Hello speedsolvers! I focus on 3x3, with occasional dabbling in 4x4 and 5x5.
I've been enjoying 3x3 solving for about 2 years now, mostly with small communities among friends. Thought it was about time I joined an online group.
I spent a few months thinking beginner's method solving was amazing. Then i gradually started pushing my times and my methods. Moved over to CFOP and got under 1 minute with 2 look OLL and PLL. Decided to learn full CFOP which took me a year (I'm in my 40's and working full time, so that's my excuse). Tracking progress in averages of 100, I broke 40 seconds last Nov 2019, 30 seconds June 2020, and finally got under 30s in August, currently settling into the 27s area where I seem to have plateaued.
Pb single is 16.361, 20.833 truncated avg of 5, and 24.516 truncated avg of 12.
I'm currently managing to get sub-20 solves 2 or 3 times per hundred. Hoping to eventually get <20 s solves consistently. But learning CFOP and simply getting an average below 30 s was my original "big goal". I'm amazed at how it's possible to continue to improve, though I'm happy enough with what I've already achieved.
