Hi,

I'm not sure where to put this, so if it is not in the right place, mods, please move it to the right place.

Well, this is the place to post your splits, and for people to review them, and can be for any puzzle.

I'll start:


Cross: 1.79, 1.76, 1.97, 1.08, 1.45 = 1.60 (Took mean instead of Ao5)
F2L: 11.88(Messed up), 9.22, 7.21, 13.73 (Messed up REALLY BAD), 10.57 = 10.52
OLL: 3.36, 3.02, 1.78, 1.16, 3.41 = 2.55 (3s is Dot case, 1.78 was L with BowTie, and 1.16 is L with AntiSune.)
PLL: 2.70, 2.26, 1.97, 2.65, 2.26 = 2.37 (Pretty consistent there, since the last two were Ga and Gb.)

Total: 17.40

My question is: How can I improve on that?

My second question is: Why is my Global Average 20 seconds then? :p





Feel free to post your own splits here.

Especially on your LL, I assume you were able to see which case you had before starting the timer. This would cut the recognition phase out completely, so you're just timing execution. Wouldn't account for 3 seconds, obviously, but that's the type of thing Genesis is talking about.

Gogogo blind cross...


I practice that every time I am crossing a road - before the light hits green, I work out a solution and do it.

Um... What do you mean? For OLL I do Dot or L case, and PLL I just do random.

Optimal Splits?

My average is around 35 right now, and my splits are:
(CFOP)
Cross: 4-6 seconds
F2L(Intuitive): Done around 24 seconds, so... 15(lucky)-20
LL(4LLL): 10-15 seconds

What should I work on to get sub-30 average? I have a QiYi Thunderclap, so don't say get a better cube.

For sub-30 just turn faster.
I would work on F2L, cuz it is the easiest thing to get down for me.
LL is crap too, learn PLL, use fingertricks, turn faster.

Hi guys, I'd like a few recommendations on what I can do to improve.
I'm averaging about 30 seconds (CFOP)
Here's my splits- ~5 second cross, and I'm done with f2l at ~20 seconds. That means that I'm averaging just under 4 seconds a pair. Last layer- ~10 seconds. I'm halfway through the 21 pll algs. I'm trying to learn lo kahead f2l, but I'm not really making any progress.
Any suggestions?

I would say to work on your F2L mainly and finish the PLL

Probably on my laptop
Okay here are mine:
CFOP
Cross - 4-6 seconds
F2L - 9-12 seconds
LL - 7-8 seconds

And somehow I average sub-20. I know Full PLL and most OLLs. I know I need to learn to 1-look the cross, but I don't know how to learn. Thanks for any suggestions!

For 1-look cross, you should practice using as much time as you need to 1-look cross then gradually get faster.

Cross - 2-5 seconds
F2L - 15-20 seconds
LL - 10-20 seconds

Overall average is slightly below 40. But especially my PLL is super bad. It hurts so much if I get a really nice F2L time, I check my clock and see: Wow, 18 seconds and I am at the last layer. This is going to be my new PB. But then my least favorite OLL comes and then a G perm and I need 8 seconds for each of them and including recognition I take 20 seconds for the LL and I get a pretty disappointing time.

Here are mine:
Cross white/yellow - 2-5 seconds
F2L - 7-11 seconds
LL (nonlucky) - 2-5 seconds
LL (lucky) - 0-3 seconds

PB Single is 10.7 (xcross), normal average is around 16-17. Goal is sub-15.

OLL Times: I know 80%, 68% are sub-1, 76% sub1.5
