I'm sure if I get a good 4x4 I will be instantly sub-50 but I don't have a good one yet.

I mean, I wasn't wrong.

New cube is Qiyi MS and it's lovely, for the fact that it's a budget magnetic cube. I basically broke all my PBs, even my ao200 is sub-50 lol

 

[baseballjello67]

You want an NR? Make your own comp and make it have only FMC just for you and a delegate who has no interest in FMC whatsoever, then just don't DNF and then you'll have an NR

Or: GRINDDDD
Or: Make @abunickabhi teach you MBLD and 5BLD and then make your own 5BLD and MBLD comp.


Simple, right?

Ill just grind instead of learning 5BLD.

 

[baseballjello67]

same grinding is better than 1000000 algs
how does abhijeet's mind even fit that

 

[gsingh]

aren't you moving to the uk
if you do the nr's will be a lot harder to get

 

[DynaXT]

He'll still be a citizen of Nigeria.

 

[gsingh]

He'll still be a citizen of Nigeria.

unless he applies for uk citizenship

 

[DynaXT]

You need 5 years of residence in the UK to become a citizen.

oh, didnt know that

 

[DynaXT]

I didn't either until 2 minutes ago.

That's why the internet exists

I think

That's why Larry Page has such a big brain

Theyll actually be easier since ill still be a Nigerian. Only thing is, I'll be more fortunate to attend more comps.

unless he applies for uk citizenship

which I will eventually do.

Also, I really need to pick up Square-1

Do it, you won't regret it.

 

[Timona]

So I did splits for 4x4 and on average, everything before edge pairing takes around 20 secs, Edge pairing takes around 12 secs, while the rest of the solve, parity included takes around 14 secs. I'm currently working on bringing my edge pairing down to around 8 secs, and everything before edge pairing to around 15.

For Megaminx , my current aim is to learn all of 4LLL before the end of this week. I currently know:
3/3 EO
14/16 CO
5/5 EP
10/15 CP

I'll learn the final 2 CO cases today (the two 5 corners twisted cases).I might not be able to learn anything tomorrow since I have an interview tomorrow, but I may have time after that, if I'm not tired. My main aim for the next month is just becoming more efficient in Star and F2L, and grinding towards sub 1:05. I'm gonna start learning full OLL and PLL when I'm sub-1.

Lagos Open is in a month and 20 days time. I wanna attend it and if I do attend it, I wanna get 4x4 NR (if Dada doesn't get it, which is highly unlikely ). Wish me luck.

I just typed this entire thing on my phone. Kill me pls.

Welp, it's settled. No Lagos Open for me. But its not gonna stop me from grinding. I wanna attend at least one comp before this year ends.

 

[Imsoosm]

If you leave for the UK in July or early August you can maybe go some comps

 

[baseballjello67]

The drive from Port-Harcourt to Lagos is like 17 hours tho.
