yum EG

damn...
Do you only use 1 and cll?

Yes, but yesterday Justin taught me how to do EG2
I don't know all of EG1 very well; I'm comfortable with 4/7 sets and I still need to practice sune/anti-sune and L... yet the comp is on Saturday :S

I don't use EG but even when I first learned CLL sune/anti and l have always blown. Do you know ss?

I know the SS cases that preserve seperation (so actually a subset of SOAP!), but I haven't bothered with any others just yet. You?

I'm def learning ss. I have to have some chance at keeping up with the eg crowd, and full eg sounds ridiculous. I started learning some a while back and i recently picked up again but i suck at recognizing.

2x2 BLD - DNF DNF DNF = DNF The two bottles of wine I just consumed has nothing to do with this lack lustre performance.

I will use my times at Bristol for Magics this week. I really want a sub 3 single on Master. I've had a few over the last couple of daves, so fingers crossed.

Master Magic - 3.21 3.47 3.93 4.94 4.28 3.89avg
Magic - 1.59 1.68 1.53 1.56 1.65 1.60avg This was a real surprise.
3x3 - 27.66 23.58 27.03 27.46 28.83 27.38avg
4x4 - 1.25.15 1.44.00 OP 1.47.77 OP 1.34.18 1.29.36 1.35.85avg 1st ever counting sub1.30
5x5 - 2.34.97 2.33.11 2.47.25 2.42.34 2.48.15 2.41.52 OOOOHHH!!!! Huge PB avg. I'm so much better in the comfort of my own home.

Using only one method is for losers.

3FMC: 28 moves

scramble: D2 L2 U' B2 D' R2 F2 U R2 D' F L' B U R' U' L2 B2 D L' U2
premove L'

solution: B L F' R2 L B' R B2 L F' U R' D2 F U' F' D2 F U R U2 F' U' F2 R' F' R L'

2x2x3: B L F' R2 L B' R B2 L

3xcross: F' U R' F. R

leave 3 corners: U2 F' U' F2 R' F' R

undo premove: L'

.= F' D2 F U' F' D2 F U which cancels 2 moves.

Didn't spend much time on this one either. Blocks were pretty easy to find, and the finish just sort of fell together. A little disappointing that only 2 moves canceled, but it is still sub-30 I guess.

All my f2l practise is doing good. All non lucky.

3x3 BLD

[SimonWestlund]

Megaminx: 1:17.44, 1:10.90, 1:11.30, 1:21.90, 1:11.40 = 1:13.38 - Bah! Not satisfied at all!

 

[blah]

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: Epic fail.

I found a 5-mover for completing (almost) first two blocks for Roux, and then I DNFed it.

Inverse scramble: U2 L D' B2 L2 U R U' B' L F' D R2 U' F2 R2 D B2 U L2 D2

L U' L D2 L completes first two blocks minus one edge.

 

[Zane_C]

3x3x3:
(30.26), 34.41, (36.04), 32.01, 31.60
Avg= 32.67 seconds

3x3x3 one-handed:
(1:12.69), 1:37.77, (DNF), 1:44.54, (DNF)
Avg=DNF

Comments:
3x3x3:
That's a bit of an improvement.

3x3x3 OH:
First solve was good,
Second solve the last layer locked up bad.
On the third solve I had that stupid PLL that swaps 2 adjacent corners (OH amnesia).
fouth solve OH amnesia, but I recovered.
fith solve I had the same problem as the third solve.
Overall, excellent avg...
