What is your most memorable PB?

[henrysavich]

After River Hill Winter 2014, I was really frustrated I didn't make OH round 2, and when I got home I did an OH ao250 (I didn't plan to, just kinda didn't stop) 249th solve was 13.17, I was averaging 28-29 seconds, so it was a huge surprise. I didn't break that PB till about a year later when I was averaging sub 20

The first time I ever solved 4x4BLD I actually did a supercube 4x4 instead of a regular cube 4x4. This was before I had a proper memory method too, so I memorized the locations of pieces and not the cycles, and I would update my memo of the cube state as I solved stuff. When solving, I solved the center pieces, then used the supercube safe wing parity algorithm to reduce the wing edges to (already pre-oriented) 3x3 edges, then used supercube safe 3-cycles to solve the rest of the cube like a supercube 3x3BLD solve.

The total time, memo plus solve, was about 4.5 hours and I did it in my dorm room when I was still in college. After the solve I screamed and fist pumped and generally got REALLY excited, but it freaked my suitemates out and they ran into my room wondering if I was fighting someone, or hurt, or what? When I very excitedly told them I had just solved a 4x4 cube blindfolded, they had a look that was slightly impressed but also partly "Oh, he's just CUBING and that's what all that noise was about *eyeroll* "

First sub 8 pb I screamed and ran and did wacky stuff

 

[Iggy]

No idea, but I guess it could be my first sub 10 - 9.68. At that time I really wanted a sub 10 single, and when I finally got it, I was really happy

It could also be my 5.63 though (because it was ridiculous), or even my 14:05 5BLD which motivated me to break the NR lol

Edit: oh wait I was also really happy after I got my 54.88 3BLD, first sub 1. So yeah I'm not sure

I think it was my first sub-20 for me that really got me going (18.42) - finally convincing myself that I was on the road to becoming halfway decent at 3x3.

My first sub-20 (19.88) and first sub-10 (9.50) are equally memorable. The 9.50 was over a year ago, but I still haven't gotten another sub-10.

 

[nalralz]

Got a 8.60 3x3 nl single when my other pb was 11.28 and was averaging about 20. I freaked out and yeah... It was my pb forever until I got a LL skip a while ago which brought it down to 8.18...

 

[jamessorsona]

My very first sub-20 AND sub-15. When I was averaging around 25-30 a few months back. I was determined to be atleast sub-20. But the unexpected happened I got a 13.90 not only did I get sub-20 but also sub-15

 

[Suzuha]

First sub 1 minute: 42.98
First sub 20: 16.90
First sub 15: 13.60
My first sub 15, I yelled so loud! Still waiting for my sub 10.

 

[MM99]

Either my first sub 30 a 29.99 Lel or The 8.67 PB I just got today it was insane

 

[Isaac Lai]

A 14.01 single for 3x3 which stood for 4 months. I actually equalled it once during that period.

 

[FailCuber]

My first bld success at comp. The comp was so loud like a lot of people were screaming and shouting and right next to our comp there was a music concert so no once could concentrate.

 

[guysensei1]

First FMC mean of 3. NR.

 

[kirtpro]

home pb, 20.26
i think i paused for a while after getting that

 

[tseitsei]

23/23 mbld on first ever attempt at that many cubes

 

[Bubtore]

First NR

The same for me
But did yours also beat your home PB ?

Because at that time the onehanded NR was 21.33 and my home PB something like 21.6x, and I got a my first sub20 ever officialy : 18.03 (even fullstep)

Or maybe also 9.83 because this was my first sub10 for the 3x3 and stood for over a year, and then the same time became my only NR for the rubik's cube itself (even though it only stood for 2 hours...).

yh but its skoob so it dun count :>

jk, it was a great accomplishment Just hope nobody steals it @ TGN
