Everyone has a better 3x3 single than me

Not really...

My official 4x4 average (44.52) while averaging like 52

 

[Yellowsnow98]

12.85 single when I averaged 32.
I average 25 now but that remains my PB.

 

[IWillCube]

Breaking my PB on 3x3 (I'm a 30-40 second solver) Previously 29 now 21 in like 2 days?? (Both Lucky Solves)

 

[mrtomas]

1:26.xx feet official single. My pb at that time was like 1:30-ish.

Winning magic at my first comp was quite cool. Other than that, maybe my 14:05 5BLD (first sub NR). It was only my 2nd success, so I was shocked at how fast it was.

Edit: My 7.45 3x3 single was really unexpected as well, it was abnormally smooth lol

 

[Eva]

A 19.03 solve (with scramble from the internet),while I'm averaging around 40.
My last pb was 32.34,so it's a big improvement.
It was a very lucky solve because the whole first layer could be solved in 4 moves.

 

[creativecuber15]

I got a 16.87 second - solve in my first competition. I usually average at 23-25 seconds, and my first solve in that comp was a DNF.

 

[theace]

My 3/3 Official Multi BLD Success. That was my first ever Multi BLD attempt.

 

[Reprobate]

I had very modest goals when starting out. I wanted to be able to do a sub-60 solve within a year. It happened in pretty short order, but I don't remember exactly when.

 

[Brunito]

getting a world record in pyraminx

 

[larosh12]

Got sub 1.5 in 2x2 (1.20) 5 moves solution . could have been sub 1 if I had put down the cube early. the cube was solved in blink of eye so i wasn't sure to put it down or not . average 5-6 secs on 2x2

 

[WhatIsRubiks]

Well, when I first started cubing about a month ago, I was terrible (still am, but whatever). I was averaging about 5-6 minutes. I pulled off a 2:47 and I was so excited. It was really unexpected. Of course now I average about 1:48. Which I know is slow compared to the people around here, but I am proud and ever improving. My average was 2:29 just 2 days ago.

 

[AntFu]

I broke my PB in a competition!!!

 

[Nilsibert]

If I'm not mistaken, I jumped from 22-25 averages to 16-19 averages in like 3 or 4 days, which still amazes me.

1:12 4x4 single. It was a normal scramble, on my shensu.
