Your U*20 speed?

[cookingfat]

4.17 then my finger got tired and I started slowing down.

I'm not doing any more.

 

[Forte]

4.22

I rock

 

[FatBoyXPC]

4.84
5.53
5.39
4.31
4.65

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

3.86 (Type A-II)
4.05 (Type E)
4.69 (V-cube 6)
4.11 (Megaminx)
6.16 (Pyraminx Crystal)
w/e

 

[GermanCube]

About 4 seconds on different cubes (F, F2, MiniDS, C, C2)

 

[TioMario]

(3.34 avg5 with storebought cube)

2.64
2.72
4.12
3.47
3.78

Pretty good considering I suck at solving (~40 avg12)
However I realized I'm kinda good at random things on the cube, like playing around with PLLs and stuff. (I average ~3 in almost all my PLLs)

 

[cubeninjaIV]

2.86

but then i realized that i only did U4*4:fp

my best REAL time is 2.99

 

[StachuK1992]

4.86
slow statue is slow.
tried 20 times over the course of 20 minutes

Isn't measuring something like R U or R U R' U' a better indication of finger speed in a speedsolve? Doing U with the index finger 20 times in a row gives me cramps that doesn't happen in normal solving.

I think, judging from the times, that is likely not a good indicator of anything.

Stefan, what was your point?

Well, I was interested in single U turns, but like I edited into the first post, measuring a single U turn is completely flawed. Differences would be more about starting and stopping than about turning, and accuracy doesn't matter much and can rely on luck. With 20 times, this start/stop influence is reduced a lot, and you have to turn somewhat properly and care for accuracy. At first I had tried 40 but that did become tiring and I decided 20 is enough.

I watched Rowe last night and saw him do L U U L' U L U L' in about 0.66 seconds. I'm most jealous of the U U with right index+middle fingers, it's one of the two finger tricks I wish I could do properly (the other being R' F R F'). I started practicing that and then I thought I should maybe dig even deeper and work on my most basic building blocks, single turns. So I made this thread, picking U turns because there were many in that above algorithm. Btw, at that point my record was 3.90, only after the "rest" thanks to typing I got faster times including the 3.28.

 

[tlm1992]

4,50 with U
4,70 with U'

U2 is much faster..

 

[gyc6001]

Although I'm a right hander, I'm a left index-fingered double flicker.

 

[HaraldS]

i did it 2 times first 3,73 then 3,69

 

[Quaddro]

4.828, 5.234, (6.218), 5.703, (4.094), 5.703, 5.000, 5.032, 5.547, 5.032, 5.344, 5.375, 4.766

 

[Ranzha]

Apparently for me, D20 is faster than U20.

 

[fanwuq]

Single, average
Left: 4.19, ~5.5
Right: 4.54, ~5.1

Done using Meffert's 4x4x4.

 

[Pedro]

3.5-4.0

better with left index, I guess from doing left-handed OH

 

[qqwref]

I got a 4.41 for U'20. Can't sub5 U20. (Because of OH (left hand). I pretty much never do U U with index double-tap.)

I also got a 2.09 for U20 continuous rotation, so I think some people who got sub-3 easily were probably using that.

 

[jms_gears1]

3.18 i fail....
2.40
2.31
2.06
i voted wrong :fp

can anyone figure out how xP
i followed the rules

You did this.

EDIT: Oh wait... That wouldn't be following the rules.

No index+middle finger tricks or continuous rotation, just 20 individual index finger pulls.

that either wasnt there or i missed it but yea..

and stefan i only missed by one my actual time was 5.31

 

[bwatkins]

Extremely Consistent:

U = 4.75
U' = 4.0

Weird...

this is the kind of stuff that makes you ruin your stickers if your nails aren't cut..
