Your U*20 speed?

[Mike Hughey]

U: 4.88
U': 4.56

I think it's the same for me as for Pedro - OH made me faster with the left hand.

After 10 tries, the best I got was 4.29. I could probably do better, but it won't be by much.

Also, I was wondering: how are you guys turning the U layer? I'm thinking back to [URL="http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16188]this[/URL] thread where blah was doing a survey on cubing habits. I'm curling my finger. When I tried flicking, the U layer gets misaligned and I screw up >_<

EDIT:

How fast can you pull U with your right index finger

Nevermind...

[Tortin]

[Dene]

I had missed that thread, will check it out now. Curling or flicking sounds like something I've noticed with myself and which I'm going to analyse/practice. Here, I didn't care *how* to pull U, or rather I was unaware of a possible misunderstanding.

Meh, I took a few days off cubing

3.47 First Try
Best 3.10

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

that's weird:confused::confused: i'm a lefty, but i do the u2 fingertrick right handed!

 

[martijn_cube]

i have 3.88.

 

[kjcellist]

Best I can get is 4.59.

 

[HelpCube]

4.91

 

[Kenneth]

I can do U2 U2 U2... almost as fast as U U U... if I use the "Gunnar finger" style, is that cheating in this case?

You mean you're doing (U2)20, equivalent to U40? And I don't know what "Gunnar finger" is.

 

[cincyaviation]

4.31

 

[PeterV]

Best single = 3.51
Best AO5 = 4.07

With some practice I could pretty easily average sub-4.

 

[theretardedcuber]

3.91

 

[egon.Ages]

3.62

And I don't know what "Gunnar finger" is.

I think he meant the finger trick when you pull U2 with your index finger finger at once. It is known for a one handed finger trick, i guess Gunnar uses it (or used it). I know this trick from Milán and i'm not 100% sure that's what Kenneth meant, but if that is, i guess it is cheating.

My time: 3.52 (first time)

Hehe, nice to have a finger trick named after me.

I only use it for regular solving, and it's indeed that I pull U2 all at once. I only do it with my right hand, can't do it with left. For OH I find it faster to do U twice.
