Wait what? That store sells cubes? On another note, is anyone going to nationals, either competing or not?

I knew you couldn’t when talking yoyos, but as YYE doesn’t sell cubes, I didn’t think it would be a big deal.

cool. Btw, I finally (I hope/think) am going to learn those 57 algorithms. Any suggestions on which I should learn first?

I’d say just do it intuitively, that’s what I do and I average around 19-20.  
Stuartww, just learn the ones with the sexy move in it like f RUR’U’f’ and things like that and also the t ones.

I do. All of them currently on the market are complete crap. In other news, 4.63 3x3 single, 9.40 ao100.

Also, don’t make fun of Riley, he’s a legitimately fast solver, about the same speed as me. The misscramble was definitely not a move for attention, and truly a one in a lifetime thing. The odds of that solve were ridiculous.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t making fun of him, nor do I believe that he rigged the solve. I am making fun of the people on YouTube who cannot type properly and also, as you said, the ridiculous odds of getting a solve like that. He is so much faster than I could ever hope to be, and even with his lockup on the solve, he was much faster than I was. I am truly sorry if you took offense to this, it wasn’t meant as that.  
P.s what 4.63? That’s honestly insane. Doesn’t that beat your pb by over a second?!?!

Also Kennan, GJ on that 4.75 you got on cam. That was so crazy.

Okay so this is the scramble that I got my 12.1 on. I’m curious to see what some of you guys can get. I predict Kennan will get a high 5.  
U2R2U2L2B’D2F’LUB2URD2BFRF

Also I got a 19.936 ao500 (done over 4 days)  
And a 18.453 ao100

Edit: not quite sure what happened this week. I shaved 2 seconds of my average by barely practicing.  
8.97 single  
14.31 ao5  
15.31 ao12  
16.49 ao100  
All pbs

Aww man I’m mad right now. Popped on a potentially pb scramble that would have given me a into a ~13.4 ao5 tried the scramble again and I got a 8.22. X cross with free pair to oll skip and a t perm. So two pb fails in one solve, ☹
