What’s eg?

Eg is a method where you solve a side, not a layer, and permute everything in one step. Similar to what you are doing now but the bottom layer doesn’t have to be lined up.

Oh, I see. So basically y-perm and t-perm (and solved) for the solved side along with solving the top.

19.8. Not quite official though because I didn’t use an official scrambler. I got two of my block pairs (back left and front right) right off the bat (they happened to be my normal color scheme). I also got a CMLL skip all around. Pretty easy the rest of the way as well.

Niiice! Pb?

yeah

Good job!!! I got a 13.21 OH single today. I really wasn’t expecting to beat my old pb of 15.43 but I somehow destroyed it.

That’s pretty good! (really good actually, compared to me at least). Do you think I should use f2l or roux for OH? I kinda threw away the idea of petrus because I’m getting a little faster.

I got a 51.5 using roux for OH. I definitely can do better with practice.

Do you use table abuse OH for M slice? You really should. Look up 5bld on YouTube. He is the fastest roux user for oh and 2h.

Just finished learning CMLL. It’ll be a few days until I don’t have to look at a list of algorithms, but I’ve had all the algorithms memorized at at least one time.

I actually can’t. feliks zemdegs just broke six continental records as well as a world record today. New world record for one handed single is now 6.88. That’d be ranked 59th in the world for two handed single. He is not human.

Would anyone want to do a FMC competition with me?
Edit
I’m just going to post a scramble, anyone that wants to can join. Unlimited time.

My solution:
39 moves. Rotations don’t count as moves.

49 on first try. Are we allowed unlimited tries? (Your scramble gave me a CMLL skip)

yeah for sure! Try as many times as you’d like. If you want another I’d be happy to post another. Also you may want to try Petrus as an alternate method.

Absolutely ridiculous. :o

I know.  'Tis ridiculous.

I did over 250 solves with one hand today. I can barely move my left hand.

Whether you meant to or not, you kind of just issued a challenge to me. I’ve done 125 today, and with my remaining 5 or 6 hours I’m going to try to do another 125

What are you averaging now? Surely you must be getting faster.
