Cubing Corner

What are your splits for 5x5

what?

Times for centers, edges and 3x3 stage.

On a good time I’d say 4 : 7 : 3 is the ratio, give or take a little on the edge pairing.

Do you use lube? I’m kind of wanting to get some, and I’m wondering what a good lube would be.

I use a mix of Maru, weight 1 and traxxas 50k

I don’t really want to buy three lubes… so are all of those good by themselves?

Btw, 1:13.50 4x4x4.

I’d say go with traxxas and Maru.

do i really have to buy both? And those two aren’t lubes specifically made for cubes, right?

Maru will make your cube faster. Traxxas smoother. I’d get traxxas if only one

20.35 ao5. Yeah!! That’s a pb by a good 1.3 seconds. I was just spotting everything those solves.

Yeah!!! So close to sub 20! Keep it up!
Got a 7.8x solve on cam. Not sure if I’ll upload it or not. It was a winter variation pll skip. Messed up the winter variation a bit. Could have been sub 7 on cam.
It is definitely a more impressive solve than my 7.26, my turning is getting faster and more fluid lately.

How many sub - 8 solves have you done?

I’d guess 9-12 but I don’t really know

Nice.

Coincidences coincidences… guess what I got? 20.35 ao5 again. Close…

15.46. Really cheap scramble though. One move cross. Had an f2l pair all made when I finished the cross and a one move pair up after insertion on the first one. So it took me just over 5 seconds to do the cross and half of f2l.

Used it to get a 20.05 ao5. I got over 26 on the fourth solve. I really blew it there.

awwww. Do you have the scramble still?

No… stinky site. 14.89. No cheap scramble that time. I can’t believe I just broke my record twice, and by a good margin too.

Nice! I’m having relatively good success with wvcp. Got a 6.7 already with it. Last layer was R2 D R’ U’ R D’ R2 U2 R U2 R’

easy last layer.
