Cubing Corner

wat

I don’t know if that’s funny or horrific

It’s not really all that much. Max speed I can do it in 30 minutes. But I usually take my time. I can memo a 3x3x3 in 30 seconds. So it would take only three and a half minutes if I had plenty of short term memory.

It was more of a ā€œdid I really just do thatā€ moment. Just imagine a cube in a bowl of soup. It was hilarious.

what cube was it?

my thoughts exactly. Also I hope you’re soup tasted fine after the incident.

SS Aurora. I seem to have all the soup out now, it no longer spits every time I turn it.

It was… Magical.

So you actually finished it?

oh and agony update… a white and yellow left oblique were switched after a 6blind attempt

Didn’t finish, because then I thought of the nasties that were probably in the cube, but I ate enough to know it tasted different.

Also, I wasn’t gonna post my 2:10 record, but it turns it it wasn’t a fluke, as I averaged about 2:13 after three solves.

most records result from flukes.

6bld must be getting tiring. I can’t imagine the frustration

Well, let’s put it this way. If I keep this up, I’ll break the wr for 6bld on my first success.

Feeling good. PB is now 1:16, and consistently getting 1:30-1:40. Gonna get a sub 1 minute solve on this 2 hour long car trip. I hope. Then I’m gonna learn CFOP with the free interwebs at the hotel :stuck_out_tongue:

Committing to full zbll. 117 done so far. I might start a youtube series documenting my progress. https://youtu.be/gIUuVADo_Aw

Speeding up that cross and f2l is an ever present goal. Knowing all the oll/pll algs will make you faster; but, there’s more speed to be gained in that darned f2l…

Averaging about 1:20-1:30 solving lbl is about where I was when I started cfop. When you start cfop you’ll get slower; but, DO NOT give in and solve lbl. You’re finished with lbl now. Work that f2l and you’ll be back to 1:30 and less in no time.

are you new to this thread? Don’t recall seeing you before. Maybe I’m just being dumb though. If you are new, welcome, and your spot on about f2l, although knowing lots of algs can be fun.

I’m new to this thread. I’ve been on yye for a while though.

I’ve just recently started looking at the cubing corner after I decided to get into big cubes. I just got my first 4x and 5x (yj guansu and cyclone boys.) my main 3x is the qiyi thunderclap and 2x is the yj yupo.

Anyway, cubing is an on-and-off obsession with me. I’m not an expert at all; but, I may comment where my experience could help someone. It’s fun for me even if my times aren’t sub the-latest-and-greatest.

Just got the craziest scramble ever. 1 move pseudo x cross with rotation less f2l. I then went on to fix the edges and completely ignore an easy 2gll I knew, costing me a pb.

I don’t know. Even when I do see one of those weird cases I know, the time it takes me to realize the case and do it wastes all the time saved.
