5x5 single solve

PB 5x5 single solve of 5:49.81!

I know this time stinks but it's really good for me. My previous PB was like 7:17 so it's a big improvement.

Over the past couple of days I've been doing 1-3 solves per day. 5x5 is fun!

3x3 10/12 and 3/5 solve averages

PB 3x3 10/12 solve average of 16.65 seconds!

This average was incredible! Sub 17! Man I don't know how I'm doing this. =D Seems like if I REALLY look ahead I can get good times. I thought the F2L of these solves were easy though. AND.... none of these solves were lucky! =)

The bold part is a rolling average of 5 of 15.70 seconds.... should I count it as a PB? I think I should....
Edit: I will =)

Almost sub 18! SD was really bad though. I still think I can do better than this - I was surprised how good the average was.

Westchester Fall 2008, New cubes

I got home from the Weschester Fall 2008 competition!

It was a lot of fun and I brought the same three friends I brought to the Newark Open 2008.

First round was 3x3, and I did not do very good. I got a 19 second average so it was so so. I made it into the 2nd round though! The first round took a very long time, went to like 12:30 and we started at like 9:45.

Then it was 2x2. I don't know what my average was but I did bad. Like I think it was 11 seconds or something.

Then came 3x3 OH. I didn't make it even close to the qualifications (lower than 35 seconds) but I got a new PB! =(

Magic was next. I got some new PBs but then I got a +2 on one of the solves and a DNF also. So I think my average is going to be worse than the average I got at Newark Open 2008.

Finally we got to the second round of 3x3. I did worse and got like a 20 second average. Didn't make it to the finals. =(

Last came 3x3 BLD. I had yet to complete one successful solve but I learned the method, so what the heck, it doesn't hurt to try. So I tried all 3 attempts and on all of them I wasn't even close to getting a successful solve.

Because of the amount of time the first 3x3 round took, a lot of the events were cut. They were: 4x4 speed, 5x5 speed, 4x4 BLD, 5x5 BLD, 3x3 Mutli-BLD, 6x6 Unofficial. I was unhappy about 4x4 and 5x5 speed because I actually practiced a little bit and I wanted to get better times! =(

Like Newark Open 2008, I made another AWESOME trade. The same kid gave me a used white V-Cube 7, and I gave him an Eastsheen 4x4, and my storebought 3x3. LOL. And then he wanted to refund my 5x5 trade I did with him at Newark but then later he got a brand new black V5 from Dan Cohen for $40.

It was an awesome competition, but I didn't do so well as expected. =( Well now I have lots of time to improve for the next competition (which will probably be in 2009)

I also saw Drew's awesome puzzles he built, including two Teraminx's!

One last thing, Rowe Hessler got a 52 second BLD solve. Shame I didn't see one of his great solves again. =(

4x4 single, first 2x2 BLD

PB 4x4 single solve of 2:03.72!

This was a "hand scramble."

The solve was quite faster than what I normally get. The centers took 20 seconds (usually it's 35+). I don't know how long the edges took but it was a little bit faster than normal. Then, the 3x3 phase was REALLY bad. I don't know how long it took but it was probably like 35+ seconds. I had LOTS of lockups.

Well, I'm really happy about this solve. I'm surprised I got this fast because I'm using a Rubik's 4x4 that locks up A LOT which usually slows me down. I'm going to be practicing 4x4 more to prepare for the Westchester Fall 2008. Later I will also be practicing 2x2, 3x3, 3x3 OH, 3x3 BLD, 5x5, and Magic.

---------------------------------------------------------

I did my first successful 2x2 BLD solve! Here is the video:

Newark Open 2008, New Cubes

I went to the Newark Open 2008! I had a great time. I brought three of my friends with me too. =)

First, I got there at like 8:50 in the morning, and I saw a crowd of cubers waiting in front of the Newark Public Library. I was really excited, and sort of amazed at how many people who were already there.

About five minutes later we got in and then everybody started to set up. We were in a long room with lots of chairs and and row of tables at front. The set up took like 15-20 minutes, so it was a little boring. They needed some timers so I let them borrow my =D timer.

Finally, we started to begin. I registered, along with my friends, and then a few minutes later I was called up for the first round of 3x3 speed. Tyson Mao judged all of my solves, and I did pretty well. I think I got a 19 second average but I'm not sure because they didn't announce it.

The first round took a long time - more than an hour. I think it might have even taken two hours. I felt bad for my friends because it was their first competition so they had to wait for more than an hour until they were called up. The first one averages about a minute, second around 1:20, and the third around 1:40. I did some judging and it was nice to see my friends officially solve their cube. I was really bored during the first round so I also ate my lunch during that time.

After a long time of waiting 3x3 OH was next. I just signed up for the fun of it, as I don't really do OH. They announced that you needed to get under 35 seconds within your first two solves or you couldn't continue. Well, I don't really do OH so I average like 2-3 minutes. Actually I didn't even solve the cube both times, kept on messing up on the U perms on the both solves, and just gave up and had DNFs.

Then, we had the 2x2 round. The first solve for me was 5 seconds, which is pretty good. The first layer was really easy, anti-sune, and PLL skip. The other solves I just got my average times - around 10 seconds.

Then I had the second round of 3x3 speed. My friends didn't make it in the second round so I was all alone. =D I didn't do so well, and my average was like 20 seconds or so. Didn't make it into the 3rd round =( Also, Rowe Hessler got a 8.9x solve for 3x3. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it but the audience reaction was huge. My friend claims he was judging Rowe Hessler on that solve though....

Then, some people were doing 4x4 BLD and I was judging Tim Reynolds. Unfortunately, everybody got DNFs.... =(

I signed up for 3x3 BLD a few days ago, guessing I would learn to memorize the cube by now, but I didn't, so I didn't do 3x3 BLD. I "unregistered" and got my $2 back =D. The fastest time was 1:01.xx by Alex Yu.

Then came 4x4. Like 3x3 OH, I was doing it for fun, and they had the same qualification 2 solves thingy, because the library was closing soon. I averaged like 2:45 or something, and since you had to get a single of 1:15 or lower, I was going to be done after 2 solves. I got like 2:53 and 2:35 or something like that. The second solve was actually my 4x4 PB =D

Then came the 3x3 Final Round and the awards ceromony. There wasn't anything too special except in the awards ceronomy, most of the winners got called up multiple times. The "prizes" were medals and certificates.

During the competition, I met a lot of people. Some people I know that I met from this forum are Stachuk1992, Patrick Jameson, waffle=ijm, Jason Baum, Tyson Mao, and some other people I didn't get the names of. I also got an autograph from Tyson Mao. =(

Jason Baum can do U perms in less than a second, and he showed me how he did his clockwise U perm when the solved edge is in the back. I'm not fast at it yet, but I can see it's very fast potential. Rowe Hessler showed me him doing a T perm in less than a second! He has a REALLY fast cube and does the fingertricks most people use so he can do it very fast.

Also during the competition I made an awesome trade. This kid wanted my Easthsheen 5x5, because he "just liked it." He already had an V5 and another Easthsheen 5x5 so it was kind of weird that he wanted mine. After many times of me declining his offers, we finally decided on one. It was a very good deal for me but not really so much for him.

He offered:

• Used White V-Cube 5
• Used Old Rubik's Brand 4x4
• Barely Used Famwealth 3x3 Cube

In turn I gave him:

• Barely Used Black Eastsheen 5x5
• Barely Used Painted Version Type E DIY

It was kind of shocking how he offered this offer. He says the V-Cube 5 is too big for his hands (his hands are tiny) and he really wanted my Eastsheen 5x5. The offer was good so I said ok and I'm happy! =)

My friend bought a White Type A 3rd Model (not tabs) for $10 for a good. It's amazing at corning cutting, pretty smooth, and turns pretty fast. I think it's a very good cube, and I would like to buy one for myself later. The cube already had skidproof stickers on them, but I don't really like them too much - it feels weird.

Lastly, that day was the first time I tried V-Cubes. To my surprise, they were a little bit heavy, but they're turn pretty well. This competition was awesome and I can't wait until Westchester! =)

The 11 second solve had an easy cross, extremely fast F2L, a Sune, and a U2 for PLL (PLL skip).

Cross: x2 L F' R2 D' R D2
Can't remember the rest >.<

Haha the 14 and 11 second times saved me =D

Man! When I was saying I was going to get PB averages soon I was right! I tried 10/12 solve averages though but it didn't work too well. Got 19.99 seconds and 19.93. Well, tomorrow is a new day =) (I'm busy now).

3x3 single

PB Non-Lucky Single Solve of 12.97 seconds!

Again, this was a really easy hand scramble. The cross was like 3 or 4 moves, the F2L was blazing fast, the OLL was one look, and the PLL was a J permutation. I'm getting a lot faster these days - most solves are under 20 seconds now. You guys should be expecting PB averages soon....

3x3 single, New puzzles

PB 3x3 Single Non-Lucky solve of 13.97 seconds!

I did this on the car, so I was using a "hand scramble."

The cross was normal difficulty, and then I had to only insert two or three F2L pairs. Plus, my look ahead was excellent on the F2L. Then I had an Anti-Sune for OLL, and a clockwise A permutation for the PLL.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I got my $216 Cube4you Order! Here are the videos: Part 1, Part 2

I know $216 sounds like a lot, but most of these items are for my friends. I just ordered it all for them.

3x3 3/5 solve average

PB 3x3 3/5 solve average!

The DNF was when I was doing a clockwise U permutation, but then I missed the last trigger. Meaning my hand failed to grab the cube. It doesn't matter anyway, because when I stopped the timer, the time was 24.xx seconds.

Then I tried to make it into a 10/12 solve average, but then I got lots of 20 second solves and got an average of 20.66 seconds.

The last 12 solves of the average was the best average.
Would this be considered a rolling average? It was the last 12 solves of the average. IMO, I would consider it not a rolling average. What do you guys think?

Found my Type D screw

Today I had a surprising discovery. I found my Type D screw I lost last week!

A week ago on Tuesday I was in an Asian Super Market. I was playing with my cube on one side where my old Type A core was broken the screw kept on coming out of the core. I was being real dumb and didn't put the center cap on. So eventually my screw was at the point where it was at the top of the screw hole thingy in the center piece. I was turning the cube and then my entire top layer came out! I mean all top layer cubies, the center piece, the screw, and the spring. I found all the pieces except the screw in like 20 seconds. Where was it? I looked for like 20 minutes between crates, under shelves, but couldn't find it =(.

Okay so today I went back to the same Super Market and decided to look for the screw again because I had nothing better to do. After like 10 minutes looking like a moron crouched down I found it! It was behind a shelf, which really puzzles me. It's hard to explain, but it was in a place where it could not have naturally been when I popped my cube a week ago. I suppose someone was sweeping the floors and I put it there.

Okay so my old Type A core is broken so I couldn't use it. I used the Type D core instead and to my surprise the cube was pretty good! It seems that for the Type D core, the screws can't go all the way in compared to the old Type A core so the cube was pretty loose. It felt almost the same when I had an old Type A core. It turns a tiny bit faster but cut corners slightly worse (probably because I was a little loose). It also looks like it's going to pop but doesn't. I've only used it for like 2 minutes so I'm not sure how good it really is.

Also, is this an old Type A core?

Lost one of my Type D screws

Today I was being real dumb and I lost one screw of my Type D DIY cube! The Type A core is broken too! -(

I have to use my store bought cube now. It turns better than my DIY because I've used it more, sanded it, and lubricated more, but it doesn't cut corners very well. It's not that bad at cutting corners but I do lock up more than with my DIY cube.

My Eastsheen 2x2 broke

Today my neighbors and I were playing Man Hunt. (Hide and go seek tag in the dark). So one of my neighbors and I were in "jail" and he was playing with my Eastsheen 2x2 cube. All of a sudden, he saw one of our teammates get tagged, he got so excited, that he slammed my 2x2 on the ground. =(

After looking for some pieces and going inside the house, I found out that the cube was broken. One part was in fragments, and they were a lot of pieces missing still. I probably won't get another 2x2 for a long time, and I was just getting REALLY good at it today! =(

New hybrid cube

I made a hybrid 3x3x3 cube that turns great and cuts corners incredibly. It is now my main speed cube. Here's the story.

I have one store bought cube, I used it for about 4 months until after I got a Type D DIY, and it has been sanded a couple of times lightly with a file and steel wool. It has also been lubricated a few times with silicone lubricant spray. The cube has become looser because the sanding has made the cubies smaller, and it turns VERY fast, but it locks up a lot =(

Lately I haven't been happy with my lubricated Type D cube with a Type A core inside. It just feels slow compared to my store bought cube. So I thought, why don't I mix the cubes up? So today, I replaced the Type D cubies with store bought cubies in my Type D cube, and..... WOW, it's AWESOME!!!! It's just like my regular store bought cube, but it cuts corners wonderfully because of the Type A core, and now I can adjust the tension! It's still pretty loose, and I've only played it for like 5 minutes so I'm not too used to it, but it's WONDERFUL! =D.

4x4 single

PB 4x4 single of 3:04.93.

First 5x5 solve

I solved my 5x5 Eastsheen Cube. I think it took me over 30 minutes. =D
The centers were REALLY confusing, the edge pieces were easy except the last pair. I'm glad there's no OLL parity and I didn't come upon a PLL parity (not sure if there is one). I'm not going to solve it again in a while, I just solved it because my cousins wanted me to.

3x3 single solve

PB 3x3 Solve Time of 15.92 seconds!!!!!!!!!

So, I was looking at this thread http://www.speedsolving.com/showthread.php?t=4692 where the person was saying the solve was perfect. So I scrambled my cube, and tried to solve it. The cross was easy, 3 F2L pairs were already paired up, I had one pause during F2L, OLL was 1 Look, and PLL was a U permutation. Since it was an easy scramble, I didn't count it. Later, I tried to redo the solve, when I found out I scrambled the cube incorrectly. So now I can count it as a PB YESSS!!!!

This is a very good average! On the 4th solve, the PLL was an E permutation, and since I did the algorithm from the wrong angle, the cube wasn't solved.

PB 3x3 50/50 solve average. It's my PB by exactly one second, but it's very inconsistent. That 17 second solve was a REALLY easy cross and F2L (8 seconds), but my last layer wasn't as easy. I feel the average still could have been better..... In the 50/50 solve average, I had a PB 10/12 solve average (24.62 seconds - in bold). Since the average was rolling, I'm not going to count it as a PB.
