3x3 10/12 solve average

PB 3x3 10/12 solve average! The times are pretty consistent too. I think I can consistently averages 23 seconds now because of my new hybrid cube and being more relaxed Smiley My F2L is also a lot better.

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.

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.
