yeah learn 2 look oll/pll it doesn't take too long to learn and it will significantly drop your times

**dabomb2223** · 12-2-2016, 07:16 PM

I know F2L and I use 2 Look OLL/PLL but I only have 4 of the 7 cases for the OLL memorized. Really if you just learn bow tie and chameleon you can use those to transform all the other cases to one of those before solving it, but obviously it would be better to just learn all the cases lmao :P.

My best single is 27s but I average around 35. One day I'll try to learn true CFOP, but I'm not sure if I want to get much better than like sub 20 haha.

I used to be pretty into speedcubing and at my peak my best avg was 17 seconds and best single 13 sec, but that was like way back in 2003 or so

Also did a couple blindfolded solves, and my best was 5 minutes. Felt too mentally exhausting so I stopped (My method involved keeping track of 48 numbers and I had no mnemonics to make it easier)

This was by far the most frustrating part for me.

At one point, for 3x3x3 BLD, I had a pretty good system down where the layout -> mnemonic translation was very fast, but I still found it really hard to just retain it all in my head. Edge permutations in particular were really hard to memorize quickly. (I did corner orientation, corner permutation, then edge orientation, edge permutation). The whole thing is super exhausting.

I tried doing edges first but then for some insane reason I'd completely forget the corner stuff! It made no sense to me.

**dabomb2223** · 12-2-2016, 08:37 PM

I'd love to be able to solve BLD, but from what I've heard I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to put in the time nor effort required to do it.

If only it were easy lmao.

Cerise79 · 12-2-2016, 10:54 PM

o rubik's cube thread aaaa

I average around 8 seconds with pb around 5.4 seconds.

Other than 3x3, I also do Megaminx, Square-1, and one-handed competitively
Also can do BLD in around a minute or so. Best was just over 1 minute.
Trying to finish learning 3-style method for BLD so I can get 40~50 second BLD solves

Been doing this for half a decade now and still going xd

Yo,

I collected twisty puzzles far more than solving. That said, I practiced basic 3x3 solves for a few months when I was competing with my friend in middle school.

PR: 27.03
AVG: 40.27

Now? With an hour of warming up I could probably get it to a minute.

**iCeCuBEz v2** · 12-5-2016, 12:13 AM

1 minute !!!

Only ones I know are bowtie, chameleon, sune, anti-sune, and for some reason the chameleon headlights combo.

IIRC headlights alg is j-a-c-k-e-d up and the double headlights one I basically just do with an extra 2 moves anyway ¯\_(ッ)_/¯

**TheSoftTacos** · 12-5-2016, 02:27 PM

I know F2L, 2-look OLL and I'm almost done learning full PLL
My average is somewhere around 28 seconds and my PB is about 17

that's what i use. usually somewhere between 40 seconds and a minute

**iCeCuBEz v2** · 12-13-2016, 03:34 AM

I just learned 2look oll omg the algorithms are way easier than i thought.

Ill learn pll tmrw

**rushyrulz** · 12-13-2016, 09:13 AM

PLL ones are even easier weeeee

**iCeCuBEz v2** · 12-13-2016, 11:07 AM

Im trying to 2fl but its pretty difficult atm. I love solving with the cross on the bottom. I started it last night and its wayyyy better.

**iCeCuBEz v2** · 12-13-2016, 11:43 AM

Omg i just realized this brought a whole new meaning to my username -.-

**rushyrulz** · 12-13-2016, 01:26 PM

I tried to learn F2L but dear god, there's no way I would be able to remember all those algz without going through 1K+ solves.
