since ive started cubing again, i decided to only use cubemania for timing, and i deleted all of my old cubing activity, so everything on my profile is new.

Average times are 1:45 to just under 2:00 minutes.  Just starting to learn Fridrich.

[therubikscuber]

im starting to learn petrus.
might turn this into a life log (because im that pompous/arrogant/audacious)

[therubikscuber]

my method: petrus f2l + oll, pll

oll is easy since all edges are oriented, and i already am comfortable with pll so ill use that for now. i might switch to a new ll system after a while

[TehCheezeIts]

Once you hit a plateau in your times, consider COLL and EPLL.

[therubikscuber]

extending to a 2x2x3 from a 2x2x2 is the hardest step for me, i need to be more creative in my block building (time to watch eric's vids on youtube)

identifying bad edges can be tough if im in a rush, but then i think "i suck at this, why am i trying to hurry?" and it becomes easier.

my first ever avg will prolly be in the forum comp
