12:00am, 1 more day til the competition. For speedcubing. Hopefully I just get my average (roughly 20.5 seconds). I've trained pretty well for this, memorizing all my PLLs that I still had to memorize (about 5) and some more OLLs (10 maybe?). So I prepped pretty well for this.

Well, hope I do well tomorrow and will post the results after the competition! I've signed up for both the 3x3 and the 5x5 solves. Keep it real.

I learned to solve cubes five years ago. Bought a cube, solved it once, took me a whole night iirc. Never touched it again haha.

That's when you leave it on the coffee table for other's to fiddle with. When they've had enough you solve it in a minute and they never visit again

Go for it man! My best time was 1:48, and after I hit under two minutes, I stop practicing. I am rooting for you!

we actually have a French cube finalist at work and he's teaching everyone speedcubing, so that would actually NEVER work.

I suspect he's referring to the 3x3, haha

the world record for a 5x5 is 51.09
