Michael music plays while I do a 9.87 Rubiks Cube ao5 at home! cubykh 2023-12-09 | I realized I never uploaded a sub-10 average of 5, so here's one! this was filmed on Oct 19, 2023.the music is named "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy"The 10.51 was embarrassing - at 7.2, I just had to do a sledge (4 moves) and then a COLL (10 moves with AUF) to finish the solve. But those 14 moves took me OVER THREE SECONDS TO DO WTFThe 11.80 was also embarrasing, I was at A-perm at 8.6, but didn't finish the solve until 11.80. Bad cube rotation.

Check his videos out: youtube.com/watch?v=aPU-wW1GB0wAt the time, I thought this would be the last time we will see our clocks fall back an hour (due to daylight savings becoming permanent in the United States). But Meester Tweester and Lexikiq pointed out that the bill to make Daylight Savings permanent has not fully passed through Congress yet, so perhaps we will keep getting to change our clocks many more times in our lives.

55.75 mega single with 1.4 TPS PLL (and convo with Mitch Lane of 625 fame) cubykh 2022-09-28 | PR at Bay Area Speedcubin’ 37!When I got to PLL (at 49.9), I was only trying to solve edges (since I use 4-look-last-layer), but I saw a lot of blocks so I was trying to preserve them. I didn’t realize that after doing the 7-move edge PLL, the whole thing would be solved, though! So that means I spent nearly 6 seconds to do AUF + 7 move PLL ☹️

We Dont Talk About Bruno OLL (this video is more an encanto fan video than a speedcubing tip, haha) cubykh 2022-02-24 | I recently watched Encanto, and then I saw Tymon’s awesome 3.95 video. So I wanted to make a silly little video connecting the two together! To be honest, I'm not advanced enough at 3x3 for this tip to matter for me. (You're probably saving only ~0.2 sec by doing it.) Also, I know there's a Winter Variation solution for this case (U R U R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R). But if Tymon Kolasiński (the world's fastest 3x3 speedsolver) is cool with doing U2 R U2' R', then I'm cool with it too!Tymon Kolasiński's original video (Fullstep 3.95): youtube.com/watch?v=ako9Lw15z3c"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto, I'm probably going to get a copyright claim but that's okay: youtube.com/watch?v=bvWRMAU6V-cThe speedsolving OLL page where I got all the screenshots: speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/OLL

Five 8s today (solves start at 1:05) cubykh 2022-01-15 | i got five 8s today. That is pretty good for me! Also, I recorded everything on my WebCam, but I think if I wanted better camera quality, I should just use my iPhone to record.Second: I just noticed that all 5 solves are either J perms or U perms. Maybe I should improve my other PLLs?Thirdly, I checked, and I've actually gotten a 7.93 fullstep solve. So what I said at 2:15 is not true!Fourthly, I decided to reconstruct the solves and noticed that the 8.93 solve was 66 moves. That's not very move-efficient, but that means I had 7.39 tps

The history of the fastest Skewb singles in the WCA cubykh 2021-05-02 | Hooray! Skewb's history is much shorter than most other Rubik's cube events, starting in just 2014. But that doesn't mean it's any less interesting!This is my first Cube-Roll-style data visualization of speedcubing data since I switched to my new computer, and since I started exporting Processing output to a video file using Hamoid's video exporter, instead of an image sequence! (I've been using image sequences from Jun 2011 - Aug 2020.) Note to self: Just as an aesthetic choice, I think in the future, I should add a bit more blank space between the bar chart itself and the "top row info" like the date and Billboard song. Right now, it's looking kind of cluttered, so some visual distinction between the two areas would help!Data source: worldcubeassociation.org/results/rankings/skewb/singleMusic: "Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy" by Michael Huang, a.k.a. my brother, a.k.a.
