Cube Log
All trials based on 12 minus the high and low unless otherwise specified.
Best 3x3x3 Avg: 24.63 (2/17/07)
Best single 3x3x3 nonlucky solve: 19.35 (2/8/06)
Best single 3x3x3 lucky solve: 18.42 (9/29/2005)
(nonlucky meaning i didn't skip any step. like swapping corners)
* - New best time
(#) - The number I ended the rolling average on.
Jan 3, 2005 - Started with solution at nerdparadise, and switched to petrus after about 3 days.
In a couple of weeks I was down to about a 90 second average.
Jan 27, 2005 - Completely switched to Gilles Roux's method.
Probably taking about 2.5 minutes per solve learning to deal with orientations on last step.

took some time off to practice new algorithms. i learned the 6 ones i didn't know to orient and place the corners if there is one corner up. rows b,c. that way with any corner position 7 moves puts me to one of the 10 algs in this step.
so, i now have a 2-look corners. rather than 3.
