Issue #04 | A Week In Cubing by Zach Trimble

Issue #04 | A Week In Cubing by Zach Trimble

First of all, I would like to apologise for not being able to post last week. I got busy revising for my End-of-Year Exams (OEY), but they are finally finished, so I will be able to continue these articles next week. As I write this, I am on a plane heading to the Scottish Championship in Edinburgh. My goals for the competition are as follows: - Achieve 2 or 3 singles under 20 seconds in 3x3 - Set a personal record (PR) in Pyraminx single (my current PR is 8.78 seconds) - Advance to the second round in 3x3, 2x2, and Pyraminx

I have just returned from the Kewbz Scottish Championships, and I am very pleased with my performance. I achieved the following results:

- In 3x3, I got a PR single of 15.14 seconds and an average of 20.91 seconds.

- In Pyraminx, I achieved 2 singles of 7.50 and 7.23 seconds, with an average of 9.36 seconds.

- My Skewb average PR was 19.74 seconds.

- In 3x3 OH, I achieved a single time of 46.94 seconds.

- For 4x4, my single time was 1:43.55, and the average was 1:29.44.

I'm thrilled with these results and look forward to more competitions in the future, I have another competition, Stevanage June, and some of my friends are going to this competition I have only 1 goal get a sub 15 solve not average just singleand I thing I can do it if I practice I think I can get a sub 15 solve.
