After aiming for sub 30 (10 of 12 solves) for almost 1 month+...finally I got it on my 121 days of cubing..average 10 of 12 : 29.29secs . Broke it around 8.05pm 22nd September 2008. Next aim...sub 25 (10 of 12 solves)...
Broke new record again...10/12 : 28.93s ... Broke it around 6.45pm 29th September 2008..
WOOHOO 27.00 seconds average 10 of 12 !! Broke it around 4.20pm 30th September 2008.. 2 more seconds away from my aim (10 of 12 : 25.00 seconds).. !!
Just changed to cross on bottom on 2nd October 2008(Night). Got my first sub 20 seconds single solve... 19.79 seconds !! Non-lucky !! 11.xx seconds for cross + first 2 layers and 8.xx seconds for last layer, got a V-permutation.... After training 1 day+ of cross on bottom, broke my single solve record for 3 times in a day, one month+ ago was 22.70 secs, then now broke 22.65 secs, then 21.67 secs and finally 19.79 secs ! Quite a good average too... Broke it around 9.55pm 3rd October 2008(132 days of cubing).
New 10 of 12 record !! After changed to cross at bottom for almost 1 week..finally broke my new 10 of 12 again (10 of 12 : 26.60 secs). I was having some warm up solves before this, after that I timed myself for the sunday contest..and I broke my average 10 of 12 in sunday contest ! Broke it around 1.00pm 12th October 2008(141 days of cubing).
Just trained for 20 minutes today and suddenly got an average 10 of 12 and single record at the same time !! Single : 19.01 secs and 10 of 12 : 25.67 secs !! 0.67 secs away from targetted average(25.00 secs) !! Broke it around 7.00pm 14 October 2008(143 days of cubing).
My first sub 25 average !!! Yay!! 10 of 12 : 24.14 secs !! A very good average too.. my previous average record was 25.17 secs and this one is 1.03 secs faster than it !! Next target 10 of 12 : 20.00 secs !! Broke it around 10.55pm 4th November 2008(164 days of cubing).
Now I can easily get average 24.00~25.99 seconds....today just broke new 10 of 12 : 23.64 secs...Broke it around 3.15pm 6th November 2008(166 days of cubing).
Based on the speed...it reminds me of Erik Akkersdijk saying about the "basic speed" one possess. He is telling us about what he think about the speed that fast cubers can obtain when they are introduced to a new puzzle. He refer it as the "basic speed". Saying that why we cannot judge on how long have you been introduced to the puzzle, but also the "basic speed" you have. The "basic speed" consists of a couple of things :
-our fingerspeed
-our mental speed (lookahead)
-our ability to tackle new problems
-our ability to apply known principles to new things
-other things we gained by experience
All of these skills are gained when we practise and play with cubes.
This is what I had read from http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6391 .
It is very true..
