DJL04/15/191m 0sOnly 1 of 4 F2L. Hmmm.
DJL05/14/191m 1sNot my PB, but close to sub-1 that I have to count it. Ugly cross, adj yellow corners, bow tie to solved.

DJL06/17/208m 46sFB daily. New PB with new YJ cube (8:45.86)! Also did it with new MGC cube, but that was 9:48.32 (albeit first, tho I doubt that matters for me).
DJL06/07/2010m 9s10:08.57 new PB! (And that's with refreshing screen three times.)
DJL06/14/2010m 54s10:54.23 just for fun, random scramble, diag corners and PLL parity
DJL06/10/2010m 55s10:54.94 fb group 2 parities
DJL04/15/2010m 58s10:58.05 though I wasted time refreshing screen on tablet. FB group. New PB!
DJL04/29/2011m 06s11:06.28 FB group...of course wasted a few seconds here and there refreshing screen
DJL04/02/2011m 31sScramble from FB senior group. One parity. Still don't like the cube.
DJL05/31/1911m 59sLucky...no parities. New cube is better, but still not crazy about it.
DJL04/02/1913m 26sNo 15-move req'd on last edges! No corner flips. Three of four F5L.
DJL05/31/1913m 42sFirst use new Shadow magnetic. Hated it! Ugh. Also got every parity possible. Sheesh.

DJL07/07/2014m 16sFB group new PB! 14:15.93
DJL05/23/1914m 56sUsed CSTimer, but screensaver kicked in, so it took awhile to unlock screen. Ugh. New 7x7 magnetic.
DJL04/14/2015m 33sFB group. One parity (last edge). Two commutators.
DJL05/12/2015m 38sFB group. 15:38.39
DJL08/26/2216m 20m16:19.50 but should be less because kept having to refresh timer. Got last-edge parity and Z-perm but did two U-perms instead. (Larger cubes harder to handle.)
DJL07/18/1916m 24sNot my PB, but second fastest, so I'm entering it!
DJL04/08/2016m 37sNo parities
DJL09/20/2217m 16s17:15.91 Not really sure what puzzle this was as I originally put it under 2x2 by mistake. But given date and completion time, it was probably 7x7x7 so that's where it is now.
DJL04/08/2017m 51sFrom FB group
DJL05/05/1918m 33sEasy F2Ls. Diagonal corners.
DJL04/29/1920m 48s
DJL04/16/1922m 37sCube kept catching, but still my PB!
DJL04/06/1924m 07sDon't know why I had to do 2 anti-sunes. Must have goofed up.
DJL03/29/1924m 53sBetter cube but not appreciably faster.
DJL03/20/1925m 38sNew edges; white/yellow centers messed up!; F5L

DJL04/10/1932m 14sDidn't seem especially fast, but I beat my best time!
DJL04/15/1932m 56sNot my PB, but close!
DJL04/03/1935m 44sCube still catches a lot. Frustrating.
DJL03/29/1936m 29sAfter lubing cube. Was it a fluke or did it help?
DJL03/19/1942m 1sNew edges method

DJL07/10/2041m 26s41:26.12 in my own relay
DJL04/28/1942m 50sStill did way too many commutators. All F2L, though.
DJL09/06/1943m 8s2 single commutators and one double; all F2L; cube stuck A LOT
DJL04/12/1945m 25sDid way too many commutators (10?), but two doubles at least!
DJL01/16/2047m 00sIt's been awhile since I've done this. No parities, but did about 8 commutators and the cube locked up a lot. Think it's just too big for my hands to move comfortably.
DJL04/05/1948m 2sLubed again but still takes too much effort to align and move. Did roughly 8 commutators. Ugh.
DJL04/18/1948m 53sNot my fastest, but still entered. Too many commutators.
DJL03/31/1951m 58sAfter lubing and practicing centers, though I doubt the latter helped.
DJL03/28/1957m 48sMessed up 15-move algo. Also did adj corner swap x2 for diag corners.
DJL03/19/191h 8m 42sNew last 4 edges method
BLM04/29/192h 21m 55sOnly third time to do this cube!

DJL03/08/2335m 28sHad to stop and restart 3 times due to texts I had to monitor, so it was actually faster.
DJL03/01/2335m 57sNew PB!
DJL02/20/2336m 02sNew PB and even had to do grey edges a few times!
DJL03/04/2336m 18sClose to another PB. Cube kept jamming, too.
DJL02/16/2336m 59sNew PB!
DJL02/27/2337m 36sFelt fast.
DJL02/15/2337m 59sNew PB!
DJL03/06/2338m 05sHad to do grey star way too many times.
DJL02/08/2338m 21sNew PB barely!
DJL02/12/2338m 34s
DJL02/07/2338m 37sNew PB! Partial PLL skip but had to do grey star several times.
DJL12/29/202338m 40sGrey edges were already aligned!
DJL02/13/2338m 49sSome OLL skip but still not quite a new PB.
DJL02/01/2339m 05sNew PB!
DJL02/11/2339m 11s
DJL01/24/2339m 18sHuge new PB! And I even struggled on grey edges.
DJL02/04/2339m 53sMessed up some sides doing red/blue
DJL02/03/2340m 03sEven messed up centers doing edges
DJL01/27/2340m 31sOLL skip! Near PB!
DJL02/03/2341m 06sDidn't feel all that smooth.
DJL02/02/2341m 19sFelt much faster. Oh well.
DJL01/28/2343m 28sWas actually faster. I messed up grey, so paused to look at stopwatch, then took my time to fix, but it was quick!
DJL01/25/2343m 36sPuzzle kept sticking and jamming. Surprised I got it this close!
DJL01/21/2344m 56sNew PB by a few minutes! Didn't have to do last step of PLL!
DJL01/22/2345m 21sMessed up gray, but still close to or a real PB!
DJL12/24/2347m 12sFirst timed giga in a long time, so not bad, though I had to watch my own solving video to remember how to even solve it when I picked it up again a few days ago!
DJL01/17/2348m 14sI think new PB and even messed up a couple of centers doing edges.
DJL01/13/202349m 46sFelt like it was really fast and had no boo boos where I had to redo centers. Still, a new PB, but only by about a minute.
DJL01/02/202350m 48sNew PB! Messed up yellow side while doing grey, but still managed to set PB!
DJL01/06/202353m 57sShould subtract time for having to hit pause three times to answer phone, door, etc. Still, it kept catching and felt slower than optimal.
DJL01/01/202354m 58sNew PB in spite of cube sticking a lot on grey layer finish.
DJL12/30/202256m 50sNew PB. Didn't track splits. Did have four edges inverted, though, and messed up grey star and had to redo other parts.
DJL12/31/202257m 46sNew PB I think! Lots of center corner squares were on bottom layers so were tricky to find and took lots more manipulation to move.
DJL12/29/20221h 0m 10sGigaminx PB! Even messed up center's while doing edges. Centers: 20:32. Edges (cum): 47:54.

Geek Date Solve Time Notes
DJL10/02/202h 23m 33sSlightly messed up in last 8-edges. Got headlights, but on big cubes I usually mess it up, so I did Sune and Antisune instead. Did a ton of commutators again, too.
DJL11/20/202h 28m 22sMessed up a white row again and totally messed up the 3x3 stage with misdoing swap adj corners. Drat!
DJL10/20/202h 28m 49sGot headlights again, but on big cubes I usually mess it up, so I did Sune and Anti-sune instead. Also got swap diag corners and that's too hard to do without fingertricks, so I did swap adj twice. Did a ton of commutators again, too.
DJL11/18/202h 33m 33sGot headlights yet again (weird!), so I did Sune and Anti-sune instead. Messed up one white row while doing yellow center.
DJL09/29/202h 34m 52sCrushed it! New strategy with a zillion commutators, but clearly it's faster than trying to figure out how to avoid them! Gnarliest last-edge parity yet, too!
DJL09/22/202h 57m 19sStill did too many commutators. Got automobile, but 3 sexy moves on this big a cube aren't that easy! Did gnarly parity in one algorithm again, though.
DJL09/26/203h 5m 2sFar too many commutators. :( May have done an extra unnecessary move on 2-look OLL.
DJL09/21/203h 19m 24sDid too many commutators! Didn't dare try H-perm, so did U-perm x 2. Messed up a little on last 4 edges, but did gnarly parity in one alg.
DJL09/19/203h 36m 0sDid many fewer commutators! Still did adj corners x2 instead of diagonal swap.
DJL09/17/204h 23m 54sSwapped adj corners twice instead of trying diag swap, as it was safer.
DJL09/16/205h 15m 26sMessed up blinkers!

DJL06/03/196m 58sCST 2x2 Blind
DJL06/03/199m 33sFirst CSTimer-captured 2x2 Blind
DJL07/05/1911m 42s3BLD (3rd in a row and my PB!). Even with parity!
DJL07/06/1912m 15s3BLD. Wasted a lot of time at end reviewing corners to make sure I got them all since I didn't trust my memo/recall, but it was just fine.
DJL06/13/1912m 16s3BLD (3x3 blindfolded) using CSTimer. Each CSTimer 3BLD here is not rounded up for milliseconds since I'm losing a few seconds anyway just having to refresh the screen so it won't go away at 10m.
DJL07/05/1912m 24s3BLD (clock stopwatch). Second in a row and slightly faster than last one!
