Berkeley Fall 2006
Nov/060
November 18: Off to the Berkeley competition! Carpe cubum!
November 23: I now have a complete video index page. It contains my videos from the Berkeley competition. I set my official record in every event (both average and single-except in Magic, where I tied my old 1.71 record), and won first place in Magic. I have also reconstructed my 3:22 blindfolded solve.
New Personal Records: 3×3x3 BLD, 5×5x5, Magic
Nov/060
A 2:29.56 blindfolded solve. I love it (except I almost didn’t turn the final L’ far enough…); it was even an annoying edge permutation. And a 5×5x5 PR on video. Also, Master Magic solves of 2.94 and 2.90 from last weekend; my Master Magic broke since then…
Good practice for the Berkeley competition (note the shirt on my Master Magic solves).
Master Magic Stringing Diagram

The Magic page now also has a Master Magic stringing diagram.

Magic Instructions Updated / Crazy Weekend
Oct/060
The Magic page now has very detailed instructions for assembly. I didn’t yet get to putting up orientations for the Master and Super Magics.
I’m crazy. Proof: I tried 4×4x4 BLD; it took 90 min, and I was two cycles off. Friday, I set a 3×3x3 record average (10 of 12) of 23.46 during a 26.02 average of 100, both containing a 16.75 LL skip
I’ve been filming my cubing recently; this weekend I did 3×3x3 (19.81), 3×3x3 BLD (3:32.27 PR), the barrel cube, 3×3x3 supercube, 4×4x4 (messed up a record), 5×5x5, a few good Square-1 solves, a few Square-1 solves starting square, Rubik’s World, Master Magic (the only Magic working, barely; I got a 3.10 from it), a 4×4x4 BLD DNF (still hurts), and a speed blindfolded solve with memorization of God’s algorithm (12 seconds).
Super Magic
Aug/060
I created new Super Magic pattern with world views from space. It looks nice: Front Back.
