So I’ll be honest, this week wasn’t the greatest in terms of productivity. I had a lot of assignments due during the beginning of the week and then I got sick mid way through the week. However, we must press on, so I tried my best with what time I had.

I continued to work on algorithms this week through a new website called Cubing Cheat Sheet. You can find the page I used to learn here. This website is very similar to others, which is great as it fits my learning style well. They have many options for algorithms to use, which is the main thing I look for as it allows me to choose the one best suited for me. I was able to learn about 6 algorithms this week which isn’t a ton, but again I didn’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to my learning project this week due to my assignments and unfortunate sickness. I also only have 8 more algorithms to learn before I have learned all of them. I also continued using the Jperm trainer to practice my recognition and execution of the algorithms.

My best average for this week was as follows: (30.21), 21.61, (19.89), 23.82, 22.09 = 22.51 seconds. The solves can be seen in the video below.

So I didn’t get many solves in this week but the ones I did get in were pretty decent, with most of my times falling between 20-25 seconds. The algorithms I have learned are playing a big role in my times as well as just general practice. I think that with the month we have left this semester I can get my times down to under 23 seconds consistently as I am already getting a lot of averages under 23 seconds now. Next week I hope to finish learning all the algorithms and move on to other things that can also help improve my solves. I will share more details then.
