I picked up cubing half a year ago, and set myself a goal of getting to sub-30. I just learned the last PLL algorithms today and now working on getting them into muscle memory. I’m averaging around 45s now, with my PR in the mid 30s.

I’m not looking forward to full OLL. If I’m ever going to do that.

I’ve been cubing for years, average around 15s, and still don’t know full OLL haha. I’m getting there, very slowly

Damn. I think just recognizing and remembering PLLs is hard enough. It must be crazy with more than twice as many.

I think I’ll focus on improving F2L instead 😄

PLL is not too bad. To be fair, I've never really focused on learning PLLs or OLLs. I usually just learn 1 or 2 to get used to them, and then just practiced other things for weeks/months. So I was always slow in learning new algs.
