However, while my collection is now more focused on diversity and uniqueness &#8211; I still like to dabble into speedsolving from time to time.  With a new, Christmas boost to the collection &#8211; I&#8217;ve upgraded my 6&#215;6 and Megaminx &#8211; the former, a terrible V-Cube and the latter broken in shipping.  Due to these substatial updates, new efforts were made to break decade-old records and in each case, the personal bests fell swiftly.  <\/p>\n<p>My 6&#215;6 record, residing at over 15 minutes, was shorn to 11:11: an improvement by over four minutes.  The Megaminx took a pair of tries before it too tumbled.  I only did this puzzle for speed a few times, and I don&#8217;t endeavor to break this record &#8211; a half-minute improvement &#8211; any time soon.  <\/p>\n<p>A pair of records brought into the current decade, now leaving but the 2&#215;2 and Pyraminx as sole representatives of the 2010s.  Oh, and the 3&#215;3 but that&#8217;s OK.
