Too true Craig, I've just (well around 40mins ago) worked it out, and everything's sweet ... I just got a wee bit confused there for a moment. 5:15-5:30!!! that's amazing. Have you lubed your cube (I've yet to do this to any of my cubes)? If so, what type of silicone spray is best? What is the breakdown for your times for each step (assuming you do the centers first...)?
