Round 47 Results

  1. RyanReese09 18.62
  2. fatboyxpc 19.51
  3. AJ Blair 19.62
  4. cincyaviation 19.93
  5. JonnyWhoopes 20.87
  6. Toquinha1977 22.00
  7. Elliot (OH) 22.83
  8. Bounb 23.00

  12. mehran_pes2007 25.32
  13. ElectricDoodie 26.01
  14. Mike Hughey 30.00
  15. Carson 30.43

Some very nice results! (If you don't count me...)

We have 3 people who are one away from graduating - RyanReese09, fatboyxpc, and cincyaviation. Good luck on the next round, guys!

Alumni (these people have already achieved sub-20 three times with no over 20 results in between, and therefore are considered to have graduated):
  1. NeuwDk 18.46

@NeuwDk: I can see that you first graduated (by our definition above) in round 35. Since then you've done it several more times. Remember graduation requires 3 sub-20's with no over 20 results in between; it does not require that they be consecutive rounds. But NeuwDk, you actually had 3 rounds in a row with 33, 34, and 35, so you've graduated even without that stipulation!

Round 48
23.55
(28.52), (20.35), 24.63, 27.14, 23.96, 22.19, 22.90, 21.38, 21.56, 24.44, 22.54, 24.78

I'm quite happy with this, since I had 3 G perms in it and I used the new ones for all of them (28.52, 24.63, 24.44). Still slow to recognize them (oriented differently, plus I need a second to remember which one is which), but I'm getting better at it.

For this round I just practiced those G perms like crazy and did a bunch of solves. I'll just be doing a bunch of solves this week - no more new algs for a while; I need to get these solid.

I keep getting worse haha. My cube locks up so much when I'm trying to execute algorithms, so I need to work on reducing those (and not go in slow-mo during F2L). I recently learned 4 more PLLs though, so now all I have left are the G perms.

21.30, (16.02), 24.90, 18.46, 17.94, 18.46, 18.68, 21.02, 18.44, (26.02), 16.80, 19.25 = 19.53

So I was hoping that since I only had two counting 21's and a counting 24 that I'd average lower than 19.53, given all those 18's :p Oh well, I'll manage! I guess that makes my 3rd as well, but I'll probably stick around here instead of sub15 as when I'm cubing on my own I've only got one sub20 average of 50.

Round 48 (OH):

24.03, 21.11, 21.34, (29.40), 28.05, 19.54, 20.15, 21.88, (18.47), 22.34, 21.23, 25.28 = 22.49

This could have been considerably faster without the 4th and 5th solves.

Round 49:
21.80
23.72, 20.61, 18.36, 22.60, 24.82, 22.67, 20.36, (46.73), 20.64, (17.92), 21.48, 22.70

Woot! For this round, all I did was lots of solves. I've probably done 500 solves since round 48. The new G perms are still slowing me down, not helping: the 24.82 and the 23.72 were both G perms. (I execute them fast, but it still takes me a long time to recognize and then recall them.) But my overall speed seems to have improved a bit. And it helps that today seems like a good day for me. (I'll probably be back to normal next week, knowing me.) The 46.73 was a disastrous mistake in an OLL which scrambled the whole thing so I had to start over.
