I've been kind of wondering the same thing myself. I use cct timer and I have stats like: "best ra of five/twelve". I've been using "session average"in my posts.

I know this is probably a newbish question but could someone please explain to me what a rolling average is? And should I ignore those numbers or do they serve some kind of purpose for me?
You just take the average of all the times except the lowest and highest (best and worse)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23824956/don't remove or Arnaud will kill me/AverageCalculator.html
^^that can help you out although it can't handle DNF. Just use 99:99.99 if you DNF a solve.
I am not going to explain how this thing works. It is "as is, take it or leave it"-software

Yeaaaah ! And now I'm stuck with a nice folder that I'm not allowed to delete on my dropbox :p

Just because it's still nice to race with Arnaud I am still going to race as well !
23.08 (24.41) 17.88 21.19 18.58 (16.75) 18.15 22.21 19.80 20.93 19.65 17.72 = 19.92
sub-20 but I confirm : bad light here and confusing yellow/white too often

ZZOH. Been solely practicing ZZ2H and the appropriate number of seconds I've shaved off in 2H has been transferred to OH :D.

30.85, 30.90, 28.11, 24.59, 20.41[pll skip], 34.79, 25.48, 27.16, 26.54, 30.75, 32.84, 26.64=28.39

Some good singles in there. After the 28 I was sure I was going to stick with CFOP after the average and quit ZZ, but then I got some good singles and it raised my hopes. Unsure of what to do :p.

round 121

23.26, 19.84, 18.70, 17.45, 18.49, 22.89, 21.12, 21.26, (16.92), 23.58, 22.23, (24.61) = 20.88

got allot of sub 20 solves but the last 3 solves were bad. quite surprised actually cause my cube is dead and almost unusable so i think this is a great average considering. my guhong should arrive on Monday, was expecting it today but parcel force don't seem to deliver on a Saturday .

This was an OK session, i'm averaging about this right now 21.5ish. The 16 was NL 9 second F2L and cross with a N-perm :fp I'm seeming not to be getting a lot of sub-20's but along the lines of 19.5-20.5. anyway, hopefully I'll be sub 17 by the end of the summer :D
