Round 148
Average of 12: 22.89

1. 23.72
2. 19.31
3. 23.32
4. 23.97
5. 20.88
6. (26.74)

10. 26.07
11. 24.81

An OK average, my cube felt a little sluggish and locky probably because I have not lubed it in a while. That 16.64 solve was somewhat lucky and I had a nice look ahead plus an oll skip.

Round 149
23.00
(28.22), 21.46, 24.01, 22.64, 27.88, 23.55, 22.79, 22.40, 16.40, 27.37, 21.49, (15.92)

Not a very good average, but the last five solves were a fantastic average 3/5 for me - 20.10 - almost sub-20! Of course, that was helped by two really easy solves, so I got a counting 16.40. I noticed when I generated these scrambles that the last scramble was just 15 moves optimized, which is fairly rare, so I've been looking forward to finding out if it was noticeably easy. It may just be coincidence, but I thought it really was - it was one of the easiest solves I've had in a long time.

I tried rolling the average 3/5, but unfortunately it just got worse. :(

I would define this attempt as... a waste of time. The Dayton contest is next weekend, so I suppose it is about time for me to start sucking. It would be unfortunate if I actually did well at a competition.

Had to stop practising for a while because of a dogbite. It is healing but cubing is still a problem. However, slow turning and good lookahead make up quite nicely for my lack of handspeed

The first half of the average was pretty bad (I completely messed up a pll alg on the DNF), but the second half was a lot better.

Great to see you're improving! I'm having no such luck >.< I just hope to have a sub-23 average at Indiana Open..... Good luck with getting sub-20 :D

Thanks :p To be honest I've been stuck at 21-22 for what seems forever (really only a few weeks). Goals for Dayton are sub-22 average and sub-20 single. Goals for Indiana are sub-21 average and sub-18 single. It would be nice to be sub-20 for Indiana, but I don't think that will happen.
