Hey Mike! I'm back! Trying to be a dual-cross solver with W/Y.

Round 269 (Yellow Cross only)
Average: 19.82
18.22, 17.64, 19.61, 22.21, 21.64, 20.08, (16.82), 17.60, (27.46), 20.73, 21.18, 19.28

I'm surprised it wasn't worse than this. I didn't warm up at all. I forget when was the last time I even tried doing yellow cross. But even if I graduate this quickly, I might stick around until I feel that yellow and white are more or less the same. I pause way too much in F2L right now when doing yellow. The white pieces pop out at me all the time and it's hard to find yellow...

Round 269

Way too often, my last solve of an average is a disaster. Like today.

1. PianoCube 18.90
2. sneaklyfox (yellow cross) 19.82
3. cowabunga 22.64
4. Ooi Yan Qing 23.14
5. Mike Hughey 23.14
6. AlexByard 23.66
7. numberx3x 24.56
8. khoavo12 (3x3 on 4x4) 25.04
9. JianhanC (OH) 25.46
10. Outsmash (OH) 26.16
11. guinepigs rock 31.19

PianoCube is only one round away from graduating - good luck next round!

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. ElectricDoodie 20.16

Congratulations to everyone!
