Round 299
23.09
23.14, 24.72, 20.38, 22.68, (36.69), 22.64, 23.22, 23.75, 23.85, 21.38, 25.16, (18.58)

Only one of these 12 solves did not have some big mistake that cost multiple seconds of time - the 18.58. If I could stop making mistakes, I really think I'm sub-20 now. I think probably the best way for me to improve from here is just do a few thousand solves - I think I'd be sub-20 then.

Round 299
Average of 12: 22.07
(27.08), 21.43, 22.83, 19.50, 24.55, 23.53, 19.75, 22.02, 22.53, 19.81, (18.22), 24.72

Wow :/ underwhelming, considering I've been getting a lot more 20-21 averages recently. Completely blanked out during cross in first solve, and did the wrong OCLL in solve 12. Ah well. Back to practise :)

I made way too many mistakes with the recognition of the E-slice edge colours while F2L'ing. Gotta work on that.

You should join the Regular Non-Uber monthy 4219.5 Cube Marathon.

i should really do that marathon ahaha, i already do averages of 100, slash 150ish solves a day, probably would be pretty interesting to see the progression over a large set of solves

Round 299 - 24.92 ZZ-b

24.77, 22.48, 23.17, 29.49, 29.71, 21.22, (30.86), 21.38, (17.33), 28.57, 25.22, 23.23

super inconsistent, the 30.96 was super derp, the 17.33 was super nice OLL-skip after F2L -> T-perm. Gotta get those algorithms learned

19.78 (normal solving)
21.58, 17.69, 24.33, (24.45), 18.03, 20.11, 17.06, 21.93, (15.66), 15.93, 20.74, 20.38

Round 299 (OH)
Average: 26.81
24.09, 33.51, 28.91, 20.34, 26.15, 27.38, (20.03), (36.19), 24.14, 30.97, 23.74, 28.87

Almost sub-20 on two solves. 20.03 would have been sub-20 except I knew it was fast and got too excited when I also got a ccw Uperm. Like, "No way! ccw Uperm too?!?" and I peeked at the timer and it was only at 17.xx or something and I thought I'd beat my PB for sure... so... FAIL...
