My FII needs lubing and tensioning. Decent-ish.

I just failed miserably. 18.4 over the 1st 6 then 27 followed by 33 got angry and closed QQ.

Congratulations to Sg.Speedcuber, who graduates this round!

mehran_bj6890 is 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):

NSKuber 19.21

Congratulations to everyone!

Round 66
22.79
22.42, (26.32), 22.32, 25.36, 21.04, (18.84), 23.00, 19.48, 25.11, 22.16, 21.45, 25.60

Well, that's two good rounds in a row. But the problem is that these averages seem atypical - I seem to be doing better for these scrambles than I do other times. I don't think I've actually gotten better by changing my pacing; if anything, I'm a little slower. But maybe I just need more practice. For this particular average, I imagined a metronome in my head (starting around 120 beats per minute) and tried to make all of my turns on the beat (except some moves like R U R' U', which I would do at double tempo), and I gradually sped up the metronome until I got to the LL, whereupon I went as fast as I could. I guess it worked pretty well, but the twelve solves before this were a 24.xx average, using the same technique. Maybe I just need more solves to get used to it?
