Speedsolving Monthly Competition - 2009 04

[Jude]

So, here's how this competition works. I'll post 24 scrambles a month (generated by CCT), and you solve each one and take a 22/24 average. For those of you who don't know how, take off your best and worst times out of the 24 solves, and then take the mean average of the remaining 22. Programs like CCT (temporarily hosted here) can work this out for you, with a little bit of fiddling with the settings (changing the average from 10/12 --> 22/24). Also, this can obviously be done manually too, or even easier by a program such as excel. The results will be edited into this post as they come in, and then numbered at the end of the month so you can see where you came.

NOTE: Post your results in this thread in the form

Name: Average (Best time, Worst time)

P.S. This is just for the 3x3x3 speedsolve. If you want to do other events, do them in AvGalen's weekly competition.

Thanks, Jude.

Simon Crawford: 14.01 (10.73, 17.04)

Good. Started off poorly, but improved.

bah, the only reason I'm not more annoyed that you beat me by quite a bit in average and single is because you nearly got sub 14, which is really impressive!

[MTGjumper]

Heh, had an average of 25 of 13.8 earlier

[Escher]

Heh, had an average of 25 of 13.8 earlier

You need to stop improving Simon! I was supposed to be catching you up! Looks like tomorrow is going to be another epic solving day

[MTGjumper]

I have badminton, football and revision tomorrow, but that won't stop me doing at least an average of 100 Also, the average of 25 was 13.60
