Round 58
13.70, 15.22, 16.13, 15.69, 18.39, 13.61, 21.84, 17.70, 23.39, 16.77, 16.86, 17.75 = 17.00
Aww, so close to sub-17. I'd better hurry up and graduate to let someone else get the top spot. The 23 had 2 pops in it. And the 2nd 13 i looked at the timer and got nervous, it should have been a 12.

Round 58: Avg = 25.20

00:23.11
00:28.37
00:28.34
(00:22.84)
00:26.75
00:25.00
00:23.29
(00:29.68) dropped the cube
00:25.76
00:23.48
00:24.81
00:23.06

I hated every minute of this lot, just wasnt getting good speed, probably my biggest problem was lookahead during f2l and especially finding my first f2l pair. What was potentially going to be my best solve, i got a p oll (a non fast one) and dropped my cube

Does this count for anything? I just did my first average of 5 that was under 20. 17.95, 17.92, 27.20, 19.09, 19.28=18.78
All of the these were not lucky in anyway and this was just supposed to be a warm up avg of 5.

And the full avg of 12 was 20.67
17.95, 17.92, 27.20, 19.09, 19.28, 18.39, 22.97, 23.95, 18.50, 18.75, 24.64, 23.13

Round 58
19.51

17.04, 18.85, (30.01), 22.21, 18.11, 18.99, 20.07, 25.59, (16.34), 17.04, 19.01, 18.14

Good average. On the 30.01, I misrecognized the PLL. And all were NL except for the 18.99 I think, which had an OLL skip. Also, I think part of what has been holding my times back is the lighting; my house's lighting is pretty horrible in all the rooms, and on my desk it's really dark and has very yellow lighting, and I made a few color recognition mistakes in this average (pretty much all the sup-20s). I think I may get a new lamp there. Without Daylight Savings anymore, I don't cube while it's light out and that's where I got most of my good light from throughout the spring/summer/fall.

Anyway, so I believe I've graduated, thanks a lot Mike, for maintaining such an awesome thread!

EDIT: Sorry for quadruple posting, I've deleted them, my Internet was being silly/Speedsolving's error was in the way.

round 58
Missed a couple of rounds but im back, with my second best score ever in this thread! Had a pop in the 5th scramble which made my time faster!! (during reparation I saw 2 pairs ready for inserting in F2L whe I actually had planned to do a third pair which would have destroyed these easy pairs)

Round 58

23.24 20.95 (26.34) 19.62 18.93 21.25 (17.73) 19.16 19.29 20.11 18.85 17.75

Just one question. In the results for last round, it said that I graduated. Do I need to go to the sub15 thread or should I wait until I get an average that is all sub20?

Race to sub 20 Round 59

masteranders1 avg12: 24.97

Times:

26.10, (30.62), 24.47, 25.77, 21.26, (20.76), 30.05, 21.26, 22.72, 24.60, 27.97, 25.45

I am forced to use a store bought for this average because the blue sticers on my FII are so faded that they look like white. This is a good average for a store bought, though. If I used my FII and the stickers weren't faded, I probably would've got a sub 20 single and maybe a sub 24 average.
