Round 154
Average: 24.87


Times:
26.79, 24.92, 26.84, 21.15, (20.19), 22.25, 23.12, (1:00.48), 25.81, 22.08, 30.35, 25.35

I was pretty distracted when I did this average, and didn't take much time to warm up. The 1:00+ was a pretty bad pop, and I put an edge back in flipped. The :30 was a corner edge pair in the weong slot that I didn't catch for awhile. I expected this to be a :27-:28 average, so I was pleasantly suprised that it wasn't any worse than it is.

Round 154
Average: 25.24

23.64
23.31
26.00
27.42
27.89
25.40
25.60
21.12
25.92
24.45

25.94

Not such a good average for how I have been doing. For the first time I have had success with the whole 'slow down during F2L' this week, but I think I got too excited with the average that I sped up a bit which overall slowed me down a bit.

I wanted to get my guhong before I posted this average and graduate. Just got it today but I hate how I got the pink one (ran out of black).

Round 154
Average of 12: 21.15

1. 21.30
2. 18.54
3. 18.16
4. (18.07)
5. 23.43
6. 23.34
7. 21.25
8. 21.24
9. 21.32
10. 20.07
11. (23.63)
12. 22.89

Not quite as good as last round, but still a good average for me. I started out great, but I slowed down a bit from there. All of the times were sub 24, and I was somewhat consistent for once.

Is it okay if I join in here? I used to be around the 15 second mark around 5 months ago but I had this urge to get back into. I'm hoping I"ll stick with this again because this was my favorite hobby.

best time: 17.31
worst time: 23.74

current avg5: 20.90 (σ = 0.68)
best avg5: 19.83 (σ = 1.23)

current avg12: 20.16 (σ = 1.27)
best avg12: 20.16 (σ = 1.27)

Round 154 = 30.56 Ao12

30.63, 31.12, 37.51, 31.06, 30.51, 32.97, 27.33, 27.45, 23.13, 29.41, 28.35, 36.80

Mostly happy about this run. A new single PB (with PLL skip) and a new Ao5 PB (27.71)
A bit annoyed about the 37.51 and the 36.80.

Congratulations to CommaYou and Yuxuibbs, who graduate this round!

OMGitsSolved, it looks like you never properly graduated here, so I'll treat you as a regular competitor until you do graduate.

To anyone who missed out on this round because of my mistake, I'm sorry - I apparently had the wrong end date on the post of scrambles. I didn't want to make others wait until Monday for the next round, so I'm going ahead and closing 154 now. I'll try not to make that mistake again.

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. chrissyD 15.66

Congratulations to everyone!
