Wow, so bad, but mainly the start. First 5 solve average: 24.89. Third through seventh solve average: 25.98. Eighth through twelfth solve average: 21.05. Ridiculous.

1. 20.15

10. 20.31
11. 19.72
12. 17.47 Avg - 19.79

Average of 12=19.70
20.46, 16.77 (easy cross), 23.69, 19.50, 20.17, 18.34, 20.46, 19.25, 16.92, 19.73, 19.95, 22.24
It's weird how I get 16's with these scrambles but when random strangers shuffle the cube for me, it's rare to see a sub 20.

Round 388

20.11 16.48 19.42 (15.92) 18.22 18.54 20.61 21.12 (22.81) 18.32 22.37 18.75 = 19.39

Is it finally happening? What just happened here? LOL Awesome scrambles. Did all on white and yellow.

17.71, 15.64, 21.32, 18.03, 17.25, 18.93, 30.30, 17.36, 17.51, 21.12, 18.14, 20.89 = 18.83
Simply AWESOME.

24.92

7 26.43
8 23.73
9 26.37
10 28.12
11 26.56
12 25.84

I don't know what is going on. It is like sometimes I can see ahead in my solve, and other times it is like I am blind. Oh well, this is better than my current global average, but the variation is killing me.

22.61, 19.70, 24.13, 22.47, 23.41, 20.09, (17.68), 20.76, 23.61, 21.54, (28.06), 19.64
ao12: 21.80
after a few weeks racing to sub-25 I've returned with some better avergaes than when I left
still a great avergae for me possibly even my pb

1. FailCuber 18.83
2. MarcelP 19.39
3. David10000 19.70
4. penguinz7 19.79
5. hiruzan1994 21.80
6. Mike Hughey 23.46
7. dsbias 24.92

Congratulations to David10000, who graduates this round!

FailCuber is only one round away from graduating - good luck next round!

Congratulations to everyone!

Sorry - I got held up - I'll have them up in a little bit.

Sorry, when I went back and read my post about the times not being up, it seemed a bit rude. I was just asking if it was a problem with my computer or something, not passive aggressively asking for you to hurry lol.

1. (17.98)

Round 389
23.20
25.28, 20.26, 24.08, 23.58, 23.40, 20.81, (20.03), (26.31), 22.79, 21.83, 25.71, 24.25

Horrible twice in a row. I think it's because I'm practicing Heise solves to try to get better at FMC. That really seems to mess with my CFOP solving.

@dsbias: That's okay, it was a fair question. I normally get them out at the same time, but sometimes I get interrupted between the two posts, and this was one of them.

Round 389

17.89 19.16 20.05 20.45 20.03 21.25 18.69 21.77 (28.56) (14.91) 20.45 17.95 = 19.77 //The 14.91 was a pair skip and PLL skip

EDIT: @Mike, quit fooling around with other methods. Focus man! LOL..

14.76, 19.30, 19.05, 19.32, 13.31, 17.10, 18.21, 20.93, 18.35, 22.53, 15.45, 15.27 = 17.77
Wow........

22.95, 27.44, 24.17, 21.80, 26.88, 29.26, 20.96, 25.37, 22.88, 21.70, 29.17, 23.20

AvgO12: 24.56 rather lousy :/

Round 389

Average: 22.45
Standard deviation: 4.46

1-12 - 22.14 23.24 23.01 19.37 (19.05) (36.48) 21.52 20.27 26.84 22.26 21.45 24.35

Getting faster, I think... just messed up the PLL on solve six and pretty much had to restart the solve.

1. FailCuber 17.77

Still being affected by Heise, but sometimes in positive ways (more negative than positive, but still...).

@MarcelP: I can't help it - I want to get a decent mean of 3 at Fewest Moves - I figure if I'm decent at Heise, I'm virtually guaranteed of sub-40 solves in fewest moves. (It remains to be seen whether I can actually get decent at Heise in the next month or not, but I'm going to try.) This is a several-week diversion; after that I'll be back to normal. And it's nice that you get some really different ideas for building pairs when doing a lot of Heise that can carry over into CFOP solves.
