When someone posts in the competition thread, if they have a bad solve, they call it "a stinking counting 5" or something like that. What is counting?

What is AUF? And could you give an example?Two questions:
What does it mean when you get "ninja'd" or something along the lines? I see people saying "EDIT: Ninja'd" and I'm just like :confused:
What does AUF stand for?
*Sigh* I'm preparing to :fp myself.
I'm not sure what ninja'd means either but AUF is adjust U-face.
:fp That was from this very thread, two pages ago. Honestly, did you even bother checking anywhere for this answer? I'll give an example of AUF. U. Here's another: U'. Oh, one more: U2.
In an average of 5 or 12 the fastest and slowest times are discarded and an average of the rest taken. For example;When someone posts in the competition thread, if they have a bad solve, they call it "a stinking counting 5" or something like that. What is counting?

The 29 second solve would have to be included in the average, bumping it up by alot.
What could be considered the fastest V/Y/E/N Perm algorithm?
Counting "XXX" means that its a time that affects your average.In an average of 5 or 12 the fastest and slowest times are discarded and an average of the rest taken.

That didn't really answer my question. I know about a5, a12, and even a100; check my signature. Many times, I see the averages, and the 3 or 10 times included are within the same consistent range, but the (time here) signifying the worst time is referred to as the "counting" time. What does counting mean, or am I just answering my own question?
For me, a counting solve is any solve in an average which is not (or will not be) the best or the worst.
But doesn't every solve in an average count/matter?
Do you mean:
a: On the 3x3x3, which one of those 4 algs can be executed in the shortest amount of time?
or b: Which algorithm for permuting two corners only (without disturbing the other corners) can be executed in the shortest amount of time?
or c: Something else....
are official scrambles (used in competitions) stored or saved somewhere?
If, for example, i want to try my "official" solves again, do I have any way to get the scrambles?
Thanks.

They are not stored anywhere, but some competition organizers save the scrambles and post them on their websites. So it really depends which competition you went to.
Is there an edge pairing method (for the 4x4) that would allow edges to be oriented correctly?
Is there an edge pairing method (for the 4x4) that would allow edges to be oriented correctly?
Do you mean so there is no parity, or for ZZ?
Are your times better when you scream, shout, or yell? I was just wondering this, I would be really interested in seeing the results. If you wanted to, you could do 10 solves, make the odd numbered ones into an average of 5, make the even ones into an average of 5, and then compare them.
Did anyone try this? I would really love to know the results and may try this later tonight.
