Holy crap. I have improved tremendously, just by sitting down and practicing my Intuitive F2L. Man, it goes a long way, I see. Hopefully it wasn't just a fluke, and I can continue like this next round. And my consistency isn't too great, etiher...

Now, just need to finish up my last 4 PLLs, and I can get that one sup-30 out of the way.
 
Round 21

Average 47.06

StDev 9.78

38.80
46.68
65.49 (messed up cross half way through f2l)
58.32
56.80
(37.37)
39.91
DNF (massive OLL fail)
45.01
43.59
38.04
37.93

Consistency is a major problem for me (particularly when I forget OLLs), but generally I think I'm getting much faster :)
 
Gonna order some new stickers soon... my FII is practically unusable because the faded stickers make recognition ridiculous. I might stay out of this round for that reason.
 
Average:28.46
I think this means I graduated :D
Thank you so much carson this thread is awsome. I kinda wish i could spend more time here. Oh well I'll be back for OH

32.69, 25.98, 21.88, 23.01, 31.84, 19.68, 31.48, 32.44, 28.19, 35.26, 29.50, 27.58

^^
Also new PB 19.68 woooo sub 20 and new pb Ao5 23.62 ~2 seconds faster than old one set last week. :D :D :D :D

EDIT: the times got so bad because i was soo shakey from my new pb's. Also the last solve was pll skip
 
New graduation idea: When ALL your times in the Average are under 30. (or sub20 thread, in that case under 20) That way it makes more sense to graduate. 'Cause I've seen some people graduate that are still getting in the high 30's, and lower 40's. Plus, I know some people like to stay in this thread longer. Anywway, just an idea.

Does anyone else have any input on this? It is true that some graduates still have frequent super 30 averages (myself especially), but requiring all sub-30 solves would make it pretty difficult. I rarely have an AO12 that does not have a super 35 solve, and I will likely be getting consistent sub 25 second averages before I am able to avoid the 30+ solves for an entire average.

This is why it takes three consecutive averages to meet the graduation requirements.

I am open to modifying the graduation requirements if a number of people would like to see such a change, but requiring ALL solves to be sub 30 would be a little too strict in my opinion.
 
It depends. Like, last round I had an Ao12 sub-27, yet I had 1 solve which was sup-30. **** happens, and it can ruin it. Maybe do something like Kynit said, of no sup-35s. To make it harder, you could even do no sup-32 or something specific.

No sup-30s is kinda strict, since you could have a bad solve, and that would ruin everything. Besides, if you have 1 sup-30 only, it gets dropped anyway.

When I graduate here, I want to make sure that at least 90% of my solves are sub-30. If I graduated and had a bunch of solves that were sup-30, and a couple lucky ones that got me barely to 29 and under, I would feel like I cheated, and wasn't really sub-30. If you are sub-30, you should probably never get a sup-35, unless it's one of those horrible times, where something goes wrong, and you only realize later or forget a LL alg. By making it no sup-35s, you guarantee that the people graduating aren't just getting lucky by fluke, since they will never have any time near 40, which they shouldn't, in my opinion.

Felt good about my cross and f2l this time. About 3 of my times would've been better but I was using the emulate stackmat with keyboard option in CCT and i accidentally press something that minimizes it so i have to alt tab back in and stop the time.

Umm... Since you submitted two results for this round, I used the first one.

current avg5: 59.93 (σ = 2.05)

current avg12: 59.25 (σ = 5.24)
best avg12: 59.25 (σ = 5.24)

session avg: 59.25 (σ = 5.24)
session mean: 58.84

1) 1:01.57
2) 1:06.19
3) 58.26
4) 46.30
5) 1:07.30
6) 1:01.32

8) 54.91
9) 59.19
10) 1:03.92
11) 57.87
12) 1:02.74

The first 46 was xcross on purpose, and then a U perm (not a slow pll :p )

My f2l averages at around 30-35 seconds. my LL blows horribly. I should probably try and learn OH LL algs..and also I'm using a very worn in haiyan memory. absolutely no corner cutting on it <_<. lockups <3

very happy sub1 OH ao12 though..

Sweet. I'm improving pretty fast all of a sudden. Again, I got 1 sup-30, but at least it was by .81 seconds.
And my average has 666 in it. Lol.
