It would help with my 3x3 phase of 4x4 reduction. Recognizing PLLs on a 4x4 is confusing cause it's all out of proportion and it's good for F2L and that. The 3x3 phase of the 4x4 reducion method is pretty quick but I still think it's rather slow considering my 3x3 times are consistently 26-27.

Since I'll be doing two Ao12s (maybe three) I also planned on putting them in spoilers so that my post wouldn't munch up a ton of space.

That makes sense. Yes, by all means do it and submit them all. That's a good idea to post your alt color and 4x4 reduction results as spoilers, but please leave your white cross result visible so its obvious which one I should add to the chart.

I realize you probably want all three of these tracked on the chart. I have an idea to make that work but please let me do this for a couple rounds and get a feel for it before trying to get too fancy.
 
Yea take you're time getting used to how the thread works. Don't worry about my yellow cross and 4x4 reduction times until you get a feel for it all or unless it's not too much trouble.

On number three I did the wrong pll, and on number 5 I had a pop, put it in the wrong way and had to pop it out and back in again!

The Bellon Cube Timer listed my average of 12 as 41.15 and I thought that seemed generous. I did the math manually and found the average was actually 46.47! I went through all the previous rounds and found that every time I used that timer, it calculated my averages wrong. I am more of a beginner than I thought, and I'm not even decent.

I'll be trying new timers this week and learning more PLLs.
 

That's very much like http://mzrg.com/qqtimer/. It says if I log in with my yahoo account it can keep track of my statistics... have you tried that? If so, do you know if it can make graphs?

And Bellon may eliminate the slowest and fastest time and then average the other 10 times.

Nope... I figured my averages both ways just to see. I'm still not sure how Bellon calculates it.

Also, I am looking forward to you running this thread Brian, and I wish you luck.

Thank you, Lorken!

Several people haven't posted yet... I'll put up the results and new scrambles this evening.
 
Yes QQTimer and the Graphy QQTimer are pretty much the same and I have used the graph function. I personally only graph my solves after a serious session (at least 40+ solves for me) but it does make a line graph of your Best Single, Ao5 and Ao12 for that session. So if you have a great session where you set all new PBs and then a horrible session the graph will obviously go up. My graph on this timer isn't too extensive. I keep track of all my bests on a sheet of paper in my desk and then I use cubemania. If I ever want to actually graph all my bests I'll grab some graph paper and a pencil and do it by hand, but that's just me.

Wow, so nearly missed the deadline, had to do all the timing and this posting on iPod . Used Memory for first time in ages, forgot how fast a cube it is. Very happy with results.

Round 25

You need to post your individual times as well. Go to the first page to see an example post. Please follow that format. Especially with it being Brian's first week. Let's make it easy for him since I can't imagine many of us wanting this type of responsibility that he has taken on just to help all of us improve.

Yeah sorry, I was worried about missing the deadline, so I rushed out my average then went back to edit in my individual times.

Edit: VVV I use Speedcube Timer, but will give that other one a try.

Oh alright that makes a lot of sense. I've missed a fair few deadlines on this thread too and I can understand your feeling.

As a side note, what timer do you use on you iPod? I use iiTimer.
