Yeah, and those 6's and 7s were lucky. But this is fairly accurate, because my 11's, 12, and 13 cancels those solves out!

Congrats Lt Unreal! That's really good.

I got a sub-20 average in the weekly contest(sub-19 literally, actually) and a new 9.65 second 2x2x2 average. I also broke my personal best one-handed solve with a 22.xx time in the weekly contest, but it was a PLL-skip(everything was fast so it would have been 26 seconds with a PLL anyway). I'll update my signature when I get a non-lucky sub-25 one-handed solve.

Thanks. And nice OH time, my best is 33.87, I need to do OH more

pb 4x4 single at competition! 2:49. Nothing special. Actually the 3x3 part was really slow, probably more than 50 seconds. I wasn't even trying.
Next solve I actually paired up edges and centers faster, but I switched 2 centers, and messed up on Parity alg. The result was really bad, something like 3:40.

@Lt-Unreal: In my opinion everyone should practice OH almost as much as regular speedsolving. So you had better step on it! But seriously, very nice improvement on the 3x3x3! I wish I was that fast.

@fanwuq: What centers method do you use?

I was still averaging 36 seconds one-handed only a couple of days ago... today I opened up JNetCube and did some practice solves then I did an average of 12 one-handed solves. I got 34.06 seconds average. That was amazing enough so I posted on my Xanga with the session and some details. Then, I thought, "I don't want this to be just a fluke. I am going to do 20 more solves to make sure." And I was like, "WHAT? This is impossible. How did my average drop so fast?" I got a 34.08 second average of THIRTY solves. That's only a .02 second difference from the average of twelve soles.

It doesn't stop there. All throughout the thirty solve session I got a 33 second rolling average. It kept going a little bit up by .xx seconds and a little bit down so I stopped paying attention to it. At the end of the session I looked at my best rolling average and it was 32.07 seconds!

What's going on here?

Check my Xanga for the full session plus details(so you can see several of my sub-30 second solve scrambles).

EDIT: lol, I don't know what to put in my signature now. I had a bunch of 33.xx rolling averages along with my 34.08 session average, my 34.06 12-solve rolling average, and my 32.07 rolling average. Some help? I don't want to do any more solves lest my hand be tired and ruin my average.

Sub 20.(19.31)

And my first sub 30 average. (i am pretty consistent)

Check out my timelog on masterthecube.com

New PB of 36.29 yesterday. Looks like i'm coming out of n00bness

New 2x2 3x3 4x4 5x5 relay PB of 5:30.24.

1:47 on my ES last night. Either it was an easy solve, or my ES isn't as slow as I had thought it was...

18.86!!!!!!!!!!!

7 move x-cross
F2L by 14
Anti-sune + U perm.

New 5x5 PB of 2:43.37.

Average: 1:10.18
Individual Times: 1:07.72, 1:14.70, 1:10.95, 1:09.03, 1:11.24, 1:13.09, (1:23.78), 1:05.16, (1:02.24), 1:07.91, 1:10.78, 1:11.22

Sooooo close to sub70. Pretty solid last 5 solves. In an average of 5, those last 5 would leave me with a 1:07.95. Niiiice. I'm pretty sure I got kinda lucky with parity. I only remember i think 3 double parities. I guess you need a little luck with these kind of things.

Wow, that's very amazing. 100% accuracy is great. You can place number 3 in the UWR board if you submit your times.

I assume you use 3-Cycles with orientation?

Ooh. Sorry. Those were 4x4x4 times. I apologize for being vague. I forgot there are crazy fast people who actually do average that blindfolded.

I got am new 5x5 PB of 2:57.50 and a new average of 3:17.79

Not a record, but just got a killer solve.

Most (but not all) of the d's were actually y = U/U', but i shortened it slightly when re-constructing it.

L F B2 U R' U2 D2 L2 D2 B U' L' F2 D L' R2 D2 F' R' D2 L' B2 D2 B D

Woohoo, new PB and first non lucky sub 20 solve - 19.24
Also got new 3/5 best - 25.17, 28.02, 23.75, (19.24), (30.75) = 25.64
AND 10/12 - 28.35.. All at the same time!

00:22.79 with POP!

Wewt! My first sub 20 solve! 18.66 PLL skip though (I really don't care though )
My best non lucky is 20.08

OH:
26.42, 22.46, 27.47, 25.87, 27.11, 21.96, 26.76, (28.79), 22.56, 25.92, 19.99, (18.42) > 24.65

It was just getting good. On the 19.99, I saw a G around 16, so I really didn't care until it turned out to be my first non-lucky sub-20.
Then came an acceptable solve, another non-lucky sub-20.
Unfortunately, I made some painfully bad mistakes immediately after this, so I never had a chance to roll out the ba warmup times (26, 27, 25, 27)...

Anyhow, the 18.42:
