Racing to sub-20

I expect to reach them in this order: 5x5x5 first, 3x3x3 soon after, 4x4x4 will take a long time
Me too. I'm not sure I'll ever make 4x4x4.

(I will probably end up doing the first 91 rounds as well in the next month)
I'm not sure all the scrambles are there for the early rounds. But you can at least do the ones that I have marked in post #2 in this thread. I suggest you spoiler them, though. :)

I just joined in on the race to sub4 2x2x2 and don't know if I will ever make that. I think you will reach sub20 3x3x3 before sub 2 5x5x5.

I have saved scramble 1,2 and 33-91. I was actually going to comb through posts 300 to 1250 to find the other scrambles and results, but if you are telling me that they aren't there....

I certainly should. I've just been down about it because I was making no progress on 3x3x3 for so long, despite working on it so much, whereas with 5x5x5, I make quick improvement every time I work on it. Lately (on 3x3x3) I've found that if I just turn as fast as possible and forget about "go slow and look ahead", I do much better; it seems like with that approach, I really might not be that far away from sub-20 after all.

I believe some of them are there, but others are not. For a while, he altered the first post with the new scrambles, so some of them are not there; I'm not sure which ones are there and which ones are not.

Dont even ask about the 30.84 it was a totally cross mess up! Pretty good this week was warming up at 25 average so for this it was good!!!
 
Round 93
AVG: 21.37
18.64, 19.22, 18.75, 22.74, 21.77, (17.34), 24.98, 20.59, 23.46, 20.95, 22.59, (25.81)
OMG first 3 solves were great!!! My F2L was fluently with great look-ahead. But after that it went back to normal solves, except for the 17.34, great F2L.
 
14.08, 24.17, 20.10, 21.37, (13.83)[green cross], 13.61, 18.18, (28.61), 16.82, 21.29, 23.67, 24.47

= 19.80 (σ = 3.75)

Done colour neutrally, for fun: I have no intention of going colour neutral. You can clearly see the times when I do the yellow cross, except for one great time with green. I restricted myself from doing the white cross no matter the scramble, which I suppose is not what colour neutrality is about, but I wanted to see what happened.

I think he puts color neutral on there for those who aren't color neutral, but are trying to sub20 with color neutral (aka different event then what you normally do)
