"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Round 59

Event: Colour Neutral

Average: 33.98


27.04, 28.17, 33.83, 43.12, 40.54, 35.26, 21.17, 30.34, 33.60, 44.70, 38.02, 29.89

Cross colour in order of solves: owowwyb(3movecross)rrwww. Tried to steer clear of blue/green as usual but the 3 move blue cross was just too obvious. Seems to be a very large proportion of white, maybe I can just see the pieces better on inspection as most sites/algs show on white cross?!

No CN practice again this week but to be fair I haven't had much time for any practice on any discipline with a very busy week at work. Going to start doing at least a CN Ao12 a day in future.

number of times: 12/12
best time: 21.17
worst time: 44.70

current avg5: 33.99 (σ = 3.14)
best avg5: 33.07 (σ = 2.04)

current avg12: 33.98 (σ = 5.07)
best avg12: 33.98 (σ = 5.07)

session avg: 33.98 (σ = 5.07)
session mean: 33.81

Bleh. One of the solves was a N-Perm. One of my weaknesses. Got a 43sec for that one. :/
 
I would like to apologise, but i just got too much involved that in some of the scrambles(i dont remember which) , i used cubetimer scrambles(which i generally use) for solving, they just came in flow with my usual habit of solving, though it doesnt matter much, but i will at least be honest to myself and everyone here. I did not repeat these as that would be unfair with the scrambles i had already performed from here. So if you want you can cancel my results for this round. Apart from that
AVERAGE OF 12 38.98
1. 36.03
2 48.48 (superpop+ thanks to pll skip for sub50 after that)
3. 38.06
4. 38.97
5. 39.55
6. 34.78
7. 36.53
8. 47.14
9. 39.29
10. 36.58
11. 30.95(another pll skip, i m incredibly lucky)
12. 42.87
COMMENTS- i m very happy that this time i was not quite nervous as my 1st time on this thread plus pretty well warmed up. So i could give the best from my side. 9 out of 12 solves being sub40 is quite a nice achievement for me.

I thought that taking a year break might make me faster, but I'm still about the same. I don't feel like I will ever be sub-30.
I feel the same way but we will get there dont give up.

I started a week ago, so I'm still color neutral :D I feel sorry for who ever told you to stick to white :D :D

In my opinion being color neutral teaches you more about the cube. And you get used to seeing white/yellow opposites. Not just Blue/Green Red/Orange

And i feel like you understand algorithms better by being able to do them with any color :D :D

Bad for me, but expected since havent really practiced at all, didnt even do last weeks scrambles. Linux and m2 taking up all my time.

I don't really think you learn more about the cube being color neutral; I think the only advantage, is if you have a bad cross, then you have a back-up, but thats why I am white/yellow neutral. I don't think it is nessesary at all to be color neutral, imo.

Brian if you can enter my last one into your chart before you put it up great if not can you just include it in the one for round 59?

Going to keep practicing with both to see how it turns out.

Right on.

Just a quick question; why was "aminayuko" ahead of me in the chart, when I had a better time than him, and also, didn't I graduate?. Not trying to complain, just wondering.

I was off the charts (and not in a good way) I guess Brian is angry because I had 10 entries and not a single sub-30 ao12 :rolleyes:

Human error.

I'm not angry... just preoccupied I guess. :)

Anyway, this should all be fixed now.
