5. 47.32
6. 54.03
7. 79.83 (am I the only one who, when faced with the prospect of his first ever sub-25, completely and utterly forgets how to do a T-perm and ends up with pretty much a scrambled cube again?)
8. 52.68
9. 57.82
10. 73.98 (don't know what went wrong here)
11. 46.66
12. 54.46

Back to the 50s again. This was a disastrous session. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Messing up easy PLLs, mixing up colours - hooray for my colour blindness - putting F2L pairs in the wrong slot and not noticing it, etc. It looked so promising after last weeks sub-50.

Round 85 - 3x3 on 4x4
Average: 28.55

Times: 28.62, 31.17, 28.00, (23.56), 27.85, 25.77, 30.60, 32.81, 25.81, 30.00, (33.41), 24.91

Pretty terrible - several of the solves seemed to take forever. But at least I've graduated, so next week I can start trying it on 5x5x5. I've not timed a 3x3x3 solve on 5x5x5 in years - I'm really curious how fast it will be, but I'm determined not to try until it's specifically for this competition.

Good avg for me, not as good than last week, but it was clearly not my real times last week. Holidays are coming, I'll try to improve during that time, I'll learn the G perms in the plane

Round 85
I am learning roux and will be using that now, so my times will be slower, but there is much more potential for improvement with roux than there is for CFOP

Individual Times: (1:41.40), (44.72), 53.65, 53.66, 53.86, 1:00.50, 48.72, 1:04.82, 58.01, 1:15.83, POP, 51.28
Average: 60.59 seconds

It took me about 1 year to get to those sorts of times with CFOP, I've only been doing roux for 1 week, there's a ton of potential for this method!
