"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Round 122 - 3x3 speed
Average: 48.50

46.99 49.20 41.59 48.66 50.69 33.42 53.29 1:25.40 46.60 42.44 38.09 45.57

#8 was a pop that involved searching around on the floor. The other 11 solves average 45.14 which is 2 seconds under my mean for the most recent 100 solves on Prisma Puzzle Timer. And I finally got my first solve under 30 seconds.

Which solve is under 30? Or do you mean a solve outside of this average?

Yeah, outside. Apparently, every now and then the scramble gods serve up a pitch that even I can get sub 30. In this case it was a 4-move cross (which only solves one way and) which leaves two pairs completed on the last layer, ready to insert. The scramble, with white starting on top is:
L2 D' B2 R2 U' F2 U B2 F2 D F2 R' L' D' R2 B R U F

They should take a percentage of each contest's money and give it to the author of prisma puzzle timer who makes keeping records like this so easy.

Tonight, after work I will try and see if I can get a sub 30 as well on this scramble. I just love it when I get an easy scramble. It just does not happen that often. Maybe once per 1000 or so.

Carl, thanks for posting this scramble. I also got a sub 30 solve and it really made my day! Video of the solve here..

Round 123 "speed (LOL)" 49.14

49.35 50.66 54.02 46.77 64.02 48.18 1:02.77 56.04 41.47 38.98 45.39 42.08

Somewhat over busy and out of practice, and I seem to have put some hit points on my left thumb joint / carpal tunnel? by excessively clapping while watching my football team get slaughtered by BYU on Thursday.

I'm going to try to take better care of my hands this week and get 100 solves per day. Instead I've been doing lots of 7x7x7s. I think these may help my look ahead a little, but it is not an efficient way to practice 3x3x3. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to a sub 10 minute on the thing maybe this month.

after the 40.3 solve i changed my cube from SS to a rubik's brand. i had to go slow with the SS since it pops a lot. the rubik's brand is well lubed. it is nice. but still a dayan cube would have been better. am looking to get one soon. :)

Yeah, this thread is the best one of the ones in which I've participated (sub-20, sub-30, F2L, LL). I love getting to see the record of the past rounds all on one spreadsheet and the graphs that show clearly how my times have improved. (Thanks, Brian!)
