"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

Well, I just got my first sub-30 Ao12 and I'm feeling really good, so here I go...


Round 123:
Average of 12: 27.96

30.74, 27.11, 26.56, 25.27, 28.90, 29.37, 27.33, (24.50), 30.32, 29.28, (53.23), 24.76

Yay, my first sub-30 average in this race! The 53.23 was just a fail; I messed up the cross, and then fixed it wrong. It was kind of funny.
 
32.42
Round 123
Wow, don't practice for two weeks, this is what I get :(
Oh well, I'll get there. I'm so close.
32.545, 26.744, 34.764, 37.365, 32.917, (26.319), 34.224, 28.697, (37.992), 34.238, 31.623, 31.127
 
Round 123 (OH)
Average: 36.74

32.04, 35.98, 36.22, 39.32, 41.07, 39.42, 32.68, 41.49, 31.53, 37.68, (42.48), (29.76)

Hardly had time to practice and this is still really good for me. Finally got the sub-30 time at the end. Thought it'd be another week without any.
 
Round 123
Average: 45.12

39.75, 56.67, 48.87, 45.58, 48.00, 41.05, 45.23, 41.76, 47.56, 52.16, 36.82, 41.28

Sneaklyfox looks like now I'm faster at 2 handed and your faster at OH. I'm going to start practicing OH more after I get my 50 mm zhanchi this week.

Congratulations to F perm who graduates this week!

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!)

You're welcome!

Round 124, speed 48.11

46.87, 40.57, 1:05.11, 55.66, 40.98, 45.06, 53.23, 38.29, 1:03.29, 38.02, 53.37, 36.84

I got some "new tech" for me to work. I figured out how to copy the scramble list into the "scramble queue" of Prisma Puzzle Timer. This way I only have to use a single screen and it fits in better with my usual way of practicing. Perhaps because of this, my average is better this week despite only having two solves worth of practice immediately beforehand instead of my usual 12 to 24.

For the record, this is the file you have to "import" into Prisma Puzzle Timer:

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

I.e., you just have to get rid of the numbering on the left.

There are a number of changes I'd like to make to Prisma Timer. If I weren't kinda busy, I'd download the java (which is my favorite language) and make the changes. In addition to ignoring naked numbers and periods in the input file, I'd also like the graphics to be turned on its side (with time going up the screen instead of left to right) as it would improve the information content of the graphics. And I'd like it to show my "best" as being the best overall instead of the "best this session". I like to know what I'm up against. Ah, what the heck. Just so long as my adviser doesn't find out about it...

Wrong round number, fixed.

And I modified Prisma timer so that it accepts a direct copy of the scrambles given here into its scramble queue. I also redid the "history" so it shows the minimum, maximum and mean for each time bin and swapped the axes so it reads easier. This is a temporary test, there's a bunch of other mods I want to make, but if you want to test it, here it is: http://brannenworks.com/Gravity/CarlPT.jar
