Race to sub-25 (a.k.a. soft transistion between 30 and 20)

Schmidt · Apr 27, 2013

Welcome.

Rules:
Get 3 sub 25 ao12's in a row to graduate.

I'm thinking about giving scrambles twice a week (Monday and Thursday)

Happy cubing.

Schmidt : 24.19 (σ = 2.93) : Race to sub 25 : R#1

23.96, 25.74, 19.20, 29.41, 23.37, 23.76, 23.83, 17.80, 27.65, 21.12, 29.70, 23.86

Passed, but not proud of it

No sup-30's and counting sub-20

JF1zl3 · Apr 28, 2013

This sounds like a great idea to me, and I am leaving the sub-20 thread until I sub-25 here. Unless the common consensus among the community is that this is counter-productive for some reason, but I feel like going from sub-30 goal to sub-20 goal is too drastic a jump to make.

I will enter this at some point in the next couple days.

Me too! I will warm up later to day and put in my first entry. Also, Søren, could you give the numbers of the scrambles the next time. I usually do not import the scrambles into puzzle timer (some times just use my iPad with a timer). I just read them of the screen. Without the numbers I could do certain scrambles twice or not at all.

mark49152 · Apr 28, 2013

I agree that 30 to 20 is a big jump and it's taking me long enough to reach 30. I look forward to joining this thread!

Thanks for starting it.

MarcelP · Apr 28, 2013

Round 1

28.36 26.42 29.29 25.62 28.10 24.01 29.20 (30.04) 29.34 (23.92) 28.89 25.36 = 27.46 // Nice. Without warming up.. I just could not find the time to warm up.

Good stuff, this race gives me some renewed motivation!

jayefbe · Apr 28, 2013

Round 1

Average: 23.97
23.30 (28.08) 24.51 25.92 21.49 23.24 (20.91) 24.30 25.63 26.19 23.54 21.54

I'm also one of those that recently graduated from the sub-30 thread. Definitely nowhere near sub-20 yet, so this is a nice intermediate.

Since you're planning on biweekly scrambles, do you still want three consecutive sub-25 results? or 3 consecutive weeks of sub-25?

Edit: I personally like scrambles that aren't numbered because they're easier to import into prisma.

OH

31.99, 31.65, 20.61, 19.95, 26.99, 25.10, 26.35, 25.26, 24.71, 25.43, 26.96, 28.06 = 26.11

Schmidt, numbering the scrambles will be very helpful, thanks.

PianoCube · Apr 28, 2013

Round 1 ZZ
Average: 27.18

29.01 (21.60) 24.46 30.37 29.82 29.49 23.75 30.69 (30.69) 23.02 25.60 25.59

I tried ZZ some months ago, but stopped shortly after graduating from the race to sub 30. Now I have an excuse to give it a second chance as sub 25 should be doable without taking forever

I have also decided to start learning some COLL, starting with the H cases. Learning algs is kinda fun, I just had to take a pause for few months after learning full OLL.

TP · Apr 28, 2013

Round 1
26.15, (20.80,) 25.98, 22.28, 25.78, 25.16, 23.51, 22.73, 24.75, 24.61, 24.29, (32.22) = 24.52

What to do, what to do?!? I like the un numbered version better, so I might make 2 spoilers for scrambles next time (1 with and 1 without numbers)

I was gonna suggest that. I think I'm gonna incorporate that into my comps as well lol

MarcelP · Apr 28, 2013

If it is too much hassle, you can leave the numbers out. No problem. I like this new race enough anyway!

kunparekh18 · Apr 28, 2013

Average of 12: 23.23

27.21 23.82 25.06 (15.70) 20.86 22.62 21.51 19.96 22.76 22.59 (27.75) 25.89

Best average of 5: 20.78
4-8 - (15.70) 20.86 (22.62) 21.51 19.96

Can't believe myself at all!! PB Single woohoo!! PLL Skip though

And PB avg5 as well! Got really nervous after that which made the average sup-23... Thank you Schmidt

sneaklyfox · Apr 29, 2013

Ooh, this is awesome. Thanks, Schmidt! Like some others, I'm leaving the sub-20 race until I graduate here. Sub-25 is a much more attainable goal which will motivate people more I think. If a goal is a little too far out of reach sometimes it gets demotivating (if there's such a word) or discouraging. Baby steps.

Round 1 (OH)
Average: 27.74
25.19, 29.53, 29.41, (20.70), 27.77, 26.13, 25.84, 27.31, 27.57, (30.44), 29.82, 28.79

Booh... only one sub-25 time.

It looked better when I wrote it. I will figure out a formatting system later.
