[Video] QJ Timer review (many tests)

Great job Stefan! This definitely helps. Also, I really enjoy the humor! Well done.

I wish every review was as thorough, well-rehearsed, and thought out as this. Thanks.

One thing I've noticed is that, when Stefan does something, he does it well.

This would make me want to get one, if it wasn't for the fact that they can't be used in competitions. I'll probably just end up getting a Stactmat sometime soon.
 
After you've seen the whole very good rewiev, rewind to 2:50.

What the f*ck?

I don't know why the gapes are there, but they really shouldn't! I'm not sure, but if that "thing" is on every stackmat, it's very bad! I'll probably give it a try, and I'll edit this post.

I see a pattern in those gaps (and I hope everyone should)

if the time is n, then if (100n + 1) is divisible by 3, there is a gap.

I'll assume that the gaps extrapolate. However, the Magic single WR is 0.77. 100*0.77 + 1 = 78, which is divisible by 3. The same applies to the Megaminx single WR.

I can't get the times in the gaps on my Stackmat either, so the only conclusion I can get is that the gaps are only (roughly) in the range Stefan showed (or that both of our timers are crap)
 
Excellent review. The only thing about this that would make me think that replacing the stackmats with this isn't the best idea is the full second start time (as opposed to a half second.) I've seen and judged too many people who don't wait for the green light at .5 to think a full second is a good idea.

Okey, the problem seemed to be known earlier, but I didn't know that, so I started a new thread about it:
