[Unofficial] 1.53 2x2 average of 5 and 1.80 average of 12

[RCTACameron]

(0.93), 1.58, (2.28), 1.80, 1.22 = 1.53 (PB)
(0.93), 1.58, 2.28, 1.80, 1.22, 1.75, 1.96, 1.91, 1.84, 1.71, 1.90, (2.47) = 1.80 (equal PB)

Cube: WitTwo
Method: EG

The 1.84 was a massive 3 move solve fail. If it was sub-0.93, this would be a 1.70 equal UWR average of 12. It's good to finally beat my average of 5 PB though.

Thanks to NSKuber for #7.

Can anyone help me reconstruct the 7th solve? I don't seem to be able to. I think I scrambled wrong and did U' instead of U on the last move of the scramble.

Looks like the 1.53 average is DNF, there are 2 DNFs in it... (you overinspected 3rd and 4th solves)

 

[balloon6610]

massive fail at 1.84 3 move solve. But nice average though

 

[Robert-Y]

On the 11th and 12th solves you took around 23 seconds and 35 seconds of inspection respectively for those solves

Still nice average though. I don't know how predict LLs quickly enough in solves, but I guess I just need to practise more like you and Chris

 

[Ickenicke]

Nice solves, but I think Milan is right. 2 overinspections.

edit: no, it's more than 2 overinspections in there.

I agree, I don't want there to be argument over this again. If you are strict about following WCA rules at home, then yes, this was a DNF average. The point of this thread is that I can do a 1.53 average of 5 and a 1.80 average of 12, if I am allowed >15s inspection. As far as I know, the only way to use the WCA inspection timer on PPT with stackmat is to hold both hands on the timer while you inspect, so it is impractical for me to use that. If you only want to see solves that follow WCA regulations, I will probably have a competition in September.

 

[Sebastien]

Nice too see that I'm not the only one who uses to do awkward hand stretching while cubing

While solves 3 and 4 are inly slightly inspected too long, solve 12 has 36!! seconds of preinspection

Well, I don't care too much for preinspection at home as well, as I think it is one goal of practise to fit all this taking you longer as 15 seconds to preinspect into those 15 seconds of preinspection.

What actually annoys me is your way to stop the timer. All of these solves are on the limit for a +2 (and some of them surely are). For your own interest you should probably practise to stop in a clearer manner, making it obvious that you have released the cube already when you stop the timer.

 

[Ickenicke]

I don't care if you count this as your PB. But if it should have been better than the UWR, would you count it then?

I honestly don't think my timer stops are that bad. If we accept unofficial averages where people use keyboard to time and stop the timer while still holding the cube, how is this worse? In a WCA competition, they would be unacceptable, but at home I think they're fine.

Edit:

I don't care if you count this as your PB. But if it should have been better than the UWR, would you count it then?

Remember, I have another 1.80 average of 12. So if I count the average of 12 as a DNF because of the last 2 solves' overinspection, my PB is still 1.80. I still count the 1.53 as PB, because I didn't overinspect by that much. I wouldn't count the average of 12 as UWR if it was, but I might for the average of 5.

Edit: Besides, neither of the last 3 avg12 UWRs (1.77, 1.75 and 1.70) have been on video, and I honestly doubt they all stayed inside the inspection time.

 

[Sebastien]

So what do we learn from this? Never film 2x2x2 Solves!

In a WCA competition, they would be unacceptable

That's the only thing I'm refering to.For your home average this is fine enough, but it creates a bad attitude that you might persue in competition.

Okay, thanks for the reminder. I will try to do better timer stops, but I can't guarantee anything.

Most of the good 2x2ers can do 1.53 avg of 5 and 1.80 avg of 12 if they are allowed >15s inspection.
Btw i like your videos, and it is amazing how fast you can turn the 2x2.

 

[rowehessler]

congrats on the averages. Sucks about the 3 mover . Yeah we need to all calm down and just ignore the long inspection time, i mean, its not like its official or anything. chillax

 

[NSKuber]

Yeah, you did the 7th scramble wrong.
Scramble: 1.96 F2 U' F U' F R2 F R2 U2 R' U'
Reconstruction:
x' R' U' R2
F R U R' U' R U R' U' F' U
14 moves = 7.14 tps
Was funny to watch how you failed F' move at first
But why didn't you do x2 R' F U R' F U' R U R2 U? It's Anti-CLL with cancellations, and it's 4 moves shorter.
Added: Hm, reconstructing(watching video by frames) is so interesting

 

[god of rubic 2]

Wow, so few congratulations....

CONGRATS CAM

Hope to see you break your PBs at Aus nats

Thanks, and yeah I need to stop failing easy scrambles. I think people are overreacting about the inspection time in the average of 5, and I'll still count it as a PB, but the last 2 solves of the average of 12 did have kind of long inspection.

Yeah, you did the 7th scramble wrong.

Thanks, I'll add this to the post/video description. And I guess I just didn't notice that solution in inspection. I noticed it when trying to reconstruct though.

Wow, so few congratulations....

Lol you have said that before and I haven't got WR. We'll just see what happens.

It was lucky and unlucky at the same time..
