Race to sub x on a 4x4

My fastest solve was 17 seconds faster than my average while my slowest solve was only 10 seconds slower meaning that when you remove those two times it would make my average worse
Truncation means that a 1:02.457 becomes a 1:02.45 or something like that, you remove the smaller decimals instead of rounding to the nearest 10^nth of a second, that's why Feliks has a 4.73 and not a 4.74. What you're talking about is called a mean, for averages you remove best and worst and then take the average of those times. For a mean you keep all times and take the average of those times.

9: 01:00.07 x

With those times you should really switch to Yau/Hoya

Round 57a (Wuque, Yau)
Ao12: 54.15

54.29, 52.90, 55.25, 57.73, 52.24, 50.53, 51.84, (58.41), 58.39, 52.84, 55.55, (48.21)

The counting 58 and 57 really sucks, but it's pretty decent considering how much I screwed up.

57b
Ao12: 54.44

53.77, 57.66, 58.01, 53.27, 55.17, (1:01.45), 47.12, 53.63, 57.32, (45.65), 57.42, 50.99

I'm not normal when it comes to 4x4x4 though, I do not even know my colour scheme off by hear and just use an algorithm to correct centres during 3x3x3 if I get it wrong. I also solve cross on top when most people my speed have switched and I use the RBLU parity algorithm so I don't know whether I even do reduction well enough to learn you and I have a competition in two weeks so I would not like to switch before then

If you use a single cross color you learn the color scheme pretty fast. I don't really believe you need to reach a certain speed to switch to Yau or Hoya. I skipped using redux on 4x4 and went straight on to Yau , I was sub 2 on 5x5 so I had some big cube experience but I still think you should switch to Yau ASAP.

I'm colour neutral and pleased to be.
But I don't think I should switch yet as I have a competition soon. But after that maybe?
How big a difference does permuting 3 cross edges during reduction really make?

Color neutrality isn't beneficial on 4x4, I know Jayden switched from CN to 1 or 2 cross colors and it improved his times quite a bit. Yau is a lot more than just the 3 dedges, it gives you way easier edge paring and 3x3 as well as making lookahead easier for all steps.

What is the difference between 57a and 57b?
Anyway:
Sub-2:00, I guess. I am not too sure how good I am I just want to improve. Reduction to CFOP with some COLL
2:08.766, 2:14.845, 1:49.086, 2:31.243, 2:14.243= 2:12.618

It's been a while since I've done this. I think I was at 0/3 racing to sub-1:45, so I'll start there:

Round 57a
Ao12 : 1:44.25 1/3
1. 1:54.66
2. 1:33.81
3. 1:45.46
4. 1:38.25
5. 1:34.28
6. 1:54.58
7. 2:01.25
8. 1:32.89
9. (2:08.73)
10. 1:45.45
11. 1:41.77
12. (1:27.34) - Easily the fastest double parity solve I've done.

Round 57b
Ao12: 1:49.38 0/3
1. (2:31.55)
2. 1:43.87
3. 1:47.26
4. 2:18.44
5. 2:08.15
6. 1:47.54
7. 1:48.17
8. 1:35.81
9. (1:32.50)
10. 1:48.60
11. 1:35.34
12. 1:40.53
Ouch. That brings my rolling Ao50 to 1:43.75.

If nobody else posts scrambles by the next time I want to practice 4x4 I'll post them.

2: 01:21.35 x
1: 01:13.27

average: 01:07.43

decent average, at first it looked as though it was going to be horrendous then the maru started to break in properly (though I doubt that made that big a difference)
