Race to Sub-30 and Race to Sub 25

Round 135

Race to sub: 25
Method: ZZ
Cube: YueXiao

Ao12: 25.51

1. 24.23
2. 24.89
3. (29.37)
4. 26.59
5. 23.39
6. 24.84
7. 24.90
8. 23.68
9. 24.12
10. (17.85) ZZ PB :3
11. 29.07
12. 29.32

Really, really bad ending :/ almost there

Also, my name is not ZZ :p
 
I might aim for race to Sub 25 next, or come back doing race to Sub 30 with ZZ next. I guess I can't do both as they are the same scrambles.

Well I think you can use the same scrambles if you use different methods, I am using the same for roux and ZZ and because the first step is so different I see no advantage for using it twice.
 
Round: 135
Race to Sub-30
Cube: Mini Weilong
Method: OH ZZ
Average: 28.58

1. (42.31) Bad EO, forgot COLL, stalled for 3s, did wrong alg, and a G-perm
2. 27.05
3. 27.44
4. 35.53 Messed up an F2L pair
5. (20.34) EPLL skip
6. 27.88
7. 23.56 EPLL skip
8. 36.32 Messed up EO, took forever to fix
9. 25.47
10. 28.78
11. 25.73
12. 27.62 OLL skip, but N-perm

Dang! This was fast! It's a record ao12 in fact. I did a couple follow up solves to try and get a better one and managed to pull off a record 27.74.
Nothing to complain about except 1, 4 and 8.
 
@GenTheThief some people do two races in the same thread. Either use other scrambles, or by the time you do 12 solves using the same ones may not help you much. I don't know if it's here or race to sub 20 where someone was doing it now.
@Jason Green , I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but yeah, I know, I'm doing it for ZZ and CFOP in the Race-to-Sub-20. And I will be doing it soon for Roux (no I'm not trying to be method neutral) here, in Race-to-Sub-30,
 
Great to see someone return to cubing. But:

@evil_christ , I would highly suggest learning F2L intuitively (actually, I would suggest switching to ZZ or Roux), before I switched to zz, aside from watching a video on F2l to start my speed solving, I figured out F2L on my own. I think it gives you a better understanding of the cube and forces you to realize what is actually happening.
By know, I meant I can comfortably do 15 cases intuitively, for the rest, I haven't really put time into it, so I use the LBL algs for that. I did consider learning algs when I cubed earlier, never saw the usefulness of intuition - but for the past couple of days, I've looked more into it, and it really is useful, and I've been improving my f2l bits by bits. (My times are pathetic, with a breakdown of 3/4-16/17-4-4 in a 28 second solve).
But yeah, thanks a lot!
 
Well I think you can use the same scrambles if you use different methods, I am using the same for roux and ZZ and because the first step is so different I see no advantage for using it twice.
Ah, I can see now that you are doing just that. Good to know. Since I'd be doing both solves with white on the bottom, I suppose I could also do the same scrambles in different directions to make sure there are no similarities. Though ZZ and a cross first method should differ enough in any case.

JanW graduates sthis week in the race to sub 30! Congratulations to everyone who participated!

Well I think you can use the same scrambles if you use different methods

Yes you can use the scrambles provided for as many methods as you like. Only one method may count toward graduation, and that will be the first average you post each week.

EchecsRex please no profanity

Thanks Brian Kremer for the race. I will be moving on however to Sub-20. In the time I haven't been here i became sub-20 today.

Good Luck

Ouch, I'm late, I thought I had done it this week, hope this (with last week scrambles) still counts, it was a very good average for me.

Brian seems to forget this week's scrambles. I'm quite new on this forum, but as a hunter in the sub-30 race I can provide those scrambles. If everyone is OK with that.
