NICE IMPROVEMENT! But...... this should have been in the accomplishment thread.

nah man, anything that's accomplishment to you, even if it was 1 hour, is worth posting in there. Besides, BLD has its own accomplishment thread.

Also, you will find that your times will go down REALLY quickly soon. My first day, I was at like 6 minutes, then after two hours i got down to 3. A few days later I was down to about 1:30. Just keep practicing, and you'll be sub-1 in no time! =)

Maybe a fastly progressing newb, but not noob. The difference is worth noting.

You got it completely wrong. Most accomplishments are not worth their own thread. Really awesome accomplishments (think WR) should have their own threads, otherwise better post in the accomplishment thread so we can more conveniently ignore it.
And seriously... are you going to create new threads announcing your future records 2:05, 2:01, 1:58, 1:51, etc etc etc? That's kinda not worth posting *at all*.
At the very least, include the result in the thread title so I can see right away that I'm not interested, without having to open the thread.
Maybe the beginner's section should have its own accomplishments thread...

i use fridrich... now i have about 28 second average....
EDIT: I used dan brown method until i got to 1:00. However, it was really hard to switch to fridrich so i ALWAYS recommend beginners away from dan brown.

This isnt noobie at all. Nothing is noobie about droping your times by about 10 seconds!

Um, how often do experts drop their records by that much?

Experts who haven't timed themselves since they got sub-30 but kept practicing

Just once so far on 5x5x5. From 1:58 to 1:48 (expert?)
But I also got a 16.69 as my first sub 20, dropping about 5 seconds (not an expert!)

i wouldnt say im an expert by any means, especially on the 4x4...
but just before the new year i was around 1:50-55 (and much worse under pressure). then only a few days later (the 4th or 5th), i picked up a 4x4, and got a new PB average of 1:38, with a single best of 1:29.
just now (10 or so days later), i got a PB average of 5 of 1:28.65, and a couple of days ago got a 1:12 (around that, anyway) single.
so yeah, not an expert, but not a 'noob'. and arnaud, i would say that sub 1:50 on 5x5 is definitely expert
anyway, stefan would be pretty much right if he had said 'times' not 'records'

The scramble clearly shows it's 3x3, not 5x5 or 4x4.

I got a drop from 43.xx to 31.xx. Needless to say the 31.xx was really lucky and remained my PB for a long time (until I got another big drop to 24:53).
(OK, I'm slightly cheating, I'm not taking into account the 37-38ish time which was my PB in the 80s.)
