big averages

scrambles are a pain in the but to do
That's because you suck at them. Scramble cubes more often :)


I did an average of 100 of 4x4 a while back... it took like 3 hours, and the average was about 1:02. I've also done average of 60 on computer 5x5, average of 40 on computer 6x6, that kind of thing... long sessions are fun, but I rarely set out to do them on purpose, I just keep solving until I'm bored and it just happens :P
 
When I take the time to do something like an average it usually takes about five solves for me to get warmed up and reach decent times, then I tend to get the best times after around 10-15 solves after that it is pretty much downhill
(uphill?). I don't practice much, but I do find that solving the cube once or twice a day actually improves my average a little bit every month.

yea but all the practice pays off
 
I've done an average of 100 megaminx with almost no pauses a few weeks ago when I was around 2 minutes average, I had a PB single and average of 12 =). I've also done an OH average of 100 and a few 3x3 averages of 100.

i cant stand doing averages OH, i suck so bad. and the average with magaminx sounds like a good idea
 
I can't understand how slow some people scramble. I once did a 2x2 average of 100 and it took around 40 minutes. The part that took the longest was inspection(11 seconds on average), then solving(9 seconds on average), then scrambling(7 seconds on average). For 3x3 my scrambling takes around 8 or 9 seconds and for 2x2 it takes 7 seconds.

yea some are slow but for cubes 5x5 and up are really long scrambles

With those figures, it should have taken 45 minutes.

Ha, sorry my bad, I meant to write 40. I'll fix that now.
 
3x3
Cubes Solved: 100/100
Number of Pops: 0
Average: 27.08
Standard Deviation: 2.95
Best Time: 18.20
Worst Time: 35.87

i was hoping for sub27, but i guess being off by .09 of a second isn't bad. new non-lucky pb single though! :)
 
ok I started it... 11 solves so far I'll edit this and post my results when I'm done...

Edit no. 1: Ok... 33 solves so far here's what I have:

Cubes Solved: 33/33
Number of Pops: 1
Average: 27.00
Standard Deviation: 2.99
Best Time: 21.27
Worst Time: 32.51

Pretty good I'll post again once I get 66... this is gonna be a LONG cube session... I've never gone this far... also my average is pretty decent! =D Maybe I'll get my first sub 20...

Edit no. 2:

Cubes Solved: 66/66
Number of Pops: 3
Average: 26.53
Standard Deviation: 2.95
Best Time: 20.01
Worst Time: 32.51

PB!!!!! SO CLOSE to my first sub 20... maybe once I get a lucky solve I'll get there... that 20 was an easy f2l but I locked up on the oll and pll... also sub 27... =) pretty good...

FINAL EDIT!!!!:


Cubes Solved: 100/100
Number of Pops: 4
Average: 26.44
Standard Deviation: 2.84
Best Time: 20.01
Worst Time: 32.51

I met my goal of sub 26.50! YAY!!! Wow... I think I'm done with 3x3 solves for today...

i know how you feel, i did an avg of 50 with the magminx and i dont even solve it much and i got sub 3 average
 
Wow I don't get how you guys improve your times doing averages of 100..my avg of 100 (well, maybe 50 or so..I never did finish 100 solves everytime) is usually not that good, considering I'm inconsistent and I get really bad solves that spoil everything..
