My website: Any suggestions?

About the contest.

First: >_>
Second: "2) POP's count as DNF's and will be counted as the slowest time in the Average of 5" -> ...you can't fix a pop?
Third: <_<

Also about the contest:

Do you know any good cubers that you could get to compete? The first time I won, I averaged like 17-18 and still won the competition.

Yeah, and I can't even see the past times. So I don't know how hard it is to win.

The third rule is funny. Just TRY to enforce that.

I would like people in this forum to compete

@qqwref: I am going to put the times of the people who competed soon.

Why would that competition be better for us to compete in than say, the two competitions in the Weekly Forum Competitions forum? Or even the Sunday contest in which you basically stole their name

 

[Rubikgenius]

I dunna know... You can compete if you feel like it

Answer A. You like winning. This competition is really easy to win. Pretty much if you're faster than me (since I've won the past two competitions) you can EASILY win. I don't think I'm going to compete this week though, not enough competition.

Answer B. This one is judged on Friday.

 

[Rubikgenius]

You are just better than the rest of the people who competed...

The closest guy to you had an average of 24 seconds

Rules:

1) Times must be entered in seconds:millisceonds( ex. 50.57)

Oh no, not this again.

 

[Rubikgenius]

oh my bad it is a typo

 

[Ellis]

oh my bad it is a typo

Yea, but I wasn't even referring to that specifically. Try again.

 

[Rubikgenius]

Isn't it seconds: milliseconds ?

 

[Ellis]

No, a hundreth of a second is not a millisecond.

 

[byu]

milliseconds are thousandths of a second

 

[Rubikgenius]

Ok, my bad. You know what I mean lol

You're the one that pissed off Tyson Mao

anyway the site isn't that bad. Fix grammar mistakes and your success profiles seem really odd.

Thats debatable <_<

I averaged like 17-18 and still won the competition.

Just curious... how is it that someone who has not achieved a sub 30 solve or a sub 35 average in competition is averaging 17-18 seconds?

won, I averaged like 17-18 and still won the competition.

Well... he started cubing around december, and he already has at least a few 4x4 BLD successes. byu is crazy like that.

I'm sorry, I don't want to turn this into a thread about this, so I'll just make this one post and then I'm done.

That was posted almost exactly 8 weeks after he got an official average of 36. Assuming being around 20 means below 25 (which I think is very generous), he had a total of three weeks to get from 35 to 25 and 20 to 17. I call shenanigans.

EDIT:

I was in that chat room in mid march. I wish I had chat logs, but he said he had not been practicing 3 speed, and his times had gone up a lot. IIRC, he said something like 50 seconds. This was a month before he claimed to be averaging 15.

Maybe he just gets nervous at comps. Have you seen any of his videos? I don't know if he has any speedsolving videos, but he does turn decently fast. Looks to me like he'd really be sub-20 with that speed.

Edit- besides, improvements like that aren't all that unbelievable. I just checked my sunday contest results from last year. On June 1st my average was 36.45, then on June 29th my average was 25.84... yea that's a little more than 3 weeks but I think those improvements are definitely doable.

Having been suspected of cheating a number of times, I'm sure that byu would have confessed if he was actually cheating. I believe him, and his abilites.

However, I would like to see an average of 5 or 12 on video. - sub 18 seconds.
