I got my Meffert's 4x4 yesterday so I wanted to do an average of five with it. It's big for my hands so I'm thinking of cutting of the tiles and sticker it.

I just did an average of 50 and the average was 21.02. The best average of 5 was 18.82 which is my new PB, and the best average of 12 was 20.32, which wasn't that great.
I had one DNF. The best time was 13.xy. I pressed the wrong button so the timer didn't stop, but I put 99 behind it, so it'll be fair. Here is the list:

Oh dude, I did that average. I got two 15.95 averages of 12, in a row 0_o.

And here's why you should roll:
15.14, 15.39, 15.10, 17.73, (12.98), (18.10), 15.15, 16.82, 14.93, 16.35, 13.02, 15.12 => 15.48
Congrats, you are sub-15.5.

Okay fine then lol.....You've convinced me. Does this mean I can change my PR average to 15.48? And start counting rolling averages?

Edit: Yup. I did my first rolled session and it was so relaxed and fun. and I love the numbers I'm seeing.

best avg12: 16.01

best avg5: 14.98

Yay less stress and better times! Thanks qq.

FIRST EVER SUB 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

28.91. Haven't speedsolved or posted here since the fall semester began but did a reunion set of circa ~50 cubes...28.91 on a 25 move scramble!!!

I'M PUMPED!!!!
 
rachmaninovian had the idea to do an average of 12 on the 4x4 with 12 different methods, so we thought up a list of notcrap methods and here's my average:

(55.29), 1:03.14, 1:35.22, 1:33.09, 1:38.06, 1:59.16, 1:17.64, (2:43.25), 1:15.16, 1:36.65, 1:23.12, 1:01.76 => 1:26.30

The methods were
redux; K4 (F2L version); my columns; a columns first method (corner-edge-edge-corner columns, D center, F3L, ELL); sandwich; Per style cage (FL, F3L edges, LL edges, last 5 centers); centers last with edge pairing; milan's method (centers, corners, commutator edges); KBCM (aka Eidolon style roux-by-four); Mizzle style roux-by-four (1x3x4 blocks, CMLL, pair UL/UR insert, sandwich finish); Richard Meyer roux-redux (L/R centers, 1x3x4 block, rest of centers, pair edges, roux finish); Robert Yau's cross-reduction thing.
 
3x3:

Single: 6.59 lucky (forced pll skip)

Average of 5:
8.48, 9.41, (13.61), 11.13, (6.59) = 9.67

Average of 12:
(6.59), 11.02, 9.83, 10.42, 10.31, 10.28, (12.86), 10.16, 10.75, 9.48, 10.77, 9.95 = 10.30

No other lucky solves apart from the 6.

This was epic.

Richard Meyer roux-duction*

You also could have done Jai-style reduction, where you solve cross/f2l pieces as you pair them, that way f2l is halfway done by the time you finish reduction.

I hate you...xD
I am hoping to sub 2...both my columns are only sub 3 at the moment..
 
(1:20.90), 36.82, 30.55, 23.72, 19.54, 31.41, 17.70, 8.77, 23.43, 10.13, 14.20, 19.13, 7.63, 12.52, (6.00), 7.00, 13.94, 11.37, 10.36, 19.77

This was my progression of times for my first time trying square-1 cube shape without looking at the puzzle at any point. The 7.00 was fist-fist and the 6.00 was scallop-scallop, but most others were >3 twists.

Best average of 12: 11.51 :)

Is there any reasonable way to do this without pairing the edges one at a time?

There's also Masayuki Akimoto's method, that's fun to do :)

This is columns, D center, other centers, D edges, U edges, right? I had a hard time finding his actual site so I might have the wrong idea about it.
