Yea, I did that a few months ago, way more pages now though.

Yup, not that hard really, I'm completely color neutral for Petrus, you just need to keep one or two things in mind whilst looking ahead. Start with the best 1x2x2 block, expand to the easiest corner+edge, and repeat with the middle edge on opposite side.
 
Got a clock yesterday and did 50 solves on it today...

Best solve: 19.18
Best ave5: 22.21
Best ave12: 23.85

I love this puzzle and I think this might be the NR I'm going for...

Pyra, doing well using sister's laptop again, which lags, and doesn't operate QQtimer well.

B' L U' L U' B' U' L l' b = 3.68 lagged to 3.75 nl.
L R' L B' L B R U' r u' = 2.04 lagged to 2.11 nl, well, sorta.
Had another low 3 but had unforced skip.

Anyway, take about 0.08 of all these solves.

stats: (hide)
number of times: 33/34
best time: 2.11
worst time: 12.30

current avg5: 5.45 (σ = 1.89)
best avg5: 5.45 (σ = 1.89)

current avg12: 6.77 (σ = 2.40)
best avg12: 6.77 (σ = 2.40)

session avg: 8.34 (σ = 2.44)
session mean: 8.15

7.17, 11.33, 10.72, 8.52, 6.08, 7.13, 11.72, 7.75, 11.39, 10.47, 9.75, 11.50, 6.52, 9.23, 10.28, 6.50, 9.38, 4.83, 7.36, DNF(12.86), 8.53, 12.30, 4.61, 3.36, 6.72, 9.06, 10.81, 8.19, 9.11, 10.31, 4.52, 8.08, 3.75, 2.11
this is just so far.

2 sets of polsh v really helps my times :p

Faz, I think I've just about caught you. Oh, did I mention this average is still going.

Edit: next solve was 3.01 lagged to 3.08, which currently is giving me the sub wr average. I feel special.
U B' U B R' U' R l u

Edit 2: next 2 solves were sup 10 :( but then a little later, I got this R U R' U' L' B U' l r b which had 4.07 to 4.13

Edit 3: A little while later, U L' B L' U L' R' B L l' b u' 3.xy, where were good scrambles in Melbourne. The only good scramble, I had my pyra scrambled wrong. I only figured this out after all my solves when I was redoing the scrambles. And I missed the good cross one group had.

Edit 4:
times (reset):
7.17, 11.33, 10.72, 8.52, 6.08, 7.13, 11.72, 7.75, 11.39, 10.47, 9.75, 11.50, 6.52, 9.23, 10.28, 6.50, 9.38, 4.83, 7.36, DNF(12.86), 8.53, 12.30, 4.61, 3.36, 6.72, 9.06, 10.81, 8.19, 9.11, 10.31, 4.52, 8.08, 3.75, 2.11, 3.08, 10.20, 13.39, 8.69, 4.13, 10.28, 9.72, 11.55, 3.86, 17.28

New PB Pyraminx avg of 5: 6.04

5.61, 5.77, (4.50), (10.44), 6.75 = 6.04

Almost sub 6. Hopefully I can get an official avg like this on Saturday.
 
By the way, guys - at least on my computer, the "lag" you see on qqtimer is a result of the timer not updating exactly every hundredth of a second, and doesn't actually affect your time. The time is stopped (in the code) before the scramble is generated, but when a calculation is going on javascript tends not to update the timer until it's done, which is why it looks laggy. It's kinda a similar situation to how the stackmat display keeps going for a little bit after the timer itself is stopped - it seems like lag that is affecting the time, but it's just that the actual time is taking a bit longer to be displayed.

(How did I test this? By just hitting the space key as quickly as I could twice, using only one finger. My times for that are pretty consistently around 0.06, so if there was a lag of even 0.02s I'd be able to tell. Comparing 3x3x3 to 2x2x2 scrambles, I got pretty much the same times, but when doing 2x2x2 it looked like it lagged from 0.02 to 0.06. Clearly the 0.06 was the real time and not the 0.02.)

Thanks for this info, but why does the lag vary?
Anyway, there's a few more bugs, USB copied qqtimer doesn't save scrambles, except for the last scramble. It also doesn't work out a12+ It works out a5, but not more. Is there an explanation for this?
This is the lag I'm experiencing (faz's 2x2 average), except mine can lag like, 0.1+
 
The lag varies because the time stops before the scramble is computed, and then that time is displayed after. The amount of time skipped is pretty much random, but the amount of time it takes to skip depends on how much time it takes for your computer to get the scramble.

About the bugs, I have no idea - I'd need a more detailed explanation to be able to figure out what's going on.

This might be of a little interest to you, don't know why, but on my computer if I tap my keyboard fast enough I get 0.00.
