"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

I mean, doesn't 10 is enough? 12 is an odd number..

Should be, "Why is it average of 12? Isn't 10 enough?" Not sure if English is your native tongue or not.
Average of 12 is actually 10 of 12. You do 12 solves, but only the middle 10 count, because you may have a really bad solve, or really good solve, that shouldn't affect the average because it isn't actually what you average. And if you aren't going to count a bad solve, you shouldn't count a good solve. So it basically is an average of 10 anyway, but this is why it's 12 solves not 10.
 
As I am doing OH, I volunteer to take over once you have finished, as I will probably be here for a while. I'll do my results later.
I may hold you to that, but I don't expect to be done with this for awhile. I failed to mention in the initial post that the few sub-30 averages I have had were AO5. I am yet to have a sub-30 AO12, and I am progressing pretty slowly.

he you should post the scrambles in the first post just like in sub 20 thread
The 2nd post contains links that will take you straight to the scrambles for any round, including the current one. Granted, we are on the first round currently so it isn't very useful yet. When we get a few rounds into this, and there are a dozen pages of posts and such, that post will become much more useful.

On DNF, I fumbled the cube, and my other hand was already on the timer, I brushed the timer catching the cube and it stopped. Pretty good. I then had an absolutely awesome weekly comp average. I've done 102 solves yesterday, and 111 so far today (not averaged) and I'm slowly improving. I want sub 30 by the end of this year, which I think is a reasonable goal.


By the way... this was done OH.

Edit: also, yes, I am not normally this inconsistent.
 
OH:
Average: 37.45
Standard Deviation: 3.01
Best Time: 29.12
Worst Time: 45.36
(29.12), 38.61, 34.73, 38.91, 42.31, 40.31, 40.30, 33.27, 36.24, (45.36), 32.88, 36.97

that's a lot of 40s.

Two-Handed 3x3x3
Method: Fridrich F2L, 2-look OLL, Full PLL

1.) 30.14
2.)29.49
3.)27.15
4.)25.46
5.)29.14
6.)27.17
7.)27.93
8.)30.10
9.)30.53
10.)30.40
11.)29.11
12.)28.62

On an interesting sidenote: While warming up I got a PB - 19.95.
I used this Y.J 3x3x3 Cube. It's very lightweight, very fast and smooth. Pops often though if you aren't careful :\

In some cases I try to use partial edge-control though I really don't understand how that method works at all.
Sometimes I use X-cross when opportunity arises though I pretty much suck at it.

This was a pretty much a normal average for me. My best AVG of 12 is around 25 seconds so this average is pretty normal to me.

If thats normal for you, you should be in the race to sub-20, not sub 30

I don't care how you present your individual times when you post your results but please... PLEASE.... put your average at the beginning of your post as a "bold" "size 4" font. See the example post below to see how this works, if you don't already know.
Please put your average in size 4 bold font. This will save me a lot of effort when looking for everyone's times.


When are you going to post new scrambles??
Round One​
Potential Closing Time - May 30, 2010 || 12:00PM EST​

The new scrambles will be posted when I close this round and tally the results.

I can never seem to get going during OH. My times are always all over the place. I always get sub 20 f2l and it usually sub 15 I just can't get going for oll. pll is easy. I think I'm going to find some 2 gen algs for 2 look oll.
But basically I'm not too happy with these times. =/
