EDIT: somebody shoot me

i thought i saw somewhere that when you have 2 DNF's it makes the average a DNF because you get rid of the worst time (one of the DNF's), and what would you do with the other DNF?

 

[That70sShowDude]

Sq-1 single - 26.44

(4,5) (0,6) (6,0) (-2,5) (-3,3) (3,0) (-4,0) (0,3) (-2,3) (0,3) (-3,0) (3,0) (0,3) (4,0) (6,5) (0,5) (1,4)

Crushed my previous PB

So the average is DNF then. The average of the 48/50 is 41.64. What's your point mister?

4x4 improvement O_O
I've done a fair bit of 4x4 since I switched to Yau just under a week ago.

stats: (hide)
number of times: 12/12
best time: 1:15.93
worst time: 3:08.55

current avg5: 1:45.81 (σ = 3.93)
best avg5: 1:38.37 (σ = 4.46)

current avg12: 1:45.98 (σ = 8.44)
best avg12: 1:45.98 (σ = 8.44)

session avg: 1:45.98 (σ = 8.44)
session mean: 1:50.36

times (reset):
1:36.78, 3:08.55, 1:51.30, 1:56.25, 1:42.97, 1:41.91, 1:32.08, 1:15.93, 1:41.11, 1:45.59, 2:01.08, 1:50.72

So this is the first 4x4 a12 I've actually recorded I think, so PB!
The 1:15.93 was weird, it had 55 redux + cross so fast, but that would usually warrant a 1:35 with double parity. It just had fast f2l, and ll. My previous single pb (which I set yesterday) was 1:28, so it's a fair bit of improvement xD. The 1:15.93 had no parity though, so that saved some time. This average had a lot of parity I think.

(p), (o), (p), (op), (op), (p), (), (), (p), (o), (op), (op)
So only 2 solves without parity, 4 with double parity, and the rest with single parities D:
1:42.97 double parity

Anyway, improvement! I don't see myself beating that single in a while :s

1:07.17 4x4 with oll parity

PB by 6 seconds

 

[Carrot]

ehh... I slowturn pretty much xD
In inspection you should be able to see block, look at center orientations and trace the last piece to insert in spot...
try do that... and do not really care about inspection time, it'll dop very fast =)

WAT. You don't turn slow you liar. On irc, I remember you getting a 8ish tps on a 4! You turn crazy fast D:
Oh yeah, he's almost as good as me with Oka. I think I'm doing something wrong :/
I use a V then l4e with an alg btw. (Polish V)

Edit: And thanks for the tips at the bottom that weren't directed at me

LATE response ftw. =D

I do turn slow? O___o
beside when I see the whole solution in inspection due to some luckycase and 8 TPS is still PB by far...

Note: I didn't mean to help you ZB... because you are.. ehhmm.. not awake when I want to race you!!!

 

[bluecloe45]

[ben1996123]

[Weston]

1:16.39 breath hold

The trick is to slow down your heart rate.
I used to practice this in my biology class.

Ok, go do an average of 5, recreate the solves after you do them.
On your second point, COME TO AUSTRALIA! Then we can race in person. Much more fun

I used to practice this in my biology class.

Yeah I tried to, but my heart rate went from 72 (resting), down to about 60 :fp

Spoiler

random question: I can actually see my heart beating if I look at my chest when I hold my breath, is this normal/bad/something else

 

[pappas]

Got a load of sub 14 3x3 averages yesterday. Best was 13.27 of 12.
Also 3.65 2x2 avg of 12. Learning CLL.

Seeing your heart is perfectly normal if you are fairly thin.
3:40 breath hold on 5th attempt. First attempt was only 1:50, but if you wait a few minutes and then try again you'll gain time easily.

 

[Cool Frog]

Got this non lucky 19.94 solve. I average 31 ish ( Trying to become color neutral and now i can't solve on my normal cross and do good anymore haha)

Wow nice.
I remember you beating Faz by 0.01 at a meetup once in 2x2. 3.12/3.13 wasn't it? Anyway, awesome times. Hope you get consistently sub 14 soon How many OLLs do you have to go?

Spoiler

What is it with you and Luke being so fast with 2-look OLL and I'm like, 2 or 3 seconds behind on LL even with full LL :/

 

[Chapuunka]

Sub 20 average of 5 and 12 (19.65, 19.27).

 

[Robert-Y]

OH avg of 50: 21.81 (pb)
