Round 121 24,55
24.11 24.68 (20.69) 21.88 29.95 21.27 (DNF) 30.19 24.73 23.92 22.49 22.33

First round for me and hope worse one. Yesterday, I got my first sub 20 average and today not a single sub 20 :'( DNF was a pop (corner+edge flying in the room), 29-30 were complete failures (in the middle of the f2l I realised that my cross wasn't finished ??!), ... And the worse part of it is that I was lucky. Twice a pair was already paired somehow, the 21.88 was a pll skip, some had easy cross... GRRRRRRRRR Positive point: I can only improve (let's hope)

Edit: I was so disappointed by the average this morning that I did it again now (of course does not count but just to give an idea) and I got 21.58 average. No DNF, worse time 27.40, one 18.xx and two 19.xx. So, really a bad average for me.

Well... here is my first venture into the sub-20 thread. I hadn't cubed much this past year until the last few weeks. I am trying to "get into shape" for nationals. I am back to about where I was before I started slacking... now, hopefully I can make some improvement.

Awesome average, crazy. The 16 was NL.

Gotta love that 52.14 - I messed up a G perm completely and had to start over. The 26.04 was another messed up PLL, but it didn't go quite as badly.

@Eric: No, it really shouldn't, if he really didn't use these scrambles. He also didn't say it was ZZOH (which I assume it probably was). It seems like Ryan needs to work a bit on rules-following. (I'm sure it must be a great pleasure to him to have a brother watching his every move here. )

18.43 21.46 19.97 19.08 (24.77) 22.08 20.06 18.03 20.81 20.94 18.33 (17.11)

How about that for close before the last solve i hadnt had a sub 20 average of 5 and i was guessing low 20 but that was good!

I don't know when I am going to stop choking on these averages. It has been probably at least a month of 20.xy averages. Too many nerves.

Consistent!!! All thanks to my new LingYun. Only 3 sub-20's though....

@tozies24 what a coincidence. (see my sig)

Average: 20.33 Getting so close to sub-20

Getting a lot more sub-20's, though this isn't a good example. Actually, there are no sub 20 avg's of 5 in this but still all are under 22 except for one so at least i'm getting lower SD!

Round 122
Cube: Dayan Guhong
Event: 3x3x3 Speedcubing; method: Roux

Average: 19.19 (σ = 1.46)
Individual Times:
19.42, 23.02, 19.52, 18.11, [14.66], 17.41, [24.08], 19.33, 19.62, 18.38, 18.94, 18.11

Hey, sub-20! Yay!

And I'm happy to say that the majority of my solves were sub-20 in that average as well, with only two being over 20. In the 24.08-second solve, I lost track of one of my pieces in the first block, resulting in a VERY slow first block. In the 23.02-second solve, I accidentally executed the wrong CMLL case, and then it ended up in a Sune orientation case afterwards, of which I only know 2LCMLL for. >.<
Also, my current (non-lucky) PB is 13.25 seconds, so it was quite pleasant to get a 14.66-second solve in that average.

Tell me about it.
