2x2x2 Race Thread

Sorry about that, I didn't have Internet over most of the weekend, and I was buried in a mountain of homework anyway. Sorry if it seems like I'm making up excuses.

This post is reserved for results when I have time to get to them.

What method do you use?
Ortega method, only been 2x2x2 cubing for just over a month xD; will learn CLL once exams are over, I think.

Mean of averages: 9.64

1st average of 12: 9.38
10.34 9.90 11.92 10.02 9.49 (14.29) 6.60 9.48 11.22 (4.89) 7.46 7.37

2nd average of 12: 9.84
11.52 10.10 (7.49) 10.04 8.85 8.01 9.69 9.97 (12.91) 10.13 12.58 7.55

Best average of 12: 9.69
8.63 (20.86) 9.84 11.05 8.90 10.27 7.61 8.29 10.95 6.94 (6.87) 14.37

Actually sub-10, this time :) my PB ao12 is 8.28 so this is fairly average I guess! Still working on my lookahead (practising looking at only two faces for OLL and PBL), so this should continue to go down with experience, hopefully :) especially seeing as there a couple of gaffs in there (messed up the PBL in the 20.86, resolved)

Damnit I was hoping for sub 3!

2.61

2.94[Ortega], 1.20[CLL], 1.78[CLL], 3.57[Ortega], 3.06[Ortega], 3.22[Fridrich], 2.08[SS], 2.58[Guimond], 2.08[Guimond], 3.29[Ortega], 3.50[Fridrich], 1.58[CLL]

Amazing!!! PB!

I decided to document what method I use for every solve and I am surprised at how many I actually use.
Ortega: 4
CLL: 3
Fridrich: 2
Guimond: 2
SS: 1

Overall average was 2.96.

I need to work on consistency and choose a method to stick with since my times are all over the place. I average anywhere from high 2's to highish 3's.
