"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

[Schmidt]

You do know PLL is the same for all puzzles from 3x3x3 and up.

You do know PLL is the same for all puzzles from 3x3x3 and up.

Yes, of course I know! I usually make mistakes when executing quite a few PLLs on big cubes so I just don't bother.

EDIT: Yup - just did a 4x4 solve and failed an R-Perm half way through!

EDIT2: Damn - now I've forgotten how to do this R-Perm on a 3x3 too - don't mess with my system!

:confused: Why not full PLL for big cubes?

Same reason I don't use full PLL for OH or feet -- if the execution doesn't flow easily then I often lose track mid algorithm.

Does your cube lock up?? IF you are allowed to cube in the sofa you could do something more useful than just R U R' U' *6 while watching TV. You could take your 4x4x4 and do an untimed PLL attack. If the F2L is undisturbed when you are finished, you have done something right. [Going to get my 4x4x4 to see if it can be done while reading other/s useful tips on speedsolving.com]

Round Ninety-Nine: Speed

Average: 29.11

29.42, 29.86, 27.54, (30.48), 28.43, 29.00, 30.19, 29.88, 30.42, (25.99), 27.14, 29.25

YAAAAAAAY!!! First sub-30 average!! I am so happy with this average, it was sooo much more consistent and I only got three times over 30 seconds, and none over 31 seconds, hopefully I can keep this up for another 2 weeks

 

[hcfong]

Round 99:
Average: 39.20

39.64 39.49 36.64 41.02 37.19 42.27 41.96 (30.97) (46.68) 41.27 35.73 36.83

Finally a sub-40 average!

can i give up and change solving method?

Round 99: 2H
Average: 28.04

29.38, (34.84), 26.30, 25.86, 27.50, 27.62, 28.88, 29.35, 28.44, (21.27), 24.13, 32.90

Yay, new full step PB.

 

[retep]

Round 99 (2h):
Average: 31.64 (σ = 3.36)
34.91, 32.91, 30.80, 28.87, 34.63, (38.84), 28.79, 28.02, 38.09, 28.86, 30.48, (27.74)

Well even though this time is worst than last time, I feel I improved, last time I got a few lucky solves lucky solves, this time I felt pretty consistent, no real lucky solves and actually 2 bad solves but still a pretty good average time. Btw, really like these things, nice way to see how much you improve week to week

 

[MichaelErskine]

Round Ninety-Nine

Average: 29.86

(36.50), 29.48+, 28.78, 29.05, 33.14, 28.30, 26.37, 30.14, 34.25, 28.52, (24.92), 30.60 = 29.86

I found this set so difficult: I tend to do this event here at my desk at work during the half-hour I have for lunch - this means I have no time for warm-up and to me that is a valid representation of my abilities (e.g. where you mention your speedcubing average to a random person and their immediate reaction is "Prove it! Right here, right now!"). I've been rather unwell this week as a result I've had insufficient sleep, and this combined with an unusually large amount of new information I've had to absorb in recent weeks as part of my job has resulted in quite a slowdown. I also didn't have time to cube at all yesterday (my spare minutes taken up finding the exploded pieces for my SS 6x6). These are just excuses though and I did complete a sub-30 on paper so it's a tick in a box although I'm not over the moon about it!

EDIT: just out of interest, my Standard Deviation is reported by CCT as 2.02 -- does that include the fastest and slowest values, leave them out, or does it not even matter?

I believe it excludes the best and worst times
