xD, I am new . I still can't believe how nervous I was.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Hehe, I decided against OH, my hands are too injury prone Plus I suck... badly. Well done on that average though.

Indeed, I suck so much at OH, I guess I better practice to be at least sub 30

 

[sneaklyfox]

Wow, I'm better at you in OH when your last Ao12 2H (10.01) was better than my single (10.05). But probably won't be long before you beat me at OH.

I think you have the record for this one I have small hands and get hand injury because of RSI :C

I bet they're not that bad, I was at 2 minutes the day before those times.

What's RSI? How small are your hands? Can't be THAT small. Use a 50mm Zhanchi. And if your times were 2 mins the day before, it seems like you can make rapid improvement. I started off with 2-min times too. I was terrible at OH until a few things "forced" me to practice it. One was brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush. It let me know when I've brushed for 2 mins so sometimes I could solve a cube OH before the time was up and sometimes I ran into difficult algs for LL which I would mess up. All it takes is practice.

 

[guinepigs rock]

When will 276 be up?

 

[ThomasJE]

What's RSI?

Repetitive Strain Injury. It often happens when you do something repeatedly for a long time (e.g. typing, moving a mouse, and cubing).

Oh... I wonder how many cubers have RSI? I don't think I have that...

 

[aznanimedude]

i don't really get RSI but my hands definately i feel something strange when i stop after a long day of cubing

Round 276
21.22
20.06, 23.47, 23.05, 21.09, 20.89, 21.64, 22.02, 19.08, (18.99), (24.60), 20.42, 20.50

Awesome for me, but I think it was partially because of easy scrambles. It felt like these should have easily been sub-20 for me, but I kept messing up.

Oh, and sorry for being late this round with the results and scrambles - I wasn't able to get to my spreadsheet to tabulate the results yesterday. I hope to close this round at the normal time on Monday, though, so this round will be shorter than usual.
