new PB for mo10 : 22.69, down from my previous 23.22 performed on May 15th. 17.55,23.28,23.22,25.41,26.36,23.73,21.71,21.81,20.95,22.93

First time in the 16s : June 13th. Number of solves in the 16s since then : 3. My PB (single) already moved from 16.41 to 16.18. And I thought that would stay an outlier for a while !

For me it's quite the opposite : I'm never that nervous in front of people who can't even solve a cube. At comp though, I'm surrounded by experts so it's intimidating.

Impressive new PB single today : 16.41 s, down from last week's 17.57 s (which was barely down from my mid-April 17.69s). That's for the good news. Bad news : I went to my second comp 2-3 weeks ago and again performed like s**t : 31s Ao5 with a PB of 26s. On my 5th solve, I managed to execute a...

Two new PBs during the very same session tonight : mo10 at 23.22 (down from 23.64) mo5 at 21.66 (down from 22.10 !!) Oh and the Ao5 is exactly the same at 21.66 while the Ao12 is 23.14

I've been cubing for exactly a year. The first time I solved a cube with no help/notes was on April 30th last year. And look at this progress graph (pink = best single of the day, blue = best mo10+ of the day) :

Yet another PB ! Can't beleive this : I broke my mo10 = 24.13 s by half a second, down to 23.64 ! Here it is : 25.22 21.26 25.59 25.61 26.15 (worse) 23.98 22.64 22.10 23.12 20.68 (best)

To be exact, I record my best mo10+ of the day. Sometimes it's an mo10 but other times it's an mo14 or whatever was lower than each of the mo10 therein. I know it's different than the other cubers, but having started my records that way, I want to keep it comparable to my previous records...

Amazing cubing evening today ! New PB for mo5 : 22.12 sec (previous was 23.46 so this is a huge drop) I did two sub-19 singles : one at 17.83 and one at 18.12, which are, respectively, my 2nd and 4th best singles ever. This is amazing because my 17.69 PB is only 2 weeks old. ...meaning that...

You need to keep all your solves in the same session ? I tend to delete them after each session (and store my best single and my best mo10 of the day in an Excel file). I know for the cross. As I said, I started trying to solve with cross on bottom whenever I see it as an easy cross. I don't...

Very good point, thanks. But still, if PBs don't go down, averages will eventually stall. That was my point. I must say I did NOT learn anything new since january, when I finished learning full PLL. I might have learned one or two OLLs (I know 12 of them only) and I try to do the cross on the...

At last, I have a new PB (single) : 17.69 sec ! That's a 0,42s improvement over my previous record, which was almost 5 months old. However, even though my PB doesn't seem to go down, my mo10 constently goes down. I dropped by 2+ seconds since the beggining of 2017. My PB for a mo10 is now 24.52...

So each time on of you guys quotes an Ao12 is in fact an "Average of the 10/12 remaining when first and last are removed" ? I'll start calling them "means" then. I know people usually quote Ao12's but I started measuring my progress using Ao10's so for the sake of self comparison I'm keeping...

Good point. I definitly don't handle the pressure of an experienced public very well. I should practice in front of cubers, not just in front of people who would find it impressive to see anyone "finish" a cube. I would say that I am in my zone around midnight. That's the time I acheived each...

Hey guys I said the above only a few days ago. Guess what ? I didn't do 25. I just did a 24.73s Ao10 ! It feels amazing ! Look at those times : 23.17 26.99 26.58 26.23 23.77 25.86 23.88 23.81 20.28 26.72 Usually, I would get one or two 30+ that would screw up my average. And I would tend to...

On the positive side : new PB today, Ao10 = 26.01 sec, down from 26.17 sec. 25, here I come !

I can't beleive this happened. I was impossible to miss : probably the most nervous guy in town. Both my hands were shaking during each and every solve. I was in 3x3 group 6. Let's repair that : I'll add you on facebook and we can chat if you want. By your Ao5, I get that your name is Jérôme ...

It was nice meeting you too ! This was my first comp and I can't begin to say how bad it went. My Ao5 was 37 seconds : while I almost never get above 30 at home, all my solves were above 30 at the comp. I was very nervous but also was destabilized by a few small things. I'll know all of those...

Of course. Who knows, you could have been one of those few international, super-sponsered cubers ;-)
