Hey thanks for pointing this out! There is indeed something I was wrong about: I truncated the cumulative distribution at the nearest thousandths, so any small distribution < 0.1% would be rounded to 0. That is, you are right in that there exist 10 movers, and it is also true that my program...

Yup you both have a point here. Starting from nothing to FB+DR might involve DR influencing that's beyond human comprehension. But solving DR with no influencing at all doesn't reflect reality either. Solution? I think another stats from FS to FB+DR might help here, it also closely mimics a Roux...

I realized the FB+1 stage in Roux, although parallel to XCross in difficulty, hasn't yet been studied carefully, so I programmed a solver to investigate its move count, along with some other interesting stats including FB square, LSE subsets and more! I have summarized my findings in this...

Sure if you practice, you will improve and approach your limit, and I believe the level of talent for speedcubing, if there exists such a thing, is distributed far more evenly among ordinary people than say sprinting, which is why this whole "practice makes world-class" thing makes some sense...

So 7.06 a12 (in bold), 7.49 a50, 7.64 a100. Breaking PBs a lot recently... I swear I'll never do this many solves again with homework due tomorrow...

So 8.00 a500. Gotten into the sub-8 club.. I guess?

7.15 ao12 PB & 6.59 ao5 PB. Got plenty of easy F2Ls. :D

7.88 a50 :D Largely inspired by Lucas' 7.13 vid.

6.39, 5.86, 7.05, 8.60, 7.62, 8.78, 8.33, 7.59, 7.98, 7.66, (9.26), (5.62) = 7.59 5.86 is PLL skip. Haven't had counting 5 in a while. :D

3x3:8.5 4x4:39 OH:15

Sub-5 3x3 single, not by Faz, probably a controlled OLL skip and then PLL skip. Sub-25 BLD mean by Kaijun Lin. 1.5x 2x2 avg by Rami Sbahi.

So um...does anyone think the How many cubers have already achieved sub10? thread needs a newer version? I mean the old thread is not maintained anymore, plus we got way too many sub-10 or sub-9 cubers nowadays. What about "how many cubers have achieved sub-7, 7.5, 8, respectively in a100?" This...

With which software do people generate 2x2 algorithms nowadays? The ancient webpage java solver seems a little out of date...

8.41, 7.44, 7.94, 7.85, 7.21, (9.29), 8.24, 8.10, (6.20), 7.30, 8.23, 7.20 = 7.79 PB average. 6.20 is OLL skip and lots of easy LLs. Getting better at seeing the first pair by optimizing cross based on ease of pair-tracking rather than finger-friendliness. Still I can't envision myself...

SYSU Open goals: 3x3: sub-9 avg OH: sub-16 avg Goals by the end of June: All PLLs sub-1. Average 8.5~. EDIT: SYSU: 3x3 8.43 avg. Sub-9 achieved. OH is off by .07 tho. :( As for the global average, I'm like 8.6~, so almost there. As for the PLLs, I still got like tons of them. (Z, Ra, 2 G...

8.35 a100. WAT. Had a few maru drops, TPS went up, got some decent singles, began to feel lucky on every solve, and there it was, PB by 0.3. Now I'm convinced that getting sub-7 NL singles is the sole reason for which I cube. ;) EDIT: 8.69 average of 468. Most solves in a day(night).

8.51 ao50 and 8.73 ao100. :D

8.23, 7.48, 8.56, 8.71, (9.56), 8.71, 7.76, 8.79, 8.22, 8.57, 8.96, (7.11) = 8.40 Got this right after 2 warmup solves. :D X-cross is really paying off. :)
