Round 10, race to sub 15

16.59, 16.74, (12.27), 17.04, (18.82) = 16.79. Great average for not having done 3x3 speedsolves in 4 days... first two were NEO OLLs!
18.70, (16.44), 17.24, 19.49, (19.73) = 18.48. Still a nice average for how distracted I was. My cats decided to start annoying me now.
17.81, (15.65), 16.80, 16.30, (19.47) = 16.97. What the ****. >__>
18.88, 17.91, (18.94), (16.61), 17.01 = 17.93. Nice.
18.86, 17.07, 19.27, (19.35), (15.94) = 18.40. Finally normal.

(16.79), (18.48), 16.97, 17.93, 18.40 = 17.77

Result: 20.07

(21.38), 16.08, 20.18, (14.93), 19.43 = 18.56. good average for me
20.59, (19.21), 19.48, 21.26, (21.75) = 20.45. somewhat good solves
18.90, 18.41, 23.44, (23.61), (17.85) = 20.25. ok, few good solves few bad.
(19.83), (19.02), 19.73, 19.24, 19.58 = 19.52. ummm...that average speaks for itself.
(18.99), 22.02, 21.09, 19.83, (22.04) = 20.98. cube was locking up mad hard.

(18.56), 20.45, 20.25, 19.52, (20.98) = 20.07

I wanna join. Lemme get this right.
Do an Ao5 . 5 times? then find the mean?

Close. This time around it's doing 5 Ao5s and then averaging those averages, not finding the mean. So a 3 of 5 average of averages. O.o

Previously we did 3 average of 12 and found the mean of those averages. I'm not really sure why emolover changed it.

 

[emolover]

I'm not really sure why emolover changed it.

Because I felt like it.

What...average is 1+2+3=6 / 3 = 2. Am i right?

 

[Jaycee]

What...average is 1+2+3=6 / 3 = 2. Am i right?

Mathematically, that's both an average and a mean (they're the same thing). But for cubes it's like :

(16.79), (18.48), 16.97, 17.93, 18.40

What's really being done when finding an average is 16.97 + 17.93 + 18.40 (omitting best and worst times) = 17.77

I thought you knew this already. Sorry if I'm overexplaining or not being clear enough.

 

[PandaCuber]

Then this process it done 5 times?

 

[emolover]

You do 5 solves for an average which in the cubing world is taking out your best and worst solve then averaging the remaining 3 together. Do that for 5 averages and take the best and worst average out then average the remaining together.

First average: 13.30
13.53, 13.61, 12.76, 10.56, 15.12

Second average: 11.82
11.34, 11.97, 17.43, 11.74, 11.75

Third average: 11.87
12.62, 12.86, 13.78, 13.14, 12.61

Forth average: 13.05
12.64, 17.82, 14.57, 11.94, 11.72

Fifth average: 12.20
12.91, 12.08, 11.62, 8.52, 14.53
After the cross on the 8 there were two free pair, I got and OLL skip and an H perm.

Overall average: 12.37

Much better then I thought it would have been because I could not seem to get warmed up before doing this.

Average 4: (14.80)
14.98, (16.92), (13.02), 15.38, 14.03
Only my third sub-15 average of 5 ever, but it felt pretty normal.

Average 5: 16.43
(15.55), (26.09), 17.70, 15.90, 15.69


Lots of consistency between the averages, but none of the individual averages seemed to be very consistent (i.e. σ>1). I'm still hunting for those consistent 15-second averages.

I didn't feel like listing out the entire solves, but this was a pretty cruddy average. I am doing the 10,000 solves in a month things and this was done after like 300 solves and I was pretty cubed out.
