[RyanReese09]

Eric an I both tied someone. O_O.

 

[Evan Liu]

Eric an I both tied someone. O_O.

Look more carefully -
You were .10 off, and Eric was .20 off. Still close enough though

Regarding the results, why do they jump from #6 to #10?

 

[EricReese]

meh close enough. I don't see how i can possibly improve ;-; I'm learning 3-2-2-2-3 now. Think I can get it down as fast as my times now in time for a comp that is on the 23rd? Assuming I practice a lot.

 

[Cyrus C.]

Regarding the results, why do they jump from #6 to #10?

I was tired, . I just thought we got a lot more competitors, I'll fix it.

Comment: Keeping track of parities is useless...and I just can't put a finger on my results. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes consistent, sometimes great and horrible solves mixed....and not a lot of progress at all! Best Average 3/5: 1:17.46 (1:22.30 1:16.11 1:16.38 1:10.68 1:19.88)

[RyanReese09]

Pathetic ending. Could have been PB.

[EricReese]

I'm sorry I closed my sesion accidently :/ but it was 1:24.02 ao12

Back to learning Yau.

I'm sorry again for closing the tab :3

[Vinny]

I haven't been improving much at all at 4x4 lately. I'm gonna start learning Yau soon...
Yay for consistency (not)
Also, the 1:47 I messed up the centers during edge pairing and had to redo some edges, and the 1:29 was a pop with double parity.

James Ludlow : Round 8

1.13.58 1.09.20 (2.05.30) 1.06.12 1.16.66 1.10.23 1.22.93 1.08.84 (1.06.07) 1.11.84 1.14.94 1.12.49 = 1.12.68

Comment: - OP O - - P OP OP - - OP O. Nice on the parity front. Stupid pop on third (two centres and an internal piece) was on OLL alg at 54secs. I practically had to solve the cube again, as I lost myself in the alg.
@Arnaud - why am I so much slower than you on odd cubes, when I just edge you on the even ones?

 

[RyanReese09]

PB single/average.

1:08.56, 59.28, 1:04.29, 57.35, 1:09.60, 1:04.45, 1:06.23, 1:03.91, 48.29, 1:01.81, 57.85, 1:01.43 = 1:02.52

So close.

Edit-Rolled 1:08 with 1:02 giving me 1:01.88. Too bad that the 1:01 doesn't count for this race . Take the 1:02.52 average.
