4x4 Race Thread (45s/1m/1m30s/2m)

Average: 1:36.56 Yau
1:30.82, 1:36.41, 1:34.39, 1:37.99, 1:41.64, 1:26.93, 1:41.48, 1:39.46, 1:39.65, 1:36.86, DNF, 1:26.34

Normally I average 1:25 but I am trying Yau. I have been practicing for 12 solves now.
 
I find it pretty obvious that its much superior to regular 2pairing. Your times will drop. Give it time, my biggest problem, was and is, the cross pieces, i'm lolslow on them

It's the last four centers and the least cross piece that kill me. But before this I didnt even pair up two at a time I just got two edge pieces together and put them aside and went on. This method is much more enjoyable verses strait up reduction.
 
i'm using the re-retooled rubik's cube

2:50.65, 2:46.20, 1:59.99, 1:59.03, 1:54.65, 2:45.22, 1:44.60, 1:42,00, 1:12.35, (1:05.99), 1:30.12, 1:40.32

ave how to compute?

Wait! What? How did you get a 2:50 at first then you got a 1:05? I have heard of getting better thoughout the average, but not like this!
 
Arnaud van Galen, Round 18: 1:14.00
1:10.68 1:22.86 1:15.68 1:06.59 1:08.03 1:18.21 1:17.75 1:13.83 1:29.94 1:10.84 1:15.52 1:01.28
Comment: Too much variation for this average to be really good. Best Average 3/5: 1:11.46 (1:10.68 1:22.86 1:15.68 1:06.59 1:08.03)

to "compute" an average of 12 you add up all the times, remove the best and worst and then divide by 10

at my 2 min time i can't see the colors i twisted it's like i searching for them, 1:05 is just lucky i honestly not kidding with that time what will i get if i do it?? just like my 3x3 i sub 28, but my best is 15 sec

try to buy a re-retooled 4x4 Rubik's cube and you'll see what i mean :)

I agree that this average looks really crazy and don't understand how that has anything to do with the "retooled 4x4 Rubik's cube", no matter what that is. Getting lucky on 3x3x3 means you skip 1 or 2 steps and that will save you a few seconds per step. Getting lucky on 4x4x4 results in saving a few seconds as well, not a minute. Doing a 1:05 and a 1:12 but also doing 3 times above 2:45??? Only if you had major major pops on those sup 2:45 solves. I don't know what you would get from making these times up, but something really isn't right here. Also, sometimes you write x:yy.zz and other times x:yy,zz which makes it look even weirder
