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

Pfffffff ! I am being extremely busy with school this year (and all the other stuff I'm doing ^^), it's gonna be haaard to keep on practicing regularly, but I'll do my best !

So ROUND 41 = 1:08.91
58.08 1:10.66 1:14.25 1:09.09 1:09.13 1:10.15 1:22.77 1:06.97 1:05.91 1:01.77 1:07.86 1:13.36

The good news is that even though I didn't practice much at all this past week, I still improved :-)
 
It was indeed your second average under 1 minute. You had an average of 58.73 in round 35, but in round 36 you were very unlucky to get 1:00.47. The mention of how many sub goal within the results is concurrent to gauge when you will graduate and the newer thread rules are concurrent sub goal averages with no sup-goal results in between. Hope this clarifies.

Ahhh I see. Sorry, some race threads are concurrent to graduate and some are not. I should have checked.

Heh, no problem what so ever and no need to apologise :) The thread used to be non concurrent averages but after I took over I revised the rules and decided to use the rules used by Mike in the Sub-20 3x3 race thread. That second average of your was soo close though! ;)


Ok, I'm pretty confused by this format, but I enjoy solving 4x4 and am aiming for sub-2 minutes, so I'll just keep solving and try to figure out the deals with graduations, back-dating solves, and why standard deviation is interesting later.

I changed to multiple goal bands from the original race to sub 1 minute to open up participation to a wider audience but it does have a side effect of making the rules more complicated. However as you say just keep solving and posting times I will automatically band you and announce as you graduate each band and you can then just be racing to the next band. Don't worry about posting standard deviation, its very much optional, sometimes I wish I didn't post it as it can show how inconsistent I can be :) As for back filing. Well if you miss a round and you do it later I will try and edit that weeks results. Hope that helps and welcome :)

It IS sub-1:10 ! Hahaha ! :p
 
This is for sub-1m now.
It's hilarious how I actually got above 1:30 this time.

Seriously, I think 8 or 9 of those were double parity.
That much parity should be illegal.

I thought I would join this thread. I was hoping to learn 4x4 properly.
In the 3:50 something went wrong in the edge pairing. It took some time to sort it out.
