Times: (3:18.01) (2:57.87) 2:59.16 3:06.91 3:11.38


Two sub-3 minute times! I'd be happier about this if I wasn't looking at Frank's average right now. <_<

 

[cubekid]

Name: Sapan Upadhyay
Average: 5:04.87
Individual Times: 5:10.93, 5:21.80, (6:10.29), (4:32.16), 4:41.87

Heh, not bad, considering that I started 5x5x5ing yesterday

And yea, Frank, your average is disgusting. No one should be that good

 

[Cubefactor]

NAME: Richard
TIMES: 3:04.56, (2:35.88), 2:45.40, (3:05.01), 2:57.95
AVG: 2:55.97

The 2:35.88 was exceptional for me since it was with parity. Other than that I'm not too happy with my times. :angry:

 

[FrankMorris]

Sorry guys.. It's how it's gotta be.

Average: 2:33.38
Times: 2:36.20, (2:20.59), 2:32.63, (2:46.14), 2:31.38

Not bad at all

 

[mmwfung]

Average: 2:28.20
Times: (2:18.00) 2:22.48 (2:34.88) 2:33.19 2:28.93

Timed with 'The ultimate Rubik's cube? timer version 2.1'. Normally I am much faster, but I don't have a good 5x5x5 cube at this moment. I have two eastheen 5x5x5 cubes: one is TOO loose (I used this cube) and the other is not loose enough for me.

[Erik]

Name: Erik
Average: 4:29.23
Times: 4:16.67, 4:39.06, (3:52.78), (5:18.69), 4:31.97

3:52.78 is my PB now

 

[CraigBouchard]

Name: Craig Bouchard
Average: 4:10.69
Times: 4:10.25, (4:33.76), 4:12.33, 4:09.48, (3:57.53)

That second solve sucked...it felt like over 10 minutes...wow...these times all suck for me...at least the 3 that counted were consistent

2) (3:03.04)
3) 3:40.50
4) (3:54.12)
5) 3:07.25


ouch, the moral of this story is don't stop in the middle and come back, just finish them all at once still a good average for me, but could have been great

 

[Joël]

Average: 3:01.38
Times: 3:01.26, 2:54.18, (3:30.22), 3:08.71, (2:27.84)
