I lol'd.
Which would be a greater accomplisment?

It was pretty fun to write too :p

Out of all the things I mentioned, the biggest accomplishment would be getting a life because I'm going to graduate and go to university unless I **** up really badly. Sub 7.37 official average would be cool too, but I would be salty that it's not sub lucas

I thought you meant global improvement XD
Also you can do it, show em Roux is kewl

I did...

Roux is keel and I never said I couldn't do it, it's just hard.

Sorry for double post, but many people, ( including me) have PBs that they feel could be MUCH better, but aren't because they messed up on something easy/simple. That is why a 'decent' time could be a PB, but not good.

Perhaps so, but consider this: if your PB is not considered great, you obviously think you're better than you actually are. If your PB ao12 is 12.xx, you aren't sub-12, you just expect/want to be.

That's definitely not always true, for example, my PB 3x3 single is 9.3, but I have almost 20 sub 10's already. So if I get something like a 9.4, I definitely wouldn't consider it great, because I already have several solves of around that time.

I had a not-pb-but-unusually-good 3x3x3 average for me today.

Session Average: 13.61
σ: 1.84
Best Time: 9.04
Worst Time: 16.31
Individual Times:
12.18, (9.04), 13.51, 13.75, 13.48, 12.61, 14.64, 13.64, 14.78, 13.81, (16.31), 13.74

I was trying to only turn as fast as I could "easily" look ahead, and vary my pace at all times throughout the solve to stay at the top of my "look ahead is still easy" zone. It worked! :D

So I am actually sub 15 after all

Congrats! But was it really necessary to put the whole 1000 scrambles in the post? Even though you use a spoiler my browser has to download it all :)
Just kidding, not really pissed off or anything, and I hope I'm not pissing you off by mentioning this. Maybe somebody wants to try those 1000 scrambles to see how they do with them :)

Maybe reconstructions for the best solves of the Ao1000 would be more interesting for everyone, though.

Thanks! I can't reconstruct any solves though :p
