FIRST Sub-20!

Hey everyone!

I just want to say that this is the first time i have ever gotten a sub-20...

the time was 19.21 sec!

I accidently quited the scrambler, and i lost the scramble...

I am so happy that i have progressed.
 
Seems like its been a while since I've accomplished anything. But here it is:

(9:10:41 PM) micro501: DavidWoner's 12 Individual Times: 8.547, 9.078, 8.562, 8.328, 9.005, 8.579, (6.953), 8.5, (9.156), 8.86, 9.011, 8.266
(9:10:42 PM) micro501: DavidWoner's Average: 8.66, Best Time: 6.95 Worst Time: 9.15

computer clock. this is UWR avg (pretty sure), I have no idea what single is.

(9:13:52 PM) micro501: DavidWoner's 12 Individual Times: 14.09, (11.05), 14.33, 13.46, 11.91, 13.88, 13.05, 12.02, 12.97, (15.07), 14.05, 13.27

Computer clock:

7.625, 7.938, 9.25, 7.328, 7.547, 8.063, 7.188, 8.125, 8.781, 8.244, 8.782, 8.175 = 8.06

I think this has the potential to be faster than real clock.

8.88 single with ZB. No I am not learning ZB, its just a case I knew.

Pah, no. I can't go to one of them anyway due to me not taking a language at GCSE. Even if I could, I wouldn't want to. It won't stop my school from pushing me to apply for the one I can apply for though :p

Out of interest, how did anyone else do in their A(S) exams?

Nice marks, Simon, I guess SQ-1 didn't distract you from revision too much:P
The one you could apply for is Cambridge I'm guessing?

My girlfriend did amazingly, straight A's and 100% overall in Theatre Studies.
I on the other hand didn't, they don't really deserve being put in the accomplishment thread ;)
But hey, I got 100% in 2 out of 3 General Studies A2 modules.

I'm sorry the first is a 17 move 2x2 scramble: I left the cube scrambled last night, then turned on CCT and timed it, without realising that CCT was on 2x2 mode (and I was messing around with the length of the scrambles to see how much it affected it).
It should be made clear that this is non rolling, and the first 12 solves of the day:D
9.17 was a PLL skip, 9.25 was non lucky (EOLL and T perm)

EDIT2: And I got post no. 5555 ;)

Not too shabby Rowan. You're way more consistent than me though.
 
Layer-by-layer is VERY fun!

14.88, (20.50), (14.50), 17.19, 15.83 --> 15.97 average of 5. Sub-16!

I used varying algs when inserting edges so that I'd end up with only OCLL most of the time. Is that
cheating?

Time to practice Triangular Francisco!
