3x3

Average: 18.69
Standard Deviation: 1.47
Best Time: 16.62
Worst Time: 23.16
Individual Times:
17.48, 19.55, 18.18, 21.64, 16.63, 18.77, 19.47, 17.49, 20.27, 16.62, 23.16, 17.39

Best avg5 was 18.38. I was using a hybrid. DS Core and Edison cubies. For some reason, I can't tighten it. =/

Got a 45.87 4x4 time... with Yau's method (Not redux!) It was so easy/lucky... last cross piece paired, like 3 other edges paired during F2L, then LL was just PLL parity. Also had a nonlucky 52.97. This seems to be the first non-redux method I can get sub1 relatively consistently with.

EDIT: 49.07 which was I think nonlucky, also 58.00 avg12, will do better later ;-)

-micro501- rachmaninovian's 12 Individual Times: 1:05.02, 1:14.35, (1:02.11), 1:45.55, 1:25.34, 1:55.21, (2:11.23), 1:31.13, 1:33.56, 1:15.46, 1:13.91, 1:25.38
-micro501- rachmaninovian's Average: 1:26.49, Best Time: 1:02.11 Worst Time: 2:11.23

methods used: advanced fisher [R/L faces, centres, edges]; k4 (f2l version); sandwich; LBL; mizzle's roux-by-four; methode ofapel; eido's roux-by-four (or KBCM); per's cage; milan's method [centres, corners, comm edges]; reduction (with 1 pairing); pure centres last [CF, R/L layer edges, midges, last 6 centres]; yau with 1 pairing ('cos i fail at 2/3 pairings xD)

this is good fun.

EDIT: i cheated for the first solve but not solving FL entirely; solved it entirely now and I got a 1:07.16, which brings the average to 1:26.70.
so now I lost to qqwref by 0.40. grhhhhh

The 13.96 was an OLL skip. I am now unofficially sub-16.

I am now unofficially sub-16.

Not really... I think few people would consider you really sub-16 until you can do it in an average of 12. The first 5 solves of my 3x3 PB average made a 12.60 average of 5 but I'd definitely not say I am sub-13...

I would say global average...

You have to take at least one time in every time zone, and then average them together. Hence the "global".

I'm pretty sure nakajima has stopped cubing for good. His website has been taken down.

He's registered for some comp that hasn't been on yet. Maybe he's planning on quitting, or this is his last comp or something.

It's not fair to say, "He's been doing this WAY longer than me." Instead, you should compare how fast you are now, after 3 months, to how fast he was after 3 months.
He was already much much faster than you after 3 months.
Sorry.
Keep practicing though..
One day... maybe..
