3x3x3 mean of 25 yesterday: 23.76
3x3x3 mean of 25 today: 23.63
I'm pretty sure they're my best means of 25 ever. What I'm doing now is just trying to solve as fast as possible, instead of going slow and looking ahead. For years now, I've always tried to "go slow and look ahead", and lately I've suspected that maybe the problem is I took that phrase too much to heart. Now I'm discovering that if I just go as fast as I possibly can, I almost always get better times. I still try to look ahead, but my focus is on moving fast, not on looking ahead. And it really seems to help. I think you have to get used to actually moving fast enough first so that going slow and looking ahead can help later. It seems like "go slow and look ahead" is something you should do sometimes, not always - otherwise you never learn to move fast enough for it to help.
