Rowan will get NR. I still haven't had a sub-20 avg of 5 :p What do you average now anyway?

I think low 22s atm. I'm taking an avg of 100 right now, thanks to you :p

Gave up at around solve 70 something. The average was 24.xy. It was getting worse. My best average of 12 was only 23.xy in that session :/

Bad day...

Mmm I'm not so sure about getting the NR, I seem to underperform quite badly in OH in competition...
I think I can get a 22-23s average though next competition... we'll see.
 
I think this is the first AO12 I've done in over a month:

Got my first sub-20 a5 on Square-1 yesterday: 20.67 18.64 (25.68) (17.26) 19.68 = 19.66
And another one today: 18.35 18.44 (14.57) (28.75) 21.49 = 19.43
The scrambles were nice though, but all of them except the 14.xx were full-step.
 
When I first started cubing, I remember saying that my goal was to just get an average below 20 seconds. Also remember saying how my dream (knew it couldn't happen) would be a 13.xx average or lower. I wanted this because whenever I saw sub 14 averages on youtube, I thought they were so fast. I forget if I was talking avg5 or avg12, but ....

Both are done w/ stackmat.
Both are PB's.

solves 5-9 are a 5.23 average of 5 also a pb.

I couldn't retrieve the scrambles because qq timer bugs out on my computer, but they were pretty easy.

If you can get 6.21 a12, surely you can get sub 5 a5 :p I've had 2 sub 4 a5s (though I do do a hell of a lot of practise) even though I average just below 7.
I get 3 or 4, sometimes 5 very easy scrambles in a row sometimes. I remember when you were faster than me :D Not sure what you average though, but I'm guessing around 7.5-8?

Are you using qqtimer offline? Because I've had that problem too.

PB avg100 by 0.03. And with this I have broken all my 3x3 speed PBs within 3 days with the dayan guhong (full step single/lucky single/avg5/12/100). Didn't think I could break my avg100 PB until the 7s and 8s at the end (both PLL skips :D) Got lucky there, but I also got several counting (screwed up) 16s and 17s so what the heck.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CUBE

This was actually my first sub 7 average of 12. I've just got back into practicing pyra. I took a break because I was frustrated that my times weren't improving, but I'm starting to see a lot more fast times recently so it makes it fun again. I'm not using the timer offline. I'm not sure what the problem is. Everytime I try to retrieve the scrambles it says that there is an error on the page.

I average around 6.5-7 and have never had any averages below 5. :( 5.04 or something's my best average of 5.
 
FINALLY fixed my 'scrambled' master magic. I accidentally messed it up the day that I got it. Just did a few solves to get my beginning PB's.

Single - 4.88
avg5 - 6.81
avg12 - 6.99

Will definately break these next time I pick the thing up.

Awesome. I was about to post FINALLY rah rah rah rah, then realised that you'd had a sub 20 a5 before. And the a12 is so close :) Good job.
