Woo-hoo!

I see WR for you soon!!!!

I need to practice that again. At least I should average sub-13 by now.

haha thanks but Idk. what is the avg WR right now?
I'm sure i still got lots of work to do when some certain Polish (grr) people can avg sub 5.

5.04 is the current WR average.

New PB average and single PB, and it wasn't even lucky! (Far from lucky, in fact.)

QTM is a useless metric. Your move count is actually five moves less. By the way, your OLL is wrong.

Fixed, thanks.

Do competitions use face turn metric (or whatever it's called...)?

Quarter Turn Metric isn't entirely useless; it just usually isn't the most convienient, or common, metric to use while trying to explain things... or count moves.

WCA Regulations promote HTM (Half Turn Metric), where all outer turns count as one move. See WCA notation.

1:09 4x4 single. Sub 1:10!

All 3x3 scrambles are currently done in FTM/HTM (whatever you want to call it). FMC follows this, as well.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

I now average sub 18 for Petrus! I also got an 11 second solve yesterday, second solve of the day.

4x4 Average: 1:00.19 (so close!)

sorry for the bad lighting :/

Nice Phil, good work.

I did a 1:10.xx avg of 12 for 4x4 today, my best yet. I can do sub-1:10 soon.

I also did a 23.99 avg of 12 with Roux today.

 

[Faz]

I got my 4x4 a week ago and i have done 1 sub 2 average!

 

[Lucas Garron]

21.56 OH average:
22.24, 21.10, (25.21), 22.06, (17.97), 24.43, 22.77, 18.75, 22.13, 18.77, 21.15, 22.23

The next solve felt very sub-20, like a reasonable 17, but the timer didn't start. So I had to do another scramble and got 30, and then it was over...

[pjk]

54.28 avg of 12, congrats. You dropped 2 seconds in the last couple days, amazing. WR soon?

What is your typical breakdown Tim?

Something like 12-22-23 on average, including parities.

Talk about lack of parities. First five solves had none. I also think that there were only 3 O parities, but 5 P parities. Only one solve (the 58) had both, the rest had at most one.

I might not beat this average for a LONG while.
