Tired average of 50, no warm-up:

Average: 18.63
Fastest Time: 14.23
Slowest Time: 26.08
Standard Deviation: 02.26

(Slowest was a pop. Second slowest was 22.xx)

The fact that the first half of my session was effectively a warm-up, it was interesting to see how my times progressed. The first half probably had an average of ~19.25, so the second half must have been ~17.75.

Tired best 10 of 12:

Average: 17.07 seconds
Standard Deviation: 1.34
Individual Times: 18.16, 17.47, 15.11, 16.70, 18.86, 18.91, (21.50), 15.69, 15.64, 16.69, (14.52), 17.48

I'm slightly surprised I almost got sub-16, considering I'm shattered.

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

New PB avg of 28.71. The first solve had a PLL skip though.

Still, big achievement for me. It took me forever to get sub 30, and now i'm eating away towards 25

 

[Odin]

New PB avg of 38sec ( i had alot of skips) my avg is still 1:18, also i learnd most of my PLL/OLLs

 

[Hadley4000]

107 cubes in 1 hour.

 

[Derrick Eide17]

107 cubes in 1 hour.

Nice Hadley

I haven't actually tried that in awhile, since i have more cubes now i think i should try someting like it again

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

107 cubes in 1 hour.

i tired that today! i got a total of 7, because after 7 cubes I realized that I didn't have anyone to scramble

 

[DavidWoner]

4x4: i beat my former pb single 4 times in this avg, i was really on today. i think the 1:16 had PLL parity too. RA of like 15, beat my former PB avg by like 6 seconds

1:15.35
1:24.57
(1:34.81)
1:28.61
1:25.96
1:16.36
1:26.94
1:24.68
1:22.58
1:26.73
(1:12.08)
1:14.71
avg= 1:22.65

i should get my camera working so i can get my first sub-70 on film...

I thought you started learning them only just yesterday...

How is your PB average twice as quick as your "average" average?

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

He obviously means his new PB SINGLE is 38.

 

[MTGjumper]

He obviously means his new PB SINGLE is 38.

That's what made me disregard it being a single solve: either he skipped OLL, PLL and a couple of F2L slots, or he actually was talking about an average.

Oh, and:

I was incredibly nervous on my 4th and 5th solves. I had originally planned to do an average of 25, but considering my first 3 solves were ridiculous, I went for a 3 of 5. Both 2 and 3 were lucky, PLL skip and 2 move cross respectively, but everything else was non-lucky.

 

[waffle=ijm]

1.09 MAGIC. I had absolutely no slip ups and had smooth transition between moves. And one of my stings broke during this solve i don't think I can ever do this again. (darn. I should have recorded this but my webcam wasn't working.)

 

[DavidWoner]

so this is the first avg taken since i got my 19.99(first sub-20).

ummmmm yeah. i lubed my cube for the first time in a few months. apparently that helps you go faster. i think its just that now f2l feels smoother i can look ahead easier. not an RA either.

the 15.83 was non-lucky and not one of those easy f2l/sune+U nonlucky solves. just an ordinary solve, done extraordinarily well.

i should get my camera working so i can get my first sub-70 on film...

oh well, 1:08.98 4x4x4 single. i think it was like 15 centers, 23 edges, 31 3x3.

ok i really need to get my camera running now...



EDIT: 4x4: 1:00.34 (P). the PLL was the parity alg, so it could either be consider a skip or an H-perm, im gonna say it was an H-perm with parity on it

 

[Siraj A.]

1.38 Magic solve, along with some other sub 1.50's.

 

[ShadenSmith]

1.38 Magic solve, along with some other sub 1.50's.

138 is my favorite number.

Ok so I don't post here much, because I mostly work on BLD not speed. But I was excited about this average. It's not a pb average, it's just an average where I overcame my own mental blocks and still got the time I wanted.

12.57, 13.30, 14.95, 17.18, 14.52, 22.77, 15.62, (pop), 13.05, 14.41, (12.46), 12.94 = 15.13

I started the average off really well for me, and wasn't happy after the 17.18. On the 22.77 everything went wrong, I couldn't find the pairs, I got a bad/slow combination of OLL and PLL for me, and not to mention I locked up a lot on LL. After that I though, well ok at least the 22 is my throw away solve. Then 2 solves after that I popped. I almost gave up the average, but the I thought "wait I wonder if I can still get sub-16 in spite of those slow solves". Well I then buckled down and got a super nice ending, despite knowing I had a pop and a slow solve, and got nearly sub-15!

Yay! I know I don't speedcube much, but this really is fun! Now you superfast people laugh at this average lol, at least I am happy

[Derrick Eide17]

Very nice Chris, even with one bad solve and a pop in there you still got a very good average for you

 

[Garmon]

00:31.83 Personal Best (PLL skip)
Last night I got 32.xx non lucky though.

 

[Escher]

26.3 slow turning average of 12. Very pleased then i did a speedsolve and got a nice 16.xx. didnt feel that fast either. hopefully this heralds some further improvements soon

 

[MTGjumper]

If I do a slow turning average before a real average, my lookahead is vastly improved too. I actually got to the point where I was doing sub-20 slow turning averages.

 

[Siraj A.]

1.25 Magic single and 1.32 average of 5!
