My average has dropped by 4 seconds in the last 5 days. From 30 to 26

 

[Swoncen]

Average of 12: 35.24! w00000t! =)

This weak my goal is at least one solve under 30 seconds and an average of at least 33 seconds.

Nice! You've beaten my best average of 12! Now for my average of 5? Don't worry, I'll got back to OH eventually and catch up again.

Just had a 1:22.27 on 4x4x4, my first sub 1:30... but I was a little lucky skipping my last ELL step (direct solving).

Next time sub 1:30 with no luck

[Mike Hughey]

Sorry, I know I stink, but this is a huge breakthrough for me. This is over a second better than my previous best, which was just 2 weeks ago.

3x3x3 average of 100: 28.43 seconds

Fastest Time: 19.02
Slowest Time: 34.67
Standard Deviation: 02.74

The 19.02 was an LL skip - it's always such a shock when you get one of those!

The most impressive thing for me was my slowest time - I had a couple of disasters, but the worst one was still under 35 seconds! That's amazing for me.

Also, I'm encouraged because it feels like I make big mistakes on almost every solve - unnecessary lockups, taking an inordinately long time to recognize an OLL or PLL, doing an algorithm badly, etc. It's encouraging because I can clearly see room for lots of improvement.

 

[Lofty]

11.08 OH with a PLL skip. I want a sub-10... in a 17.xx average. I want the WR.
I even feel room for improvement.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

27.48 OH average Woohoo!

P.S. - Wow great job Lofty! Good luck with sub-10 OH, I can't wait for that. I know you will get the world record some time!

 

[Jude]

Woohoo! First sub 6 2x2x2 average- 3/5, on Cubemania - and then another straight after, so I guess this almost counts as a 10/12 . First 5.91, then 5.40, including (between them) 3 non lucky sub 5s and a lucky 3.03 (OLL skip). Exactly a week after learning full Ortega and having my 2x2x2 pimped (Thanks Escher!)

 

[Swoncen]

WOHOOOOOOOOO! Rubiks Cube: 28.06 single! First time sub 30! I was hitting the wrong key when I finished so it was something like 27.xx but I will hit that next time =)

 

[Escher]

learnt more OLLs (reached 30 this morning), just did a load of solves, did some more, did some more after that, then did an avg of 100 - 20.12!!! i am SO CLOSE to being officially, bona-fide, all singing, all dancing sub 20!
will analyse the solves and try and see if i got a PB avg of 5 or 12

First sub-14 average. I rolled out a 12.80 and 16.01 to get this.

 

[mrbiggs]

First sub-20 3/5. I've been flirting with it for about three weeks now, and I finally got it. It was totally undeserved; only one was "lucky" in terms of the rules, but the other two sub-20s had easy extended crosses and then Sune-U perm. It's weird to get a lucky PB on a bad day.
