I've never really used gqTimer before. When I first looked at it, I didn't think I needed graphs, but now I like to see how I'm improving. Does it save all your times permanently? If so, I might start using it more often.
E: and if you want a scramble with a really easy cubeshape (unless I misscrambled, but that's hard to do with square-1 without noticing): (0,-4) / (1,-2) / (6,-3) / (-1,2) / (-5,1) / (-4,0) / (3,-3) / (0,3) / (0,-4) / (1,4) / (2,2) / (0,1) / (-3,0) / (-3,3) / (-3,-3) / (-3,0)
E2: did it, 42.32. PB by over 15 seconds :D No parity, very easy CO, and iirc one of the layers was a U perm (other was a V perm).
Haha, nice job on the single. And yeah, gqtimer saves times permanently up to 30 sessions per puzzle/mode, I believe.
 
square-1: 37.08 49.06 48.84 46.59 1:00.54 58.27 36.73 46.04 35.64 (1:02.97) 34.16 (32.28) = 45.30
46.04 35.64 (1:02.97) 34.16 (32.28) = 38.61
last two were both pb singles...
 
Yeah, not sure that it really matters at our speed though.
I prefer random state to actually scramble though, because the puzzle stays as a cube for longer. I have to keep looking down to make sure I'm doing it right when it's not a cube.
I'm now averaging ~1:20 I think. 1:10 seems so far off, but knowing me I'll jump down to sub-1 in a week and then not improve at all for the next two months, before getting sub-50 without practising.
E: 50.67. Skipped permuting one layer.

Yeah, I somehow jumped from 1:50 to 1:10, so who knows...

First ever square-1 session after learning last night from brandbestawesome (surprised i remembered the algs overnight really)

number of times: 12/12
best time: 51.917
worst time: 1:57.848

current avg5: 1:26.280 (σ = 30.02)
best avg5: 1:17.976 (σ = 19.31)

current avg12: 1:28.419 (σ = 22.60)
best avg12: 1:28.419 (σ = 22.60)

1:57.848, 1:48.123, 1:19.034, 1:09.142, 58.114, 1:43.896, 1:30.865, 1:27.293, 51.917, 1:56.180, 55.770, 1:55.776

The 51 was really easy (I misaligned the D layer instead of U for CO to get an EO skip) and the 58 had easy cubeshape (align and 1 slice to all edges grouped on U)
 
I think I'm more efficient in general, but there's some luck involved in a good single too. (ben's even more efficient, which is part of why he's so fast on small puzzles.)

Actually I think there's something wrong with the movecounts - will have to talk to Ben about that. soup's numbers add up to 99 (13.937 tps) and mine add up to 82 (13.901 tps).
 
There was no previous post (we have leaderboards on the sim now). And off-topic doesn't show up on the front page and doesn't add to postcount :| Feels wrong to post legitimate accomplishments on speedsolving permutation puzzles in such a place.

Gahh how do you get fast so quickly.. I can't even sub 10 because I can't fingertrick the stupid sledgehammer :(
