[Case Study] Move count for the 5x5x5 edge pairing step.

[Raffael]

ok, so here's my move count for the scrambles on page 1:
(+12 is the parity alg for the last two edges)

1. 81
2. 89 + 12 = 101
3. 77
4. 81
5. 70 + 12 = 82
6. 67 + 12 = 79
(7. 66)
8. 86
9. 85
10. 76 + 12 = 88
(11. 95 + 12 = 107)
12. 82

84.2 moves on average

btw, i'm doing 2 edges at a time.
(4 edges at a time if the second edge is allready in place)

Thanks Raffael. Your results are youseful. What is your regular average on a 5x5?

Method style: 2 at a time
Current average: 1:25-1:30
Move counts:

80
91
85
(97 (Parity, 4 edge cycle))
87
97 (Parity, 2 edge cycle)
84
90
88 (Parity, 2 edge cycle)
(76)
80
79

Average => 86.1

unfortunately, my 5x5 broke

but i did a move count a LONG time ago, and the whole thing takes me an average of about 240 moves. and i average like 4-5 minutes

out of those, about 63 were probably for the 3x3 solve stage.

does that help any?
