Challenge to people who own more than one of the same kind of puzzle.

Is it the cube or the cuber? Wouldn't you like to know?

When I see cubing videos, there is usually lots of cubes laying on the cubers desk. My theory is that every cuber has one favorite cube (in each catagory), but what about the other cubes? Are they bad? Unusable? Smelly? Or could they be as fast as the favored cube?

So I was thinking that people could do an average with all their cubes to find out if it is the cube or the cuber, but I have yet to figure out how big an average. If it is ao5/12 it might be too little (solve 5 with "good" cube, change to "bad" cube, but getting better times because of being warmed up) and ao100 might be too much (this should be for all WCA puzzles, so 2(or more)*100 6x6x6 solves is time consuming, no matter how fast you are!). So what would be adequate? 25? 36? 50? Or different depending on puzzle?

5 because that dosent take forever

2x2:
wittwo v1 (mane): 2.63, (1.79), 2.57, 2.05, (2.88) = 2.42
v-cube: 2.58, 2.92, (1.89), (4.47), 2.97 = 2.82
lanlan: 2.76, (3.79), (1.68), 3.37, 3.39 = 3.17
eastsheen: (3.27), 4.43, 3.31, (4.44), 3.96 = 3.90
v-cube pillowed: 4.13, (3.27), 3.29, (5.27), 4.47 = 3.96

3x3:
Zhanchi (mane): 10.94, 11.11, (9.44), (11.64), 11.28 = 11.11
Guhong: 14.17, 14.01, (13.61), 13.69, (15.22) = 13.96
F1: 13.28, 14.93, 14.08, (15.59), (11.48) = 14.10
A2: 16.09, 15.04, (14.26[pll skip]), (22.87), 21.49 = 17.54

I did avg100s on three of my cubes and they were 7.20, 7.26 7.28 so theres no huge difference.
I find my favourite cubes are the ones which I can get faster with straight away.

Right now I hate all of them though.

Marcel you should try this lol you have soo manyyy 3x3 cubes!

 

[MarcelP]

LOL, Yeah, I don't know where to begin.... I could do per brand though. An Ao12 per Brand/type sounds interesting

Zhanchi 55mm: 14.18, 14.75, 18.81, 17.58, 15.07 = 15.80 (main)

Guhong v1: 18.52, 14.84, 19.01, 18.04, 17.71 = 18.09 (I think I just wasn't used to the different feel of this cube right after the Zhanchi because a lot of the slow times were from lockups that shouldn't happen that much... maybe I should have warmed up on the different cubes.)

Storebought Rubik's: 20.44, 22.60, 22.58, 21.19, 19.83 = 21.40 (Ooh, a sub-20 time in there! I have trouble getting sub-20 with this cube because I can't use certain fingertricks well. Some PLLs like E-perm really suck on this.)

Too bad I don't have my other sad storebought with me. I probably would have sup-40 times on it because it's so stiff it even hurts my wrist to turn it.
