[Unofficial] Clock - 6.94 average of 12 (Ryan Jones)

[ryanj92]

Finally getting back to about as fast as I was last time I practised seriously, yay :3 7.3x average this session of about 80 solves.
Non-rolling. Been doing my sessions in 12 solve lumps to try and get a decent non-rolling average I think there was a 6.91 rolling average in this session.
Hopefully I can get NR average at my next comp in two weeks

Spoiler: times, scrambles

I don't believe you. Please explain your method.

And no you can't get NR. That's mine forever

Oh, and btw, very nice!

My method is like:
1. Force skips
2. Turn fast
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!

And I'll probably screw up on the day, but it's good to hope for the best, at least and thanks!

Welcome back

Many gj, WR pls.

Welcome back

Thanks, feels good

Many gj, WR pls.

Thanks, I will try maybe having Evan there (and knowing you will be competing also) will bring out the best in me

Good stuff, as always. Can't wait for Nottingham! Not so sure how clock first thing in the morning will go, though.
That'll be a crazy weekend for clock, of course aided by the sheer number of competitions (13, 10 of which have clock). These are just the people who I have seen achieve good times in practice, competitions, or both:

Spoiler: Top clock solvers competing that weekend

Nottingham Open 2014: Evan Liu, Daniel Sheppard, Ryan Jones, James Molloy, Conor Cronin
Singapore Open 2014: Jonathan Irvin Gunawan, Nathan Azaria, Ainesh Sevellaraja (Iggy)
Hamburg Open 2014: Laura Ohrndorf, Sébastien Auroux
Caltech Winter 2014: Deven Nadudvari (not signed up yet at the time of this post, but he hasn't missed a Caltech competition since he started competing so I think I'm making a good assumption)
Heureka Open 2014: Niko Ronkainen
Torneo Cali 2014: Daniel Cano Salgado (zzdanielzz29)

Thanks man yes, first thing clock will inevitably go... Interestingly At least there is a second round!

Thanks for the stats - I didn't realise there were that many top solvers competing that weekend (I was aware of us and Niko, but nobody else)

Yaay clock publicity
Smooth solves Ryan do you feel like you still have room for improvement?
I can't wait to see how everyone does next weekend

Thanks - and definitely, my rotations are pretty scrappy, and I still think I could be turning faster I think in terms of solve efficiency I'm in a pretty good place now though.

One of the guys who go me into cubing back in like 2008 was named Ryan Jones.

We are (unsurprisingly) common although there is only me in the WCA database. I don't think I could even solve a cube in 2008 xD
