It wasn't the first solve of the day. I just delete entire sessions when I start doing badly.

Delete sessions what is wrong with u? Don’t you just have a big sessions with all ur solves

I tried doing that for 3x3, and since 3x3 is my least consistent event, and because I had covid at the time, I ended up getting a 17 second average of 1000 when I averaged 13ish.

It was pretty discouraging.

The second biggest session I've had was a 300ish long 2x2 session, but I deleted it once I DNFed an ao200.

Congratulations!!

Thank you!

Just got a 3.53 2BLD single

This is either PB2 or PB3


I knew this LS case. It is the one where you do triple sexy.

I tried this on stackmat normally and got 0.94 if you don't count the fact that the first time I tried it, I didn't start the timer.

 

[Discomantis]

So, I tried doing some regular 2x2 solves to see what would have happened if I got that on normal 2x2 and actually the timer, and I got this:

If you plug in 0.94 along with that, you get a 1.54 average.

I'm not counting this though because the 0.82 was most likely overinspected, and because I didn't actually get a 0.94.

My biggest session is 420 solves and you bet i'm not doing any more

Ok, so this inspired me to commit to doing a big session.

I decided to do a somewhat big session in 2x2 OH, and I got a pretty good average of 25.

My biggest session is 420 solves and you bet i'm not doing any more

My biggest
Session is 13,000 solves it is my 3/3 session

 

[OtaMota]

Wow, that's big, especially for 3x3. My biggest is a 8000 solve 2x2 session

 

[JDAW6]

My biggest
Session is 13,000 solves it is my 3/3 session

All of the sessions with wvents that I care about I have 1k+

I learned an EG-1 case today.

It was the diagonal swap ortega EG-1 case.

I knew the algorithm previously so it wasn't too hard to learn again.

 

[Discomantis]

So I tried recording some solves, as I wanted a decent average on camera. I only got one good average of 5, so here it is:

The sad thing about this average though is that I locked up on solve 1 and 5. It could have been 1.8ish if I didn't lock up.

I'm nearly sure you already know, but you could have solved the last pair rotationless, although it would not have given you that nice LL skip.

How would you do that?

only the first two options are worth it for this case (only the second option for OH) but if you get the corner in a different positions the other ones are viable as well. Comms are especially nice for look ahead because almost everything just moves with U/U'/U2

 

[Discomantis]

So I learned two EG-1 cases.
One of them is the only Pi case I didn't know, and the other one was an H case.

I'm ok at the H case, but I definitely need to practice both cases more, especially the Pi case.

how many dnf's did you have?

 

[Discomantis]

how many dnf's did you have?

I had about 5 or so DNF's from not starting the timer, (I was having trouble doing that one day) and the rest of the DNF's were normal DNF's.

For a DNF ao200, assuming my math is correct, you need 11 DNF's for a DNF average.

I probably deleted it very soon after getting the DNF average.

only 11? wow i thought it would be alot more.

Yeah, I use the second option.
