Dylan Millers gets quite angry

The average of my fastest solves in the last ~250 is 7.86, while my PB ao5 at home is 9.01. The average of Yiheng's 5 fastest official solves this year (out of like 250) is 3.63. There's no way he has anything under 3.5x at home.
Now obviously Yiheng does more solve than me, but the point still stands.

That’s interesting, but it seems like it’s just a gut feeling dressed up as if it’s proving something statistically.

And I’m not sure why you can hand-wave away that the number of solves isn’t relevant.
 
It's near impossible to reproduce the five fastest times you've achieved in comp over nine months in a single average, that's the point I was trying to make. (And even if he did, his average would be 3.63.)

My own solves were just further evidence to support this statement (though obviously it's not the strongest).

I don't know how many solves Yiheng has done this year and I' m sure his official averages are close to his solving in a more casual long session setting. His current moving average is 4.7x so I'm guessing he averages in the 4.6-4.8 range (absolutely insane).
With these assumptions, a low-3 average would definitely be a statistical marvel but at the same time this is Yiheng. We've already established that he's insane!
Defo don't think he has a sub-3 average (maybe on the GAN smartcube) but a low-3 is something I'd readily believe.
