High Consistency on Big Cubes?

[JLarsen]

That would be a yes for me.

Cubes Solved: 12/12
Number of Pops: 0
Average: 2:02.46
Standard Deviation: 8.03
Best Time: 1:51.36
Worst Time: 2:16.62

That's my 5x5 average, and it seems to be much more consistent than any cube. What is your experience with big cube times?

5x5: 2:53.40
(3:10.33), (2:29.95), 3:01.21, 2:56.01, 2:42.99

Lol. My times on the 5x5 can very from 2:30 to 3:30.
I really need to practice. My times are far too inconsistant.

That would be a no for me.

 

[JLarsen]

Hmmmmm. That is very interesting. Do you rarely practice? Like leave it siting there for 2 weeks at a time unturned?

 

[Daniel Wu]

Not 2 weeks... Maybe 2-3 days tops.

example times? i can't see the consistency in an 8s SD. xD

at times my times can fluctuate, or at times, extremely consistent; once I had a 4x4 average with 9 times 58s, a 54, 59, and a 1:04.

 

[JLarsen]

Hmmm I guess it's not that much more consistent than my 3x3. I guess I just assumed that since the times were so much longer, that proportionately my 5x5 times were more consistent, but I did out the math and my SD is about 1/15th of my average solve time on 5x5, and 1/16th on 3x3.

3x3 SD 1 second, solve 16= 1/16th the solve time

5x5 SD 8, solve 120 seconds= 1/15.

Edit: but then again, sometimes my 3x3 SD can go as high as 2 sec, which is proportionately more inconsistent. My 5x5 always stays around there, if not, lower SD. The math I did for 3x3 I used 1 sec as my SD which I doubt is accurate since I just got a 1.8 SD in an average just now....

With ~2 SD on 3x3 it would be 1/8th of my solve.

I did an average 12 on 7x7 not that long ago. Every solve except 2 were within a few seconds of 4:55.

 

[rahulkadukar]

My 7x7x7 times fluctuate wildly between 9:30 to 13:30 and I dont do a session of 12 because it would take too much time because I am very slow.

Look at this guy
Pedro Santos Guimarães and his official 6x6x6 times
4:48.09 4:48.18 4:48.06

That is the height of consistency

 

[Zaxef]

I'm fairly consistent but at times I'll get some times 15-20 seconds under average somehow :/

5x5x5 Cube

Lyon Open 2007 Times 2:00.71 3:12.66 2:01.91 2:06.19 2:00.51 = 2:02.94 average

Lyon Open 2007 Times 2:00.71 3:12.66 2:01.91 2:06.19 2:00.51 = 2:02.94 average

what happened there

 

[JLarsen]

So decent sized bump here, but it's justified.

Look at these 7x7 times:

6:43.37, 6:40.87, 6:47.37, 6:41.06, 6:45.70

Those are non rolling. Just a set of 5, no extras. I call that really consistent.
