How do you roll an average?

Hello. I was wondering how you guys roll averages. So..yeah. How?

How do you mean, 'Roll' the average? Elaborate a little bit, please? I don't quite understand..

Rolling an average is when instead of stopping after an average is done, you continue to do solves in an attempt to 'roll' out slower times from the begining of the average. By 'roll'ing and getting quicker times you can proceed to have a quicker average. You can also 'roll' and completely fail ending up with a worse current average.

Ah, ok, cheers Cameron!

I tend to do that a lot hahaha.

Example:
8, 8, 7, 4, 5 = 6.66 a5.
But there is two 8s solves at the start, so you can roll them out, by doing 2 more solves, so the new a5 won't have those 8s solves. If you lucky, you might get two 6s solves.

Now the average goes 7, 4, 5, 6, 6 = 5.66 a5. (you could now attempt to roll the 7)
