Ok, first 12 solves of today Color neutral:

Average: 32.20
1-12 - 27.56 (26.89) 37.61 36.50 (37.73) 34.16 32.58 30.73 29.56 33.23 31.05 29.05

Then 12 on white cross:
Average: 28.96
32.37 24.77 (32.72) 31.02 26.02 31.72 (23.44) 27.44 28.08 30.17 30.00 28.04

I will do an Ao100 later today when I am finished working. I will post the results. I will give it one more week, if I still average (Ao100) around 31-ish I go back to white/yellow crosses.

My experience with diansheng is very positive, after lubing they fly hihi.

Curious to see that cube alright, good thing you're bringing it with. :tu

Instead of an Ao100 CN I decided to split them into a Ao50 CN and Ao50 White cross. Here are the results

Ao50 CN:

Mean: 31.16
Average: 31.02
Best time: 22.85
Median: 30.81
Worst time: 45.97
Standard deviation: 4.88

Best average of 5: 27.84
37-41 - (22.85) 28.08 (32.59) 26.53 28.92

Best average of 12: 28.89 Unfortunatly had quite a few white crosses in these best Ao12..
37-48 - (22.85) 28.08 32.59 26.53 28.92 27.80 (41.83) 27.27 34.02 27.70 31.47 24.54


Ao50 White cross:

Mean: 28.63
Average: 28.62
Best time: 22.85 LOL, same as previous 50
Median: 28.23
Worst time: 34.96
Standard deviation: 3.32

Best average of 5: 25.69
23-27 - 27.27 23.44 (23.14) (27.46) 26.36

Best average of 12: 27.00
20-31 - 30.69 (32.81) 26.61 27.27 23.44 (23.14) 27.46 26.36 27.85 24.81 31.19 24.29

So, in best Ao12 there is 2.89 seconds difference and in 50 the difference 2.53. I think that is quite allright I guess, would have loved to see a smaller difference however.. Especially since I do not practice white and try to avoind them in picking cross color when training.

It still amazes me how an Introduction thread can have ~850 posts.

Nice improvement by the way. Keep up the good work! Best of luck with Colour Neutral.

It's hasn't been an introduction thread for a long time, it has become "Marcel's Thread".

Haha, true. I love the idea of having a separate thread for everything about yourself - times, experiences, etc. rather than posting times in a thread where everyone can post, like the Accomplishment Thread for example.

If you want mine, the link is in my sig!

Today I nearly broke my PB with a green cross:

5. 17.08 U B2 R2 U' L2 U' R2 L2 U2 L2 B2 R' F' R U B D2 L U2 L F

I can't reproduce it.. not even close.. I don't know how I did it but it was a full solve. To bad that the camera was recharging..... ;(

 

[Gordon]

Cool. And even on a 'not-white' cross. Congrats!

With my single PB's it's the same. After the solve, I never know how I did it and how it could have been so fast. Especially when the previous and next solves are nearly ten seconds slower...

 

[MarcelP]

Especially when the previous and next solves are nearly ten seconds slower...

I really lost my cool there. Next solve was 43 seconds on a white cross LOL..

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Mailbox alert haha

 

[MarcelP]

I just did a great Ao50 color neutral. I am going to try to finish as a sub 30 Ao100..

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Wow.. well done! That looks great already

 

[MarcelP]

Whooooohoooo! First sub 30 Ao100 Color neutral

Best time was a green cross

91. 21.43 L2 F2 R2 U' F2 L2 F2 U' F2 D2 U L' B' R' U R' F' D' R2 F L U2

Almost lost my cool in the last 10 solves.. But still finished easily sub 30

EDIT: I just saw that I almost broke my Ao12 white cross PB.. Wow

 

[sneaklyfox]

Nice going!

 

[lcsbiffi]

Nicely done. I really envy your persistance on color neutral

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Well done!!

 

[MarcelP]

Nicely done. I really envy your persistance on color neutral

Thanks! It is kind of hard at some times not to stop training CN and just go back at where you are good at. But I simply kept going for CN because I find it a lot more fun then solving just that damn boring white cross Right now I feel like I am true color neutral.

Nice going!

How about you? Do you think you will stay CN?

Well done!!

And you? How is you transition to CN going?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I have been training on the first 4 colors a bit to avoid forgetting one as I insert the other, so to speak. Gotta love memory issues but hey I am doing it! lol

Currently working on green and blue will be the last one to start on. It'll be a while yet, but that is ok.

Hopefully there will be an event somewhere near me again, 1.5 hours worth of driving is stiff, and train prices for that distance are horrid Both in Belgium are too far away already. HRMPH.
