Never happened before and after.. Strange.. I call this my 'good mood' timer for now.

Btw, I had a 16.66 on this scramble: R2 B2 U' R2 L2 U' L2 D U2 L2 D F L F R' F R L U' (did it on green cross and picked my first pair in inspection)

 

[MarcelP]

That's cause you did white ao50 after cn ao50, recog would've been shaky

Do a white ao50 first, and then a cn ao50, then see the results

Ok, I did two Ao25's (due to lack of time). The first one was white cross only. I did a few solves to warm up first.

Results:

Mean: 26.00
Average: 26.10
Best time: 18.99
Median: 26.08
Worst time: 30.55
Standard deviation: 2.34

Best average of 5: 25.09
5-9 - 24.77 (28.86) 24.16 26.35 (23.07)

Best average of 12: 25.42
7-18 - 24.16 26.35 23.07 26.72 (28.05) 25.36 26.08 (18.99) 26.00 24.30 26.80 25.32

Then I took a coffey brake and did another 25 color neutral:

Mean: 24.27
Average: 24.24
Best time: 18.49
Median: 24.07
Worst time: 30.62
Standard deviation: 3.11

Best average of 5: 21.63
17-21 - (18.49) (29.75) 24.64 21.56 18.68

Best average of 12: 22.70
14-25 - 25.45 21.74 21.35 (18.49) (29.75) 24.64 21.56 18.68 22.50 23.85 25.39 21.88

There is no doubt that my CN solves are better I just have real problems with hard crosses.

At 2:21, if you look at the lights on the timer, they turn off. That is when the timer stopped. Your right hand was nowhere near the pad; so it must be a malfunction of some sort. Has it happened before or after?

Has it ever mysteriously stopped at 4.41?

 

[MarcelP]

Only once when I was in Mexico

Then I took a coffey brake and did another 25 color neutral

That's why... you cheated with coffee!

Ok, that other solve where the timer stopped early was weird. It would feel great though to have a timer that always stopped a second early (or was just a little slow or something).

I thought I had a new PB of 13.00 seconds. But when I watched the video back on PC it's only a 21 seconds solve. Go to 2.06 and try to figure out what I did wrong?

Spoiler: video

[video=youtube_share;lVUM_hgYw-k]http://youtu.be/lVUM_hgYw-k[/video]

It's probably because the timer isn't from speedstacks
Or maybe batteries?

Speaking of coffee.. I always get really good averages when I'm on caffeine haha. Except when I drink coffee in the morning while cubing, and forget to eat breakfast and then I get all shaky and get crappy times

Ok, Yesterday I broke my Ao12 PB with 22.70 and today I broke my Ao5 PB during an Ao100:

Spoiler

Mean: 25.24
Average: 25.24
Best time: 17.23
Median: 25.33
Worst time: 33.06
Standard deviation: 2.95

Best average of 5: 21.17
95-99 - 20.92 21.23 (26.51) 21.37 (17.23)

Best average of 12: 23.73
5-16 - 25.53 23.95 (19.51) 25.46 21.92 24.18 (29.39) 19.92 23.17 23.03 25.50 24.64

I have been working (or I should say focus on) turning slow during F2L. The last few days I have had a great number of 19.XX solves, a few 18.XX and one 17.23 and even an 16.66 (the cool scramble from yesterday: http://youtu.be/NtZ74RV5e8o) Still I feel I can improve so much in this area.

Hey kclejeune,

I just saw a T-shirt with your avatar: http://www.spreadshirt.nl/melting-cube-C4408A23771671#/detail/23771671 Pretty cool.

Oh sweet! It's one of Sheldon Cooper's t shirts from the Big Bang theory

 

[MarcelP]

I love that show!

 

[kcl]

I love that show!

Right? It's one of my top two favorite shows, right next to How I met your mother. I love them both, but I don't watch them much. I rarely watch TV.. Usually only the occasional show on Netflix.

 

[Lchu613]

TBBT is awesome. So is Top Gear UK.

I just saw this post, then almost bought a shirt, before I noticed there's a white, orange, and yellow corner piece... and it's not Japanese colour scheme, because it's clearly red, white, blue clockwise on the visible faces. I'm not sure if I could wear this shirt now! LOL

You can. Don't worry, it's still an awesome shirt. I might get one to wear at cubetcha.

Yeah I know... But once you see something, you can't un-see it!!
