Just a suggestion, since Pyraminx is a relatively quick puzzle, maybe do a mean of 3 averages of 12? Also because getting lucky is so common with this puzzle. It's of course up to you, though.

I wouldn't jump straight into 3 Ao12's, but maybe 3 Ao5's. That way, we make it a bit longer, but not too long.

Average: 7.84 :fp

7.14, 6.68, 8.29, 8.59, 8.38, 8.26, (10.57), 6.59, 8.30, 8.03, (6.06), 8.14

On the 6.68, 10.57 and 6.06 my keyboard stopped responding and started to make a weird high pitched noise. It was about 1.5-2 seconds of spamming the spacebar before the timer would stop >_<. Next round if this doesn't stop I will use my stackmat.

@Different format:

I like the idea of 3 averages, I think 3 averages of 12 would be fine, but I think some people would think that might be too long. So I think I will trial 3 averages of 5 from next round.

(Another thing that might work is if it was 3 averages of 12, but the rounds were weekly instead.)

Currently, we do 24 solves per week. Changing to the 3 x Ao5 format, we would do 30 solves per week. If we do 1 round per week with the 3 x Ao12, then we would do 36 solves per week. So, I would suggest doing the 3 x Ao5 format for 1 or 2 weeks, and then do the 1 round per week of 3 x Ao12.

Hmm, seems a bit complicated, 3 averages of 12 for 1 week seems like it could work well, maybe I'll try that. Although maybe 1 week of 3 averages of 5 and then the next week 3 averages of 12? Although 3 averages of 5 is only 15 solves per week I think maybe. Next round 3 averages of 5 (3 days) and then the round after that 3 averages of 12 (weekly of bi-weekly?) If that was bi-weekly it would be 51 solves. 36 pyra solves in 3 days isn't too time consuming, although if someone doesn't want to do that then they can just compete once a week. (Actually I'm liking this idea now )

tl;dr

Next week: 3 x Average of 5
Week after: 3 x Average of 12

And it continues, I think this would work.

(Sorry this post is sort of random and that I contradicted myself lol, I hope it makes a bit of sence though )
