Week 1 Results

2. Toquinha1977 - 25.20
3. Zam Halen - 26.35
4. Diniz (OH) - 29.64

 

[iasimp1997]

WAAAAAAY too many of these.

 

[ianini]

WAAAAAAY too many of these.

But it motivates people to get faster so I don't see a problem here.

 

[Sir E Brum]

going from 30 to 25 is not difficult to the point where you need much motivation.

 

[Cyrus C.]

No thanks.

 

[cincyaviation]

i didn't think it was that hard, and i don't think we need this many increments, but i guess its a motivational tool so...

 

[ZamHalen]

I'm in.

 

[Sir E Brum]

23.18, 25.99, (29.19), 25.61, 22.56, 25.24, 26.98, 22.96, (20.48), 20.88, 24.38, 25.19 = 24.30
I'm out =P

 

[Innocence]

Not necessary. All we should really need is 30, 20, and 10. Anything higher than that is too easy, anything below too much of a niche, and in-between is unneccesary increments. I barely remember the time between sub-30 and sub-25. I basically just got sub-30, then the sub-30s got lower and lower into the 20s.

 

[ZamHalen]

Average: 26.35
Standard Deviation: 2.86
Best Time: 21.97
Worst Time: 37.14
Individual Times:
1. 28.34
2. 26.47
3. 22.86
4. 32.59
5. 24.78
6. 22.48
7. (37.14)
8. 25.67
9. (21.97)
10. 25.19
11. 30.78
12. 24.30
I screwd it up with the 30s and I screwed up an X cross on the 8th solve.

I don't know that I agree. It took me over a year to go from 30 to 25, and I would have considered sub-20 hopelessly out of reach. It wasn't until I got sub-25 that I finally realized I actually wanted to try to get sub-20; before that, I sort of thought I never would.

It took me longer than I want to think about (at least a year) to get from my first sub :40 to my first sub :30 average.

 

[Innocence]

Mike, I believe the only thing stopping somebody is commitment and mental blocks. I always believed sub-20 would be a piece of cake, so it hasn't taken me that long to get where I am. Only now am I starting to lose faith, and I'm not today because I'm having a really good day. Anyway, as Koreancuber said, there's plenty of room in the other races.

 

[Deleted member 4527]

WAAAAAAY too many of these.

My friend wanted to make a sub-12 or sub-10 thread but thought that it was pointless..

 

[peedu]

If you don't like a thread, don't read it.

 

[Diniz]

I will join OH:

OH
#1 Scrambles
Name: Diniz
Average: 29.64
Times: 29.65, 29.86, (27.58), 28.34, 30.26, 31.11, 27.84, 30.49, 31.90, 31.47, 28.47, 28.86

I think 15 is also necessary because it gets harder to improve once you're sub 20

For me 25 is also necessary for OH, its getting really hard to cut of seconds now...

And only have 20 and 10 is so crazy.. it can take years lol

Unless you're Faz... Then you will go from not being able to solve, to sub 8 in 2 years.
