You... you.. THREAD SNATCHER!!!!
I´m cool with it. If you only have one set of scrambles, you might want to add a R.T.sub40 or 35, as graduating is always motivating.

Schmidt : 30.81 (σ = 3.12) : 3x3x3 on 4x4x4 : sub30
29.11, 27.66, 30.13, (36.27), 31.34, 26.83, 35.44, 36.16, (26.38), 28.94, 32.72, 29.80

Congratulations to cubesonfire, who graduated the race to sub 25. Also two graduates in the race to sub 30: cube fan 2013 and PianoCube. Way to go to everyone who participated!

As said many times, thx for doing these things Brian! Although I don't participate every week, I always appreciate to know its here and the way you lay out the data! It helps the motivation to

succeed!

Right on, DaveyCow!

Yeah the scrambles have easy crosses

Yea for good luck, Jander Clerix... Scrambles last week were from the WCA scrambler.

Brian, you're the awesomest!

Shucks. Actually sneaklyfox you are far awesomer.

No congratulations for me
So sad
Though I am going tip race to sub 20
My dream isn't far now

Congratulations cubesonfire!

Round 1
Thanks for doing this race!!! It's my main motivation to really practice and not only solve a lot without thinking.

UR welcome lunari... me too!

You... you.. THREAD SNATCHER!!!!

Right on Schmidt... When you decide you want it back just say the word and it's yours. A race to sub 40 is not a bad idea but this is already cutting into my practice time enough as it is!

Round: 2
Race to: sub-40 (or sub-30 if we aren't doing that)
Event: OH (ZZ)
Times: 48.15, 53.45, 1:09.58, 49.62, 44.60, 40.73, 44.34, 38.38, 48.03, 41.53, 43.20, 41.69
Average of 12: 45.53
My first 12 solves with my new 54.6mm ShuangRen. It feels completely different to my ZhanChi. It's also black and white (I've only ever used black cubes before).

Just seen "Round Two Scrembles".

I like scramble 5; here's what I would've done if I'd used CFOP and not ZZ:

Interesting how it doesn't matter which way you rotate: the cube is symmetrical after the second pair.

I'd say that you can use any goal you want, so if you're aiming for sub-40, then you can mention that in your post. It saves setting up a race for every 5 second barrier.

Really? "Any"?

Typical... worst solve after best solve. I forgot what I was working on so I'm just going back to plain OH.

 

[Schmidt]

You wasn't working on anything. You had just graduated sub25 ZZ.

 

[sneaklyfox]

You wasn't working on anything. You had just graduated sub25 ZZ.

I think I had a few things going on. If I remember correctly they were...
sub25 ZZOH
sub20 ZZ
sub25 OH
sub25 Roux
sub15 2H

Bad average, I'm sub-30 mostly now. But I'm proud of the xcross I did in the 24.71, first time I created one in an actual solve and didn't get confused
