Methods: LBL + L4E Stuff
Race to sub 5.5 (1/3) FINALLY
Averge: 5.48

Times: 6.26, 4.42, 4.95, 6.79, 3.82, 4.67, 5.44, 5.20, 5.27, 5.48, (7.57), (3.76) = 5.48

Comments: Not everyday you get a counting 3 on your average... My competition is tommorow (Alagoinhas Open), please wish me luck because I will need it, last two comps I had the same average and now I really want to beat it. Not going for a sub 5.5 average, but at least sub 6.5, a sub 6 would be nice.

Round 19
Race to sub-8
Method: LBL
Pyraminx: QiYi QiMing

7.44, (4.19), 7.85, 4.94, 6.31, 6.81, (8.70), 8.59, 5.05, 6.24, 7.52, 6.57 = 6.73 avg

whoa look at that its a counting 4. anyway, that concludes my journey to sub 8! I've been avging low to mid 7's, so I am going to set my goal as 6.5 for next week. cool!
 
Round 19
Race to sub 3.5
L4E, etc.
X Man Magnetic Bell

2.65, 2.98, 3.61, 3.59, 4.01, (4.37), 4.11, 3.14, 3.32, 4.31, 3.00, (2.26) = 3.47

This average was pretty interesting, had a good start but the three 4.xx in a row were very annoying plus another 4. At least i got a few sub 3 solves to balance it out. Ignoring the 4's it is actually a pretty good average, the amount of sub 3's was pretty good plus the 3.00 which is almost sub 3. On a side note, I didn't even realize the color coding (1.xx, 2.xx, 3.xx, 4.xx,) is actually the same colors used in the current popular pyraminx color scheme. anyway, I'm happy with the average and can't wait to finish off the sub 3.5 goal next round and move on too sub 3 :)

2/3
 
Good luck this round, cornercutter. 2/3!

Thank you!:)

I think I'll do sub-6.5 as well since I have been averaging high six's. It will be fun to compete!

ROUND 19
Lewis
Method: LBL
Goal: Sub-8
Cube: Moyu Pyraminx (non-magnetic)

Times: 6.68, 9.14, 9.26, 10.95, 9.08, 9.77, 10.28, (13.98), 6.56, (5.98), 6.00, 6.72.

Average: 8.44

Missed a week, but I'm back and inconsistent as ever. Had a bit of a look at other pyraminx methods but it's all more algorithms and I'm knee deep in learning a bunch of square-1 algs right now, so I think it'll have to wait.
It's infuriating, because my pyraminx averages of 12 have been everywhere between ~7.2 and 9+ seconds this past week with no sort of pattern to them.
