That was just flat-out awful. Excuse me for a minute while I go find a dark corner to cry in

Don't worry, it might have been a case of graduation anxiety, it happens very frequently. You'll make it next time, I'm sure. By the way, if you want, could you share your method and cube just to fill the information in the standings? I'm a statistics freak

This is a DNF but please add a line to your individual times where you already indicate your average (I'm a bit lazy to do the math myself ). Also, if you don't mind, put the number of the round and, if you want, your method and cube just as statistical info. Welcome to the race!

I'm back! Had to stop cubing for a couple weeks due to my exams, but now they're almost over and I can cube a lot more now. Goal is Sub-13 by Worlds!

Haven't lost any speed though these past couple weeks. I'm still at my usual average, even if I am cutting it fine on the sub-15 Ao12. One more to go!

... You know how you can get an average that's so borderline, fumbling on the last solve can flip it around?
Either way, I just got Lubicle One and I'm loving it in this cube.

That's a bit of a spread. I was really jittery for some reason this time...

EDIT: I decided to continue after that average and do an Ao100, and I got a new PB Ao12, Ao50, and Ao100 (13.72, 14.52, and 14.65 respectively). It feels like I'm going slowly, but that definitely means I've improved. Woo!

BOOM! I just finished off learning full OLL and used one of the final algs I learnt in the 12 so I'm really happy about that, plus I finally graduated. I'll still keep coming here every time I remember though, since I'm by no means Sub-15 globally yet...
