Ignore scrambles. Kool... 12.53.... but, it's not my PB cause it was a lucky solve and it was from the easy scrambles thread. D;

Stop improving! How are you improving so fast?

8th set coming.

 

[Sir E Brum]

Should have picked some easy ZZ scrambles...

Look at the scrambles. They are from the Easy scramble thread.

I wasn't referring to that...never mind. Haha you beat me by .07.

[Mike Hughey]

No fair! You guys must be color-neutral. (Or at least opposite color-neutral.)

I couldn't resist going for the easy crosses and/or x-crosses, and it killed me, since I'm totally anti-color-neutral.

Eighth set of scrambles:
22.34, 23.25, 27.52, 22.56, (15.94), 27.00, (31.61), 25.33, 21.69, 24.68, 25.28, 19.28 = 23.89

Bleah. I hate these scrambles.

Bleah. I hate these scrambles.

Do you scramble cross on bottom? Most of the scrambles were OK that way, at least normal speed. I did do one with yellow cross though.

No, of course I don't, since I don't do a blue cross (and I have an inverted Japanese color scheme). You DO scramble according to WCA regulations, don't you (white on top, green in front)? Everyone should.

These scrambles did make me a little better at solving with opposite color cross, though - I need to practice that more often.

Everyone SHOULD, but I don't because I don't have to.

 

[lorki3]

I forgot to do the averages because I'm not really cubing the last few weeks but I got an 24.xx average at german open and a 19.09 single

 

[rcnrcn927]

Isn't it Blue front?

 

[wing92]

I liked the lucky scrambles contest but I think there should be a regular one alongside it. This isn't really racing to sub-20 right now but it is fun. Here's my times. Also, I really wish I could count that best solve in this average. In fact, I wish I could count this whole average.

Average of 12: 20.78
Best Average of 5: 18.57

Best time: 12.85
Worst time: 34.00 (That one didn't seem so lucky to me... or I missed something obvious)

17.84, 18.13, 19.75, 22.63, (12.85), 20.89, 21.30, 19.70, (34.00), 25.21, 20.14, 22.20

 

[dillonbladez]

hey, guise, i is not deadd!!

this is the price you must pay for thinking of quiting cubing. a 29 second solve.

Isn't it Blue front?

WCA regulations.

4d)Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the darkest adjacent face by default) on the front.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Isn't it Blue front?

Only if you don't have green and blue is your darkest color:

4d) Cube puzzles must be scrambled with the white (or the lightest colour by default) face on top and green (or the darkest adjacent face by default) on the front.

Ninja'd?

Yup. Sorry. I thought I had gotten to the end of the thread, but I hadn't.

 

[Toquinha1977]

I was wondering why I got two sub20s in a row.

17.55 (17.16) 23.77 28.58 25.56 24.81 21.66 (31.90) 24.55 19.83 23.22 23.13

LMAO, .04 better than last week, counting 28 killed it

 

[SuperNerd]

I already posted my average, but I have some fail N-perms.
Best solves I got with them are BARELY sub-3.

z U2 R2 U' R2 y' R2 U2 R2 U R2 y R2 U2 R2 d R2.

z U2 R2 U R2 y R2 U2 R2 U' R2 y' R2 U2 R2 d' R2.

EDIT: Aren't these fail?

I recall you telling me a few months ago about how good these algs are, and that I should use them instead of R U R' U J Perm U' R U' R'. I think I can sub 2 with the N-Perm I use.
