(Ignore the scrambles) I dropped about a second since my mini-break and BLD optimization. Surprising. Only know do I realize how urgently I need to learn those faster PLL's and OLL's.
 
Tenth Batch = 24.84 avg.

25.18, 22.06, 30.58, 24.86, (33.81), 22.65, 26.75, 20.47, 27.90, 25.69, 22.22, (20.00)

PB AO12! Getting better...
 
Fridrich times:
number of times: 12/12
best time: 20.00
worst time: 32.14
current avg12: 23.72 (σ = 2.08)
24.00, 22.37, 26.61, 20.79, 23.84, 24.77, 32.14, 23.62, 20.00, 27.56, 21.00, 22.62

Ugh...I haven't really been practising Fridrich recently.

ZZ times:
number of times: 12/12
best time: 27.54
worst time: 52.14
current avg12: 34.90 (σ = 5.75)
40.85, 28.41, 52.14, 36.38, 31.20, 37.26, 29.55, 40.19, 27.54, 45.78, 30.58, 28.75

Inconsistent, I know. Still getting used to the bigger EOLines and certain blockbuilding cases. It wasn't too bad though. Only like 11 seconds worse than the Fridrich one, lol. Note that my inspection times are still over 15 seconds. I try to do the EOLine as one step if I can, though.

:o:o:o:o:o:o At least COLL helped me a bit. I haven't been practicing since last week!
 
ill rejoin this once i finally decide im going to seriously start timing again. For now im learning the CMLL, and improving inspection to solve FB, and look ahead for SB.
 
20.49, 26.99, 23.95, 24.79, (31.77), 23.15, 20.88, 25.75, 24.02, 25.10, (17.15), 20.39 = 23.55

would have been much worse without those last two solves, still not that great of an average though.
 
DNF
24.62
25.00
DNF (Stupid 5-piece pop)
28.82
25.18
32.00
24.54
27.02
25.14
25.10
27.82

Avg (Disregarding DNFs): 26.52s

Wow. First DNF, I was completely flustered and ended up doing the wrong PLL and thinking it was solved. Second DNF, 5 pieces popped at one time, and in the flurry to put it back together I hit the spacebar and stopped the timer.

Other than that, times were a little higher than normal.
 
11th set of scrambles:

(27.38), 27.21, 24.69, 24.58, 25.41, (22.41), 22.78, 26.66, 24.86, 24.46, 22.56, 23.33 = 24.65

Awful. For some reason, I seem to have become a full second slower in the past week. I guess I am trying a few new things, and I'm not used to them, but still, it's frustrating that they're hurting my times this much. It's not just for little averages like this - my whole average for the past week has been right around 25 seconds, about a full second slower than it had been for the previous few weeks. :(
 
Not another one to do. :O

Nah, it's fine, just more practise. :P

Koreancuber, don't be so modest, it's not just the lack of cubers, it's just that you're close.

I've foregone any hope of becoming sub-20 in the near future, by switching methods completely.
 
11th
22.57, 22.62, 22.67, 22.54, 28.32, 24.84, 21.46, 21.31, (20.78), 23.25, (27.07), 21.46

CMON CMON SUB 22!!!!
current avg12: 22.98 (σ = 1.68) D:<


I really like this thread btw :)
