Racing to sub-20

Round 47 (OH):
(24.93), 22.83, 24.90, 23.59, 22.06, 22.52, 23.86, 22.36, 24.56, (19.28), 19.34, 22.28 = 22.83

Not bad considering my recent lack of practice. I used a stackmat to time these.
 
15.44, 19.28, 32.51, 14.71, 13.65, 21.33, 16.80, 19.72, 18.19, 22.38, 18.03, 20.36

worst time:32.51

current avg5: 19.43 (σ = 0.91)
best avg5: 16.48 (σ = 2.00)

current avg12: 18.62 (σ = 2.35)
best avg12: 18.62 (σ = 2.35)

session avg: 34.78 (σ = 15.14)
session mean: 35.26

15.44, 19.28, (32.51), 14.71, (13.65) = 16.48 ao5, very nice ;)

the 32 second was a pop, i just redid that scramble and wnated tosee what my ao12 would have been with no pop
17.54

would have given me 18.14 ao12
would have been an improvement :(

oh well, wtf at some of those early times o.O

edit-ignore the avg/mean because i'm using my brothers QQtimer and he averages around 45 lol

Round 47
Average: 30.43

I can't really complain about this considering the circumstances. I just happened to notice that this was closing today a few minutes ago. I had a few minutes of downtime at work, so I decided to do this quickly before it closed. No warm up, and the 2nd solve was a DNF because I was interrupted, and since I AM at work... it kinda took precedence.

41.60
DNF
31.32
26.00
24.92
31.48
31.87
35.40
30.79
28.30
21.59
22.59

A few sup 30's kinda sucks... but at least I had some sub 25's. The last two solves give me hope.

I think I'm going to join for OH if that's OK. It might encourage me to practice a bit! Right now my best average is only 23.xx so I've got a ways to go!

Average- 24.93
Times:25.91, 25.36, 27.55, 24.41, 23.68, 24.10, 23.50, 24.51, 25.95, (27.80), (23.06), 24.32

I'm stuck around the same times... Need to practice more F2L.
Also, I got the obligatory sup-30 solve... :fp
 
Man I didn't know round 46 closed today at 12:01pm! I wanted to do that, I just saw it last night and didn't have time before I left :P

Anyway, here are my times for this round. I can't believe how well I did (for me). Usually I'm bouncing all around the place, but my highest solve today was 23, that was impressive :P I got a random 13 too lol. I guess I was fairly consistent, I started out at 20, went down to 19ish, then down to 18ish :P

20.69, 20.16, 19.69, 18.19, 21.97, (23.11), 19.90, 19.68, 18.41, 18.11, (13.71), 18.28 = 19.51

Regarding the cross + F2L: I have the exact same issues as you. I still don't like making the cross on bottom unless it's a real easy one. I added you to AIM, we can better discuss things there, instead of take up this thread :P I tried MSN but it said your username was invalid (did not exist).

Was this directed at me? I just now saw this post... better late than never I suppose.
I really don't use any of the messengers anymore, so I just deleted them from my profile... I honestly didn't even realize I had them on here. I only really use the google messenger. If you use it, [email protected]
 
Round 47

(reverse order)
00:26.09,00:21.52,00:21.25,00:24.68,00:28.70,00:25.01,00:25.12,00:23.36,00:19.81,00:20.63,00:21.14,00:21.17

Average 10 of 12: 23.00 second (+0.40 second or so from a week ago).
 
Cube used: DaYan GuHong

22.09, 19.16 (PLL skip, but clumsy), 21.22, 20.02, 24.16, 21.46, 26.63, (19.00, non-lucky), 22.00, 22.33, 20.91, (30.08, severe brain fart on R perm)
AVG: 22.00

Haven't been here in a while, but this looks better than some of the times that I posted when I was doing this regularly. I'm starting to see the value in a warmup, as I tried out the weekly cube contest and only got one sub 25 time.
 
Round 47:
30.00
28.40, 26.18, 38.81, 23.65, 39.18, 27.16, 31.75, 26.80, (23.63), 31.44, (41.53), 26.66

Okay, so James taught me new G perms this weekend, and I couldn't resist trying to use them. And wouldn't you know it? I got 7 G perms, including 5 of the first 6 solves. That ruined my whole rhythm, so I was off on the rest of them as well. I had to do another average 10/12 after this one, and it was a 25.16. So yeah, this was just really really bad luck.

So for this round, I learned new G perms - you can see how much that helped. :) At this point, I'm going to stop learning new things for a while and just try to do lots and lots of solves, to solidify it all, especially the G perms. And practice the new algorithms a lot too.
