EricReese is just one round away from graduating with ZZ. Good luck next round!

Zoé, I'm not counting you as graduated because last round you were exactly 20 seconds, and the goal is sub-20. But since you were so close, I would be willing to change you to graduated if you want; let me know if you do. If not, you still have 2 more rounds to go. :)

Congratulations to everyone!

Round 114

Average 23.98

22.74, 23.47, 23.37, (29.44), 23.68, 24.80, 23.70, 23.54, (20.48), 26.55, 23.67, 24.25

A second sub 24 in the thread, but only just. A good average for me. Each improvement by a second is costing me a lot more practice now. I am definitely leveling off. Need more concentrated training in weak areas, such as PLL attacks etc.

number of times: 12/12
best time: 20.48
worst time: 29.44

current avg5: 23.82 (σ = 0.31)
best avg5: 23.51 (σ = 0.13)

current avg12: 23.98 (σ = 1.00)
best avg12: 23.98 (σ = 1.00)

session avg: 23.98 (σ = 1.00)
session mean: 24.14
 
Round 114
26.51
25.08, 30.26, 30.28, 28.34, 31.34, 21.94, (34.28), 25.83, 19.12, 29.64, (17.65), 23.23

No, this is not some strange new method, this is just a regular attempt by me. It was unbelievably frustrating. My lookahead was absolutely amazing, but I kept messing up OLLs and PLLs. All sorts of different ones, not just the ones that most often give me trouble. Often I would mess up the F2L and have to start over - that was true on all of the 30+ solves. I almost never do this - I don't know what was happening - but it seemed like most of those 30+ solves were clearly on their way to sub-20 (maybe even sub-18) until I messed up the OLL or PLL. So maybe I was just going faster than I'm used to, and the pacing was messing with my memory of the OLLs and PLLs. The 17.65 was a full-step solve, so I was going faster than average when I was doing it right. Strangest average ever for me.

Nope nope, I'm fine staying in the race. Anyway I don't think I'm quite sub-20 yet... this just proves it :p

18.61, 20.99, 22.74, 19.24, 19.56, 17.26, (22.85), 21.66, 21.10, (17.07), 19.11, 22.26 = 20.25

Round 114
Event: 3x3 Simulator

20.87, 20.69, 28.35, 30.62, 33.26, 20.36, 32.35, 18.00, 18.96, 28.94, 29.53, 27.14 = 25.78

Done without doing any practice solves. I kept screwing up and hitting the wrong keys. So frustrating.
 
Round 114

19.27, (17.39), 20.48, 21.29, 23.82, 19.25, (DNF(27.41)), 21.15, 19.91, 19.38, 21.79, 22.85 ==>> 20.92

I wish I could practice more. I usually am tired from work so I can't put in the time I would like to to improve.

YEAH, let Zoé stay in the race so I have a chance of beating her. I am trying to catch up with all the scrambles so far. Old posts now, new posts tomorrow

Yeah, right ! In your dreams ! :D The future is to youth, not to old men that can't remember their age :p I calculated it again, it's 12 to 6 for me !
So I will reformulate : "let Zoé stay in the race so she can keep beating me" is what you should have said ;-)
 
Round 114

27.68

Dayan Guhong
White cross

1. 28.05
2. 28.92
3. 30.78
4. 29.76
5. 26.48
6. 24.88

8. (22.53)
9. (31.48)
10. 30.17
11. 28.11
12. 22.78

First time trying this one out. Guess I was a bit nervous. Seemed like nothing was working right for me. Look ahead wasn't there, messing up my cross, actually screwed up an oll. anyway, not giving up. Trying to make my f2l more efficient as well as memorizing all the olls. Hopefully next week I'll have a stronger showing.
