Wow - top eight sub-20! Must have been some easy scrambles.

Philippieskezer, chrissyD, HumanDude, Jakube, and AvGalen are all just one round away from graduating. Good luck next round!

Alumni (these people have already achieved sub-20 three times with no over 20 results in between, and therefore are considered to have graduated):

session mean: 20.15

Wow, that was soo close to sub-20, so close that I can almost taste it. The 16 was full step, sune then CW U-Perm, Regardless, I'm getting way more sub 20's (8/12) so eventually sub-20 I will be. I guess good things happen to those who wait!
 
Round 124

21.29, 18.40, (14.63), 18.87, 19.60, 20.22, 19.06, 19.90,(23.26), 21.07, 16.95, 16.10 = 19.15

I done this with my phone on iitimer and did pretty good. Could of had sub 19 but I've been worn out by all the solves I've done today and as you can tell from my sig I've gotten some good averages since the last round
 
Round 124

Average: 22.43

1. 23.89
2. 18.57
3. 20.44
4. (15.63)
5. 25.81
6. (27.99)
7. 18.73
8. 19.55
9. 23.08
10. 26.92
11. 24.65
12. 22.63

I got a new PB in this average so I guess it was okay. Except for the 2 solves that followed >_>
 
holy cow! new pb!
round 124
average:26.95
event: speed
23.92, 27.72, (29.86), 26.75, 25.76, (18.91), 29.77, 28.81, 28.25, 26.30, 28.74, 23.45

and yet the pb was full step!
 
Round 124: 19.45

18.18, 19.82, (24.56), 17.31, 19.24, 21.17, 18.90, (16.89), 18.87, 23.38, 17.60, 20.02

Finally! I hit sub 20 3 times in a row. :)

Best avg5 was 18.46 [=18.90, (16.89), 18.87, (23.38), 17.60]
 
Round 124

19.42, 18.52, 22.90, 20.06, (23.67), 18.72, 21.22, 17.47, (16.97), 20.94, 17.16, 21.50 ==>> 19.79

A lot of lockups in there but I still managed to pull it out. I will need to practice though for next round because this needed a clutch ending for me to get the sub 20.
 
Round 124
22.98
20.95, (34.75), 22.08, 22.28, 22.13, (20.94), 22.95, 22.76, 24.81, 24.20, 24.00, 23.68

Wow, that was bad. Almost every solve involved some clear mistake that cost me several seconds - inserting a pair wrong, doing the wrong OLL, making a few wrong moves on a PLL and backtracking to fix it, etc. It really seems like I have the speed for sub-20 now, but my mistakes are killing me. Pity I'm not willing to practice. (There's that 500 solves for 3x3x3 BLD over there distracting me...)
 
Eish, I haven't done a single solve since my last submission. XD
I've been focusing on my miniatures recently...
Anyway, graduating was a lot easier than I expected. I can remember coming to this thread thinking "This is going to take FOREVER..." but now I'm sub-20, quite subconsciously.

Round 124
Event: Speedsolving 3x3x3; Method: Roux
Average: 17.24 (σ = 1.09)
Cube: Guhong

Individual times:
17.58, 16.93, (19.95), 17.68, 16.14, 17.42, 18.98, 19.02, 17.74, 19.53, (16.08), 16.24

All of my times were sub-20, but I had no sub-15's. :(
Maybe I should try the race to sub-15 now...
 
Round: 124
Cube: Dayan Zhanchi
Times:17.26, 18.15, 20.06, 22.00, 17.01, 20.12, 19.00, 18.56, (16.12), 20.32, (DNF), 17.03
Average: 18.951
Response: Priceless

I am having some trouble with color recognition on my zhanchi, I need to get a half bright set of stickers, it's what I am used to.

Round 124

25.63

1. (21.58)
2. 27.56
3. 24.81
4. 22.95
5. (28.97)
6. 22.62

8. 27.03
9. 27.36
10. 27.83
11. 27.53
12. 21.80

A bit of an improvement from last week I suppose. Kind of strange to get 5 27's in a row. Don't think that's ever happened to me before.
 
Round 124

Average: 23.02

24.10, 23.99, 21.10, 23.60, 20.32, 24.45, (18.57), 22.62, 23.24, 23.32, 23.48, (25.80)

And there was me thinking I was at last going to have a forum average not being 23.xx but it was not to be. Still beginning to move off this plateau, its taking a hell of a lot of practice and work though.

number of times: 12/12
best time: 18.57
worst time: 25.80

current avg5: 23.35 (σ = 0.10)
best avg5: 21.67 (σ = 1.40)

current avg12: 23.02 (σ = 1.26)
best avg12: 23.02 (σ = 1.26)

session avg: 23.02 (σ = 1.26)
session mean: 22.88
 
Round 124

average: 20.74

20.80, (23.36), 20.89, 20.15, 21.96, 18.76, 19.83, 20.37, (18.21), 21.59, 21.82, 21.25

It just seems as if the number 20 is an impenetrable wall that I keep pushing up against. Why do I even bother posting?? When I tried this round again I got an average of 19.48. That's how bad I did this round.


@Bunker: we had remarkably similar times this round! Holy crap our third times were both 20.89.
