[Carson]

Round 202
Average: 21.07

Times:
19.13, 20.13, 22.98, 22.78, 24.38, 23.56, 17.24, 18.53, 25.33, 16.68, 28.35, 16.35
I can't really complain, this was a good average for me. I do get annoyed that I always seem to get a few really horrible solves whenever I get really nice solves too. Normal distribution strikes again...

23.25, 22.39, (26.18), 23.09, 19.87, (18.60), 24.76, 21.28, 19.18, 19.77, 20.29, 18.91

Aww man, Carson beat me.

 

[retep]

Round 202:
Average: 23.68 (σ = 2.22)
(28.96), 25.10, 22.03, 23.08, 27.11, (20.41), 23.29, 26.18, 25.65, 20.72, 20.92, 22.71
improvement

 

[Zyrb]

Round 202

21.89, 18.70, (17.67), 20.07, (24.56), 19.48, 20.90, 24.38, 23.56, 21.40, 20.18, 21.30

I am really happy with this, almost a 1 second improvement. I know where I could have done better but still overall good, getting closer.

 

[foolish]

Round 202
Average: 26.25

28.38, 26.37, 26.11, 24.74, 31.49, 20.74, 26.24, (17.55) PLL Skip, 26.42, (31.89), 26.02, 25.98

New PB but my average is improving so slowly :l

 

[emolover]

One handed

Current Average of 12: 20.99
σ: 4.08
Best Time: 16.89
Worst Time: 31.24
Individual Times:
21.85, (31.24), 24.10, 18.89, 23.04, 23.39, 21.08, 19.00, 19.00, 17.64, 21.96, (16.89)

Yeah! I beat Carson this round!

This average was really "lucky" with mostly edge perms, T, and Rb which are fast OH perms for me.

 

[Guitarcam96]

Round 202

Average: 23.74

21.96, 24.63, 22.72, (26.69), 20.91, 22.49, (19.54), 25.73, 25.25, 26.54, 25.15, 22.01

I really need to get better at my cross.....and maybe finally lube my FII...
My first 3 solves could have easily been sub 20 if it wasn't for my cross.

 

[square-3]

Average: 19.49

(26.34), 20.54, 19.23, (15.52), 21.46, 19.06, 19.05, 17.56, 21.80, 21.51, 17.18, 17.49

Inconsistent but sub-20

New PB single and New PB average

Either the times you listed are incorrect or the average is incorrect. I get 43.34 based on those times...

 

[soldii3runit]

I might of did the math wrong or left out a number while adding them up.

 

[Carson]

I might of did the math wrong or left out a number while adding them up.

What timer do you use?

 

[soldii3runit]

I don't have a real timer or computer, I use my PS3 for internet and tthe stopwatch on my phone as my timer and individually do each timed solve and use a calculator to average them out. I think using my phone may be delaying my time a second or two.

 

[CoryThigpen]

I might of did the math wrong or left out a number while adding them up.

... or subtracted somewhere between 5 and 10?

 

[soldii3runit]

... or subtracted somewhere between 5 and 10?

I don't cheat, and even if I do, a 39 average wouldn't make a difference. Even if I cheated down to 30 seconds, I would still be the worst contestant.

When adding up the 12 numbers, I left one of them out on accident, and subtracted 12. That one mistake resulted in the 4 second error.

I'll double check the numbers next time.

 

[Foster Conklin]

When adding up the 12 numbers

You do know that the best and worst times of the average a omitted while calculating the average, Right?
An average of 12 is the middle ten times.

 

[god of rubic 2]

You do know that the best and worst times of the average a omitted while calculating the average, Right?
An average of 12 is the middle ten times.

If you use a timer, doesn't it calculate the average of 12 for you, or does it still subtract the two numbers?

 

[soldii3runit]

An average of 12 is the middle ten times.

Thnx, now I know, maybe that was the real problem.
