Racing to sub-20

[Schmidt]

Schmidt : Round 296 : 22.35 (σ = 2.02)

24.16, 25.18, 23.80, 20.41, 17.38, 24.22, 21.21, 23.52, 21.69, 18.61, 24.69, 21.19

@Mike: I don't like to learn new algs! I've known full OLL for more than a year, and since then I've learned a few new PLL's for OH and some SQ1 algs. I tried to learn CLL for 2x2x2, but it won't stick.

And, if you don't mind answering, how many sub-20 ao5/ao12 have you had in this thread?

@Mike: Relax and slow down, no need to learn every alg in the book I still use 2LOLL. Mainly concentrate of the F2L pairing.

I'm surprised it was this good after a week of vacation and no warm up. Just realized also I got a new PB Ao5 = 24.52!

Edit: Also realized it's a new PB Ao12!

I haven't been practicing so much lately. Due to easter and all. So I lock up like crazy. Oh well, pretty normal average for me nowadays.

And, if you don't mind answering, how many sub-20 ao5/ao12 have you had in this thread?

I've had quite a few ao5s along the way, I think. I've also had several ao5s in the weekly competition. I've only ever had a few ao12s at home, and never in any competition, including here. But I'm really hopeful that once the new OLLs gel, it might happen soon for me here.

@PeelingStickers: My reason for relearning the OLLs is not for the sake of the OLLs; it's for another reason, and I think it's actually crucially important. I really think this will be my big breakthrough once I finish it. The reason is that my old OLLs encouraged bad (or perhaps I should say lack of) fingertricks, which then carried over into the rest of my solve. With my new OLLs, I'm encouraging good fingertricks, which will hopefully carry over into the F2L phase as well. I can see it's helping me a lot, but I'm just making lots of mistakes at first. Eventually it should really pay off.

Wow, that was better! I think that with all the practice I did during down time at UIUC and a few extra hours I've put in this week have led to my new OLLs starting to get solid. I still had a couple of big time lags while recalling algs, but for the most part this was a very smooth set of solves. Almost 4 seconds better than the previous round!

Dat consistency. :O Only one sup 24 second, but only one sub 20.. i had lockups on a couple of solve and messed up my EO on the 27 second, i wanted more sub 20 but nice average though

Schmidt : Round 297 : 21.03 (σ = 1.96) PB

ao5 : 19.55 (σ = 1.19) PB (2nd sub-20)

From now on I will have a cup of tea when I solve cubes, as it seems to help
