Racing to sub-20

[notfeliks]

Round 351
Average: 20.63
21.48, (37.16), 18.27, 19.30, 20.40, 23.01, 19.11, 18.97, 23.01, (17.97), 24.71, 18.08

Argh. So damn close. Pop on the second solve meant that every bad solve afterwards counted, and of course I had one too many of those. So annoying.

Sexysledge into y-perm on the 19.30 made the LL look very skippy, and indeed it is if you y2 and do left handed sexysledge. OLL recog was too fast to think anything other than "oh I might get a skip here" though.
Two of 23.01, and only two solves apart. On closer inspection one was .010 and the other was .011.

Getting faster and hopefully sub 20 next week.

Despite my totally fail times, I thought these were really easy scrambles. Good luck, everyone else.

Average of 12: 19.47

Yay. This was done with my new stickerless CX3. I've done quite a few solves on it now, and it makes me slower by ~0.5s. I'll probably get used to it eventually. Not only was it my first stickerless cube, it was also my first DIY cube. Whenever I tension anything it always gets worse. At least it can cut over 45 degrees... on some sides.

Pretty good average in the nick of time. Every solve sub 20 so yay.

Round 353
Average: 20.16

18.39, 20.86, (17.26), 19.83, 24.18, 20.81, (36.25+), 19.13, 17.63, 18.45, 20.52, 21.82

Seriously... If i hadn't epicly failed the seventh solve with a terrible cross, a pop and a +2 then this probably would of cleared twenty easily. Of course though one too many sup 20s drags it up.
Maybe next week.

Nice! My PB ao12 is 19.35 but really... this scrambles were really easy! Don't consider myself sub-20 though! But more like sub-22
The 3rd scramble is really nice
