19.18 AO12

Includes one giant fail where I screwed up an R perm and had to redo stuff, and a timer fail. I didn't inspect for too long or anything, but the timer didn't start. Apparently I didn't do a good enough job of hitting the space bar. And I'm ashamed to admit that I redid that scramble. The redo turned out to be my best time, but I don't think that's because I redid it. Even though the timer failed, I could feel that it was a fast solve the first time through as well. It was easily sub 20. The solve that was redone (the 11th solve, 16.39) would've had to be over 24 seconds for the average to not be sub 20, and it wasn't even close to 24 the first time I did it. So, I guess I'll just let Mike decide whether to count this average or not. Wasn't intending to cheat by redoing the solve.

Also, I forgot to do the average last week, but the average before this was also but 20. Do the 3 consecutive sub 20 averages have to be consecutive weeks? Or just consecutive attempts?

I'll let you decide whether or not you want it to count. If you want it to count, it will count. If you do not edit out these results, I will assume you want it to count and will count it.

And as for graduation, that is based entirely on your most recent 3 averages posted here, no matter how much time is between them. I do not consider the amount of time between your attempts. So if you have one attempt 6 months ago, another last week, and a third this week, and all are sub-20, and you did not enter any results in between those three attempts, you are considered to have graduated.

How is it possible for this to be so bad? Earlier this week for the Weekly Competition I got a sub-20 avg of 5, where all 5 solves were sub-20. And now this. Ugh.

 

[DAoliHVAR]

hello,I realise i haven't been entering in these weeks,i have a lot of work in school and no time for cubing
if i get sub 20 when i am able to join back,will it count as 3 weeks in a row?

Yes, if your next entry here is sub-20 (whenever you next compete), you will have graduated.

My gosh, this was bad. I think this is how I know I'm getting close to a sub 20 global average: I got a sub 20 fail average. And I'm glad we're using average of 12, because the mean of 12 wasn't sub 20. Lol. On the first solve, I was lured in by the cross on D, which looks good at first glance but is actually hard to one look.

So I realize that these times are not even close to putting me at sub20, but I am hopefully going to be consistently sub25 in the next week or so and I thought I would go ahead and start doing these scrambles as well. Something to keep my busy and another goal is never bad. I have been hovering around 25 second average for about a week now.

Round 383. Weird evening! I was averaging sub-24 earlier then slumped to sup-29 after eating and drinking.

I decided to try my old Zhanchi which I haven't used in months and I was instantly sub-24 again!
