No. That's really not a good idea for someone who averages 50 seconds. That's two and a half hours at best, which most people don't have time to do. Even 50 solves a day is a lot.
Yeah, when we recommend this to other people we should say something like "solve for an hour", instead of do 100 solves. For you, the fast guys, counting speedsolve and scramble it can take no more than 30sec per solve, which allows you to do 100-120 solves an hour but, for me, it takes closer to a minute per solve so, to do 100 solves I need around 1h 45min. I have never checked, to be honest and many days I manage to do 100 solves so, the only answer I have for that is that time flies while I'm solving
EDIT: I just timed a full Ao12 and it took 8:30. Which means around 42sec per solve, including scramble, inspection and solve, with an average solve time of 20.18 (yes, I cannot believe I almost get sub-20 without any warm-up). This tells me 2 things:
- At 7 minutes per 10 solves, it should take me just 70 minutes to do a full Ao100, not 105 minutes as I was assuming above. Of course I would not be solving at this pace for the whole Ao100 so it would be more like 80-90 minutes. For somebody averaging 50 sec you have to add a full 30 sec to each solve, which means another 50 minutes so yeah, clearly more than 2h.
- Second and more important. If it takes me 42 sec per solve, that's 20 sec to solve and around... 10-15 sec to scramble? Do I use as little inspection time as 5-10 seconds? I have to review this more carefully
EDIT2: In fact this tells me THREE things, the 3rd being that I like the scientific method: experiment, gather data, draw conclusions and see if the data and conclusions back up your assumptions.
