[Unofficial] Simon Crawford - Square-1 - 19.70 Average of 12

[MTGjumper]

First thing's first, I apologise for the terrible angle. This average was rolled from an average of 25 (of 20.77 for what it's worth) and my camera slipped midway through, but I never realised. However, you can make out most of what I'm doing =P

Average: 19.70
Standard Deviation: 2.48
Best Time: 14.29
Worst Time: 24.37
Individual Times: 18.27, (14.29), (24.37), 17.01, 17.11, 22.70, 22.76, 21.83, 15.34, 20.82, 20.00, 21.19

Anyway, if I replicate this as UK Masters, I will be a very happy camper =D Also, notice how it's a 19.xx average without any 19.xx single solves =P

Cube: MF8 Square-1
Music: The Killers - Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Remix) / Questions with the Captain (hidden song)

Edit: fixed Youtube vid

Is it just me? I can't see the video o_O

 

[4Chan]

Neither can i. o:

I wonder why.

 

[MTGjumper]

Fixed I put the entire URL in rather than just the video code bit.

 

[4Chan]

Ah! I can see now.

Youre right, the camera angle is a bit awkward.
But youre still quite fast, your turns are so... graceful? (dont know an adjective)

Also, NICE MUSIC CHOICE!
Its such a nice twist on a familiar song.

 

[Escher]

Good average right there I'd like the NR to be like this please!
What's your PB of 5/12? You've probably already told me but i forget

 

[MTGjumper]

5: Low 17s or high 16s probably, but I don't really keep track of averages of 5.
12: 18.59, got it yesterday

The first 5 solves roll out to a 17.46 average, for what it's worth.

 

[joey]

I suggest you don't get the NR.

 

[MTGjumper]

Poor Joey

How about top 15 in the World instead? That would be nice

 

[CharlieCooper]

well this will be an interesting square 1 round this weekend. i forget when it is...

i will be happy with sub 2 minutes

i think a win is in the bag for you, well, except for the fact that lars will be there!

 

[MTGjumper]

What does lars actually average, normally?

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Low 20's if I recall correctly.

 

[jazzthief81]

Best average of 12 at home is 23.7 seconds and I get 25-26 second averages in competition semi-regularly.

It looks like Simon is in a league higher than me, but I'll try to give him a good challenge

*grabs his Square-1 and starts practicing fiercely*

 

[CharlieCooper]

well sometimes you just get those good days don't you lars? we'll fire you up with some look at lars action.

edit: sent you an sms.

Lars is so humble I owe most of my ability to your resources.

I actually only got really serious late May, when I was averaging about 30 secs. Cubeshape just "clicked" and I changed my turning style.

Simon, that's insane. looking forward to watching you solve this at the weekend. I really suck at this (over 2 minutes) so maybe you can show me some tricks etc.
