So, here's how this competition works. I'll post 24 scrambles a month (generated by CCT), and you solve each one and take a 22/24 average. For those of you who don't know how, take off your best and worst times out of the 24 solves, and then take the mean average of the remaining 22. Programs like CCT (temporarily hosted here) can work this out for you, with a little bit of fiddling with the settings (changing the average from 10/12 --> 22/24). Also, this can obviously be done manually too, or even easier by a program such as excel. The results will be edited into this post as they come in, and then numbered at the end of the month so you can see where you came.

NOTE: Post your results in this thread in the form
Code:
Name: Average (Best time, Worst time)


P.S. This is just for the 3x3x3 speedsolve. If you want to do other events, do them in AvGalen's weekly competition.

Thanks, Jude.

Oh wow

20.03 (15.41, 24.63)

If only I didn't sand my cube, it's turning horribly now...
But I think I'm sub-20 once my cube gets normal again.

short results: Jun: 22.91 (15.91 28.81)
long results:

I did all of the monthlies in a row, twice.
I did the first 3 months with keyhole+4LLL, then had a small break, then did the last 3 months with keyhole+4LLL
After that I took a small break and did all 6 months with regular F2L and (almost) 3LLL

Conclusions:
1) Warming up helps for keyhole, but not for regular F2L
2) Keyhole+4LLL is still faster for me than F2L+3LLL
2) I have very inconsistent solves, but very consistent averages
3) When the sunlight is going and the temperature starts dropping I start sucking (final average, jun F2L)

Keyhole + 4LLL

Damn. Just thought that could do it but :D 40 sec times for warmup :D SO BAD :D I'll try it when I'm more awake :D (just waked up)

// So... :D
Uku K: 32.87 (17.39, 43.11)

at the first I got this magical big pop.. 3 pieces went :D Luckily they flew on a table. so 43 sec :D
Second was Y perm :D I'm still not used to hit this spacebar (laptop was so muvh better) and after those new PLLs :D Like I'm not sure if they do the job :)
Bad times mostly cause I had too many G perms.. which I have to do with 2-look :S
After the times went better and new PB single and RA 12 too :)
