I really wish I would have had this past weekend to do some of these, but I had graduation and stuff. ):

Ah well, I still might finish the remaining 70 or so at a later date, depending on what the next round entails.

Okay, now for the next round :D.

Shameless Hijack
There are 50 scrambles included in the spoiler below. The format is see how high of an average you can get!. I was originally planning on getting an average of 5 to be the format, but decided that could be too easy. So out of the 50 scrambles, see how high of an average you can get. For example, you might have a good chance of winning if you can get an average of 12 :). In 1 week, we will tally the scores, and those who have the highest average of 12 wins! In the event of a tie, speed will be a factor. I was going to put 100 in here, but after last week I think 50 will suffice. Work through the scrambles numerically and you can stop after you get an average you don't think you will beat :).

This rewards:
1. Accuracy mainly. Last week you got a speed test, now accuracy!

Special notice goes out to Amos, Mike, Mat, and myself, for doing all 100 last week :). Next time I hijack, it'll be 1000 scrambles. Whoever does the most wins ;). Like?
 
Round 15
1-12: Just did the first 12 solves and all were successfull, so I thought to post them immediately. Also a new single PB in these solves.

21-30: So many bad solves, and also 3 DNFs.
31-50: I stopped doing safe solves. There were some very good ones from 35 - 45, (PB single and Avg5), but the last 5 were horrible.

This started awful the first day, when I was obviously having a bad day for BLD. But the next morning went MUCH better. Then the afternoon was worse again. I picked it back up the following week and suddenly everything was good, but not quite good enough.

Congratulations, Jakube - you beat me - I thought I still had a chance until my memorization failed me on scramble 36. I got close, though! And we had the same overall accuracy!

Longest Average: 20/21, 1:50.94 (30-50)

Best Time: 1:14.85
Worst Time: 4:11.43
Accuracy: 39/50 = 78%
Best Average of 5: 1:33.69 (11-15)
Best Average of 12: 1:41.12 (34-45)

  1. DNF [1:43.94] 2 corners twisted - did case SO wrong
  2. DNF [1:28.44] 3 edges wrong - memorized XB instead of VB
  3. 1:37.43
  4. DNF [2:19.52] 2 corners and 2 edges wrong - I don't know what I did wrong
  5. DNF [3:15.81] 11 edges wrong - I couldn't remember any of them and I actually gave up, which is when I knew I needed to quit
  6. 1:14.85
  7. 1:25.41
  8. 1:34.29

  12. 1:29.15
  13. 1:27.83
  14. 1:33.85
  15. 1:38.08 probably the easiest of all the solves, but I was too paranoid about the average to go fast. :(
  16. 1:50.98
  17. DNF [1:36.32] 3 corners wrong - memorized EJ instead of FJ
  18. 1:19.70
  19. DNF [1:52.46] 3 corners - memorized UD instead of WD
  20. 2:34.85
  21. 1:57.79
  22. DNF [1:27.27] 3 edges - got two images out of order
  23. DNF [1:52.63] 2 edges flipped - didn't see flipped edge
  24. DNF [1:52.13] 2 corners twisted - memorized SD instead of HD
  25. 2:59.92
  26. 1:49.54
  27. 2:40.51
  28. 1:35.33

No I meant highest. Not highest time wise, highest accuracy wise. I tried being as clear as I could when writing the post :).

I think I'll sit this out. Busy with real life stuff, and I'm going to start back up with multi tomorrow, and memo'ing my commutator list :). It's 85% done but finishing the rest of hte 3 alphabet letters will take me 30 minutes.

Okay, I don't understand, then. Do you mean highest up to and including 12, or do you mean highest no matter how high you go? So a 50/50 average would win? It looked like you were sort of saying highest up to and including 12.

If it is limited at 12, does my 11/12 count as much as a 12/12, or does a 12/12 beat it? (assuming times are the same)

If it is not limited by 12, then does that mean I would keep going and hope to get 44/45 if I hit all the rest in a row? And so Jakube's best is 23/24, which is the number to beat now?

Your 11/12 in this race would still be good. Like, you couldk eep going until..for example, you get to your 15th solve and you get another DNF. So you would only have up to an average of 14. Your 11/12 is still a good average! You can still keep going and add up the value.

In the case of a tie such as 11/12 or 12/12, since the average is the same, the average speed will be taken into account.

If the next person tallying doesn't understand the scoring, I'll tally. But it's really simple. Whoever can get the highest average win!

If you would get 50/50 you would win, unless of course someone faster gets 50/50.

The average time would not be exactly the same for your 11/12 and 12/12 example (if by some miracle they were, THEN the 12/12 would win, but that'd never happen)

Am I not explaining well?
 
Yea, your explanation is a bit confusing :P I was under the impression that the person with the largest average would win, until I saw:
RyanReese09 said:
In 1 week, we will tally the scores, and those who have the highest average of 12 wins!
Click to expand...
and then I got confused.

So let me get things straight:
1. You have an 'average' when you have a certain streak of solves with a maximum of 1 DNF in it. (ie 15/15 and 14/15 is an average of 15, 13/15 is not an average).
2. The person with the longest 'average' streak wins (ie 29/30 would win 28/29)
3. If there is a tie, the faster average wins.

IMO you shouldn't even mention averages of 12 in this case, as it makes it confusing. It could be any number.

Also note that with such a rule, NO ONE should have 0 DNFs in the average, simply because if you have, say, 19 solves in a row, even if you DNF the next one it's an average of 20, so 19/20.
Unless of course, you manage to do 50/50 :)

Am I making myself clear?
