The "Real Man's" average of 10.

5:48.96
First time ever doing solves without inspection i think

I got 7:50.81 which averages out to 47.08 seconds for each scramble + solve or 23.54 seconds to solve each cube. This is my first successful attempt because I botched my first one because I could figure out a way to make sure I knew which scramble I was going to do next. Now I just number each scramble and repeatedly say in my mind while solving, "I'm solving number 1, I'm solving number 1," then when I get near the end of the solve I'll say in my mind, "I'm solving number 2 now, I'm solving number 2 now" which apparently does not mess up my solving time. I tried again though and wasn't able to get sub-8 minutes. I want to consistently average sub-7:50 so I'll keep trying.

I tried this, I forget what the time was exactly, but I think it was in the 6:xx range.

Why are people that average around the same time as me [on the 3x3x3] like a full minute faster? Is it because they scramble faster or something?
