That's alright, Chris. anything between 22:00.00 and 22:00.99 would not have really been noticed, at least by me. I just thought it was 'funny' how it was exactly (to some degree) 22:00.
Wow! That is really amazing. So far from his average though.... 55.70 seconds. They're not even close to the rest of his times.
Actually, with stackmat timers, it's not, according to a relatively recent thread.What's the probability of getting a 20:00.00? Roughly the same as getting a 19:59.97. It just looks weirder.

I'm sure this is in the regs if I could be bothered to look it up... Are you allowed to take off your blindfold to stop the clock? As long as you don't make any moves on the puzzle? I wonder because I've seen people pop in competition and then try to get a perfect 00:30.00 or some such. I'm sure this wasn't the case, but if Mike took off his blindfold, saw 21:5x.xx and then tried to stop the clock on 22:00.00, then that would be doubly awesome.
.Riiiiight... The stackmat turns off after ten minutes.What's the probability of getting a 20:00.00? Roughly the same as getting a 19:59.97. It just looks weirder.

Have a look at the posts above you, you can't get a 19:59.97
oh darn. I guess that makes my previous point invalid as well. :/Riiiiight... The stackmat turns off after ten minutes.What's the probability of getting a 20:00.00? Roughly the same as getting a 19:59.97. It just looks weirder.
