When can you consider yourself sub-x?

[CubeWizard23]

When u can get that average in comp or on the forum comp thread several times in a row

I'm not sub-15? D:
You aren't sub-20 either though...
(this doesn't work at all, you are sub 17-18 I think, and I am sub 13.)

Forum comp too basically when u can take any 5-12 solves and avg whatever u avg

There's still possibility for that to be influenced by luck. My last three official averages were either very low 13 or sub-13, yet I don't average 13.

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

I say when I get an average of 100 of that time. I've gotten an Ao5 in the 13 range, but I say I am sub 17 since my best Ao100 is 16.5

 

[starcuber]

the best way to find out u r sub x
is
1. get continuous pb average
2.win a podium on any event u want to sub x
3.doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(i know its tough )

 

[Berkmann18]

I consider myself subX only when I did at least an Ao100 which doesn't end in .95+ but generally when I did have an Ao200+ (doesn't need to be from a single session).

 

[CubeWizard23]

when you can get an x+~3 ao5 on a v1 rubik's cube
also doing this helps ALOT with lookahead

it's pretty hard with roux.

When you want to go to a different site but out of habit go to speedsolving.com

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Eew that looked so locky. As I said Before Ao1000 is what I would use, I have gotten a 15.81 Ao100 before but have recently been at around 16.5 (likely do to me messing up)

Also @ JTM I think you got the wrong thread

 

[LostGent]

Thanks for all the responses on this thread folks. So I listened and have been really working on my solves the last while. Finally got a sub-15 ao1000 thanks for the inspiration!

 

[TheFearlessPro]

yesterday I took on 200 solves. Guess how much time. 8 hours. well maybe 7-8 cuz i did do some other stuff

 

[allanboss131]

I see everyone saying "I average around sub 20" or "I average sub 20 to sub 25"

Can we get back to the original meaning of sub x?
Sub means you are under something, so you can't be sub "20 to sub 25" that would mean you are under 20 to under 25, (if you are then just say sub 25) the better way to say this would be to say that you average around 20-25. Also, if you are "sub 10" you are also sub 20 and sub 30 and sub 1 min. I'm wondering if anybody else has been seeing this and getting bothered by it. I cant think of a great example so I hope you guys understand what I am saying and why it is bothering me.

 

[genericcuber666]

I see your point but when are you sub x? ao12? ao100? ao1000?

 

[allanboss131]

At least avg of 100, probably more. But that's not the point of the thread.

I move that we table this discussion until all cubers are mature enough to use cliches and figures of speech correctly.
