A week ago I was trying to get sub 20 and I got alot of 20 and 21 solves.
The cube was taunting me.

Congrats, that's awesome, I just broke sub-20 a few times also. It's really great when that happens, I share your joy

But now the new goal is a sub-20 average, good luck!

 

[shawnlee]

thank you

I remember it took me a while to go from sub 20 single solve to sub 20 average, but that's probably b/c i was lazy finishing memorizing Fridrich and having a cube in poor condition. If you haven't finished learning Fridrich yet (if u use it) do so b/c knowing all OLL will shave your average by a couple of seconds and push you over that 20 second barrier

for me it wasnt a single sub20 solve that made me feel best... (it was lucky), but the first sub20 average of 12. I remember after my 11th solve my average was 19.92 and im like... "this next solve is it. If i don't do it i'll jump off my balcony"
and i got 18.55 or something, jumped from my chair and howled loudly

fun times. i dobut ill be hitting sub10 anytime soon but there will be a little celebration on sub16... 16 seems like a nice number
oh and btw: it DOES take a long time from sub20 solve to sub20 average....

I did exactly the same...

Btw: My first Sub-20 avg felt a bit better than my first Sub-15 average

Congratz!!!

the difference for me between sub 20 single and sub 20 avg was slowing down.

I got sub 20 last week too, was completely shocked, stopped the timer and thought 'that was slow' looked at the time and couldnt believe it.

 

[povatix]

Sub-20 is awesome, but after 3 days of cubing, my first sub minute solve was even better

 

[shawnlee]
