It's always fun to be sub 15. Special thanks to Johnny Repp and Dan malissard

15.51

(13.56) 15.93 13.67 16.53 15.77 14.28 15.16 16.32 14.61 17.36 15.48 (18.12)

I've been mostly practicing OH recently...  [AbSoLuTeLy ObSoLeTe TeAm]

Leyan Lo USA 16.36 17.00, 16.97, 15.81, 18.58, 16.28, 16.67, 15.02, 16.00, (14.08), 15.89, 15.38, (20.34) Good job everyone at the Exploratorium!
4 Mat Moitinho de Almeida  16.55 18.15, 14.73, 15.09, 18.34, 15.53, 17.63, 17.98, (19.65), 14.83, 15.97, 17.27, (14.12) Horrible consistency. Pretty good for not having practiced for one month.
5 Ravi Fernando USA 18.33

15.84, 20.22, 17.13, 17.04, 19.84, 16.68, 24.12, (25.12), 16.97, 16.69, (15.14), 18.76

I was almost asleep during this wildly inconsistent average, which was the main cause of putting an F2L edge in backwards on both the 24 and 25.  The 20.22 was a bad ZBLL, and there were no lucky cases.

6 Daniel Duma USA 19.48 17.95, (15.81), (24.54), 20.65, 19.45, 19.03, 21.95, 20.72, 18.69, 19.13, 18.03, 19.18 I'll take it.
7 Julien Brelot France 20.04 21.07, 20.00, (22.55), 19.00, 21.01, 20.41, 20.03, 19.26, 20.07, 19.78, 19.75, (17.66) No warm up and no cube during the week... :s:s:s
8 Pedro Santos 20.06 20.36, (15.92), 19.14, 19.42, 17.69, 18.58, (23.20), 20.52, 21.55, 19.30, 20.89, 23.17 A lot better than last week. I'm happy with the 5 sub-20 times in a row, which would give me an average of 18.28s. Quite good. But I'm not happy with all those 20+ times...have to cut them off...
9 Michael Fung 20.09 (31.87), (POP), 18.08, 19.48, 18.87*, 21.29, 18.23, (17.21), 24.30, 20.14, 19.39, 20.20, 20.90 Timed with "The ultimate Rubik's cube® timer version 2.1". I used Cross, F2L, (C)OLL and PLL. It was a very bad average, not even sub-20. I made too many mistakes :(. The 18.87 was a PLL skip using COLL.
10 Mike Bennett USA 20.34 (15.17), 22.83, 18.87, 21.15, 23.28, (24.15), 18.72, 19.86, 20.38, 18.77, 19.18, 20.39 All set using either Roux, my take on the Roux method, or COLL PLL.  The very first solve was a Sune to end a good VHF2L, but it was an edge perm I'd only just learned last night.  The worst time was also COLL.  About 75% of the solves were Roux.  team [zb]
11 Gilles van den Peereboom 20.72 19.12, 20.30, 19.58, 20.93, (33.61), (16.10), 19.79, 24.28, 20.34, 19.78, 20.40, 22.69

I don't have much time to practice these days, hopefully I'll get back to my best level after the exams. :-)

12 Pablo Ruiz Campos 21.38 20.21, 22.33, 22.88, 21.48, 22.72, (19.33), 21.19, 19.92, 21.52, (23.92), 19.75, 21.76 Lo hare mejor la proxima semana.
13 Ambie Valdés USA 24.69 25.55, (17.86), 25.05, 27.06, 23.45, 21.58, 22.20, 27.45, (POP), (30.55), 27.33, 22.12, 25.08 Done on Friday the 13th.. my best average and single solve! 7th was a PLL skip.

USA 25.02

25.42, 27.21, 23.45, (31.05), 24.15, (20.56), 23.25, 24.71, 22.07, 27.96, 24.97, 27.00

Scrambling and solving 4x4x4 as 3x3x3.  Obviously, I need to work on this...  [AbSoLuTeLy ObSoLeTe TeAm]

15 Chris Brownlee USA 25.87 (18.70), 31.05, 27.42 , 25.78, 30.31, 23.05, (32.20), 28.17, 22.17, 26.06, 19.47, 25.20

if one thing this bad average has taught me is to not neglect my 3x3x3 practice... i've been practing only megaminx the last few weeks.... 

16 Tomas Kristiansson 27.54 28.78, 31.75, 24.48, 26.41, 29.93, 28.70, 28.01, 24.53, (34.28), (21.62), 23.67, 29.14 Very good average, about 2 seconds below my average average, 0.1 above my PB RA :)
17 Jarrod Todd USA 27.88 29.88, 28.28, 29.45, 26.45, 25.14, 28.44, (25.06), (30.01), 27.23, 28.71, 28.88, 26.32 Not too bad for no warm up.  I think this is about my average right now.
18 Teemu Tiinanen Finland 28.01 29.42, 27.22, 26.15, 31.46, (21.37), 26.88, 27.26, 31.12, 29.24, 26.88, 24.52, (32.45) My best average in Sunday Contest so far. That 21.37 felt even faster :/
19 Grzegorz Łuczyna Poland 28.85 32.31, 32.77, 28.59, 25.64, 28.88, (23.14), 24.30, 30.38, 27.28, 29.61, 28.70, (32.92) I have to find faster algorithm for G-permutation. No LCs. Still to much mistakes...
20 Dan Dzoan USA 29.76 29.49, 31.39, (35.63), 28.5, (21.42), 28.45, 28.72, 29.5, 30.99, 34.42, 29.11, 27.06 Some horrendous times =/, i shouldnt be getting those times above 30,  fairly unsatisfied with myself.  i wonder how i did at the sf tourney on the 14th.

25 Sven Gowal Switzerland 34.08 (27.59), 36.91, (41.62), 37.92, 31.22, 34.27, 40.45, 29.06, 29.61, 34.34, 30.61,36.38

Those two over-40 killed my average  :-(. Not happy !!!

26 Emanuele Scibilia 34.58 31.09, POP, 32.62, 32.52, (26.80), 37.89, 38.23, 36.63, 36.15, (45.26), 31.75, 37.18, 31.74 Damn! So much errors! Started good and then the times got bad. Strangely, only now that I've just finished my hands are warm! I don't know what to do... See you next week! Ciao!
