A good average today !
Jon Morris USA 15.54 16.53, 15.74, 13.69, 16.30, 13.84, 13.67, 16.97, (19.58), 17.62, 14.23, (12.69), 16.80 Times were all over the place this week :(
Edouard Chambon Fance 15.86 15.94, 16.83, (18.81), 15.69, 16.28, 14.31, 15.30, 17.50, (13.99), 15.85, 15.80, 15.15 Not very good ! The cube becomes really hard :s
4 Quinn Lewis USA 16.69 15.13, 16.94, 17.79, 17.75, (11.27), 14.69, 16.58, POP, (19.37), 16.17, 16.99, 16.39, 18.53 11.27: X cross, easiest pairs for the remaining 3, sune, L perm (on the right). New best Average!
5 Mat Moitinho de Almeida Philippines 16.83 14.30, 16.28, 18.50, 15.67, 17.50, 19.08, 19.08, 17.48, (11.48), (19.35), 17.16, 13.25 
Now its sub-17. The 14.30 had a magic F2L, the 13.25 had a magic LL(14 moves) and the 11.48 was a PLL skip.
6 Toby Mao USA 16.88 16.39, 16.07, 18.09, 16.33, (18.71), (15.79), 16.90, 16.80, 17.20, 16.97, 15.88, 18.18 Sub 17!!!!!!
7 Jason Thong Canada 16.97 16.39, 15.45, (21.26), 19.78, 18.93, 15.42, 15.14, 15.53, 15.67, 17.26, 20.12, (11.07) What a load of crap! I don't think I've ever had such a high SD. I have some issues with dropping my cube too. That's what happened twice, on both the 20s. I messed up the cross on the 19. The 11 was a lucky PLL skip. Maybe I'll have more luck in competition ...
8 Darren Kwong USA 17.15 16.46, (14.30), 17.62, 17.97, 15.57, 22.25, 16.07, 18.31, 16.10, 16.22, 14.91, (22.30) RIDICULOUS! could've been a 16.xx avg.. or even 15.xx if a few LL's went smoother
9 Matt Walter Canada 17.38 17.68, 17.26, 15.15, 14.53, 16.22, 17.97, 19.18, 18.29, 20.23, 17.28, (22.72),(13.70) I badly cut two of my finger tips so these solves were uncomfortable with the band-aids and the cuts. I was going to solve one-handed but I can't solve with my right hand. However, I did better than I thought I would do except some algs hurt and were really slow. The 18.29 was a PLL skip. Be prepared for next week!
10 Tyson Mao USA 18.31 20.23, 20.16, 17.80, 17.65, 18.69, (25.23), 18.05, (15.74), 19.26, 16.32, 16.95, 18.01 I was blindfolding and I didn't notice pre-inspection time was set on 4 seconds for the first three solves.
11 Ravi Fernando  USA 18.54 20.65, 16.10, 17.81, 16.58, (21.04), 18.98, 27.18, 19.48, 17.42, 18.85, (14.43), 18.51 This was WAY too inconsistent, especially the 14 (not lucky) and the 27 (not lucky either). ;) I got 19.59 on the 13th one. See my site
12 Leyan Lo USA 18.54 16.98, (16.04), 18.24, 19.06, 22.24, 19.33, (25.70), 19.55, 16.70, 16.64, 20.10, 21.70 I'm happy.
13 Jason Baum USA 19.52 17.78, 20.31, 21.03, 17.12, (17.11), (22.89), 21.91, 19.05, 19.47, 19.53, 20.91, 18.09 I need a new cube.
14 Ton Dennenbroek 20.37 18.90, 21.83, 23.79, (16.03), 19.35, 21.66, 18.58, 19.87, 20.88, 20.32, 18.48, (24.17) Almost below 20 , the last run failed ;(
15 Duane Call USA 20.51 21.85, 20.12, (17.69), 21.87, 19.43, (22.96), 21.12, 20.34, 18.75, 19.09, 20.78, 21.72 At least my times were fairly consistent this week.
16 Alan Chang USA 21.31 19.06, 20.79, 21.13, 24.50, 20.04, 22.31, 20.34, 24.67, (26.62), 20.78, (17.70), 19.43  
17 Gilles van den Peereboom 22.18 (24.57), 19.39, 23.71, 21.09, 23.46, 20.52, 24.12, 23.50, 20.53, (18.44), 24.04, 21.46 SD : 1.76
18 Thomas Bischof USA 22.33 19.64, 22.27, 21.64, (17.28), 17.95, 25.66, (31.36), 19.81, 20.69, 23.08, 23.27, 29.25 First average for almost a month for my. Such a bad spread of times. At the beginning, I was finally seeing ahead, and got three sub-20 times. Then I lost my focus, and my cube started falling apart. So now I get to adjust all the screws and do some serious maintenance.
19 Bob Burton USA 22.79 21.55, (19.94), 23.00, 21.31, 26.43, (27.11), 22.54, 26.12, 22.86, 19.94, 23.52, 20.66 I can't complain...except about those lousy 26.xx and 27.xx solves :P
20 Dave Campbell 22.85 24.33, 21.44, 25.68, 24.84, (19.34), (30.18), 19.67, 23.31, 20.65, 22.46, 24.06, 22.07 My first sub 23 second average. I am very pleased; i thought i had lost it, but perhaps it is back. No lucky
21 Michael Fung 24.02 24.52, (49.83), (18.02), 28.40, 21.54, 27.40, 21.08, 20.76, 25.65, 21.23, 21.25, 28.35 Timed with "The ultimate Rubik's cube® timer version 2.1". I used cross, F2L, OLL and PLL. I made at least five terrible mistakes during this average :( :( :( :( :(.
22 Pablo Ruiz Campos 24.23 23.43, 24.04, 21.92, (27.76), 25.78, 24.90, (20.38), 24.26, 27.58, 22.48, 22.20, 25.75  
23 Abel Brata 24.64 25.27, (19.82), 27.68, 26.06, 21.21, 28.71, (28.72), 23.80, 25.57, 23.33, 20.48, 24.32 My first sub-25 AVG in SC.
24 Alex Mendes da Costa Australia 26.47 24.76, 30.48, 24.06, 30.82, (32.67), 29.89, 25.85, (20.88), 23.45, 25.10, 23.33, 26.95 -2.64 from last week. Inconsistent but some good times.
25 Paul Lin 26.62 24.54, 24.64, 25.96, 25.00, 26.21, 27.84, 30.48, (35.41), (22.68), 27.15, 26.45, 27.89  
26 Wynne Chyou 27.03 25.83, 23.47, 25.25, 27.48, (18.20), 29.83, 22.31, 29.80, 25.06, (33.55), 28.39, 32.86  
27 Tomer Ovadia 28.33 24.97, 28.61, (23.13), 29.66, 28.94, 25.80, (32.17), 25.13, 30.63, 32.17, 31.41, 27.34 Best average. Best single time. But if you look at my times, I lost concentration towards the end. I can definately average 26 or 27 if I tried harder. Last few solves were done with a missing sticker, because I ran out of glue. My biggest problem is lack of looking ahead.
28 Casey Pernsteiner USA 28.46 30.81, 29.42, 31.52, 29.42, 26.82, 27.32, 22.50, (37.32), 23.79, (21.80), 32.61, 30.38 Very bad light. I kept mixing up green with blue. Oh well, it's still sub-30. :-)
29 Giulio Chiminelli 28.61 32.57, (32.92), (22.91), 27.28, 28.44, 30.64, 24.98, 29.52, 27.63, 27.63, 31.99, 25.45 My first contest.
30 Julien Brelot 28.65 29.20, (25.48), 29.53, 27.89, 28.65, 29.96, 27.14, 27.78, 29.86, (31.18), 27.56, 28.98 Not too bad for my first participation :-)
31 Jarrod Todd USA 31.61 33.65, 34.13, (35.43), 31.40, (25.62), 28.43, 33.44, 29.83, 32.18, 27.80, 34.21, 31.06 Improved a tenth of a second over last week. I think this could have been better, but I didn't get much practice this week.
32 José A. Domínguez 31.70 30.70, (25.47), (39.00), 28.83, 27.74, 30.45, 29.49, 32.98, 37.09, 35.49, 26.95, 37.25 Really bad luck in SC.
33 Pedro Santos 31.98 (25.78), 38.41, 35.00, 36.81, (38.98), 32.03, 26.33, 32.53, 27.36, 27.22, 35.03, 29.06 Yeah! Improving day-by-day. My best average at the moment. 5 sub-30 times, very, very, very good average. Maybe I'll so sub-30 next week...
34 Peter Greenwood USA 34.49 35.48, 35.11, 33.80, (40.60), 35.87, 34.91, 30.54, 35.17, (30.24), 32.46, 32.53, 38.98 Not bad for me. I'm happy with it. I even got to use one of my new CLL cases :D Check out my website
35 Cristiano Alba Italy 34.63 35.75, 38.33, 33.99, 33.06, 35.04, 35.75, (26.91), 35.47, (38.38), 33.39, 30.04, 35.47  
36 Emanuele Scibilia Italy 34.81 32.08, (25.87), 28.45, 38.28, (43.99), 36.85, 31.19, 37.84, 41.08, 33.83, 41.25, 27.24 I got lucky this time: the second solve is my new personal best, but it was a lucky solve, and the 31.19 was a COLL skip. Anyway, my hands were faster! :)) So this is my new best average!
37 Ambie Valdés USA 36.24 33.91, (50.09), 29.80, 33.69, 33.29, 49.15, 36.00, 46.11, 32.83, (25.69), 32.60, 34.97  
38 Jeremy Fleischman USA 37.86 36.11, 41.58, 32.70, (48.22), 35.81, 38.09, 37.97, 36.97, 35.08, 42.33, (32.34), 41.91 Well, at least my standard deviation was low. I just recently took apart my cube, cleaned it all out, and then siliconed it, and proceeded to have the best average and single solve of my life.
39 Sachin Shirwalkar 43.49 48.88, 45.62, 36.95, 44.59, 45.36, 47.91, 35.92, 40.86, 39.42, (35.69), 49.38, (51.74) A very nice day it was for me. A good lubed cube and nice fluent F2Ls gave a great avg! My personal best. There were some lucky cases. And only the last one above 50 :(  http://www.civil.iitb.ac.in/~d3sachin
40 Jeff Soesbe USA 43.84 (50.55), 43.29, 42.93, 42.15, 39.36, 41.11, 45.69, 41.15, 47.52, 47.34, 47.32, 39.89 Wow. My personal best average by 3.2 seconds! #2 through #8 was just a stellar run of solves.
41 Peter Douthwright 48.82 46.50, 43.91, 48.30, 45.32, POP, 54.15, 47.30, (62.16), (40.56), 52.70, 47.98, 48.68, 53.35 Not pretty but better than last week.
42 Tomas Kristiansson 50.65 (59.08), 58.49, 56.18, (38.95), 45.92, 51.90, POP, 45.53, 44.44, 53.88, 48.81, 43.46, 57.91 I got my first sub-40 solve! Also new record for average :)
43 Craig Bouchard 57.69 (POP), 60.87, 54.01, 62.64, (49.44), 59.52, 56.51,58.42, 53.89, 58.29, 55.93, (66.85), 56.83 PB average...2nd Sub-60 average ever...didn't think I would get a good average after the first few...Clancy...I BEAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!!HAHAHA...lol...
