Another decent average.

Edouard Chambon

France 15.11

15.50, 15.92, 14.89, 14.05, 15.28, 14.52, 15.88, (12.88), 14.68, 15.51, 14.85, (16.54)

Today is the day of my new best avg : 13.76 and my new best avg100 : 14.75. My fingers are tired.... I didn't managed to be sub15 :-(
Darren Kwong USA 15.12 13.27, 16.51, 14.50, (19.12), (POP), 13.30, (12.34), 17.59, 14.33, 14.89, 14.96, 14.25, 17.61 damn..
4 Mat Moitinho de Almeida Philippines 16.18 17.44, 16.98, 17.78, 12.47, 16.66, 15.32, (20.39), 14.88, (11.55), 18.89, 17.78, 13.63

What a lucky average!!! The 12.47 was a PLL skip after a cross OLL. the 11.55 was a PLL skip after a 6-move OLL. The 13.63 was a OLL skip followed by a 3-edge cycle PLL. I've been doing really poorly lately and this would have been terrible if it werent for those 3 times.

5 Leyan Lo USA 18.13 16.89, 17.72, 17.68, 18.81, 19.71, 17.02, 17.92, (16.53), 18.30, 18.52, (21.54), 18.72 Very consistent average. Finals week is over!!!
6 Chris Hardwick USA 19.29 20.74, (23.10), 18.44, 19.79, 22.98, (15.96), 18.89, 19.98, 16.12, 17.26, 16.73, 22.02 I guess I should have realized that not practicing ZB for a week would make me pretty rusty at taking a ZB average.  Oh well, maybe next week I'll do better.  Two EPLL skips after COLL this average.  Team [ZB]
7 Vincent Le USA 19.81 (22.25), 21.80, 20.92, 21.45, 17.79, 20.59, 17.10, (16.16), 19.03, 20.67, 19.92, 18.84 First sub-20 average
8 Casey Pernsteiner USA 20.16 18.21, 21.88, 19.39, 21.28, 18.53, 19.11, 21.46, (22.41), 19.96, 19.74, 22.03, (17.65) This is probably my normal average now.
9 Mike Bennett USA 20.81

21.48, 22.72, 19.52, 20.76, 21.69, 19.39, 22.25, 19.74, 19.62, (25.45), 21.94, (18.34)

SD : 1.41  Another mediocre average.  Haven't worked on COLL/ZB all week, though, so it felt foreign.  No PLL skips. :(  Different method for next week's contest. Team [ZB]

10 Julien Brelot France 20.91 20.04, 21.76, 23.05, 20.73, 20.81, (17.84), 21.27, 19.02, (24.42), 18.81, 22.87, 20.76 2 weeks without cube... But not too bad! :-)
11 Michael Fung Netherlands 21.23 21.30, 23.95+, 21.53, 18.02, (28.03), 21.31, 17.37, 20.90, 21.96, (15.63), 23.06, 22.91

Timed with "The ultimate Rubik's cube® timer version 2.1". I used cross, F2L, (C)OLL and PLL. The 23.95 had a 2 seconds penalty. Why are my times always very bad during The Sunday Contests? :(  (For comparison: I did 12 solves just before the contest and these were the times: 22.11 19.77 19.53 20.55 20.04 18.11 18.99 18.31 19.49 21.70 18.40 18.75)

12 François Tassin France 21.55

22.77, 22.20, (24.44), 22.36, (18.27), 19.14, 22.23, 20.41, 22.08, 21.80, 21.00, 21.47

I did well this week
13 Pablo Ruiz Campos Mexico 21.87

21.12, 19.49, 22.00, 23.80, (27.20), (18.61), 22.36, 22.13, 21.52, 22.09, 22.05, 22.09


14 Pedro Santos Brazil 21.99 22.68, (17.24), 24.23, 19.55, 20.54, 22.08, 23.29, 22.74, (24.94), 23.95, 20.32, 20.54

Wow! It's good, considering all that 23.xx and 24.xx and just 2 sub-20 solves. I hope to do sub-20 average one day...

15 Dave Campbell Canada 22.04

20.66, (17.86), 18.76, 20.96, 18.75, 26.44, (26.69), 24.07, 22.15, 25.49, 21.08, 22.03

Holy high STDev, batman! I could not take the pressure after the 5th solve. I was in disbelief at how i was doing, and was quickly brought back down to earth. Still sub 20 after 6 solves has to be a record for me.  The 17.86 was a PLL skip, which helped. A step in the right direction, anyway.
16 Johannes Laire Finland 23.21 21.80, 25.47, 23.46, (27.21), 22.71, 23.94, (18.69), 24.41, 23.24, 21.63, 23.01, 22.47

18 Bob Burton USA 24.89 23.41, 23.49, 19.53, (19.20), 28.42, 21.50, (44.95), 23.81, 29.59, 30.64, 24.23, 24.25

The 19.20 was an OLL skip.  This is my first sub-25 ZB average.  I used COLL with over 50% ZBF2L.  Team [zb].

Do I stick with the method switch all the way to Caltech Winter in Jan? I just don't know.
