Hey Gilles, I agree that the average record is a much better indicator of a cuber's skill.
But, my question is, what if you compile the scrambles for your average all from super easy solves when other cubers provide the scramble? In that case every solve in your average is a super easy scramble. Is that a "true" average for a person's abilities?
