Hey Thom, I understand your reasoning, and since you've shut me out I haven't had the chance to explain...
The time I got the 34 was beacuse: a) I hadn't been cubing for a week(at all) cuz I was studying for exams and my mom had taken away ALL of my cubes...so I had little practice... b) The cube I was using had gone to mush...lockups, it began popping, it was gooey...probably some other factors... I don't count the 22.53 average as my PB average because it wasn't 100% real, I did solves in between (at school...) I did some one night, then the others another night, and it was a rolling average...I count my PB average to be about 24 or 25...not sure exact... Thom, towards the racing thing, look at my previous post about people who watch me cube often...also about the many other cubers who do a 3LLL and get sub-20 times, I believe Doug Reed to be one of them (or used to be) Craig --- In [email protected], "thomkirjava" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You've gotta be sceptical. > > Seeing as how your sunday contest average you have a week before your > 22.5 average was 34 seconds, plus you three/four look, plus you don't > know OLL/PLL.
