Here's a metronome average. I had it set to 184 and did just F2L on each solve.
Basically since the F2L averages about 30 moves I am shooting for a 10 second average. So times around 10 seconds were the ones where I didn't miss a beat, and times above are ones where I missed beats, or had to do stupid moves like U U' in order to keep a tempo. 10.97, 15.54, 14.43, 16.07, (18.49), 13.41, 13.99, 10.44, 14.21, 12.74, 10.72, (09.73) = 13.25 The 10.97, 10.44 9.73 were solves where I didn't miss a beat at all, and the 10.72 I did miss a beat after doing Xcross in looking for the 2nd pair, but the shorter move count because of the Xcross made it still a good solve. Try it out, it's fun to get a solve with no missed beats. Chris --- In [email protected], cmhardw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey everyone, > > I'm sure most of you remember metronome solving.
