In Rubik's cube competitions I think you solve the cube 10 times, and then the fastest and slowest times are dropped and the remaining 8 are averaged together, and that's how they get those times. It's not perfectly fair, since the starting permutations are different for different contestants, but it does a good job at figuring out who the fastest solvers are.
