Jul 19, 2017 at 17:40 comment added Cos Callis @Jolenealaska in your experiment you are missing some of the steps in the article linked to by Jesse Cohoon (above). You allowed the pieces to air dry and set 'at room temperature' for 24 hours. The technique in the linked article goes further than just coating with juice/vinegar but also seals the surface from oxidation (maybe not a 'perfect seal' but good enough). I expect that the exposure to the air in your case vs. reassemble the avocado and wrap tightly in plastic wrap made ALL of the difference.

Jul 18, 2017 at 3:08 comment added Jolenealaska Hmmm. The site you quote looks good, but it recommends lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar to keep the avocado from browning. After my experimentation here, I'm not buying it. The idea of storing the halves cut-sides together makes sense, but I'd recommend Vitamin C instead of any of the acids listed.
