29.98 33.88 32.74 32.53 31.62

Took the entire thing too quickly and messed up a couple F2L pairs and an LL case.

5x5x5: Average - 169.797
(176.45) 170.37 (162.45) 167.13 171.89

Getting better! :D

My wrist is hurting now (did an average of 12 for the 5x5x5 cube right before this), going to play Dance Dance Revolution. >___>;;

2x2: 3.72
Times: 5.43, 3.28, 3.90, 3.34, 3.91
Wow that went nice. 3.34 was a bit lucky. All easy cases.

3x3: 13.53
Times: 13.00, 12.63, 14.97, (11.55), (16.08)
12.62 was PLL skip. Pretty good.

OH: 25.45
Times: 26.22, (29.33), 23.88, (22.86), 26.25
Wow the 3rd and 4th solves were crazily fast!
Tx to Gilles for the motivation

4x4: 1:07.55
Times: (55.33), 1:09.77, (1:12.16 (O)), 1:09.66 (P), 1:03.22 (OP)
2 good solves and 3 crap solves...

5x5: 2:10.44
Times: 2:08.46, 2:08.19, 2:14.66, (2:18.09), (2:03.43)
Aaaah, total crap!!! :angry:

---BLD---

2x2a: 51.38 that was not the easiest scramble, pretty happy with this.
2x2b: 54.25 same story

3x3a: 2:53.16 very happy with this one, it had a parity which is always a bit of thinking. Good solve with M2 :)
3x3b:

5x5 BLD:
S1. DNF (44:wx.yz)
S2. DNF (36:18)

Tried some new stuff. I messed up the parity fix! I tried something that Hardwick showed me back at G.wiz, the intuitive setup ... borked it. I can tell because all the tredges were solved, just the 3x3 was screwy ... and one center slice. Very Nice!

I've undergone some changes in execution. I had about a 20m memo, and 16m execution. I'm very happy with it all. Like I said Chris and I are testing out eachother's ideas!

It's going excellently!

Speedsolves

2x2x2
Avg: 6.97
Times: (14.08) 07.21 (05.46) 06.59 07.12

Wheeee that are crazy times for me. Now my 3x3x3 results are compensated. The last 3 were quite easy for Guimond. Maybe I should always cube while beeing a little ...eeeeerrrr.... drunk.

3x3x3
Avg: 26.25
Times: 26.33 (31.34) 25.47 (23.74) 26.95

I had only one warmup solve (which was 19.25). Damn it! Last weeks performace was sooo sweet now everything is back to regular here.

4x4x4
Avg: 2:06,54
Times: (1:48.06) (2:30.02) 2:10.75 1:53.43 2:15.45

Weak.


Blindsolves

2x2x2
1st: 1:57,97 ... BAAAD time but the first one is the "safety-solve" ;)
2nd: 1:07,51 Okay :)

3x3x3: 14.88, 14.70, (15.94), (12.41), 15.16 = 14.91
Well, it's sub-15...

3x3x3 OH: 27.62, (34.22), 25.70, 32.22, (25.39) = 28.51
Yay, sub-30!!

3x3x3 BLD: 1:40.03, 1:23.48

I was busy this week so I only did the main events:

Name: Gilles van den Peereboom

Event: 3x3
Average: 19.36
Individual times: 19.13, (23.40), 20.55, 18.40, (17.24)

Event: 3x3 OH
Average: 25.31
Individual times : 24.06, (27.64), (21.68), 27.63, 24.23

-----------
Comment: Too bad I did not warm up more than just the 5 speedsolves. The 3rd and the 5fth solve could have easily been sub20.
I will do better next week. :)

3x3: 27.75
26.80 (38.33) (25.95) 26.59 29.86

the 38 was a G-perm that took me a while to recognize. Then I got half way through the perm and forgot what I was doing...


3x3OH: 66.89

71.81 (76.62) (53.88) 57.55 71.30

Bah, JNetcube screwed up on my 53.88, I pressed the spacebar, not realizing that the timer stop button wasn't highlighted, so I lost 2 seconds. Overall pretty good, considering I never practice it, and I just did a quick warm up.

2x2

Times: 9.61 (6.41) 8.40 (10.65) 8.15
Avg: 8.72 seconds

I was just wondering how I would perform without any practice... Not that well!
I set my new best avg of 12 on the 2x2 yesterday: 6.46 seconds.

Name: Arnaud van Galen, not so succesful 2x2x2 AND 3x3x3 blindfolded solver :(

2x2x2
Times: (10.61), (8.36), 8.53, 9.34, 10.05
Average: 9.31
Comment: Consistent. I am making no progress on 2x2x2.

3x3x3
Times: (25.55), 31.17, 28.97, 27.48, (34.00)
Average: 29.21
Comment: I am mixing keyhole and Fridrich F2L. Keyhole is still faster for me, but I am getting better at Fridrich F2L.

3x3x3 One Handed
Times: (43.19), (1:02.76), 56.85, 49.44, 1:01.38
Average: 55.89
Comment: Same as regular 3x3x3

4x4x4
Times: 1:42.97, 1:35.19, (1:51.70)(OP), 1:34.83, (1:34.77)
Average: 1:37.66
Comment: Broke my best average by at least 5 seconds. I never had so few parities!

5x5x5
Times: 2:32.48, 2:40.62, (2:30.69), (2:55.27), 2:50.57
Average: 2:41.22
Comment: Also my best average ever. Used my old (good) cube for this because I wanted to see if I could still solve a 5x5x5 fast. After the first three scrambles I lost focus but still got sub-3 times. Having a good cube means 15 seconds faster on average (2:55.20 with my new/not-so-good cube)

2x2x2 blindfolded
Times: DNF, DNF
Best: DNF
Comment: Tried to go to fast. First one had 2 corners swapped, second one had 3 corners mis-oriented.

3x3x3 blindfolded
Times: DNF, DNF
Best: DNF
Comment: 5 minutes faster than last week. Memorizing is easier now, inventing setup-moves also. First solve had a B2 on the end of an algorithm that wasn't supposed to be there (middle of the solve, so pretty much chaos). Second solve had a couple of misoriented corners. This is the easiest part, but I mess it up the most :(

Last weeks results will be updated now
This weeks results will be updated tonight
