2x2x2: 18.25, (11.48) (LL skip?), (26.48), 16.55, 20.75 = 18.52 (using an LBL method)
3x3x3: (35.87) (easy cross and F2L), 48.35, (53.22), 50.97, 50.60
4x4x4: 3:27.87, 3:36.27 (OLL parity - very enjoyable solve), (3:57.46) (lots of hesitations forming edges), (3:20.53), 3:39.37 = 3:31.17 (whooo! a good average for me!)
7x7x7: 19:45.00 (teaching my eldest daughter the 7x7x7 so I did this solve as a demonstration), (17:11.00), 19:22.00 (pop during edges), (20:51.00) (some confusion here!), 18:02.00 = 19:03.00 (yay! sub 20 average - just need to knock 5 mins off before UK Masters!)
Megaminx: 6:20.73 (in semi-darkness!), 6:45.23, 9:08.03 (trying some new ideas, failing at old ones!), 7:24.63 (not great), 7:04.43 (massive pop!)
Pyraminx: 32.26, 52.78 (mistakes!), 24.09, 45.92, 36.62 (pretty bad show - should've practiced)

[Erik]

What's this Erik? Cant even beat a noob?

Come on give me some slack here:P I haven't practised 2x2 (or anything) in ages, I forgot 1/3 of the CLL's again :S, and ur not a noob

[Gparker]

Snake: 18.34, 20.20

there is no snake

[MatsBergsten]

Snake: 18.34, 20.20

Sorry Michael, but Snake is no longer with us.
Some of you seems very fond of him

And I see I'm not the first to notice

2x2x2: 6.08, (3.98), (7.63), 6.34, 6.17 = 6.20

I noticed you haven't been active on the forums. Yeah CLL is annoying.

[DavidWoner]

2x2: 3.16, 2.54, 3.25, 3.97, 1.58 = 2.98
BAHAHAHA what ridiculous scrambles. Sune, a really fun 2gen case, Oll skip to Jperm, the easiest L case, and one where the first layer cancels the first 3 moves of the CLL.

4x4: 57.00, 1:05.84, 53.27, 1:03.59, 58.66 = 59.75
nice!

3match: 1:13.02, 1:12.25, 1:22.21, 1:16.91, 1:10.21 = 1:14.06
I'm starting to rather like this event.

3x3OH: 36.26, 31.41, 29.91, 34.26, 30.34 = 32.00

clock: 7.58, 8.50, 8.31, 7.50, 8.72 = 8.13
hrmph.

pyra: 13.80, 13.72, 12.02, 13.72, 14.06 = 13.75
lol nice sd

sq-1: 16.76, 21.72, 26.31, 22.50, 24.41 = 22.88
meh.

[Neroflux]

hi erm i'd like to join this.

OH:
(27.28), 21.56, 20.56, 25.27, (20.42) = 22.46

both worst solve times were fanwuq's r perm, but dont tell him.

[qqwref]

I was bored so I did some puzzles. But not NEARLY bored enough to do 6x6 or 7x7 (or 3BLD).

2x2: 6.19 (DNF) (5.29) 7.90 6.59 = 6.89
Really bad, dropped the cube off the table on the 7.90
3x3: 13.37 13.81 (11.87) 17.52 (17.68) = 14.90
Good F2L = awesome time, bad F2L = awful time. My second 13.37 today (!).
4x4: 54.56 (56.57) (44.52) 56.12 45.20 = 51.96
Parities: dp np np dp np. Counting 45 = wtf nice
5x5: 1:29.79 (2:27.76) 1:30.58 1:34.97 (1:27.88) = 1:31.78
I remember when this was a world-class average time
2x2 BLD: 1:00.77 48.21 DNF(40.84)
3-cycle orient/permute. Last one was a Jperm off.
3x3 OH: 26.17 28.26 (29.96) 27.79 (25.32) = 27.41
I know, I suck at OH.
3match: 1:00.10 55.78 (43.70) 58.80 (DNF) = 58.23
I decided to use a different method than normal and it worked REALLY well. It was cross, D corners then E edges keyhole style, EO/EP/CP/CO. I tried to have as little to recognize as possible at each step.
234 Relay: 1:38.87
Mixed up the stupid red and yellow stickers on 4x4. I hate these stickers.
2345 Relay: 2:56.53
Better.
Magic: 2.94 2.21 (DNF) (2.01) 2.23 = 2.46
This magic sucks.
Master Magic: 10.15 (DNF) (4.57) 5.00 4.83 = 6.66
Yes, my master magic sucks too. Also it's not reverse strung, so I can't use my fast method (which I can sub-3 on a good puzzle). Blahrf.
Clock: 10.69 (DNF) 14.04 (10.57) 14.41 = 13.05
The 10s were nice and easy.
Megaminx: (2:17.43) 2:23.94 2:41.13 2:37.17 (DNS) = 2:34.08
I average sub-1:30 on the simulator. I hate having to wrist.
Pyraminx: (7.13) 7.61 (17.03) 12.71 9.98 = 10.10
The 12 and 17 would've been better if my pyraminx didn't suck so much.
Square-1: (24.66) (41.19) 40.13 34.98 31.16 = 35.42
Timer didn't start on the first and fifth so I used some other random scramble.
