dChan: No, you are not disqualified. All average of 5 solves drop the lowest and highest times. Your DNF counts as your highest time.

3x3

Avg: 33.41
Times: 36.28, 31.44, (31.00), (42.50), 32.52

An Okay Average, I'm using a new cube, which is faster, but tends to pop more.


3x3OH
Avg:1:28.55

Times: 1:26.11 (1:11.44) 1:16.69 1:42.86 (2:19.25)

Even though this is my fastest average one handed, i felt a little disappointed. I used my old cube on the first time, then switched to my newest cube. On the last solve, I had total amnesia and screwed up last layer completely.

3x3x3
Times: 24.30, 27.70, (23.91), 25.95, (29.42)
Avg: 25.98

Okay. A little bit nervous because I was filming my cubing session. But also I broke my Avg record before.

Best time is still 1:57, but I'm sure I'll get used to your way a bit and also beat my current best avg of 2:19 with it. :D

2x2x2:
Times: 8.50, 11.69, (13.28), (5.96), 8.95
Average: 9.71
Comment: Difficult scrambles, reasonable average. You beat me Sven! 5.96 was a skip.

3x3x3:
Times: 27.22, 30.44, (27.14), (33.51), 29.04
Average: 28.90
Comment: My 3x3x3 became very bad, so I decided to lube it. You shouldn't do competitions with a just-lubed cube because they are a little sticky on the inside and slippery on the outside. Decent average for me though

3x3x3 One Handed:
Times: 57.21, 53.49, 53.65, (51.85), (1.03.04)
Average: 54.78
Comment: Using a just-lubed-cube is even worse for one-handed. Better than last week, but I can do sub 50 on average. Last solve was all worst cases for the 4 look last layer.

4x4x4:
Times: 1.53.27(O), 1.44.35(O), 1.50.68(O), (1.41.37), (2.06.44)(OP)
Average: 1.49.43
Comment: Using my old East-Sheen, because my Studio keeps popping. I never thought parities had such great influence on my times! Maybe that is because "cutting corners" is not possible on an East-Sheen so my turning speed is lower. sub 1.50, so I am satisfied!

5x5x5:
Times: (2.59.31), 2.46.49, 2.44.76, 2.57.65, (2.33.68)
Average: 2.49.63
Comment: This is by far my favorite cube! My first sub 2.50 average and all solves were below 3 minutes! The last solve had a PLL-skip, but it doesn't influence my average so I think I am ready for Dutch Open 2006 now :) (There was a very strict time-limit of 2.50 then)

Overal: Very satisfied, especially with the big cubes. The results from this week and all weeks before will be up tomorrow night.
