    Results from last 2 weeks will be available now and tonight in this topic:
    http://z12.invisionfree.com/rubiks/i...?showtopic=614
    As always: Competition starts now and ends sunday/monday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line.

    This weeks competition doesn't include some Other events for competition yet because no event has gotten 10 or more votes yet. If you want more events, please vote in that topic! Some puzzles ALMOST have the 10 votes, so you can make the difference!

    3x3x3
    Times: 32.76 29.81 28.87 (33.56) (28.65)
    Average: 30.48

    This is with block building F2L. I switched from Fridrich F2L because block building is more fun for me. As evidenced by my times, I have lots of room for improvement. Also, it's 1 am where I live.

    3x3x3 OH
    Times: 49.79 1:04.75 (38.64) (1:10.14) 55.98
    Average: 56.84

    This is also with block building F2L. I also switched hands after every solve. My first three solves all had the same OLL. My third solve was nonlucky; it was fast because I managed to do well on the F2L.

    4x4x4
    Times: (2:47.25) 2:36.25 2:12.98 2:27.73 (2:06.62)
    Average: 2:25.65

    I haven't practiced in so long! I just finished sanding the pieces. I decided to sand them because I noticed that the edge pieces were catching on the corner pieces, so I smoothed off the edge pieces, but now the center pieces are catching. I also get a lot of pops.

    4x4: 1:01.41
    Times: (57.02) (P), 58.56 (O), (1:15.11) (OP), 1:04.78 (O), 1:00.90 (O)

    Well, it is sub-2 so it's good :)

    -BLD-

    2x2a: 45.80
    2x2b: DNF (tried to go too fast there)

    3x3a: 2:28.43 = PB :D memo was in about 1:15

    3x3x3: Average - 30.98
    33.94 (35.91) (24.16) 26.24 32.75

    Tried going as fast as I could for all the solves; as it turns out, it works well about half the time... Couldn't find an easy cross on the 5th solve, though. 5 second SD, eww...

    4x4x4: Average - 1:59.88
    (2:06.34 OP) (1:50.83 O) 2:03.16 O 1:56.95 1:59.53

    5x5x5: Average - 2:46.04
    3:04.92 2:36.08 2:37.11 (3:11.41) (2:24.89)

    ...Wow... But a rather horrible 20 second SD.


    Lots of room for improvement all around! :D

    Avg. 28.40
    Times. 28.38, 29.06, (28.78), (36.47), 27.77

    I decided I had better start doing this now if I ever want any chance at all of being up there in the leaderboard.

    3x3x3 Avg: 29.20
    29.65 28.35 29.61 (27.65) (34.06)

    Did X-Cross on 2 and 3. 5, I did a weird x-cross thing that killed a bit of time, as well as locking up the PLL. 1 had a PLL skip, but only after 2 OLL algs (I got the first one wrong :rolleyes: ) Pretty consistent.

    3x3x3 BLD
    6:34.83 +2, DNF
    Can I get half credit for the first solve? It was 6:34.83, but I suppose it's a DNF because I was a U turn off (though I believe is a rather debated issue whether or not this should be a +2 or DNF). Would've been a new PB, too. Second solve, I made an incorrect setup move and stopped the timer before I finished. It turns out that I also made a memo mistake.

    Not a good day for blindfold for me!

    I'll do 4x4 and OH later.

    Although I personnaly think a blindfold-solve should always be fully solved, the official regulations disagree. So please edit your post to make it a 6:34.83 +2
