3x3: (14.00), 14.52, 14.36, 14.85, (16.43) = 14.58
No warm-up, and just about average. Particularly consistent though

2x2: 5.33, (5.99), 5.96, 4.61, (4.26) = 5.30
Very happy with my second to last solve, as it had almost 5 tps. Average.

4x4: 1:15.06, 1:14.82, (1:19.43), 1:15.26, (1:13.55) = 1:15.05
Bit better than average, thanks to fairy generous parity. I still want a Mefferts'.

Sq-1: (52.16), 33.68, (28.40), 37.46, 42.74 = 37.96
Scrambles were crazy easy this week; I just did an average of 25 with the best average of 5 still sup-40.

234: 1:41.20
Breakdown of 6-16-79. I lose far too much time in relays because I forget my pre-planned crosses and first centres =/

3x3 OH: (55.68), 50.72, (48.48), 53.20, 51.78 = 51.90
An event I never do. I had to use my normal cube, which is probably a bit stiff for a OH cube.

I might do some more events considering I've gone and crippled myself...

Comment: Nooo, if the 3rd solve isn't a DNF, it's my record avg But doesn't matter, it's a good avg

[rachmaninovian]

3x3: 24.75, 25.72, (26.28), 22.38, (21.15) ---> 24.28
omg my 3x3 times sux..compared to my 4x4 timings these are atrocious..

4x4: 1:01.27, 1:03.41, (1:29.88), (58.97), 1:01.97 ---> 1:02.22
this was after my normal warm up..i like the difference between the 3rd and 4th solves...

Peter V:

2x2x2: 11.32, (12.45), 12.19. 8.46, (7.23) = 10.66 avg.
Comment: Good

3x3x3: 33.41, 30.36, (29.19), (35.68), 30.68 = 31.48 avg.
Comment: O.K.

4x4x4: 2:55.35 (O), 3:25.38 (OP), (2:49.65 (OP)), 3:06.00 (O), (3:27.25 (P)) = 3:14.85 avg.
Comment: Good. Need to work on cosistency, though.

2-4 Relay: 4:32.27 (P)
Comment: No good.

Magic: 1.60, (1.58), 1.62, (DNF), 1.73 = 1.65 avg.
Comment: Meh.

I got my 2x2x2 and 5x5x5 this week so I can compete in more events now.

2x2x2 = (7.65), 9.55, (13.46), 12.53, 11.78 = 11.29
new at this, ortega's fun.

3x3x3 = 31.68, 32.97, 29.21, (34.91), (28.61) = 31.29

4x4x4 = 2:47.15, 2:51.08, 2:34.05, (3:32.78), (2:29.63) = 2:44.09

5x5x5 = 6:23.55, 6:08.34, (6:58.78), (5:51.56), 5.55.94 = 6:09.28
new at this

2x2x2 BLD = 1:36.84, 1:37.33, DNF = 1:36.84
new at this

3x3x3 BLD = DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
oh dear. Close, but it doesn't matter.

3x3x3 Match = 2:36.55, 2:33.03, (3:47.78), 2:41.11, (1:45.06) = 2:36.90
pb single

2 - 3 - 4 = 3:43.58

2 - 3 - 4 - 5 = 10:26.52
relays are hard !

Pyraminx = (17.33), (48.28), 39.28, 39.03, 46.83 = 41.71
still sucky

Snake = 5.69, (4.47), (7.90), 5.59, 5.30 = 5.53
not bad.

I've competed in as many as I can do, the only ones I will miss out are OH and WF (cos I can't do them properly), 4 and 5 BLD, fewest moves (cos I don't know how to do them)

[fanwuq]

Pyraminx
Average: 9.22
Standard Deviation: 1.87
Best Time: 5.44
Worst Time: 12.64
Individual Times:
9.59, 11.31, (5.44), 6.77, (12.64)

Horrible. The first 2 scrambles were incredibly easy, should be sub-8, but I messed up.
The 3rd and 4th are controlled LL skips. The last one was just a difficult scramble. At least sub-10. I'd be fine if I got this in competition.

3bld: 1:45.67, 1:50.47, DNF= 1:45.67
pretty happy with that.
