2x2
7.39, (5.70), 6.88, 6.71, (9.37) = 6.99

4x4
1:29.33, 1:42.94, 1:36.42, 1:17.47, 1:33.66 = 1:33.14

OH
1:14.58, 1:06.03, 55.60, 50.87, 1:01.65 = 1:01.09

2-4
2:39.35

2-5
6:55.48 I'm super slow in 5x5

Pyra
13.11, 9.48, 16.87, 6.13, 12.74 = 11.78 Locked up all the time

Skewb
8.27, 9.75, 11.06, 15.56, 12.46 = 11.09 Skewb was good, pb avg I think

Square-1
36.52, 57.76, 1:25.09, 56.79, 43.74 = 52.76 Three fails (failed an algorithm and had to go back)

2BLD
1:24.37, 59.96, DNF

FMC
46 moves
Scramble: R2 U R' L2 B' R2 D2 L D' L D2 B2 L' U2 R' F2 U2 L' D2 L'

R' D R2 D2 U' F R2 F' (2x2x2)
U2 L' B2 L B (2x2x3)
F U' F2 L F L' (F2L-1)
U' L U L' U' L U L' (F2L)
R' U' R U' R' U2 R U (OLL)
B U' B U B U B U' B' U' B2 (PLL)

Solution: R' D R2 D2 U' F R2 F' U2 L' B2 L B F U' F2 L F L' U' L U L' U' L U L' R' U' R U' R' U2 R U B U' B U B U B U' B' U' B2

I've been doing fmc for just a few days/few attempts. I'm perfectly happy with this result, I managed to build a good last layer for being done with cfop algs. I've not yet learned to do commutators for edges, maybe I could cut some moves by learning them.

3BLD
4:07.18, 4:02.96, 4:09.89

Yayy, I've learned to finish my solves and not to leave a flipped piece somewhere. Couldn't be happier with this. Last week I made a pb single of 5:00 (two dnf:s) and now I beat that three times, getting almost sub 4. I'm getting somewhere. I still use OP edges, should start practising M2 properly.

3BLD: 1:56.723, DNF, 1:54.48
4BLD: 13:21.22, DNF, 15:04.805
5BLD: DNF, 34:07.89, DNS //Yay first 5BLD success!!
mBLD: 6/7 46:49.61
First two letters of my first cube were ‘CO’, but for M2 edges if O is in the second position, I need to execute it as E (forgot to do this) – Memo and Recall was perfect though!
3x3 OH: 49.13, 45.92, (2:21.48), 54.21, (44.64) = 49.75
3x3 MTS: 1:29.57, (2:05.06), 1:33.10, (1:22.65), 1:32.33 = 1:31.66

2. U D' L' R' U' R D' U' U D' U'
Erm what's going on with this scramble??

FMC: 49

Solution: B R’ B’ R D2 F L’ B L B’ L F’ D2 U B R B’ R’ U’ R D B D’ B’ R’ L’ B’ L D’ B2 D L B L’ B L2 B L B U’ B L U’ B2 R’ F D2 R2 D’

Explanation: (Inverse Scramble)

D’ R2 D2 F’ R // 222 (5/5)
B2 U L’ B’ U // 223 (5/10) – good so far
B’ L’ B’ L2 B’ L B’ L’ D’ B2 D L’ B L // F2L (14/24) – yeah not so good
R B D B’ D’ R’ U R B R’ B’ U’ // OLL (12/36) – ouch CFOP
D2 F L’ B L’ B’ L F’ D2 R’ B R B’ // PLL (13/49) – ew G perm

Yeah good start but I’m still using CFOP to finish because I haven’t bothered exploring proper FMC finishing techniques
