222: 6.373, 8.461, 6.350, (9.171), (5.522) = 7.06 // lol

666: (3:17.554), 3:15.227, (2:51.312), 3:13.290, 2:59.792 = 3:09.44
2-4 relay: 1:26.338 // meh
2-5 relay: 2:57.707 // I think this is my first sub-3:00
2-6 relay: 7:31.209 // terrible
2-7 relay: DNF(11:23.733) // 222 was two moves off lol
OH: 26.813, (32.917), (22.377), 24.333, 29.945 = 27.03
MTS: (50.123), 52.055, 53.948, 57.277, (59.211) = 54.43 // pure sub-minute
FMC: 32
3BLD: 4:32.216, DNF, DNS = 4:32.21 // lost 20+ seconds to review because neighbours's kids were being noisy; will try the other scrambles later
Megaminx: 1:41.180, (1:44.116), 1:39.519, (1:33.399), 1:42.842 = 1:41.18
Square-1: (26.125), 29.587, 41.110, (49.146), 34.357 = 35.02 // sick consistency

Pretty okay other than 222 and 555 so far.

Got too caught up in an early skeleton attempt (got a 38 and 37 out of it, both with optimal ZBLL finishes) and didn't have much time to explore other stuff. There was a nice 223 on the inverse I found near the end of the hour, but whatever.

 

[One Wheel]

7x7x7: 7:02.95, (DNF), (7:02.08), 7:44.62, DNF = DNF 2 PB singles
6x6x6: 5:00.09, 4:40.44, (4:36.87), (5:39.99), 4:45.67 = 4:48.73 PB Ao5
5x5x5: (2:54.45), 2:44.16, (2:15.82), 2:34.43, 2:33.18 = 2:37.26 Another PB single.
4x4x4: 1:35.14, 1:37.62, (1:57.75), (1:27.48), 1:48.82 = 1:40.53 Ouch!
3x3x3: (34.74), (26.97), 32.91, 27.07, 32.14 = 30.71 Meh.
2x2x2: 9.64, 10.10, 10.15, (8.76), (11.20) = 9.96 Lol.
2-3-4-5-6-7 Relay: 17:07.14; 12.96, 26.82, 1:42.86, 2:30.37, 4:43.62, 7:30.48 PB 2-7 relay by about 54 seconds. I can still shave at least 20 seconds each off 4x4 and 7x7 without getting any really exceptional solves.
3x3x3 With Feet: 1:59.90, 2:21.06, (2:26.30), 2:26.01, (1:54.88) = 2:15.66 more meh

The FMC solve by Keenan Bruce (keebruce) is just the inverse scramble. (Also his 2x2x2 BLD is significantly faster than his 2x2x2 and his Skewb solve 3 is so much faster than the rest of his solves as to be unbelievable.)

Is there a way to hide your real name at the rankings?

I changed the FMC solve. It looks like he had already corrected the other solves by the time I saw this.

Is there a way to hide your real name at the rankings?

I'll PM you.

 

[CBcuber86]

Just curious, are you going to allow inspection with hands for feet solving because the WCA legalized it?

 

[Mike Hughey]

I see no reason why we shouldn't change with the WCA. If there are no objections, I will edit the rules to reflect the new WCA regulations on inspection for feet solves.

I dont do feet, but if I did, I would want to inspect with my hands.

Also, I feel like the scramble list is quite long. Maybe we should use spoilers?

Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?

 

[Mike Hughey]

Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?

I thought of the possibility a while ago, but I honestly prefer it without spoilers. It is better for printing, and for quite a while I would print the scramble list and write my results on the printed list, then enter the results at the end of the week.

That being said, if there is an overwhelming preference for spoilers, I can certainly add them.

I honestly want spoilers if I can't use the comp website for whatever reason.

Maybe put it in a poll next week and see what people's preferences are.

Although I must say that I don't want spoilers; I like the format as is. I would be okay with spoilers if they were implemented.
