Weekly competition 2009-40

[Faz]

Doing all these OH (stupid wrist)

2x2: 9.47, 3.78, 10.33, 6.13, 8.52 = 8.04
Lol scramble 2
3x3: 27.22, 21.39, 21.25, 20.39, 21.77 = 21.47
Meh
Sq1: 42.67, 44.45, 47.19, 1:00.52, 30.41 = 44.77
Easy scrambles
Pyra: 14.66, 11.92, 9.39, 13.83, 17.11 = 13.47
2h
3x3 Oh:

3x3 feet: 4:21.56, 4:27.95, 4:38.14, 2:59.83+, DNF = 4:29.21
On the 2:59 I used a homemade ZBLL alg. ( R U2 R' F2 L F2 L' U2 L' U2 L ). Feet is slow.

 

[JustinJ]

3x3: (18.44), 18.11, 13.27, (12.24), 15.76 = 15.71

HORRIBLE considering the 13 and 12 were PLL skips.

2x2: 2.91, (2.61), 3.16, 2.93, (3.25) = 3.00

Nice scrambles last one was my favourite.

3x3x3 FMC: 39 moves.

Probably could have cancelled at least 2 more moves, but I don't feel like doing insertions. The 2x2x3 block sucked beyond belief. At least I saved it with a respectable F2L finish.

[MTGjumper]

Doing all these OH (stupid wrist)

Sq1: 42.67, 44.45, 47.19, 1:00.52, 30.41 = 44.77
Easy scrambles

That can't be OH.

 

[amostay2004]

2x2 : 5.60, 5.20, 6.88, 6.38, 6.83 = 6.27
Good

3x3 : 15.26, 13.56, 12.00, 12.48, 14.53 = 13.52
3rd and 4th scrambles were pretty easy

4x4 : 1:11.47, 1:06.96, 1:04.79, 1:04.29, 1:16.75 = 1:07.74
Not good, not too bad either

5x5 : 2:47.11, 2:14.34, 2:14.78, 2:14.13, 2:09.10 = 2:14.42 (σ = 0.27 )
Crazy SD but bad average. Haven't been practising 5x5 in a while..

3x3 OH : 27.63, 30.95, 46.52, 36.65, 22.02 = 31.75
Terrible. Messed up G-perm on 3rd solve..nice single though

3x3 BLD: 2:12.58, DNF, DNF = 2:12.58
Sis came and disturbed me on my 3rd solve

 

[Inf3rn0]

2x2: 14.98, 14.15, (DNF), 14.43, (13.64) = 14.52
eww DNF i dont know what happened, around 14-15sec is normal avg for me.

3x3 OH: 1:10.71, 1:15.17, 1:12.92, (1:23.81), (1:08.15) = 1:12.93
Um yep im happy with this.

3x3: 35.03, (26.20), 31.84, (51.76), 36.81 = 34.56
Yuk. Someone nudged me on msn during the 26.20 so couldnt stop the timer it would have been quicker. Pop during 4th solve last two turns of j perm, a corner fell under my desk so i had to find it *sigh*.

 

[MTGjumper]

2x2: (5.46), (2.51), 4.84, 4.98, 4.95 = 4.92

Wow. EP skip on second and third.

FMC: 38 moves

Pretty much linear solution, found in about 5 minutes. I can't be bothered to look for anything better.

 

[rachmaninovian]

2x2: 5.44, 5.91, (4.96), (7.36), 5.85 ==> 5.73 k whatever.

3x3: 22.07, (27.82), 18.91, (16.35), 19.74 ==> 20.24 **** i hate 3x3.

4x4: 53.35, 55.45, (51.62), 57.08, (1:09.50) ==>55.29 what the hell was the last solve? and why is my precious mefferts locking up so badly =(

5x5: 1:59.28, 1:57.46, (1:56.94), (2:10.11), 1:57.08 ==>1:57.94 poop.

 

[Spitfire97]

3x3 OH -33.63, 38.08+, 33.83, 41.41, 45.88 avg-37.77

Stupid Plus 2

I might add more later

 

[TMOY]

FMC: 32 moves
z' E' y L2 l d' l' d' (*) l' u2 F2 U' y F' M F' (**) R2 (16) : corners + 4 edges
d' L E L2 E' L E (10): last 3 edges
The remaining edges qre solved using the following insertions:
(*) = U2 M U2 M' (6)
(**) = R2 E2 R2 (4)
Total 36 - 4 moves canceling (d' U2 = U y,M' l' = L l2) = 32 HTM

 

[AvGalen]

...3x3 OH: 32.81, 30.30, 17.06, 35.70, 19.53 = 27.55...quote]
That is some seriously weird average. 2 sub 20's and 3 sup 30's???
Seriously, don't read the spoiler untill you finished 3x3x3 OH

Spoiler

Also, your worst is solve is probably the easiest solve ever. I am willing to bet that someone could solve it in sub 10! I only needed 27 moves and 19.94 seconds
x' r' R' B' F2 D2
L U L'
U' R U R' U R U' R'
U2 R' U R L' U L
U2 f R f'

but even without that the F2L was stil perfectly straightforward and had 3 extremely short pairs like this:
x' r' R' B' F2 D2
L U L'
F U F' R U' R'
U2 f R f'
F U F'

...3x3 OH: 32.81, 30.30, 17.06, 35.70, 19.53 = 27.55...

That is some seriously weird average. 2 sub 20's and 3 sup 30's???

Yes, I know! I never had a sub 20 before, I just got really good F2L and nice cases. My PB average of 12 is 27. This is the most inconsistant OH average I've ever done!

 

[Carrot]

Pyraminx: 3.94, 4.71, 5.16, 4.09, 4.43 => 4.41

2x2x2: 5.61, 1.88, 7.65, 5.90, 4.80 => 5.77

3x3x3: 17.78, 14.19, 16.96, 18.75, 19.93 => 17.83

3x3x3 OH: 37.36, 31.43, 43.78, 38.15, 33.50 => 36.34

the 1.88 2x2x2 was so easy >.< and the pyraminx average went quite nice so if I don't get a good average at WC I will atleast have got a good average in the weekly

 

[SimonWestlund]

Pyraminx: 3.94, 4.71, 5.16, 4.09, 4.43 => 4.41

In good shape for WC Hope you win

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 33 moves

Scramble: L2 F2 U R2 B2 D' L2 U L2 D' R2 B2 U' R2 F' D' F2 L2 F' R F2
Solution: R F R' F' L' F2 U' B R' B' R B D' R B R D' R' D U R B R' U B' D' B U' B' D U' B' D2

Used premove D2 (applied before scramble), then scramble, then:
2x2x2: R F R' F' L' F2 U'
3x cross: B R' B' R B D' R
4th pair: B R D' R' D
pseudo-OLL: U R B R' . B' U' B'
insert at .: U B' D' B U' B' D B
B B' cancel after insertion.

It's funny, with this start, I'm really disappointed with just 33 moves. The nicest F2L I found was this (with the D2 premove):
2x2x2: R F R' F' L' F2 U'
F2L: B R' B' R B D' B R
16 move F2L counting the premove! But alas, I could find no good continuation for this, so I had to improvise. Still, it's my first decent solution in quite a while, so I guess I'm pretty happy.
