Weekly competition 2009-47

2x2: 8.46 7.49 7.68 (10.38) (6.49) = 7.88
3x3: 40.93 (41.96) 38.92 38.17 (34.86) = 39.34 (Second day using Petrus. Pretty good, I think.)
Pyraminx: 16.78 (28.38) (13.13) 17.40 15.41 = 16.53
Megaminx: (2:19.52) 2:26.46 (DNF) 2:22.30 2:47.05 = 2:31.94 (Getting closer, but the switch to Meffert's is still screwing me up)
 
FMC: 22 HTM :eek:

F' B2 L' D2 L' U L' F2 U R U' R' F U' L' F R' F' L F2 R U'

Pre-move U2
2x2x2: F' B2 L' D2
2x2x3: L' U L'
1x2x2: F2 U R U' R'
F2L: F U' F2 U
OLL: U' F'. R' F R U cancels 3 moves
Now there's only three corners left, inserting F' L' F R' F' L F R at the dot cancels 5 moves!
Also fixing the pre-move cancels 1 move :P
 
No 6x6x6 or 7x7x7 BLD this week; we're on vacation, so I don't have time for them. I still have one 5x5x5 BLD to do; I'll get it later today.

2x2x2: 4.46, 8.13, 15.18, 9.84, 11.06 = 9.68
3x3x3: 22.61, 27.72, 26.61, 24.80, 26.91 = 26.11
4x4x4: 1:37.88 [O], 1:44.65 [OP], 1:28.80, 1:31.50, 1:41.43 [P] = 1:36.94
5x5x5: 2:35.34, 2:45.18, 2:28.97, 2:37.09, 2:49.80 = 2:39.20
6x6x6: 5:03.17 [O], 5:27.29 [P], 5:35.00 [OP], 5:12.78, 5:11.72 = 5:17.26
Comment: No BLD this week; maybe next week.
7x7x7: 7:09.04, 7:19.42, 7:00.64, 7:45.97, 8:14.88 = 7:24.81
Comment: No BLD this week; maybe next week.
2x2x2 BLD: 48.69, 38.96, 25.28 = 25.28
3x3x3 BLD: 1:49.11, 1:40.81, 1:22.44 = 1:22.44
Comment: My second best time ever!
4x4x4 BLD: 9:54.10 [5:34], DNF [8:21.94, 4:46], DNF [9:44.60, 4:31] = 9:54.10
Comment: Second one off by 3 wings because I decoded XF as FX; third one off by 3 centers because I decoded FR as RF. I think I have to work on those images!
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [16:19.99, 8:56], 20:55.24 [12:47], 15:31.72 [7:46, 15:29.72 + 2 = 15:31.72] = 15:31.72
Comment: First one was off by 3 + centers because I used the wrong person for the last buffer. On the second one, I spent several minutes looking for the last cycle of wings - I just couldn't find it! Hence the TERRIBLE memo time. The solve was pretty quick, though. The third one was pretty nice - quick to memorize, quick to solve - but I forgot to do an F2 at the end, so it was +2. It seems so silly and pathetic when you get a +2 on big cube BLD.
3x3x3 MultiBLD: 4/4 = 4 points, 21:50.19 [15:10]
Comment: There was a lot going on in the next room, and I had a hard time concentrating, which is why the memorization was so slow. But I got them all! No time for a real attempt this week.
3x3x3 OH: 45.33, 44.03, 46.59, 41.88, 54.55 = 45.32
3x3x3 WF: 1:57.19, 2:14.97, 1:43.08, DNF, 1:51.65 = 2:01.27
Comment: Disaster; I messed up an OLL on the second one and stopped the timer in mid-solve on the fourth one.
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:15.41, 1:33.33, DNF, 1:47.78, 1:20.65 = 1:33.92
Comment: Two edges were flipped when I finished the third one.
2-4 Relay: 2:25.63 [P]
2-5 Relay: 4:59.31 [O]
Magic: 1.78, 2.21, 1.81, 3.72 [1.72 + 2], 1.97 = 2.00
Master Magic: 4.02, 7.58, 4.41, 5.44, 4.96 = 4.94
Clock: 19.09, 18.22, 24.05, 21.84, 20.11 = 20.35
MegaMinx: 3:12.77, 3:04.33, 2:25.65, 2:42.34, 2:32.08 = 2:46.25
PyraMinx: 12.59, 19.96, 12.38, 15.63, 9.38 = 13.53
Square-1: 53.71 [P], 36.21, 47.15, 51.27 [P], 1:05.31 [P] = 50.71
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 32 moves
Comment: See solution earlier in thread. Amazing solution, Stini!

And my wife learned a new puzzle this week.

PyraMinx: 20.78, 24.06, 42.90, 29.53, 21.58 = 25.06

3x3 fewest moves: 26

Scramble: D2 L2 U' B2 D' R2 F2 U R2 D' F L' B U R' U' L2 B2 D L' U2
Solution: D' L2 B L D L' D2 B2 L B F D' F2 L' R D' B2 L' B' R B L B' R' D L2

Use inverse scramble (U2 L D' B2 L2 U R U' B' L F' D R2 U' F2 R2 D B2 U L2 D2) with premove D.
2x2x2: L2 D' * B' D R' (5|5)
2x2x3: L F2 D F' (4|9)
(pseudo-)F2L: B' L' B2 D B' (5|14)
Solve edges: B D L D' L' B' L2 (4|18)
Insert R B L' B' R' B L B' (7|25) at * to solve 3 remaining corners. Adding premove gives 26.

15-move F2L was really nice, and 19-move skeleton is nothing to complain about (same length skeleton as Stini, just couldn't find a beautiful insertion to match his)

Awesome solution, Stini! The forward scramble definitely had some good options, nice job with it.

fmc: D' F' B2 L' D2 R' L2 F' L2 F L' F' L' F' D' L D F' R B' R B L2 B' R' B L2 U' (28)
explanation:
Nice start for regular scramble: D' F' B2 L' D2 (5)
using these as pre-moves for inverse scramble D2 L B2 F D
continuing on onverse scramble:
All but 3 corners: U.R' F D' L' D F L F L F' L2 F L2 R (15)
pre-move correction D2 L B2 F D (20)
at dot insert L2 B' R B L2 B' R' B (28)

Very well done Teemu! You are now a real expert to me!
I missed that 22 moves by a nail!
I found that same 7 moves 2x2x3 and 5 move extra 1x2x2 block, but 'forgot' to solve edges then and ended up with another 28-moves

When does the next weekly competition start? I thought it was on the wednesday to thursday night change.
Click to expand...

It does. But it's done manually, and sometimes Arnaud is busy. He'll probably have it out sometime in the next day or two - just be patient.

If he's late with it, remember you have 7 full days to finish it, even if that goes well beyond the wednesday to thursday night change.
