3x3: 28.00, (19.69), 27.86, 26.00, (28.15)=27.86-Absolute crap. I usually average 22, but my cube grinds my gears. My stickers are bad; I have the entire orange side missing, red center missing, a yellow and blue corner. Lovin' my new stackmat though.
4x4: 2:23.34 (NP), 2:27.50 (NP), (2:14.97 (NP)), (2:45.25 (P)), 2:25.18 (NP)=2:25.34-PB average
3x3 OH: 1:04.03, 59.15, (56.91), 58.41, 1:08.16=1:00.53. V Perm absolutely killed me, as I don't know it yet. Woulda been first sub-1 avg...:mad:

Are the rankings still being done?

2x2: 21.21, 18.08, 23.07, 17.14, 14.96 = 18.81
3x3: 51.21 50.12 44.04 45.93 47.67 = 47.91
2-4Rel: = 4:47.42 Sigh :(

Blind without memo
4x4: 5:08.48 5:41.23 5:39.67 5:15.23 5:01.23 = 5:21.13
5x5: 10:40.74 9:45.69 10:31.64 9:19.90 13:08.92 = 10:19.36

Blindfolded
2x2BLD: 36.80 41.59 26.81 = 26.81 :)
3x3BLD: 1:41.58 2:22.38 dnf (1:42) = 1:41.58 :)
4x4BLD: 10:40 9:28 dnf (9:42) = 9:28 :D :D
The third was a 3-cycle edges off
5x5BLD: dnf (25:10) dnf (22:37) dnf (21:14) = DNF
Continuing the speed race :o
The first was the first time I tried reorienting centres. Correct bar the
reorientation :( The others did not need that but was a little off, going
to fast.
 
2x2 3.56, 9.03, 4.47, 2.90, 3.72 = 3.92

3x3 11.88, 14.11, 10.25, 10.69, 12.66 = 11.71

4x4 58.33, 1:17.21, 1:10.33, 1:24.91, 1:07.44 = 1:11.66

3x3 OH 18.47, 23.86, 20.30, 20.05, 20.77 = 20.37

square-1 23.81, 24.97, 29.31, 34.66, 24.59 = 26.29


I have no idea how that happened on 2H 3x3. Wtf. Oh yeah, and the OH was pretty decent. 2x2 sucked.
 
Mike Hughey:
2x2x2: 10.11, 11.83, 8.02, 11.55, 9.09 = 10.25
3x3x3: 22.38, 20.59, 26.33, 23.97, 27.88 = 24.23
4x4x4: 1:47.71 [OP], 1:44.41 [P], 1:32.22 [P], 1:44.96 [OP], 1:28.78 = 1:40.53
5x5x5: 2:23.27, 2:40.84, 2:34.86, 2:47.25, 2:33.00 = 2:36.23
6x6x6: 4:50.22 [P], 5:02.17, 5:54.69, 6:00.06 [OP], DNF [31:07.63, 15:38] = 5:38.97
Comment: Had a horrible pop on the PLL of the third one; it was about to be sub-5 before the pop. After that I just couldn’t concentrate. The BLD solve was almost a UWR. It was very easy, though - I didn't check, it might have been a lucky scramble. Unfortunately, I recalled two images out of order and got 3 obliques wrong. :( So close to a really nice solve.
7x7x7: 7:37.28, 7:22.58, 7:25.64, 8:23.51, DNF [51:34.05, 24:19] = 7:48.81
Comment: BLD solve was very sad. I reoriented, and I never realized I had chosen a parity orientation, so I could never have solved it. I finished off by 4 centers, 4 central edges, 7 inner + centers, 4 outer + centers, and 3 inner wings. I really thought it was solved, too – very disappointing.
2x2x2 BLD: 33.69, 28.81, 36.34 = 28.81
3x3x3 BLD: 1:37.65, 1:51.40, DNF [1:27.75] = 1:37.65
Comment: Third solve was pretty scrambled – I was going too fast and messed up a BH corner algorithm. I knew it at the time, but I also knew it was fast, so I just kept going and hoped I got it right. I didn’t. :(
4x4x4 BLD: 9:56.60 [5:53], 7:51.79 [3:37], DNF [10:03.19, 4:35] = 7:51.79
Comment: Third solve was off by just 2 center pieces – apparently I memorized correctly but cycled the wrong direction.
5x5x5 BLD: 17:29.30 [9:09], DNF [14:48.10, 7:20], DNF [19:03.37, 8:59] = 17:29.30
Comment: I’ve been doing very badly lately on big cubes. The first one was nice in that reorienting the cube gave 11 solved center pieces, including the 4 X centers on the bottom. I forgot to explicitly memorize the orientation, so I had to recall it visually. I glanced at the timer when I finished figuring out the orientation – it was exactly one minute. So I think I’m still taking too long to reorient – I need to find a way to speed that up. The second one was off by 4 corners, 5 centrals, and 6 wings – it seemed I undid a setup incorrectly, based on the corners. The third one was off by 6 wings; I memorized the letter A twice, and so I had to guess which one was wrong. I guessed incorrectly. :(
3x3x3 multiBLD: 4/4 = 4 points, 18:25.34 [11:05]
Comment: Well, at least I got them all. Memorization was pretty fast for me; I was trying to go fast, and it was working. (It helped that the scrambles were somewhat easy, too.) But unfortunately I had a couple of very bad memory recall pauses, which really slowed me down in execution. Surely I can do better than this!
3x3x3 OH: 44.46, 41.83, 45.30, 45.91, 1:37.11 = 45.22
Comment: On the last one, I forgot the V perm. OH and WF are especially hard when you’re relearning OLLs and PLLs!
3x3x3 WF: 1:50.43, 2:39.00, 1:53.43, 2:46.05, 1:49.58 = 2:07.62
Comment: Yes, both of the bad ones were me forgetting PLLs – my new R perms.
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:25.38, 1:22.36, 1:20.03, 1:13.59, 1:11.83 = 1:18.66
2-4 relay: 2:10.46 [P]
2-5 relay: 5:17.61 [P]
Magic: 4.34, 1.96, 1.72, 1.71, 1.71 = 1.80
Master Magic: 4.25, 3.83, 5.25, 4.66, 3.81 = 4.25
Clock: 18.43, 18.88, 18.84, 17.80, 20.56 = 18.72
MegaMinx: 3:01.77, 3:12.28, 2:55.90, 2:55.67, 3:01.22 = 2:59.63
Pyraminx: 12.06, 18.56, 14.84, 14.84, 15.08 = 14.92
Square-1: 1:05.36 [P], 44.75, 1:21.09, 58.61 [P], 1:07.19 = 1:03.72
Comment: Obviously, I need to find some time to practice. I hate how quickly you can lose it on square-1 if you don’t practice.
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 37 moves
Comment: See solution earlier in thread.

Comments:
3x3x3:
On the last solve (34.65) my F2L lookahead was terrible.

3x3x3 OH:
On the last solve (2:00.28) I had a servere case of one hand amnesia with OLL.

2x2x2:
On the second last solve (22.26) I applied the wrong PBL alg.

Overall, I am very pleased.

Multi: 4/4 = 4 in 25:18 (17:18).
@Mike: Now I see I should have added a fifth :)
Rather slow memo (I did not want 0 again) but ok
execution, as there were a fair amount of twisted
corners and flipped edges (but maybe those take
more time to memorize than to solve).
 
2x2 BLD: 30.90, 16.26, 31.43 = 16.26 - :D
3x3 BLD: 1:48.58, DNF (2:30.78), DNF (2:26.07) = 1:48.58 - PB :D:D:D
4x4 BLD: DNF (28:56), 21:14, DNS yet. - Holy crap! First success! First solve was off by 7 pieces.
3x3 Multi: 3/3 17:13 - :D:D:D:D
Wow, you really did have excellent results in all BLD events!!!
PB:s everywhere

Thanks! This last week it suddenly felt a lot easier to memorize for some reason.

And.. yeah.. What Maarten said. :rolleyes:

I stuggled this week. At least, I am glad to see many nice multi BLD results from others. It becomes more popular. :)
