2x2x2: Avg = 10.85
9.22, 9.87, (16.23), 13.39, (9.28)
Comments: Lol, applied wrong PBL twice, I guess I'm to lazy to look at the blocks on the other side.

3x3x3: Avg = 23.47
22.74, (19.07), (28.57), 25.58, 22.10
Comments: On solve 3 everything went wrong, on solve 4 I failed at OLL badly.

3x3x3 One Handed: Avg = 53.49
57.41, (46.65), 48.01, 55.04, (1:08.34)
Comments: I can't stand it when you forget how to do an alg with one hand. :(

3x3x3 Blindfolded: = DNF
DNF, DNF(5:33.98), DNF(6:07.43)
Comments: Well that was a waste of time, but I suppose even when you DNF you are still practicing.

PLL [N-perm]: L U' R U2 L' U R' L U' R U2 L' U R' U (15 moves)
Comments: Shame about the last layer, I'm only submitting this because I spent about 10 minutes trying to look for short cuts and was being colour neutral.

4x4x4: Avg = 3:37.36
3:16.90, 3:18.99, 4:16.19, (3:01.06), (DNF)
Comments: I am so bad at 4x4, I think my times will be a little faster with a better cube, solve 3 and the DNF went really bad.

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 relay: = 3:54.50
Comments: I failed at 2x2x2 badly, and of course the 4x4 but that's just because I'm slow.

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

Somewhat difficult scramble, I don't really know how to put my solve into good sub-steps, so here you go:

F2L+EO: R D B2 U' F2 L2 F' D F' D' L' F L R' D R D' R B2 R2 D' R' B' L' D2 L
LL: L D L' D L D2 L' D2

I had better starts but didn't find good endings.

Memo took too long (45 min) so I was in a hurry and made two execution mistakes.
But I made the time limit with two seconds to spare :)

2x2x2BLD: 36.13, DNS, DNS = 36.13
3x3x3BLD: 1:57.00 [55.xx], DNS, DNS = 1:57.00
That was interesting. Only time for 1 try. And it was a pb!
4x4x4BLD: 9:09.39 [4:30.77], 10:25.44 [4:28.10], 9:36.80 [4:31.94] = 9:09.39
Was a pb single at the time. Very consistent memo times
5x5x5BLD: DNF, DNS, DNS = DNF
Good memo. Screwed up centres somewhere - missed some setup moves

FMC: 33 moves F R' F' R F2 U F' L' U' R U L U' F U F' U' R F' R F2 U' R2 U' F U R L' F D2 R D' L2

Start with inverse scramble:
2x2x2: L2 D R' D2 F' L (6)
2x2x3: R' U' F' U R2 U (12) (extra move there to help the next bit)
Cross and 3rd pair: F2 R' F R2 (16)
Switch to normal scramble by using the above moves as premoves
4th pair: F R' F' R F2 U F' (*) U' (24)
OLL: R F U F' U' R' (30)
This leaves 3 corners solved by L' U' R U L U' R' U at (*), which cancels 4 moves. Also there is a 1 move cancellation between the end of the normal scramble bit (end of OLL) and the end of the inverse bit (end of 3rd pair). This gives 30+8-4-1=33 moves
Verdict: Difficult scramble, but thankfully got nice cancellation so it ended up ok.

What? Really?
Click to expand...

Yes really. I got my Square-1 just over a month ago and practised for 2 weeks at which point I had a 50 sec average. Since then I've pretty much not solved it at all so I've forgotten lots of algs. I average 2 mins here because I get near then end and then screw up the parity alg or something so have to start again. The 36 sec is a single solve pb and was just because I got an easy edge permutation (just one u-perm).
 
2x2x2: (8.26), 6.84, 7.70, 7.97, (5.82) = 7.50

2. DNF [1:04.88 + 1:10.48 = 2:15.37]
3. 2:16.75 [44.72 + 1:32.02]
Comment: Really tried to speed it up this week, which resulted in 2x DNFs, but got a new PB for memo time on the last one and managed to solve it, yay :)

3x3x3 BLD: 25:07.30
1. 25:07.30 [16:33.43 + 8:33.86]
2. DNS
3. DNS
Wow, my first ever successful 3x3x3 BLD!!! So happy, especially after so many close failures. What was weird was when I got close to the finish, I somehow had a feeling it was going to be a success. Finally, I can solve the Rubik's cube blindfolded :D :D :D

EDIT: Funniest thing is I used a pink blindfold with "The b**ch is Sleeping" embroidered on the front. I wonder if they'll let me use this at competition :p

3x3x3 FMC: 36 moves
Solution: B' L2 F' U2 B' L' B' D B2 D' F2 U F' U L U2 L U' L U L2 U' L2 D L B D B' U' B D' B' L' D' L2 U'
Explanation:
Premove: U'
F2L minus slot with EO: B' L2 F' U2 , B' L' B' D B2 , D' F2 U F' U (14/14)
Create pairs and permute: L U2 L U' L U L2 U' L' . U' L (11/25)
Left with 2 disoriented corners.
Insert at . L' D L B D B' U' B D' B' L' D' L U (14/39)
Undo premove: U' (1/40)
4-moves cancel
Comment, great skeleton, shame about the 2-corners at the end. First use of insertions to fix. Overall, quite happy with this :)
