Weekly competition 2010-14

I lost the square 1 times but avg = 1:45.xx

2x2 : 7.54, 7.21, 7.05, 6.10, 5.65 avg = 6.71
3x3 : 22.87, 20.11, 21.36, 18.74, 17.68 avg = 20.15
4x4 : 1:29.44, 1:38.54, 1:33.56, 1:28.56, 1:31.67 avg = 1:32.52
5x5 : 2:49.85, 2:38.55, 2:52.68, 2:26.48, 2:42.69 avg = 2:42.25
3x3 OH : 33.01, 44,80, 39.64, 33,31, 43,60 avg = 38.87 (pb by 5 sec!!!)
2x2 BLD : 1:12.37, 50.38, DNF

A computer reads the results so won't understand this. Just put:
Sq1 1:45.99, 1:45.99, 1:45.99, 1:45.99, 1:45.99
:)
 
2x2: 3.46, 3.86, 4.88, 3.96, 3.68 = 3.84
Awesomeness =D

3x3: 12.49, 15.40, 17.38, 16.66, 17.26 = 16.44
ewwww

OH: 30.41, 29.28, 29.13, 35.04, 25.80 = 29.61

Pyraminx: 8.91, 5.37, 8.20, 6.48, 6.49 = 7.06
Terrible...

Square-1:18.16, 13.43, 15.02, 14.22, 12.72 = 14.22

Megaminx: 2:21.79, 2:17.47, 2:09.89, 2:11.61, 2:20.18 = 2:16.42
Very nice

4x4: 1:18.10, 1:17.38(O), 1:24.37(O), 1:04.02(O), 1:18.01(P)
other than the 1:04 baddddd

5x5: 2:25.01, 2:17.44, 2:18.50, 2:20.02, 2:02.75[had 15sec redux :O] = 2:18.65
Fairly decent

2x2 BLD: 4:27.30, DNF[3:07.60, off by a J perm :(], DNF[1:28.07, wrong OLL]
lol ortega takes too much brain power

EDIT: 2x2 BLD times count the memo right? cuz I saw Felix average 5 seconds....

My non-BLD event of the week:
2x2x2: 9.00, 8.13, 10.02, 10.03, 8.50 = 9.17
Comment: Actually, not bad for me. Sad considering I use Guimond.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 38.30, 28.63, DNF [30.80] = 28.63
Comment: Not such nice scrambles this week. Third one was off by 3 corners.
3x3x3 BLD: 1:58.91, 2:09.59, 1:50.71 = 1:50.71
Comment: The third one would have been good but I had a terrible memory recall delay.
4x4x4 BLD: 7:31.24 [3:47], 8:53.21 [4:42], 7:50.90 [4:05] = 7:31.24
Comment: Why can't I be this consistent at competitions?
5x5x5 BLD: 13:54.80 [7:43], 18:36.74 [8:23], DNF [17:43.94, 10:28] = 13:54.80
Comment: Very nice first one. No reorient; 9 centers and 2 wings already solved; nice easy solve. Reoriented on second one to get 11 centers solved; two pops - one a full pop of a wing with an X center that almost came out, the other with an X center that got twisted; bad memory recall pause on the wings too. All considered, not a bad time. Third one was off by just two flipped central edges (I didn't see it when memorizing); reoriented 8->11; hard to memorize.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 8/10 = 6 points, 54:18.79 [38:35]
Comment: I didn't realize how slow I was going. That was closer than I would have liked. Fourth cube had 3 corners wrong - I cycled the wrong way (execution mistake). Eighth cube had 2 edges flipped (mismemorized last edge) and 2 corners twisted (memorized them wrong).

And non-BLD events done BLD:
6x6x6: DNF [49:43.27, 29:11], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: This took longer than my 7x7x7 BLD last week!?! First I spent 1:30 just picking an orientation, then I took way too long to memorize because I kept making mistakes and had to rememorize. In the end, I was just off by 3 outer wings due to misexecution; my memorization was correct. Very frustrating solve. I didn't do 7x7x7 BLD this week because I got too caught up in square-1. I've decided to actually get passably decent at square-1 (just speed, not BLD (yet)), and so I got distracted.
Magic: 2.77, 1.88, 1.90, 1.68, 5.22 [3.22 + 2 = 5.22] = 2.18
Master Magic: 4.68, 4.36, 6.86, 5.11, 4.65 = 4.81
Pyraminx: DNF [1:03.61], 1:04.27, 1:20.93, 53.83, DNF [55.66] = DNF
Comment: Both of the DNFs were off by 3 edges. So disappointing - I hate DNFing the average.

Yay, no sup 2:00s.
2x2 Blindfolded: 24.75 DNF DNF
I quit using Ortega, from now on (even though it's way slower) I'm using OP 3x3 corners. I <3 LL skips. I thought I had no chance on no. 1.
3x3 One Handed: 53.55 1:01.53 57.88 1:02.25 1:01.96
I switched about 2 weeks ago to LH, and I'm much slower. RH I average 45-50.
3x3 with feet: 3:50.96 3:18.84 3:46.15 DNF 3:52.27
Stupid pop on A-perm. It looked sub 3. Ima gonna do some more feet now.
Will do soon.

2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4: 2:32.21
Good 4x4, bad 2x2 and 3x3.
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5: 6:30.25
Awesome big cubes, horrible small cubes.
Rubik's Clock: DNF 18.68 21.66 10.89 16.21
I've slowed down a lot. 10 is pb, but super lucky, so I'll say lucky pb. DNF was same time as solve 2.
Pyraminx: 6.91 9.22 9.13 6.03 8.53
Bad. Stupid counting 9.
Square-1: 1:18.96 1:41.00 1:15.52 1:43.94 1:33.59
Good. I think? Just started actually practising, and re-leant my algs.
5x5: 4:52.21 4:03.21 4:05.01 4:15.25 4:23.85

slight improvement on my times, i dare say. =)

Wait, what...? Second had parity too.

I had the numbers in the wrong order somehow in my template. I've corrected them both here and in my template, so hopefully I won't make the same mistake again. Thanks for pointing it out. The scrambles were in the correct order; just the numbers at the beginning of the line were wrong.

And they were wrong last week as well as this week. :o Please do let me know if you find other mistakes. I'm in the process of automating the scramble generation, so it's likely I might make a few mistakes as I get the process ironed out. In a couple more weeks I should have it almost completely automated.

And nice try, Micael - you almost got me. :)
