Weekly competition 2010-19

Pyraminx: (14.92) 9.24 (8.52) 14.75 8.52 = 10.84

3x3: 1:04.02, 1:03.15, (49.55), 1:07.37, (1:11.19) = 1:04.85

First time cubing in months. Even so, that 3x3 average is painful to see. First over a minute average in God knows how long. Pyraminx...ehh it's okay. I would've been happier with a sub-10.

But it looks like I've got my work cut out for me!
 
My first weekly :)

3x3x3 : (35.88), 17.64, (16.00), 17.63, 20.25 = 18.51
Not bad, first was POP
4x4x4 : 1:41.10, (1:53.88), 1:32.36, (1:16.32), 1:29.39 = 1:34.28 :fp
OH :33.29, (31.31), (56.10), 40.01, 36.67 = 36.66 :)
2x2x2 :7.61, 8.41, (7.35), (10.67), 8.42 = 8.15
Total fail...
234 :2:04.54
SQ-1 :35.81, 44.88, (51.49), (17.12), 48.81 = 43.17
So bad, but POP on the 1st and PB on the 3rd:eek:
 
2x2: 2.69, (9.48), 3.81, (2.60), 3.53 = 3.34
Comment: Very good.

3x3: 12.64, (10.99) (14.95), 12.00, 12.90 = 12.51
Comments: PB average with a very nice nl single.
 
2x2: (5.28), 6.76, 6.68, (9.44), 7.78 => 7.07

3x3: 19.19, 17.23, 17.24, (14.42), (19.52) => 17.89
Not bad this week :)

2x2 BLD: 2:32.44
1. DNF [1:46.58 + 1:09.58]
2. 2:44.61 [1:14.98 + 1:29.63]
3. 2:32.44 [1:12.95 + 1:19.49]
Meh, not great but better than last week.

3x3 BLD: 11:12.07
1. DNF [8:04.35 + 6:37.12 = 14:41.47 - 3-corners wrong again ... beginning to thing something is up with my method!]
2. 11:12.07 [4:54.37 + 6:17.70 - beautiful! New PB :D :D]
3. DNS
Finally figured out what I was doing wrong all along. Parity fix at the end, rather than after finishing edges. That explains all the corner DNF's doh :fp

3x3 FMC: 34 moves
Solution: U' R F' D B' F' U F' U' R' D' R U' R' D R F U B' D R D B U' L' U' L F U' F' U F U2 F'
F2L-1: U' R F' D B' F' U F' U2 . F U B' D R D B (16/16)
3-corners: U' L' U' L F U' F' U F U2 F' (11/27)
Insert at . : U R' D' R U' R' D R (8/35)
1 move cancels

My non-BLD event of the week:
7x7x7: DNF [54:26.26, 26:40], 8:26.34, 8:09.89, 7:34.04, 8:44.64 = 8:26.96
Comment: BLD solve was off by just 3 inner X centers - I executed the pair QX instead of KX (the image names sound the same, which must have caused it - usually it doesn't cause problems, but this time it did :(). I reoriented 27->32. As for the speedsolving, it was very depressing. For the two worst ones, I tried to do some tricky optimizations with the centers, which slowed me down a lot. Very disappointing.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: DNF [29.86], 22.88, DNF [24.75] = 22.88
Comment: Awful, but still a good overall result. First one was off by 3 corners; third one was off by 2 corners because I forgot to do parity.
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:46.34], 2:00.34, 1:50.36 = 1:50.36
Comment: First one was off by 3 edges.
4x4x4 BLD: DNF [6:59.26, 3:28], 9:43.52 [5:58], DNF [7:40.39, 3:58] = 9:43.52
Comment: Two good fast solves, except that I missed them, and one bad solve, but I got it right. The first one was off by 3 wings; the third was off by 2 X centers.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [19:21.32, 8:39], DNF [15:18.54, 8:40], 16:12.85 [7:40] = 16:12.85
Comment: Terrible accuracy this week - I was really living dangerously - but I still got a successful solve in everything. First one was off by 5 wings; I memorized it wrong, but realized it and tried to guess what the problem was - I guessed correctly, but then executed the correction incorrectly. :( I reoriented 9->12 on the first one. Second one was off by an R', 6 centrals, and 6 wings; the wings were due to skipping a location, and the centrals were due to the R'; I reoriented 4->11 on that one. Third one had 11 centers solved without reorienting - it was a very nice solve.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 10/10 = 10 points, 56:03.06 [37:33]
Comment: This felt really nice - I needed a success to regain confidence, so I took extra time memorizing. Multi is so much easier if you take time to refresh memory all the way through a couple of times before beginning to solve. This was my first success with my 5 new rooms - it was nice to finally get one with them. I'm very happy with how they turned out.

And non-BLD events done BLD:
6x6x6: DNF [40:05.09, 20:19], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by 3 wings, due to solving 2 images in the wrong order. It was terrible to memorize - lots of wing cycles - I hate lots of wing cycles.
Magic: 33.91, 28.58, 23.02, 22.69, 16.28 = 24.76
Comment: Done OHITABLD. It was nice how much I improved with each solve! I think it's going to start getting difficult to improve much from here, though. Stachu is the OHITABLD master - I will forever be a lowly student. :)
Master Magic: 5.02, 4.44, 5.11, 4.75, 4.13 = 4.74
Pyraminx: 55.96, DNF [43.65], DNF [1:24.22], DNF [1:41.97], 1:20.25 = DNF
Comment: Terrible. Second one off by 3 edges, third and fourth had 2 edges flipped.
