I tried it for the first time in a while. Pretty good times.

2x2x2: 6.95 5.93 (7.39) 6.18 (5.91) = 6.35.
Good!
3x3x3: (20.43) 18.67 14.25 15.75 (14.08) = 16.22.
First two solves were bad, average is still OK.
4x4x4: 1:04.79 (57.55) 1:01.33 1:02.38 (1:10.56) = 1:02.83.
Fourth solve was double parity with E perm :) Overall a great average.
5x5x5: 1:51.21 1:46.21 (1:53.57) 1:52.14 (1:39.28) = 1:49.85.
Nothing special, except the last solve was pretty fast.
2x2x2 BLD: DNF DNF 1:07.25 = 1:07.25.
That's my PR! I like blocks. Still doing this with a blindfold solution.
3x3x3 BLD: DNF DNF 3:55.61 = 3:55.61.
Funny, for this and 2x2 BLD the fastest time of the three attempts was the only success. :D
3x3x3 OH: (25.87) 27.77 (DNF) 27.86 33.19 = 29.61.
Dropped the third one and caught it with my right hand. Oh well.
Relay: 3:26.45.
Nice, another PR (by 0.23)!
Master Magic: (2.69) 3.63 5.49 (5.74) 3.45 = 4.19.
Good single, but consistency is still bad :P
Clock: (DNF) 50.91 20.18 (16.94) 21.55 = 30.88.
Ewww.
Megaminx: (3:14.00) (2:23.03) 2:28.43 2:34.90 2:42.17 = 2:35.17.
Great average. Also the 2:23 is another PR.
Pyraminx: 9.39 (17.41) (7.87) 12.07 9.31 = 10.26.
LLskip on the 3rd and 4th, and the 5th had a tip solved (!). But these reflective stickers are terrible and I am out of practice.
 
2x2x2: 8.46 7.65 8.00 8.28 11.59= 8.25
3x3x3: 20.03 32.30 24.81 26.15 28.40 = 26.45

5x5x5: 2:35.15 2:25.22 2:27.91 2:40.08 2:18.55 = 2:29.43
2x2x2_bf: 1:30.33 DNF DNF = 1:30.33
3x3x3_bf: DNF DNF DNF = DNF
3x3x3_mbf: 0/3 in 38.05
Comment: I keep messing up on execution. memo was sub-15 :(
3x3x3_oh: 39.78 43.46 52.65 53.58 47.38 = 47.83
3x3x3_fmc: F B2 L' B2 F2 D F2 D L' B' L F2 L' B L F L' D' L' D L U L U' L U L' U' L2 B = 30
Premove B, Regular scramble: L' F2 R2 U' L2 D' B F L R' F D' B2 D2 B' D' U2 R'
Added move for better continuation: F
2x2x2: B2 L' B2

4th pair plus edges last layer: L U L U' L U L' U' L2
Undo premove: B
Insert corner 3-cycle at . : L' B' L F2 L' B L F2
Relay: 5:16.38 (OP)
Magic: 1.66 1.59 2.05 2.05 1.59 = 1.77
Master Magic: 5.31 6.16 5.88 7.34 4.30 = 5.78
Clock: 18.88 17.80 21.27 36.56 16.55 = 19.32
MegaMinx: 3:10.94 3:24.53 3:59.55 3:57.61 3:54.52 = 3.45.55

Hi :-)

Here's my FMC contribution this week!!

L2 F R' B' L R B' D2 L F2 D' R2 D L D' B L2 B' R B L' B2 U B U2 L U L R (29)

Breakdown:
L2 F R' B' L R B' D2 L (2x2x3)
F2 D' R2 D L D' (towards "f2l")
B L2 B' R B L2 B' (corner 3-cycle)
B L B2 U B U2 L U L2 (fliptwist)
L' R (final correction)

4 turns cancel out!!

Still lots unexplored - but no more time :-s

4,15 was lucky.
 
3x3x3 = 17.60
17.57, (19.66), 18.33, 16.91, (13.27)
My cube was popping :(

3x3x3 OH = 26.61
26.86(+2), (31.09), 27.25, (25.37), 25.71
No warm up...

3x3x3 BLD = 1:23.92
1:26.58, 1:23.92, DNF(1:29)
Last one was off by 2 flipped edges...

4x4x4 = 1:27.61
1:35.72, 1:29.67, (1:39.50), (1:14.32), 1:17.43
Done with my brand new 4x4...got it yesterday, played for a bit, lubed...it's still a bit stiff on double layer and slice turns, but I have a feeling that it will be a good cube :)

4x4x4 BLD =
DNF(14:21),
First had 4 corners and 9 edges wrong...don't know if I'll try again tomorrow

5x5x5 = 2:59.80
(3:28.63), (2:44.49), 3:04.15, 3:07.82, 2:47.43
Bleh...too many mistakes on first one...third one was good, but I messed the PLL ¬¬

Megaminx = 2:35.10
2:45.32, 2:29.82, 2:30.15, (2:23.12), (2:50.10)
Bad, considering I averaged 2:23 yesterday

1-hour FMC:
F' B2 L' R2 F2 U2 R2 B' D U' F' D' R U2 R' D R B D2 B' U B D2 B' R' U F U (28) (54 min)

Breakdown:
F' B2 L' R2 F2 U2 R2 B' D (2x2x3) 4 more edges in place luckily
U' F' R U'. R' U F U fixes edges and 2 corners
insert U R' D' R U2 R' D R U_ U' B D2 B' U B D2 B' at the dot fixing 4 corners

after 1-hour, 20 more minutes, another solution
F' B2 L' R2 F2 U2 R2 B' D_ F R' F' R' D' F (insert sune: R' D2 F D2 F' D' F D' F' R ) D F' R2 (28)
Nothing better in the time frame.

5x5x5 Blindfolded
1. DNF (25:45.46)

Off by 4 x-centers (ouch!), 3 t-centers (yep, did that last comm wrong, even after pausing so long to consider it), 3 wings (Gaah! BLd, not BLu!), and 2 flipped midges (how? Come on! Why did I shoot FU instead of the easy UF?).
I tried a few of the other BLD scrambles this week, probably, but did horribly. I'm just posting this to scare Mike. :p

Ah, so my fears are confirmed. I suspected as much.

1. (15.33)
2. 17.53
3. 15.45
4. (19.11)
5. 16.81

Good.
 
Ugh, I just don't have the time to get everything done anymore, I haven't done a BLD solve in ages!!

3x3x3: 20.80 20.86 22.13 20.00 22.47 => 21.26
Fumbled twice on picking up the cube for the last solve lol >.< . Not too bad average.

3x3x3_OH: 37.66 44.47 42.25 50.11 51.81 => 45.61
No comment...

3x3x3_feet: 5:56.02 2:31.72 1:59.63 2:21.16 3:08.21 => 2:40.36
Stuffed up the V perm...

4x4x4: 2:35.33 2:26.05 2:03.00 2:30.66 2:31.61 => 2:29.44
Arg, so close to sub-2!!

5x5x5: 4:33.11 3:54.68 4:11.11 4:29.63 4:27.15 => 4:22.63
Not too bad.
