Thanks Zane! I was very happy, that average is quite good for me :)

Yeah Mats! Nice solves this week, especially that 6x6x6 time! W00t! :D
 
Cubes BLD were pretty accurate this week (21/23 solved!). Megaminx BLD was a disaster, though. Overall, it was a pretty good week for me, I think.

Mike Hughey:

2x2x2: 7.10, 7.33, 9.42, 7.50, 7.85 = 7.56
3x3x3: 21.12, 19.31, 19.98, 27.63, 23.82 = 21.64
Comment: It’s interesting how this is often the single most important event for my point total in a given week. This week it came out really good for me.
4x4x4: 1:46.22 [OP], 1:37.28 [OP], 1:43.05 [O], 1:49.73 [OP], 1:39.43 [OP] = 1:42.90
Comment: Ugh. 9 out of 10 parities.
5x5x5: 2:29.71, 2:35.08, 2:36.68, 2:52.61, 2:37.87 = 2:38.39
6x6x6: 6:07.41 [OP], 5:51.49 [OP], 5:06.26 [P], 5:07.44 [P], 5:42.78 [OP] = 5:33.90
Comment: And 8 out of 10 parities here. Horrible.
7x7x7: 7:37.03, 7:18.88, 7:08.02, 7:20.50, 7:03.92 = 7:15.80
Comment: Good average for me.
2x2x2 BLD: 24.21, 29.70, 32.03 = 24.21
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:24.78], 1:54.47, 1:45.03 = 1:45.03
Comment: Why did I have to miss that first one? It was really easy, too. Somehow it wound up scrambled. Second and third scrambles were also both very easy, but in both cases, I got stuck unable to remember the last image for the edges for a while, and lost probably 30 seconds on each solve. So disappointing.
4x4x4 BLD: 7:21.31 [3:46], 8:29.98 [4:11], 8:53.90 [5:11] = 7:21.31
5x5x5 BLD: 17:23.17 [10:15], 14:37.11 [8:03], DNF [16:39.00, 9:41] = 14:37.11
Comment: Third one off by just 2 + centers – it was a simple memorization mistake; I looked at U and memorized O instead of U. Really strange mistake – I’m sure it’s the first time I’ve ever done that; I would never normally confuse O and U.
6x6x6 BLD: 35:05.99 [16:16]
Comment: Somewhat slow, but not too bad, I guess. I made a couple of mistakes along the way and had to backtrack, so execution was kind of bad.
7x7x7 BLD: 53:28.80 [29:40]
Comment: Here the problem was memorization – I couldn’t get it to stick, so I had to refresh an extra time. But it really paid off – execution was pretty good. A nice reorient (30 pieces solved). My first successful 7x7x7 BLD this year! Finally!!! :D
3x3x3 multiBLD: 9/9 = 9 points, 42:52.89 [29:02]
Comment: Nice to finally get it. Now I can go for more starting next week.
3x3x3 OH: 49.86, 53.05, 49.43, 45.11, 34.65 = 48.13
3x3x3 WF: 1:43.84, 1:31.55, 2:03.06, 1:42.46, 1:45.69 = 1:44.00
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:24.70, 1:21.39, 1:16.75, 1:14.74, 1:28.63 = 1:20.95
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 37 moves
L R U2 D R2 F2 L F2 U2 L’ U L U L’ U F U F’ U B2 D’ B U2 B’ D B2 R’ F’ U’ F U R B F’ U2 B’ F

Premoves: B F’ U2 B’ F
X cross: L R U2 D R2
2nd pair: F2 L F2 U2 L’
3rd pair: U L U L’ U F U F’
4th pair: U B’ U2 . B
pseudo OLL: R’ F’ U’ F U R
insert at .: U2 B’ D’ B U2 B’ D B
B’ U2 U2 B’ become B2 before insertion; B B become B2 after insertion.

Comment: Somewhat nice insertion for a change. I really had trouble with this scramble; I found this not very good solution very close to the end of the hour.
2-4 relay: 1:56.48
2-5 relay: 4:46.08 [OP]
Magic: 10.31, 9.47, 10.41, 10.03, 8.71 = 9.94
Comment: OHITABLD, of course.
Master Magic: 4.15, 3.41, 3.88, 4.21, 4.52 = 4.08
Clock: 2:20.19 [0:27], 20.66, 21.72, 17.65, 17.84 = 20.07
MegaMinx: DNF [41:21.28, 20:22], 3:10.17, 3:32.04, 3:17.38, 2:45.14 = 3:19.86
Comment: BLD solve off by 8 corners and 11 edges. I realized at the end that I had missed at least one cycle of edges when memorizing. It was okay, though, because I must have messed up setup moves somewhere. One thing I don’t like about megaminx is that it seems like my DNFs are a lot more scrambled than they are on cubes. :(
Pyraminx: DNF [1:35.21], 19.75, 15.80, 16.08, 20.69 = 18.84
Comment: On the BLD solve I performed the edge flip algorithm wrong, so it was pretty scrambled.
Square-1: 7:58.00 [5:33], 27.55, 47.61, 28.91, 39.58 [P] = 38.70
Comment: BLD solve was case DA; I couldn’t remember the memo for it for a while. I eventually got it, though, and execution was pretty reasonable, so I’m happy.
Skewb: 4:28.31 [2:20], 24.11, 10.66, 19.52, 16.16 = 19.93
Comment: Slow on BLD; it’s really hard to stay good at BLD for all the puzzles at the same time! One practice solve a week on each one just isn’t enough. For a lot of the puzzles (like skewb), I actually use BLD solving memo techniques just to remember the algs that I need to solve them.

@Mats and Chris: Some great results this week! Chris, you’re insane at 4x4x4 BLD. Mats, it’s really hard to stay ahead of you – you’re always close. And you beat me at 2x2x2 BLD this week! Very nice!
 
3x3x3 22.93, 18.71, (25.43), 23.38, (17.02) = 21.67

4x4x4 128.46 123.62 133.51 (110.52) (137.58) = 2:08.53

Clock 19.91 (19.24) (22.02) 20.45 20.04 = 20.13

FMC 33
U L' U' R B R L F B2 R' B' R D2 F D' F' R' F' B R2 F B' D L2 F' D' F L2 B' U B' U' B

I found this in about 45 minutes, but I couldn't find anything better in the next 15 minutes. Although I did spend more time with the scramble and found a sweet solution which I will post in the FMC thread.

Doesn't the time you get have anything to do with it?
Click to expand...

Yes it does.
You have 10 min pr. cube, but you have a maximum of 60 min, so 7 cubes would give 70 min, but you only have 60 so you have to be fast.

The time also comes in when two have the same amount of points.

say 7/10 = 4 points on 56 min and a guy does 4/4 in 36 min, then the one with the shortest time wins.

So in short: the one with the most points win, if equal the the one with the shortest time wins.

Its written better in the WCA regulations ;)

I hope you understand :D
 
3x3x3: (51.76), 44.78, 44.11, (41.16), 41.36=43.42
Pyraminx: (15.61), (27.38), 24.66, 19.94, 22.47=22.36
