4x4BLD: DNF(9:02.33), 11:47 (8:13), DNS, => 11:47
1st Second to last location was wrong switched two images.
2nd Used way too long time on reorienting, bad centers, too long time on memo should have been half, but nothing would stay in my head.
So far.
Feet: 59.27, 1:12.75, (1:14.93), (52.59), 1:11.22 => 1:07.75
Out of practice, and a cleaned cube is not a good combo.
2x2: (8.60), 3.31, 3.49, 3.24, (3.02) => 3.35 sec
Internal pop on the first solve :S SS/LPO ftw.
2x2x2:6.40, 8.53, 8.22, 6.61, 6.44 = 7.09 3x3x3: 23.36, 24.12, 20.91, 23.48, 23.56 = 23.47 4x4x4: 1:34.90 [OP], 1:29.10 [P], 1:39.24 [O], 1:39.44 [OP], 1:40.39 [OP] = 1:37.86 5x5x5:2:51.24, 2:43.22, 2:46.77, 2:32.07, 2:44.50 = 2:44.83
Comment: I have no idea why it was so awful this week. 6x6x6: 5:14.40, 5:13.25 [P], 5:25.69 [OP], 5:35.44, 5:24.68 [OP] = 5:21.59 7x7x7:7:57.48, 7:44.35, 6:49.24, 7:25.08, 7:39.70 = 7:36.38
Comment: Not a very good average, but a very nice single. 2x2x2 BLD: 32.89, 33.69, 28.85 = 28.85 3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:29.47], DNF [1:33.64], 2:04.05 = 2:04.05
Comment: Disaster! I was really nervous (and hence slow) doing the last one. First one was pretty scrambled because I got lost in the middle of flipping the edges at the end. Second one was off by 2 edges flipped due to a memorization mistake. 4x4x4 BLD: 8:54.95 [4:37], 8:35.47 [4:45], 8:30.05 [4:58] = 8:30.05
Comment: Consistently slow. 5x5x5 BLD: 18:40.25 [10:55], 13:16.23 [7:23], 14:28.99 [7:36] = 13:16.23
Comment: First one was so bad, second one was so good! 6x6x6 BLD:DNF [31:03.82, 15:37]
Comment: Off by just 4 outer wings. I had them memorized correctly at first, but I went back and checked the memo, and in the process dropped the letter “N” out of my memorization. That was all that was wrong. 7x7x7 BLD:DNF [1:07:42.42, 43:08]
Comment: I was tired and couldn’t get the memo to stick. It was ridiculous how bad it was. Anyway, I only missed by 3 outer + centers. 3x3x3 multiBLD:10/11 = 9 points, 60:00.00 [39:25]
Comment: I had trouble remembering the fourth, fifth, and sixth cubes. I skipped all three and finished the other cubes, went back and fixed the fifth, then fixed the sixth, and then I was trying to remember what I had forgotten on the fourth cube when the timer went off. After I looked at the other cubes and saw that they were all correct, I took a look at the first edge piece on the fourth cube and instantly remembered the memo; I pulled the blindfold back on and solved it just fine. I almost had it, but my memo failed me. 3x3x3 OH: 46.34, 44.65, 45.22, 49.22, 41.09 = 45.40 3x3x3 WF:2:07.15, 1:25.05, 1:55.68, 1:54.91, 1:57.52 = 1:56.04 3x3x3 Match the scramble:1:12.64, 1:20.87, 1:16.19, 1:44.35, 1:28.15 = 1:21.74 3x3x3 Fewest Moves:30 moves
R2 F2 D2 F’ L2 F L’ F’ L F2 U’ F R F’ L F R’ F’ L2 B’ F D’ F’ U’ F D B U2 F2 D’
Heise start:
first 2 squares: R2 F2 D2
third square: F’ L2 F L’ F’ L F2
fourth square: U’ . L’ B’ U’ . F B
assemble, making skeleton: U2 F2 D’
insert at first .: F R F’ L F R’ F’ L’
insert at second .: U F D’ F’ U’ F D F’
L’L’ become L2 after first insertion; U’ U cancel before second insertion; F’ F cancel after second insertion.
Comment: I was proud of this result, but then I saw everyone else’s and realized it wasn’t all that great. Obviously an easy scramble. I was surprised no one else made use of the R2 F2 D 2x2x2; I guess there really wasn’t a good way to build on it (although Heise didn’t do too bad with it).
Edit: Oh wait, I see okayama did find a good solution with R2 F2 D, albeit not within the hour. Good find, and very nice solve!
2-4 relay:2:08.56 [OP] 2-5 relay:4:48.22 [O] Magic: 10.00, 9.40, 8.93, 14.19, 12.68 = 10.69
Comment: OHITABLD, of course. A couple of terrible solves ruined it. Master Magic: 3.88, 3.77, 4.44, 4.02, 4.69 = 4.11 Clock:2:10.94 [0:23], 17.09, 15.27, 17.52, 17.83 = 17.48 MegaMinx:DNF [1:21:58.90, 42:45], 3:34.71, 3:26.65, 3:07.84, 3:08.55 = 3:23.30
Comment: BLD solve was described in the Blindfold Failures Thread; off by just one edge flipped, since I popped it and put it back in the wrong way. So very close. Pyraminx:1:19.06, 13.19, 12.90, 16.61, 13.68 = 14.49 Square-1:6:06.31 [3:22], 44.46, 45.75, 33.43, 32.47 = 41.21
Comment: BLD solve was case PV. Skewb:2:30.12 [1:02], 22.49, 22.60, 13.45, 21.19 = 22.09
Comment: BLD solve was really easy because only 2 corners were misoriented.
Rebecca Hughey: 3x3x3 BLD: DNF [13:55.64], DNF [13:56.31], DNF [7:21.74] = DNF
Comment: All three were pretty scrambled, but I know she knows what she’s doing, and I suspect she’s going to get one soon in this competition. Maybe next week.
3x3x3: 20.81, 19.53, (19.53), (21.14), 21.01 = 20.45 Oh well, I did well officially on the weekend 6x6x6: , , , , = 3:41.26 Lost the individual times. Had a bad pop at my competition so my average was about 4:30 2x2x2 BLD: DNF (28.53), 37.63, 48.88 = 37.63 3x3x3 BLD: DNF (4:49.46), 3:54.98, 4:12.38 = 3:54.98 Wow I forgot how to do parity it’s been so long. Got it right in the end though. 4x4x4 BLD: DNF (27:42.22[12]), DNF (26:00[11:30]), DNF (21:34.92[9:30]) = DNF First was very close, undid setup move wrong, second was terrible, third I missed 4 edges in memo.
2x2: 34.40, 41.75, DNF(45.39), 34.95, 56.93 = 44.54
3x3: dnf (2 flips), dnf (3 corners), dnf, 2:02.15 1:58.92 = dnf
4x4: dnf, dnf, dnf, dnf, dnf = DNF avg ca 8:00, all five one error each
5x5: dnf, dnf, dnf, dnf, dnf = DNF 17, 18, 17, 16, 19 only one close
6x6: dnf, dns, dns, dns, dns = DNF
2x2bld: 32.17, dnf, 42.42 = 32.17
3x3bld: 2:28.92, dnf, 1:47.92 = 1:47.92
4x4bld: dnf (7:15), dnf (7:02), dnf (9:02) = DNF
5x5bld: 19:55, dnf (15:21), 17:46 = 17.46
6x6bld: dnf (48:12) 5 edges, don't know why and memo was very slow
7x7bld: dnf (1:22:20) unbelivably stupid. Everything ok BUT I just forgot to solve inner +-centers!!! Slow memo here too.
Fast exec (even if you consider the time spared at not solving those centers)
Multi: 8/10 = 6 in 54:09. Someday I'll get it. One had two flips (faulty analysis ) and one was messed up.
AWESOME SCRAMBLE. Should have done better, but I'm glad I finally got another sub-30, haven't done that in too long.
scramble: U2 B D' B R U2 R U' R2 B D R2 U L B R D' R
Solution: L D L' D L' B' L B2 U2 R2 B U' L' U R' U' L U B' R B2 R2 D' R' B' R B D R (29)
Premove R
2x2x2: L D L' D (4|4)
2x2x3: L' B' L B2 U2 (5|9)
pseudo-f2l: R2 B * R' B' R B2 R2 (7+1|16+1)
edges: D' R' B' R B D (6|22+1)
fix premove: R (1|23)
Insert U' L' U R' U' L U R (6|29) at *, 2 moves cancel.
So many other good options...my first go was (premove R2) L D L' D / L' B' L B2 U2 / R' B2 R / R B2 R' B U' B' U / U' B' U B U R' U' R B' / R2, which is a 25 move skeleton.
Next I found that skeleton, afterwards I did (premove R) L D L' D / B2 R' B' R U2 / B R' B R2 WTF 13+1 move F2L
My last shot was L D L' D / B2 R2 B' R2 U2 / R' U R2 U' / B R B R', which is an 18-move 4-corner skeleton. I'm taking this one to the FMC thread, I really need to learn how to do 4-corner insertions...
This scramble was so nice. I tried NISS-ing like 2 things, but there were just so many options on the forward scramble it didn't even seem necessary.
