10min first 4, 10min middle 4, 10min last 4, 5min repeat first 4, 5min repeat middle 4, 5min repeat last 4, 1min memo last cube, g0 g0 g0 14 minutes 13 cubes ^^
 
6x6x6: (5:58.48), 5:34.14, 5:35.97, 5:56.03, (5:32.52) = 5:42.05
PP, DP, PP, NP, OP

7x7x7: 9:17.63, (10:11.14), 10:03.01, (9:02.91), 9:09.42 = 9:30.02

3x3x3 Blindfolded: 2:36.08, DNF [3:50.05], DNF [4:32.19] = 2:36.08
2nd: Off by 3 corners
3rd: 2 twisted corners left (memo miss)

4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF [14:02.97], DNF [21:09.53], DNS = DNF
1st: frequently memo (7:23.34) and execution, but some pieces off...
2nd: Off by 3 wing edges. memo: 6:48.96, fast, but much recall delay in execution...

5x5x5 Blindfolded: 33:12.59, DNS, DNS = 33:12.59
1st: relatively slow memo: 18:53.40, but frequent execution.

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 3/5 (42:57.09) memo: 29:34.43
2nd: Off by 3 corners (target miss)
5th: 2 flipped edges left

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 31 HTM
Scramble: B U L U B' F R F' D2 R' B' U' F D' B' D' R2 F'
Solution: B' F L' B L F' L' B2 F2 D' L' F2 L' F2 U2 F' L2 D' L B' U B' R B2 R' B' U' L' B' R' U'

Pre-scramble: L' B' R' U'

1st square: B' * L' B'
2nd square: F2
3rd square: D' L' F2 L'
F2L minus 1 slot: F2 U2 F' L2 D' L
4th square: B' U B' R B2 R'
All but 3 corners: B' U'
Correction: L' B' R' U'

Insert at *: F L' B L F' L' B' L

Hmm. No Sub 30 solution was found this time...
On the inverse scramble, there are some nice starts:

1st square: F' L U'
2nd square: D2 F D2, or, D2 B R2

but couldn't find a good finish in time.

FMC: DNF
I write it wrong the scramble.

R’U’LDL’FU2D2B’R2L2DB2U’R2URUD’F’R2U’D’
R’U’LDL’ Guimond 1. step, and 2 edges,
FU2D2B’R2L2 more 4 edges,
DB2U’R2 continuation of corners solution,
URUD’F’R2U’D’ 6E4C.
Incredibly lucky solution in the beginning to the end. :)

I can't seem to get yours to work. I wind up with 4 corners and 4 edges wrong, which would seem to imply you're missing a single move somewhere?

I'm astonished at the move count - I thought this was a TERRIBLE scramble; I got 42 moves. My worst attempt in weeks. So I'd love to see what you did.

Yes, i write it wrong the last move of scramble ( insteadF' i write F), my solution DNF. :(
Erik: Thanks your correction.
 
3x3x3BLD: 1:15.16 DNS DNS
4x4x4BLD: 6:04.27 6:39.25 DNF
5x5x5BLD: 13:19.63 14:07.50 13:39.78

Done BLD

4x4x4: 5:46.46 5:41.15 15:56.78 DNS DNS = DNF
comment: As weird as this may sound, that 15:56.78 solve was, in my opinion, my best solve this week. I did the solve shortly before midnight, and I knew while memorizing that I was getting really tired. I tried to do the synergistic thing, but I could tell that memo was not sticking at all. I gave it my all and still tried to go quickly, then started solving. During wings I realized that I had forgotten 3 different images in 3 different locations. Recall felt like swiss cheese. I did 3 pickup cycles on this one solve alone (something I've never done). I had to letter search to find all 3 images, and I found the first two relatively quickly. I must have delayed 7-8 minutes on the 3rd image alone. Even with the letter searching I just could not find that image. When I finally recalled what it was I literally hit my palm against my forward and went "duh!" and solved it. I also realized that during memo I had swapped I and J for one of the images, but I had a visual recollection of where the piece was supposed to go so I used that instead of what I actually memo'd. Opening my eyes to this solved cube felt way more intense than any of the other solves I did this week!
5x5x5: DNF DNF 13:20.24 13:01.31 DNF = DNF
comment: I'm not very happy with my accuracy for these 5 solves, but I learned a lot about what causes some of my DNFs from the post mortems on these 3 solves.
 
2x2: 17.69, 25.07, 20.85, 12.80, 10.33 = 17.11
3x3: 51.38, 50.64, 43.81, 48.19, 1:41.95 = 50.07
4x4: 2:21.03, 3:15.38, 2:21.54, 2:33.33, 3:20.20 = 2:43.42

2x2BLD: 25.45, 24.81, 54.65 [ 24] = 24.81
3x3BLD: 1:40.91 [ 47], 1:50.71 [ 44], DNF [1:37.88, 46] = 1:40.91
4x4BLD: DNF [8:45.56, 5:12], DNF [8:06.91, 4:25], 7:02.90 [ 2:41] = 7:02.90
5x5BLD: DNF [18:01, 9:30], DNF [15:15, 8:52], DNF [18:58, 11:28] = DNF
6x6BLD: DNF [36:26, 20:22] = DNF
7x7BLD: DNF [1:02:00, 31:37] = DNF
Multi: 7/10 = 4 in 59:17 [40:35]
On one cube I lost orientation, don't know how.
One had three corners and three edges off, don't know why.
One cube I forgot the corners but for the person (first two letters),
saved that to last. After a long while I got it, but then I just did what I had forgotten,
not the first two letters :(. (But I knew I was in a hurry then).

Not a good place to post, right after Chris, but so what :). I know your results was not good
by your standards, but compared to mine...

Bad week in all. The last 4x4 could have been so much better (sub-6) if I hadn't forgot the
person for the first 12 edges. I really think I used a minute there, going alphabetically. Or
used Chris's pickup solve, done all edges but the first two and then picked them up at the end.
I've never done that, less so intentionally but it is a good idea.

DNF:s on both 6x6 & 7x7 and one or two of the 5x5 all come from turning the wrong layer
in spite of the mind knowing the correct one. Concentration....

Amazing! well done!
 
2x2 : 9.31 10.26 (11.89) (8.42 ) 8.75 = 9.44
3x3 : 34.69 31.48 30.49 (35.02) (25.99) = 32.22
FMC : 6+(7+6+4+12)+(15)+(14)=64

my first trial of FMC... so difficult!

Welcome to the wonderfull world of FMC!

FMC results are typically written as:
FMC: 64 HTM

You should also provide your solution (preferably with details, although for a CFOP solve it will be quite obvious)
The solution is typically put under [ spoiler ] tags so other participants are not influenced.

Feet: 51.96, 54.55, (46.11), 50.08, (58.52) => 52.20
Very bad when my warm up (50 solves) had two sub-30s and a few sub-40s, on the last I did two PLLs (E and then R) Too many mistakes.
 
2x2x2: (8.37) - 8.22 - 8.02 - (5.64) - 7.94 = 8.06
3x3x3: 25.44 - 24.78 - (27.80) - 25.04 - (23.42) = 25.09 (Pretty much given up on 3x3, just not getting better.)
4x4x4: (1:40.25) - 1:30.46 - 1:31.12 - (1:27.90) - 1:31.13 = 1:30.90 (PB avg and Sub-90 Mo3!)
5x5x5: 3:32.92 - (3:13.79) - 3:19.59 - (3:41.20) - 3:30.83 = 3:27.78 (Nice, sub-3:30)
2BLD: 1:05.93 - 46.18 - 39.14 = 50.42
3BLD: DNF - DNF - DNF = DNF (Given up pasting the times becuase it just isn't worth it)
3x3x3OH: 1:06.57 - 1:02.31 - (1:10.14) - (57.31) - 1:03.02 = 1:03.97
3x3x3MTS: (1:17.13) - 1:42.57 - 1:18.86 - 1:54.30 - (1:56.31) = 1:38.58
2x2x2+3x3x3+4x4x4: 2:16.23
2x2x2+3x3x3+4x4x4+5x5x5: 6:02.53
Magic: 1.59 - 1.58 - 1.57 - (1.50) - (1.63) = 1.57
Clock: (42.89) - (31.18) - 37.24 - 36.38 - 31.97 = 35.20
MegaMinx: 2:22.22 - 2:25.72 - (2:28.35) - 2:23.81 - (2:16.71) = 2:23.92 (Nice!)
PyraMinx: (12.90) - 10.34 - 11.00 - 10.23 - (7.21) = 10.52
Square-1: 1:22.25 - 1:13.34 - 1:11.71 - 1:28.37 - 1:30.29 = 1:21.65
Skewb: (8.61) - (4.87) - 6.84 - 7.21 - 6.90 = 6.98 (I've been practicing :) A nice few easy cases too.)
 
3x3: (12.04), 9.49, 10.89, (9.49), 10.25 = 10.21
2x2: 2.82, 3.39, 3.29, (2.32), (DNF) = 3.17
Pyra: (4.31), (10.46), 7.94, 6.36, 6.39 = 6.90
OH: (15.57), 18.38, 19.63, (21.23), 18.89 = 18.96
