First solve was easy, 3rd was 2GLL, messed up 4th

 

[Specs112]

3x3: 18.24, 16.99, 19.59, 19.77, 18.79 = 18.88

Fewest Moves: 55 HTM
could be much better..

FMC : 33 moves Duh PB.

Scramble : R2 B' U2 B' F2 D2 R2 B D2 R2 F' R' D' U R U R2 F' D L' F
Solution : L2 D' B F2 L' F' U' F' U B D2 U' L U L' D2 F' L F U2 B F' L2 B' L F U F' U' L' U F U'

L2 D' B F2 L' F' U' F' U B // 2x2x2 with a 1x2x2 from same D layer. L2 D' B L' B is a good block, too.
D2 U' L U L' D2 // 2x2x3 with F2L pair but no cross edge attached on D
F' L F // F2L minus cross edge
U2 B F' L2 B' F // F2L (Oh, how I wish STM was used)
F' L F U F' U' L' U F U' // OLL with PLL skip. Two weeks in a row! F moves cancel completely.

Backup solution of 35 moves : L2 D' B F2 L' F' U' F' U B D2 U' L U L' D2 L F B' U' F' L' U' L U B' L' U D' B2 U' D L' B2 L

L2 D' B F2 L' F' U' F' U B D2 U' L U L' D2 // Same stuff I was doing above. Working on the D layer until now. Switching to R.
L F B' U' F' B // F2L on R layer and M slice
B' L' U' L U B // OLL
B2 L' U D' B2 U' D L' B2 L // Optimal U Perm. Two moves cancel into B'.

I think this would be my PB as well. Two really awesome solutions this week!

EDIT: WOO! Tied for second with Mike on Odder's site! Probably not in total though because people post here.

6x6x6: 6:09.16, 5:57.03, 6:31.97, 5:54.82, 5:26.57 = 6:00.34 :-(
7x7x7: 9:42.15, 10:08.61, 10:03.14, 8:17.62, 9:13.50 = 9:39.60

Nice job! I was really proud of my solution, too - it was a much better-than-average solution for me. I think you did great - congratulations!

 

[Jaycee]

Thanks, and congrats to you too It's funny for me because I know nothing about FMC, and I mean literally nothing. To me it's just "be a little more efficient than usual". Note : I went back to check my back-up solution again and found that it was really 35 moves!

 

[Cubenovice]

FMC: 33 HTM
5 minutes for leaving two flipped edges and 4 corners incl a twisted one.
Decided to just go for it and insert a "5-flip" and a 3 cycle.
Too bad there was no good insertion for flipper, last week I got a 24 HTM PB with it

Fun stuff

Spoiler

U2 L : D' U' B L // faulty Xcross
B' . U' B R U R' // take out faulty pair + make square
F' U2 L F L' // place pair and square leaves 4 corners (incl twisted one) and two flipped edges
5-flip in this location requires 2 set up moves so better insert it at . where it only takes 1
. = L B’ D’ B2 R’ B’ R2 D’ R’ D2 L’ to flip edges and 3 corners, solving the twisted one
Leaves 3 corners that I insert at : to cancel 3 moves
: = L’ D2 L U2 L’ D2 L U2

Final solution:
U2 D2 L U2 L’ D2 L U D' B L B' L B’ D’ B2 R’ B’ R2 D’ R’ D2 L’ U' B R U R' F' U2 L F L' = 33 HTM

Gah. On Odder's site, I entered in the time for my 2+3+4 Relay into the 2+3+4+5 box. I realized right away and changed it back to 0.00, but now I have a result of 0.00 in the rankings. Clearly this should not be counted.

 

[Yes We Can!]

(53.47), (38.27), 44.18, 49.55, 39.52 = 44.42
