and mine: DNF (insertion fael)
but here is what I got and I've added optimal insertions...
U' R2 L U' L2 F2 // 2x2x2 and some pair
B' (1) L B L' B2 // pseudo 2x2x3 and more pair
U2 L' U2 F U F' // pseudo F2L-1 and pairs
L U L' U' B' U2 // EO and EP (leave 4 corners)
(1): F2 U' B U F2 U' (2) B' U
(2): D' B' U' B D B' U B
cancels 5 moves and gives 34 move solution.

DYK:
...Megaminx J-perms blow Daniel's mind?
...Sub-1 Megaminx Average FINALLY!
...6 Failed bigBLDs, 3 failed 3BLDs and didn't even attempt multi?
...And I'm now on a 17 BLD DNF streak?
...This comp has shown me that organising need not be stressful...
...Especially when people are actually helpful!
...I got 16 PBs (17 but 4avg twice)!...
...And I still suck at 3x3?
...I have no idea how I got my great 5x5 average?
...I had 7x7 NR average for about 5 minutes?
...And I surprisingly only had 2 oblique pops in the entire Mo3?
...Frisbee is fun?
...BV is a walking machine?
...The porter for the venue was awesome, he kept the door open by putting a bin in the way?
...We finished early on saturday, but late on sunday because everything got delayed by my 2nd 5BLD atttempt (yeah, sorry about that guys :| )?
...Having a long time for lunch on both days is really nice...
...Especially when it means people have time to do multi and not run over into the next event?
...Quite a few people didn't turn up?
...And in some cases, this was a bit of a shame?
...Organising consecutive comps was... Interesting?
...Callum hates swag?
...Conor got 3 AfRs?
...Team Thom?
...The plan for feet was to get people to judge those who wouldn't get an average to start things off...
...Which would have worked, but then both the people we tried made the cutoff >_> !
...No comp pizza actually worked out quite nicely?
...Magic racing is probably a /really/ bad idea?
...WHERE WAS TIM!?!?!?!?!??!?! D:<
...I have now organised 1/3 of my comps, and I think it's probably time for a bit of a break from it?
...Can't wait until the next one!
I had a great weekend, and it was good to meet up with some people again. Hopefully I'll see some of you who had to drop out at the next one.
Thanks so much to Ryan and Rob for helping me run the comp, and to BV, for helping me out with data entry and scrambling loads. I had a really great weekend, and I hope everyone else did as well!
Also, I think I'm going to give organising a rest for a couple of months now, but I'm sure I'll do another comp at some point, so keep an eye out
Also: Footage. Who has my NR mega avg on camera? Can you get it to me somehow please.
Callum, do you want me to upload your feet solves?

Hello! I thought I was alone too
Great job
well the nearest comp to me is in Dubai , in just 1 a week I guess and I'm having my finals right now
I don't think I will be able to attend any competition in the near future , not before 2014 I guess :/
but that's not bad , I need to get my times down to SUB1 on 3BLD and SUB10 on 4BLD before competing
what do you average on 3BLD btw ?I'm really happy to find another african here , that's very nice actually

Oh I see, yeah it's a lot easier for me to attend comps because I live in the UK now, there really needs to be competitions in Africa
Wow, you're a lot better than me I have catching up to do! My pb is 1:59 but I usually average about 2:30..Great to meet you!

Great to meet you!
no I average the same as you on 3BLD now
PB 1:52 but I will begin practicing again in the summer , I'm honestly not interested except in Bldsolving and yes we need more comp in Africa , and we need A WCA delegate too , to make it easier to organize comps
Great to meet you too

Did you know:
- I faeld at roux, and didn't get any PBs for 3x3?
- Nevins didn't turn up so we couldn't attach keychain cubes to his earrings?
- I had no parity in ANY of the sq1 scrambles in the first round?
- Ollie's 5BLD success wasn't even NR?
- Dan hit Martin Berger in the head with the 3x3 scrambles?
- My ShengShou 6x6 and 7x7 didn't pop at all, but my 5x5 popped twice?

DYK:
- Having Callum and Billy here was much fun.
- CHJ got drunk on Friday, attempted sozzle2BLD and got bored during memo xD
- I've now eaten dinner in Mooch for five consecutive days.
- So many weird/impressed/etc. looks in Mooch over the course of the weekend.
- 2nd in clock and now in global top 40, but both my clock averages had two 7's and an 8. First round had a 12 and an 11, final had a 12 and a DNF 9. >.>
- Swag.
- First BLD success, on 4th comp attempt came 4th by ~4 minutes xD
- PB Mega Ao5 in the final
- CHJ's Mega U-Perms and BLD gestures are fun to watch
- Had to teach people clock notation so that we actually had scramblers for the final xD
- Roughly 6 working displays at any point during the weekend...
- Really need to work on addressing large groups of people...
- Laurence still has my t-shirt
- Failing hard at 7 man factory solving, I think our best was 27-28?
- Random european guy asked us for wording/romance advice on the way home??
- Moar swag.
- ~75 year age gap between youngest and oldest competitors xD
- Unexpected feet mean and 555 average yay, the former slowed down the comp a bit, but I won't be doing feet again anytime soon, dw. :b
- Now last in the UK for MBLD after Billy and CHJ selfishly got decent results (well done guys)
- BLD magic racing! (videos to follow :b)
- 'La Giaconda' is now F-Perm, according to Dan xD
Thanks to Chris who did the majority of the organisation for the competition. Three comps in and I'm still learning the ropes and stuff, but I aim to be more useful next time, haha! Sorry for any inadequacies over the weekend.
Taking a break from cubing between now and at least the end of the exam period, so no Cambridge for me, but possibly Manchester comp if that goes ahead, and if not, then definitely UKO13.
Cheers for an awesome weekend guys, and I'll see you all soon

I've taken someone's square-1 by accident, it's an mf8 I believe. White/yellow for top/bottom, red/orange for front/back. It's kinda tight but still decent. I can take photos of the puzzle if you're not sure if it's yours.
