Clock N' Cats 2018

11.65 official PB average
.1 improvement from last weekend
2+ on an official 9.44 PB single in finals, missed out on an 11.34 average.

7x7, PRed by a lot. 10 second in single and 13 seconds in mo3

Failed mega, entirely missed podium.

Sub 50 average in feet, but I messed up two solves and got 58+, corner twisted a 33 and got a 47 instead, missed 1st place by a second and top WR100 by half a second.
Then the kid who got first didn't want a second round, so now I'm going to be stuck with these (mediocre) results for another year because feet.

I managed to qualify for Nats in 4x4 with a 1:07 average and I got my second best ever, a 56.8!

In One Handed, I qualified for nationals with a 30.03 average, and in finals, I got an overall PB Average of 29.20 with an overall PB Single 22.92!

Square 1 went unexpectedly well with a 30 average and a 24 single, both overall PBs.

In other news, I got a 3.8 Skewb single, a good 3x3 Average, and a decent clock average.

I recently got a PB of 6.75 for 3x3x3. When I started my first speedcubing stint the world record was the famous 7.08. This is the first time I have gone faster than that (my previous PB was 7.50).

I'm not sure if this is any good for big cubes, and though it has some major regripping, I still use for TH and OH.
Maybe I should find a better alg too...

This alg's fine; it has no regrips if you are comfortable doing U moves by pushing with your left index finger.

So I had a bunch (300+) of feet times written in a notebook, so I spent 20m manually entering them into cstimer, and it turns out that I had improved a bunch.

30.92 single
36.84 mo3
38.06 ao5
41.72 ao12
45.01 ao50
46.22 ao100

Relubed my Wuji after the fourth solve; the 4:02.121 was briefly a PB single and I broke it half an hour later with a 3:50.466. I'm so done with 7×7×7 now.

At last! I finally got my first sub 30 FMC solution. I am really happy with this solution, especially since I was able to get to AB4C in just 21 moves. The scramble was from the Weekly Berkley FMC, so in case anyone is going to do it, I put it all in spoilers.

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

F B R2 D R' U2 R2 U'//2X2X2 [8/8]
B' L D B L'//F2L-1 [5/13]
D' B' D B2 R' B' R D //AB4C [8/21]

1st Skeleton: F B R2 D R' & U2 R2 U' B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D [21 moves]
Insert at &: R' D' R U2 R' D R U2 [cancels 4 moves]

2nd Skeleton: F B R2 D R2 D' R U2 R' D R' $ U' B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D
Insert at $: R U' L' U R' U' L U [cancels 4 moves]

Final solution:
F B R2 D R2 D' R U2 R' D U' L' U R' U' L B' L D B L' D' B' D B2 R' B' R D [29 moves]

Lit day for PBs:
2.07 Skewb single (this was yesterday oh well). 3 moves to sledge.
51.44 megaminx single (down from 55.33). It was kinda lucky. skipped EP and had some other lucky stuff, but not sure how it go so fast.
.49 2x2 single (down from 1.10). Scramble was U' R' U' R. Solution was y2 L' U L U. Didn't think my first sub-1 would be so fast.
