L2 B' L2 B L2 B' L2 B L B' [Leaving three corners]
B' R' B L' B' R B L [L3C]

Found this mediocre start at 55 minutes, didn't bother with insertions.
FMC#3: 29 moves :)
U L U2 R' F D2 B R F B' L B R2 B' L' B U' R' F R L2 F' D' U L2 D U' F' L2

U L U2 R' F [Two squares]
D2 B R F R2.U' R' F R [Leaving three corners and edges]
L2 F' D' U L2 D U' F' L2 [Solving edges]

To solve the corners insert R2 B' L B R2 B' L' B at dot (two moves cancel)

Even nicer in STM (26).

3x3 = (42.48), 34.04, 38.66, (25.52), 40.06, 39.31, 31.12, 32.23, 32.18, 27.84, 27.02, 40.38 = 34.28
only one second from my PB Ao12!!! 25.52 almost new PB, but locked up in my U-perm :(
4x4 = 4:24.91, 4:01.96, 2:54.89, 2:50.66, 4:07.88, 3:47.16, (2:32.66), 2:58.99, 2:57.64, 3:05.97, 3:25.60, 2:59.86 = 3:19.06
NEW PB and new PB Ao5: 03:00.87 (solves 7-11) Haven't done 4x4 in a really long time, so the first solves were pretty bad, but after that it went good!
5x5 = 5:50.30, (11:26.87), 5:33.55, 5:44.83, 6:02.62, 6:36.75, 5:49.10, 5:30.16, 5:25.91, 6:50.98, (4:58.40), 6:20.60 = 5:58.48
YEAH NEW PB, second solve: couldn't remember my oll-alg, performed it wrong (around 7 minutes then) and had to go back to the centers, so that sucked.

2-4 relay = 4:15.11
2-5 relay = 10.14.80 5x5 is really bad, I average like around 6/7 minutes, so...

Pyraminx = 15.25, 23.33, (10.16), 30.11, 28.96, 28.97, 24.60, 17.83, 31.10, (32.13), 28.90, 23.10 = 25.22
Really bad Ao12 for me (normal = 20 sec.), haven't touched my pyraminx in a very long time...

7x7 - 9:40.62, 10:22.26, 10:10.85, 8:30.92, 9:11.03 Not finishing this...just takes too much time
2x2 BLD - DNF, 2:01.09, DNF, 1:27.14, 1:46.12+ = 1:27.14 Used Old Pochmann, never done that before, so definitely happy with 3 successes :)
3x3 BLD - 2:58.72, 4:46.21, DNF, DNF, DNF = 2:58.72 never even tried 3BLD before this month, so very happy :)
3x3 OH - 38.54, 43.16, 49.90, 50.86, 59.54, 42.19, 34.75, 43.52, 59.72, 38.73, 38.40, 54.03 = 45.89 LOLOH
3x3 MTS - 1:47.45, 1:26.76, 1:50.73, 1:50.76, 1:36.13, 2:39.86, 1:39.33, 2:13.35, 1:34.61, 1:33.46, 1:29.85, 1:56.48 = 1:45.02
2-4 Relay - 1:52.79 haven't done relays in awhile so this is a PB
2-5 Relay - 5:03.65 again, PB because it has been a long time since I did a 2-5 relay
Megaminx - 2:07.43, 2:30.83, 1:52.87, 2:06.01, 2:08.35, 2:11.82, 2:19.65, 2:11.38, 2:21.24, 2:26.00, 2:26.64, 2:10.00 = 2:14.85
Sq-1 - 1:06.29, 1:06.01, 50.74, 53.32, 52.28, 1:08.22, 1:16.18, 39.45, 1:16.50, 46.02, 54.90, 52.13 = 58.61 I haven't practiced Square-1 in a long time. I completely failed to remember how to do anything resembling 'intuitive' cubeshape, only remembered 2 EO algs, messed up CP at least half the time, and the only EP algs I remembered were the 2 U-perms on top, and Opposite parity.

Damn, should have done some warmup solves >_>

DNF because took too long
messed up notation of U-perm: wrote L instead of D turns so inversing the NISS part did not solve the cube
by the time I figured out where I had gone wrong the hour was up
and lateron no insertion found for the U-perm...

FMC 3: 35 HTM
Initial start R U B’ F’ R 2x2x2 5 – 5
Then spend some time playing around with some inserted moves to get a better continuation.

Then found U’ R U2 B’ F’ R L B L U all but 6 corners 10 – 10
Leaves three cycles because both 3-cycles have a twisted corner (cycle doesn’t “close”)

U’ R U2 B’ F’ R L B # L U

At # insert U2 B D @ B’ U2 B D’ B’ solves 2 leaves 3rd flipped in place 8 - 18
At @ insert L F L’ B’ L F’ L’ B + solves 1, leaves 3 corners, 8 - 26
At + insert L L2 B’ R’ B L2 B’ R B L’ solved A9 comm 9 - 35

Solution:
U’ R U2 B’ F’ R L B U2 B D L F L’ B’ L F’ L’ B L’ B’ R’ B L2 B’ R B L’ B’ U2 B D’ B’ L U 35 HTM

FMC 3 Revisited solution with alternative insertions: 30 HTM (out of competition)
U’ R U2 B’ F’ R L B L U all but 6 corners 10 – 10
Leaves three cycles because both 3-cycles have a twisted corner (cycle doesn’t “close”)

U’ R U2 # B’ @ + F’ R L B L U

At # insert U B D B' U' B D' B' solves 2, leaves 3rd flipped in place cancel 2 moves 6 - 16
At @ insert B' U' B D' B' U B D solves 1, leaves 3 corners, cancel 1 move 7 - 23
At + insert D2 L U L' D2 L U' L' done, cancel 1 move 7 - 30

Solution:
U' R U' B D B' U' B D' B U' B D' B' U B D' L U L' D2 L U' L' F' R L B L U Total 30 HTM
