Cube wide-range pentathlon

[Randomno]

A lot of people have something they excel in (generally 3x3), so I thought I'd see how well this idea goes down:

Goal: Complete a set of the 5 events listed below as fast as possible. Some of them are not WCA events, but are just variants and not new puzzles (except the non-WCA set/s ofc).

• 
  Set 1: 3x3 OH, 4BLD, 7x7, Megaminx, Skewb
  
  Set 2 (if you suck at 4BLD): 6x6, 3BLD, Pyraminx, Square-1, 2x2 OH
  
  Set 3 (if you generally suck at BLD): 3x3 feet, 5x5, Clock, Skewb, 3x3 OH
  
  Set 4 (if you love big cubes?): 4x4 OH, 7x7, 5BLD, Megaminx, Pyraminx
  
  Set 5 (if you hate big cubes?): 2BLD, 3x3, Skewb, Square-1, MBLD (2/2 obviously gets the best time)
  
  Set 6 (non-WCA puzzles): Floppy Cube (3x3x1, if you have a super floppy please treat like a regular), Mastermorphix, 8x8, Fisher Cube, Mirror Blocks (Mirror Blocks BLD for more challenge).
  
  Set 7 (cos people seem to hate BLD and Clock): 7x7, 2x2, Pyraminx OH*, Skewb, Square-1
  
  Set 8 (if you love BLD? Yeah right): 2x2 OH BLD, MBLD 4/4, Square-1 BLD, 5x5, 3x3 feet BLD

[IRNjuggle28]

Every set involves puzzles I don't own or can't solve BLD.

 

[G2013]

Set 1: 3x3 OH, 4BLD, 7x7, Megaminx, Skewb I can't do 4BLD

Set 2 (if you suck at 4BLD): 6x6, 3BLD, Pyraminx, Square-1, 2x2 OH I don't have a pyraminx

Set 3 (if you generally suck at BLD): 3x3 feet, 5x5, Clock, Skewb, 3x3 OH I won't do 3x3 feet, and I don't have a clock

Set 4 (if you love big cubes?): 4x4 OH, 7x7, 5BLD, Megaminx, Pyraminx I can't do 5BLD

Set 5 (if you hate big cubes?): 2BLD, 3x3 feet, Skewb, Square-1, MBLD (2/2 obviously gets the best time). I won't do feet, and I never had a MBLD success...

So I won't do anything.

But it seems to be a good challenge

 

[penguinz7]

Set 1: I don't do oh or 4bld
Set 2: I don't do 6x6
Set 3: Feet
Set 4: 5BLD
Set 5: Feet
Set 6: i don't own an 8x8

I actually really like this idea, but the sets should have more common puzzles/events. More Sets!

 

[gj matt]

heres some alternative sets

1 (small cubes): 2x2, 3x3, 2x2 OH, 3x3 OH, Pyraminx
2 (small to big): 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, megaminx
3 (big to small): 7x7, 6x6, 5x5, 4x4, 3x3 OH
4 (weird): megaminx, skewb, square 1, pyraminx, clock
5 (hard mode): megaminx BLD, 8x8 BLD+OH, 7x7 BLD with feet, 3x3 with tongue, 9x9 blindfolded OF (one footed) while doing a speedrun of super mario bros

 

[penguinz7]

^ I would do 1, 2 and 4 if i had a clock.
Some sets i came up with. These aren't exactly pentathlons but they would still be lots of fun.
Small To Big 2.0: 2x2 - 6x6
Weird 2.0: Pyra, BLD, Skewb, Square one, 2x2 OH
3x3-Ultra: 3BLD, OH, Three 3x3's in a row.
OH-Ultra: 4x4 OH, Pyraminx OH, 3x3 OH, 2x2 OH
Non WCA 2.0: Gear Cube, Dino Cube, any 3x3 Shape mod.

@Randomno You should add all these sets to one post.

2 (small to big): 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, megaminx
3 (big to small): 7x7, 6x6, 5x5, 4x4, 3x3 OH
4 (weird): megaminx, skewb, square 1, pyraminx, clock
5 (hard mode): megaminx BLD, 8x8 BLD+OH, 7x7 BLD with feet, 3x3 with tongue, 9x9 blindfolded OF (one footed) while doing a speedrun of super mario bros

They are nice, but I called it wide-range for a reason...

Yeah, might do that but I'm still concerned about the wide-range thing.

 

[EMI]

ok Set 2 in 5:06.56, the 6x6 part sucked badly. I remember 3BLD + 2x2 OH were like 1:44, and propably another 30 seconds for Square-1 and pyraminx

 

[Mollerz]

At first I thought this was kind of stupid, but I came back to it and I have to say I really like this idea, the whole point of the Modern Pentathlon is that the events are significantly different; fencing, 200 m freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a final combined event of pistol shooting, and a 3200 m cross-country run (similar to the biathlon).

3:42.89 in Set3, super weird to do!

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Why is mega always with Big BLD ;_;
More to the point, why is BLD included

I might just try set 3 at some point, it will be the only one I can reliably do.

 

[TDM]

Set 1: I can't do 4BLD
Set 2: my 3BLD accuracy isn't good (I haven't got a Mo3 since the first day I got a success), but this set is doable...
Set 3: I don't have a clock
Set 4: I can't 5BLD
Set 5: I've never got a 2/2 MBLD
Set 6: don't have any of them

I might do set 2, brb

 

[Randomno]

Added two more sets to the OP. I chaned set 6 from Super Floppy Cube to just Floppy, since it's more convenient. Also, I changed feet from set 5 to regular 3x3. Feet is still in set 3 though. >

Set 7 is for people who dislike BLD and don't have a Clock, since that seems to be a trend. Set 8 is for BLD lovers... Yeah, feet BLD.

Got a leaderboard now as well, thanks for the attempts.

 

[penguinz7]

Set 7 makes me really wish i had a 7x7.

 

[Ranzha]

Set 5 in 8:22.17
I'm so bad at BLD ugh
Splits
3x3: ~15
Skewb: ~6 (meh)
Square-1: ~30
2BLD (3x3 corners): ~58 (ew)
MBLD: ~6:30 (better than I expected)

 

[yoinneroid]

lol, I don't have 6x6, 7x7, skewb and non-wca puzzles, and I just can't do set 8

 

[Cale S]

set 1 - I'm really bad at 7x7, OH, and mega, but I could do it
set 2 - 8:00.72 first attempt
set 3 - I don't have a clock
set 4 - 7x7 and 4OH would take me forever, and I wouldn't get to count my 5BLD success. I could still do it though.
set 5 - 8:05.90 first success, feet took longest
set 6 - I don't have an 8x8, mastermorphix, fisher cube, or working floppy cube
set 7 - 7x7 would by far take the longest, but I could still do it
set 8 - lolno

I changed set 5 from feet to regular two hours before you posted.

Ya up for it again?

 

[Carrot]

Set 7: 7:29.39. spent over 6:35 on the 7x7x7.

 

[Genesis]

Set 7: 5:58.637
Could be faster, but haven't touched 7x7 in some time.... May try set3 some time later

 

[TDM]

Set 2: 11:19.16

3BLD and 6x6 were 9:5x, Pyra was ~15, 2OH was ~10 and Square-1 was something fast for me, idk
