As always: Competition starts now and ends sunday/monday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line.

This weeks competition still doesn't include some Other events for competition yet because no event has gotten 10 or more votes yet. If you want more events, please vote in that topic! Some puzzles ALMOST have the 10 votes, so you can make the difference!

Alot better than last week! I just started off good, and it went well!
I had hoped the the 25.72 would be my slowest solve, but oh well!

2x2 BLD: (DNF) (1:23.99)
I tried to do a wierd mix of Pochmann and 3-cycle on the first one.

More to come...

Was that a good or bad average for you? [/b][/quote]
Average average! :) I don't really practise this one! I do one face, OLL + PLL, so no fast fancy methods!

3x3x3: Average - 28.41
30.97 (32.48) 27.55 26.70 (25.83)

Hm, maybe warm-ups are good for me.

4x4x4: Average - 2:12.60 / 132.60
(2:46.53 OP) (1:56.86 O) 2:09.53 OP 1:59.75 OP 2:10.33 OP

Soooo many parities... :(

5x5x5: Average - 2:45.58 / 165.58
(2:24.92) (2:53.64) 2:45.28 2:43.78 2:47.67

First solve was amazingly easy... It may have thrown off the rest of my solves, but the average is pretty average for once (they're generally better than normal on these competitions >.<).

Need to work on F2L on all cubes, it's gotten a little slower.

I'll do the others later, it's a little late to cube for me.

3x3 Avg: 24.98
25.46 (22.09) 22.19 27.28 (31.15)

Still Sub-25 :) Got lucky, actually; I knew the OLLs for the first three (I only know 20 OLL cases), and two of them were the same, easy case.

3x3 OH Avg: 1:08.6
1:14.59 1:01.65 1:09.56 (46.21) (1:25.75)

Sweet. I almost never practice OH, and the 46.21 is a new PB. Nice improvement over last week.

I have something I have to do and will go do the BLD solves a bit later.

3x3 BLD:
DNF

Grr...4:30. I think I messed up a setup move. Doing the second one a bit later.

I hope what I have to say about my next attempt sounds crazy :)

After a talk with Chris ... haha, this second 5x5 attempt will be insane ...

And, does this competition end? I mean, will there be a point where we reset the points?

well thanks arnaud, but my 5 times should have been better. I had to take a month off because my cubesmith order came exactly a month from when I ordered it, and also, my professor isn't as good as I would like it to be (I'm a little faster on my eastsheen). My 4 times should also be a little faster (1:40ish avg).

masterofthebass: I told you it would be close!

Name: Arnaud van Galen

2x2x2
Times: (7.25), 7.97, 9.26, 8.12, (9.62)
Average: 8.45
Comment: Exact same average as last week, only more consistent

3x3x3
Times: (30.92), 26.43, (20.94), 23.28, 24.36
Average: 24.69
Comment: Very good. I have been training for the US Open and I have been getting sub 25 averages continuously. I even get a sub 20 at least once every 12 solves (mostly luckies).

3x3x3 One Handed
Times: 49.05, (1:00.66), 52.02, 57.34, (43.92)
Average: 52.80
Comment: Pretty good, but inconsistent

4x4x4
Times: (1:45.99)(O), 1:45.18(O), 1:43.95, 1:41.27(P), (1:39.26)(P)
Average: 1:43.47
Comment: Average, but very consistent

5x5x5
Times: 2:51.87, 2:43.33, (2:37.13), (2:54.56), 2:37.52
Average: 2:44.24
Comment: Pretty good, but still disappointing because I just did 2:29, 2:26, 2:42, 2:48, 2:57=2:40 as a warm-up. I broke my speedcube during the 2:42 and had to replace some pieces. That average could have been sub 2:30! After the repair my cube is much more likely to pop.

2x2x2 blindfolded
Times: 1:44.45, 1:27.50
Best: 1:27.50
Comment: Same tactic as last week: Fast on the first, faster on the second. That second scramble was EASY!

3x3x3 blindfolded
Times: 10:23.29, DNF
Best: 10:23.29
Comment: Second one was a mess. First one should have been faster. The first scramble had an interesting option and I would like to discuss that in this topic: http://z12.invisionfree.com/rubiks/index.php?showtopic=1041
