Weekly competition 2007-27 (2,3,3OH,4,5,BF,SQ1,MG,FMC,MM)

[hdskull]

Whoah Hdskull, nice BLD times! I think you memo'd faster than I did this week!for you butfor me.

thanks justin, i think it's just that the first solve for my BLD was easy to remember for the faces i solve with:

EP (7 12 6 2 3) (4 5 10 9 11) lol i remember it starts with 7-11+1 and then the 6 2 3 with shape, and 4 5 10 911(as in 911) haha

CP was memorized as a shape

EO and CO were memorized in what moves i have to do.

I'm SO HAPPY!!!

btw, my numbering system might be different from yours. and on the 2nd solve EO was funny i remember 4 switch on top and 2 edge on both sides, can believe i still remember, haha.

3x3x3 OH
Average: 38.83
Times: (36.53), 39.65, (41.25), 36.61, 40.22

This would have been good two week ago, but I have been improving rapidly and now usually average around 35 so this is actually bad.

4x4x4
Average: 1:28.53
Times: 1:33.84, (1:11.63), (1:45.56 OP), 1:14.53, 1:37.22

Very good solves with almost no parities.

5x5x5
Average: 2:50.12
Times: 2:48.90, 2:52.52, (2:45.19), (3:12.16), 2:48.94

Wow! I don't think I have ever had a sub 3:10 average, and now this! I think that this makes up for the OH!

Square-1
Average: 1:21.26
Times: (1:32.66), 1:26.88, 1:19.47, 1:17.44, (56.16)

I think that parities are more common on this puzzle than 1/2, because I almost always have 4/5.

Good results, except square...

I think these have been some of your best results so far. I'm interested in your BLD the most, you just seem to keep on improving!

Ah, no problem for me

 

[tim]

Ah, no problem for me

Those arent't hours, Kai ;P.
And i'm still waiting for your bld solves ^^.

 

[AvGalen]

All 5 4x4x4 solves were below 59 seconds????? Did you have any parities?

8,38 is a time most people would find ok without the blindfold on a 2x2x2. That must have been 4 seconds inspection, 0,38 seconds to pull down the blindfold and 4 seconds to speedsolve it

Was the 41,27 a lucky solve or did you just take 25% percent of your time again?

Next time I see you we can do a race: I do 2-3-4-5 sighted, you do 2-3-4 blindfolded ok?

Have fun in Sweden next week and maybe in Finland this week?

Yes I had parities.
The 41,27 wasn't lucky, just an ok solve.
Okay.
I'll be in Sweden, thanks.

No complaints here! Alltough I am getting more and more inconsistent thanks to maving to a new house, but the HEAVIEST part is over now it's just sorting and cubing again....

EDIT: Mátyás where is your 3x3 OH time!?

 

[AvGalen]

I did all events (again) today. I did 5 warmup solves before competing. Only the first blindfold is my time from the cube meeting because I still remembered part of it so redoing it would not be ok. I hope we don't get any other events in the near future because I just "wasted" my entire afternoon on this

2x2x2: 9.46, 8.93, (12.77), 10.01, (8.57) = 9.47
3x3x3: 24.87, (28.03), 27.06, (19.53), 26.07 = 26.00

5x5x5: (2:41.12), 2:48.87, 2:47.51, (3:05.39), 2:56.48 = 2:50.95
2x2x2_bf: 1:40.49, DNF = 1:40.49
3x3x3_bf: 14:17.99, DNF = 14:17.99
Square-1: (2:44.36)(P), 1:40.87 (P), 1:41.08, 1:40.86, (1:31.83) = 1:40.94
Magic: 2.27, (1.74), 1.75, (2.31), 2.17 = 2.06
MegaMinx: (4:52.45), 4:45.62, (3:38.32), 3:59.10, 4:15.43 = 4:20.05

EDIT: Mátyás where is your 3x3 OH time!?

Hey Rama you have already competed in this week's OH competition !!!

 

[AvGalen]

I just redid all the solves (except blindfolded) to make sure the scrambles were correct Maybe Rama did the same?

More serious question: Unless you specifically tell me, I won't process the results that were done at the cube meeting. If you want all your results (or some) to be used as "official" solves, tell me before next sunday please.

 

[Mátyás Kuti(shaipo)]

Sorry, I forgot to post my OH results.

3x3x3 OH:
Times: 20,79 19,82 (22,7) (18,48) 19,38
Average: 20,00

 

[AvGalen]

No problem Mátyás, the competition is still open untill I post the results.

In january, I predicted a couple of pretty tough times would be reached this year, you were so close to beating one.....

3x3x3-single: sub 9 (still likely to happen)
3x3x3-average: sub 10 (I am not so sure about this one anymore, hopefully someone will prove me wrong)
3x3x3_oh-single: sub 18 (done)
3x3x3_oh-average: sub 20 (still likely to happen)

Oh, and all of these should be done in an official WCA-competition offcourse.

 

[gillesvdp]

oh ok, anyway the results I posted and the ones from the cube meeting are the same (I just copied them)

So it doesn't really matter which ones you take, besides I did the FM of course.

PS: yes sub20 OH is very likely ;-)

 

[AvGalen]

megaminx: ok
ok, ok, (bad), ok, (nice)

So should i write down 1:14.00, 1:12.00, 1:29.99, 1:15.00, 59.99

Does anyone else think that we should change the notation to something else like U, L, F, R, BL, BR, etc.?

I thought the notation was really bad, but after scrambling it 25 times during competitions you get the hang of it. Just remember A=Front, BCDEF is Up -> ....-> Left clockwise and small letters are on opposite sides. It is very important to "not-rotate" the cube during scramblinb
