Weekly competition 2007-41 (2,3,3OH,4,5,BF,SQ1,MG,MMG,FMC,MM,PM,Relay)

First time doing this...I figure I might as well for practice and stuff.

2x2: 8.43 8.09 (6.38) 8.55 (10.68) --> 8.36
heck, I'll take it, I don't practice this

3x3: 17.71 (19.52) 16.06 (13.94) 17.58 --> 17.12
I should be doing better since I just averaged sub-16, but I'll take it

3x3 OH: (38.72) 43.91 44.18 (44.69) 43.40 --> 43.83
I don't have any cubes in good enough shape for one-handed. So I'll take it.

4x4: 2:06.40 (2:34.86) 1:47.90 (1:39.59) 1:42.43 --> 1:52.25
ah whatever. Big cubes aren't my thing. All my solves should be in the 1:35-1:45 range, but yeah. 2:34 I messed up OLL parity.

5x5: 3:28.06 (3:26.88) 3:50.18 (3:51.02) 3:28.33 --> 3:35.52
the 3:50.18 was a +center pop. It's not a good sign when you get a pop that takes you a while to fix (~15 secs) and it's not your worst solve.

2BLD: DNF DNF
3BLD: DNF (3:02) DNF (4:20)
The 3:02 was off by two corner swaps. The 4:20 I blanked on parts of CP, EP, and CO--fortunately my guess for CO was correct, but the permutations were all off

Sq1: 1:14.33 (1:31.06) 53.58 (52.25) 1:02.38 --> 1:03.43
Haven't done this since worlds. If I had remembered some more of my algs the 52 would have been sub-40.

Relay: 5:56.05

Magic: (1.27) (2.25) 1.31 1.28 1.27 --> 1.29
Wish I could be getting the 1.1x's but I'm way out of shape. Just glad I managed an average.

Master Magic: (2.96) 3.21 2.96 4.55 (4.86) --> 3.57
As usual I messed up the average. Using Pochmann but will switch to Ooms after VA.
 
3x3x3:
24.67, (19.58), 24.46, 23.20, (30.68)
Average: 24.12
The 19.58 was a PLL skip.But I ended up doing PLL twice for the 30.68.

3x3x3 BLD:
a.DNF
b.3 mins 28 secs

4x4x4:
(106.50), 115.77, 119.10, 128.22, (143.29)
I had OLL parity in all the solves and PLL parity in the last two.

HAHAH sin-h man your pb is 10.17 for 3x3 and mine is 10.16 seconds so i beat you by 0.01 seconds! lol but... my pb average is 14.06 seconds so you beat me by 0.01 seconds! hahah so weird... :p also nice job phil on your solves good times there :)
 
yaaay, I got a successfull 4x4 attempt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (BLD ;) )

Congratulations! Very awesome!

Now if you're typical of the other guys on here, your next solve will be faster than my fastest one yet. For sure, you'll be beating me regularly sometime in the next few weeks. :)

And good luck to Dan. At this rate, it won't be long before we have 10 successful big cube BLD solvers in a single week!

Did you only attempt it succesful or did you actually solve it?

And maybe you have been reading my posts to much because you made the same typo as I did quite a lot.

2x2x2: 5.87
6.65, 5.81, (7.68), (3.21), 5.16

Good! 3.21 was lucky.

3x3x3: 18.80
(15.83), 16.77, (22.36), 19.34, 20.30

Started good, then it got bad.

3x3x3 OH: 30.96
31.33, (32.84), 31.75, (28.58), 29.80

Bad.

4x4x4: 1:20.84
1:18.68 O, 1:18.58, (1:53.58 O), (1:17.88 OP), 1:25.25 OP

That third solve screwed up my average... I popped in the middle of OLL parity then spent a long time trying to figure out how to fix it.

5x5x5: 2:44.71
2:48.75, (2:31.91), (2:55.43), 2:39.56, 2:45.83

BLD

2x2x2: 52.36
2x2x2: 35.63

3x3x3: DNF (4:42.55)
3x3x3: 4:22.62

I can't believe I got third in BLD at the Toronto Open!

No BLD for me this week. Practicing for Virginia Open and I don't want to jinx anything.

Big Cube BLD!

4x4x4
1. 19:55.23!!!!!!!!
2. DNF...

I had a 18 right before the first one, which was my first successful. I decided on that solve to use visual for edges, and it worked well. For the 5x5 I definitely need to work on a better memo system. I think the memo for this one was like 10-12, I can't remember, but it was nice to do.
