FMC
31 moves
D' L2 U' R2 U B D2 B D' U' R D2 U L' U F' L2 F U' L U' D' B U' B U B2 U' B U' D
Explanation
2x2x3: D' L2 U' R2 U B D2 B D' U' R D2
F2L: z y F U' F L' U2 L F' U F
OLL: y' r' U R' U R U2 R' U R' L

just fixing a little mistake, should be F not F'

It is F' because that cancels out the first move of the OLL. You could write it as F and then the OLL would start with r' R2 instead of r'.

4x4 BLD
1.) worst DNF i ever had (33:58.18, 17 minutes memorizing)

I assume this was a case of mismemorizing, then realizing your memorization was wrong when you were almost finished memorizing? Maybe I'm guessing wrong, but that's how this sort of thing always happens to me. (And it's happened quite a few times.) I'm guessing from your long execution time that you probably realized there was still a mistake once you started solving, too. (Again, this has happened to me quite a few times.) I have to admit it's encouraging to me to know that even you occasionally have a rough time of it.

BTW, amazing multi-bld the other day. I'm determined to try some multi-bld this weekend.

Certainly not mesmerising

FMC
31 moves
D' L2 U' R2 U B D2 B D' U' R D2 U L' U F' L2 F U' L U' D' B U' B U B2 U' B U' D
Explanation
2x2x3: D' L2 U' R2 U B D2 B D' U' R D2
F2L: z y F U' F L' U2 L F' U F
OLL: y' r' U R' U R U2 R' U R' L

just fixing a little mistake, should be F not F'

It is F' because that cancels out the first move of the OLL. You could write it as F and then the OLL would start with r' R2 instead of r'.

Ok, I see

My solve: D' F U L' F' L2 F2 L B' U D' B2 U' B' D B' D' B D L' B' D L' D' L B L B2 R'(29))
explanation:

Guus

 

[AvGalen]

Good to see that we don't have the same solution this time Guus. (just the same amount of moves)

 

[Jack]

Wow... I'm in 5th place with a 31 move solution! I remember the first FMC when I came 1st place with a 40 move solution. The top 3 places are all sub 30 this week!

 

[AvGalen]

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. If I had known this in advance I would have given winner points to place 1, 2 and 3 instead of just the winner. I was wondering if we would even get 3 competitors every week!

That is one of the things that will change for next years competitions.

[malcolm]

FMC:
L U D F' L2 D R' 2X2
F' R F L F' R' F L' INSERTION
B L2 B' L' B L2 B2 2X3
U2 L U L2 U2 FINISH CROSS, 3RD PAIR
ZY U' f R U R' U' f' Y F R U R' U' F'

Made a mistake copying it... fixed now.
Had a bad 2x2x3, 14 moves.... but the 3rd pair plus cross was good.
Fiddled around with OLLS trying to find one which solved all edges and two top layer corners, eventually found two combined which did this, then made an insertion earlier which used 8 moves instead of 10. 40 moves total =)
