All done!

Mike Hughey:

2x2x2: 11.21, 8.75, 10.65, 9.80, 11.02 = 10.49
3x3x3: 32.72, 27.11, 29.97, 30.81, 23.65 = 29.29
4x4x4: 1:43.86 (OP), 1:52.50 (O), 2:10.33 (O), 2:10.83 (OP), 1:45.83 = 1:56.22
5x5x5: 2:29.94, 2:43.86, 2:25.80, 2:37.15, 2:43.43 = 2:36.84
Comment: Wow – 2 sub-2:30’s out of 5!
6x6x6: 5:48.61 (O), 6:16.00 (OP, POP), 5:37.36 (OP), 5:44.27 (OP), 6:16.71 (OP) = 5:56.29
7x7x7: 8:35.40, 8:05.21, 7:39.41, 7:35.28, 8:20.61 = 8:01.74
2x2x2 BLD: 1:15.71, 1:05.34, 32.84 = 32.84
3x3x3 BLD: 2:09.19, 2:02.44, DNF (1:55.31) = 2:02.44
4x4x4 BLD: 9:37.65 (3:53), 8:27.34 (4:13), 8:14.36 (4:04) = 8:14.36
Comment: I think it’s my new personal best.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF (17:31.44, 9:09), 18:35.59 (10:28), 17:19.90 (9:13) = 17:19.90
Comment: First one was totally scrambled - I was holding the cube in the wrong orientation at the end. I don't remember ever having one this bad before. :( I did the third one of these, the 3 4x4x4 BLDs, and the multi all in a span of about 3 hours tonight - 100% accuracy! I should really probably try a megaminx BLD tonight, but I'm just too tired - I've gotta quit and head for bed now.
6x6x6 BLD: DNF (39:12.18, 19:12), DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by just 3 inner wings. Apparently I memorized one piece incorrectly. At least it was sub-40 - it's been a while since I've been that fast.
7x7x7 BLD: DNF (55:57.84, 29:14), DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by 4 inner wings and 3 outer X centers. I'm really happy with this time. It was just silly execution mistakes that I made here. I now know for sure that I'm capable of a sub-hour solve. What I did different this time was to just force myself to keep thinking ahead throughout the solve. If I can do that and I don't have any bad memory recall pauses, execution time can be faster than memorization time.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 3/3 = 3 points, 11:45.11 (6:33)
Comment: Wow, that was fast for me!
3x3x3 OH: 55.75, 51.47, 1:22.71, 53.02, 50.63 = 53.41
3x3x3 WF: 3:59.15, 2:02.90, 2:33.94, 2:13.16, 2:06.02 = 2:17.71
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:41.83, 1:18.27, 1:34.90, 1:44.05, 1:41.78 = 1:39.50
2-4 relay: 2:31.27 (O)
2-5 relay: 5:21.36 (OP)
2-6 relay: 11:52.17 (O, OP)
2-7 relay: 20:07.05 (O, none)
Magic: 2.21, 2.56, 2.30, 2.36, 3.08 = 2.41
Master Magic: 4.19, 5.34, 5.08, 4.83, 4.50 = 4.80
Snake: Still don’t have one.
Clock: 24.53, 22.33, 23.55, 23.94, 25.03 = 24.01
MegaMinx: DNF (56:09.81, 26:55), DNF (47:27.17, 20:38), 2:46.37, 2:58.54, 3:04.38 = DNF
Comment: First was off by 3 corners mispermuted, 2 corners twisted, 2 edges flipped. Second was off by 6 corners, 3 edges mispermuted, 2 edges flipped. On the edges on the second one, I forgot to do execution on one of the locations. But I’m finally getting way under an hour. Sub-30 should be possible someday.
Pyraminx: 22.66, 22.11, 22.19, 26.86, 32.63 = 23.90
Square-1: 1:10.18 (P), 52.00, 1:31.09 (P), 1:13.65 (P), 59.15 (P) = 1:07.66
Comment: Really disappointing for me!
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 49 moves
2x2x2: D2 L’ F2 L’ F U’ R2 D2
2x2x3: R’ U2 L F L’
one corner, one edge: B’ R B U B U’ B’
finish F2L: D’ U’ F’ U’ F U2 F’ U F D
OLL: B’ U’ R U B U’ B’ R’ B U
PLL: F2 U’ L R’ F2 L’ R U’ F2
No cancellations at all. :(
Comment: I was trying to make some keyhole solution work when I realized I was almost out of time, so I just wrote out the solve I was trying at the time. Awful – I couldn’t find anything. It’s like I forgot how to do fewest moves or something.
4x4x4 Fewest Moves: 101 moves

Comment: Again a very bad 3x3x3.

2x2x2: 6.48, 6.52, 3.64, 4.89, 4.91 = 5.43 --> Almost good, pity I messed up the first 2 solves (wrong PBL and wrong FL respectively)

3x3x3: 22.41, 20.72, 20.41, 29.50, 18.80 = 21.18 --> Baaaad 

3x3x3 OH: DNF, DNF, 26.24, DNF, DNF = DNF --> NICE -.-

4x4x4: ] 1:32.73 (O), 1:48.03 (O), 1:37.34 (OP), 1:30.56 (P), 1:44.30 (O) = 1:38/12 --> Not bad, 4x4x4 is one of the few events I’m actually still improving at..

2x2x2 - 4x4x4 Relay = 2:10.56 --> Average, but I’m not sure why though as the 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 scrambles were so easy - I had them both done in 20 seconds. 4x4x4 must’ve been awful..

Pyraminx: 12.06, 10.41, 12.20, 15.83, 11.17 = 11.81 --> Average.

I have a feeling Mr. Hughey will be pleasantly surprised when he sees a graph of his progression over the year in several events.
