3x3x3: 18.69, 18.81, (15.75), (19.20), 18.80 = 18.77 --> Nice

3x3x3 BLD: 2:16.49, DNS, DNS = 2:16.49 --> 1st one was so nice I didn't bother starting other 2. This is literally my first BLD attempt since UK Masters... Why was my best time there only 2:50!?! (and it was a DNF!)

4x4x4: (1:33.39 (P)), 1:36.44, (DNF), 1:43.75 (OP), 1:41.48 (P) = 1:40.56 --> lol sup 1:40... DNF had SUCH lucky centres (they were about 10 seconds), but while dedge pairing I got excited because it was gonna be a 40 second reduction and somehow scrambled all the E slice centres..

More will come later!

Comment: I didn't have time to look for insertions on this. Duh, I could have just used an inverse A-Perm at the end to get an additional cancellation. That would have made it 40 moves.

2x2x2: D L U B2 R' B' R B

I hope this is okay, I did all 2x2 scrambles turned off computer, turn on later, then went to get the times they were gone! I didn't copy my times to a .txt file as I usually do.
So I did my 2x2 over. Is this okay? Please let me know! I remember getting around maybe say 25 average the first time
2x2
20.58, 9.64, 17.02 ,15.80, 9.36 = 14.15
9.64 a PLL skip

comment: brand new black V5 ftw. I've been practicing my memory methods extensively for the past week, but this is my first solve in maybe 2 weeks. I'm trying to go light on the solves but heavy on the training for Big Cubes Summer 2009.

Wow - nice, Chris. I guess it's pretty likely you'll put that WR out of my reach before Nationals. Good luck!

 

[DavidWoner]

clock: 8.50, 7.75, 7.66, 8.81, 7.91 = 8.05
I'm going to start practicing again here pretty soon. I want to take back the UWR by Nats.

No 5x5 BLD at Indiana for you? That is the day before Big Cubes...

 

[cmhardw]

Mike, good luck to you as well sir! Remember, there is still the possibility of DNF (which I am admittedly trying to avoid, but still). Also, remember that Ville will soon render our friendly competition a moot point ;-)

I'm the only one who really wants to do it, and I am supposed to be running a competition at the time, so I don't think we'll be doing it.

I'll get my chance at Nationals. But the problem is that Chris will probably have the WR down to 13 minutes by then, and there's no hope of me managing 13 minutes. And I'm just teasing anyway - it is silly to think of me having a WR, when Chris is so much better than me. (And as Chris points out, Ville is so much better than both of us.) It's just fun dreaming now, since the WR is so far out of touch with current capabilities right now. Of all the events, 5x5x5 BLD seems like the easiest WR to get currently.

Anyway, Chris, good luck to you. Maybe you can at least make it a little tough on Ville (like you did with 4x4x4 earlier this year).

Oh come now, I'm sure somebody can supervise things during the 30-40 minutes you do your solves. In my opinion, the competitors owe it to you since you did them the favor of running the rest of the comp.

+1 Surely Jim could help you out with that. You deserve a chance. And even getting a WR for just one day would be great!
