Weekly competition 2009-28

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. :(

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!

Okay, you've called me out. So the real problem is that I'm planning to do some other events instead. I was going to do 4x4x4 BLD so Shaden would have someone to compete against. And there are a couple of people who would like to do multiBLD, so I thought I would do that too, since it wouldn't be too hard to have a chance at the NAR. If I have a good day, it's realistically possible for me to get that. On the other hand, the 5x5x5 BLD WR requires hitting a near-PB solve for me and is therefore really really unlikely. So since 2 chances at 5x5x5 BLD take more time than a single shot at multi, I thought I'd do the multi instead. And I think doing the 5x5x5 BLD on top of the other things is too long to be away from the competition.

I already had my chance at Ohio, where I DNFed twice and was a couple of minutes too slow anyway. And if Chris doesn't put it out of sight for me next weekend, I'll still get another chance at US Nationals. (But Mondo could easily be the one to walk away with the WR there!)
 
7x7x7
4:57.14
5:02.30
5:05.73
4:59.48
4:49.91
average = 4:59.64

2345
3:31.23

I am really bad at 2x2 because all i have is the octave I won with the Toronto stickers COLL is confusing
lol barely sub-5.
My new 7x7 should be here in a day or two...

Done during UK Open. I didn't do anything else :(

Arnaud:
222 = 8.36 5.55 10.36 6.06 8.28
333 = 23.83 30.52 21.96 23.66 23.93

Charlie:
222 = 11.19 5.80 8.44 5.81 9.66
333 = 23.27 23.65 26.02 21.66 23.66

Adam:
333 = 30.30 25.45 19.93 18.53 25.40

A bit of confusion here :). Arnaud and Charlie are ok, but if Adam is Adam Wills = Edam
he has already posted results for 3x3 (and they are not identical). #29
 
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

No, redoing solves is not ok, it is obviously easier the second time. As you can see from your times. So I'll go at your guess and adds 10 seconds for each solve, pretty
arbitrary, but it makes you get about your estimated 25 seconds.

(You still beat me! :):).)

3x3x3 Fewest Moves
1. D' B2 R2 B2 D U B2 U F2 L2 F2 R B' U B' F2 D' F' D L U'
the scramble has yellow ontop.
Cross: z2 D' R' U' L2 D L2 y' 8 moves
F2L: R U' R' F U' F' U' R U2 R' U F' U F y2 R U' R' F' U2 F U L' U' L U F U' F' U' L' U L y' 34 moves
OLL: f R U R' U' f' y' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R 16 moves
PLL: U' y' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' y' x' R U' R D2 R' U R D2 R2 24 moves Since I did not know the G I broke it up into 2 algs
This is not a great solve, I am just wondering if it is legal, it is a 82 move solve and it does work.

It counts, but it is easier for me if you add the number 82 on the line with "3x3x3 Fewest Moves".

And some may think that it is not really a FMC solve but an ordinary speed solve where you just noted the moves.
