Simon Westlund

Been on vacation so I havn't been able to compete.. I'll try in some events this week though

2x2: 2.27, 4.83, 6.26, 1.23, 3.98 = 3.69
Lol, nice scrambles

3x3: 12.66, 11.92, 14.61, 12.55, 13.53 = 12.91
Amazing average!

4x4: DNF
2 centers broke on the first move of the first solve -.-

5x5:

6x6:

Megaminx:

Pyraminx:

Square 1: 37.56, 39.12, 39.74, 33.91, 51.31 = 38.81
I don't practise this..

 

[DavidWoner]

In a few more months, you'll probably be way past me and be consistently around 30 moves in under an hour.

I vividly recall you saying something similar about BLD... :rolleyes:

Mike's a false prophet!

Yes, I remember when Mike was my old standard for 5x5, FMC, etc in the weekly comp.

 

[MatsBergsten]

Mats B
2x2: 14.59 24.40 dnf 3.83 20.81 = 19.93
OK. To note that the 4:th was new single PB seems unnecessary
3x3: 47.93 58.30 50.52 67.91 74.08 = 58.91
for the last two.
4x4: 4:12.36 3:55.53 3:02.91 3:45.21 3:04.88 = 3:35.21
5x5: 12:09.11 10:56.33 10:38.27 7:59.43 12:22.00 = 11:14.57 :confused:
OH: 4:11.65 dnf dns dns dns = DNF
First time ever -- and I did not even get cramps
2x2BLD: 42.47 52.88 65.28 = 42.47
OK. Had to undo and redo part of the last one.
3x3BLD: 3:12.10 dnf 3:59.19 = 3:12.10 so slow...
4x4BLD: 11:35 dnf 12:20 = 11:35
Very good. The first was lucky but still...
5x5BLD: dnf dnf dnf = DNF
All three were sub 30. The second only three +-centers off and 25:28.
Multi: 5/7 = 3 time 56:30
Decent, the best I managed with 7 cubes. This time I did one cube at a time and not
all twists of corners first and therefore forgot just to twist two corners at one cube.
Another had a 3-cycle of edges and one 3-c of corners off.
2-4Rel:4:58.25 ok
2-5Rel: 12:31.00 ok
MTS: dnf 4:26.25 dnf 7:12.34 dnf = DNF
First three blind. But I am beginning to see some point of this event even
without blindsolving.

 

[SimonWestlund]

3x3x3 Blindfolded
1. DNF
2. DNF
3. DNF
4. DNF
5. DNF

How did you get 5 DNFs when there's only 3 scrambles?

 

[James Ludlow]

MTS - (DNF) 2.30.68 3.45.68 (2.18.44) 2.29.17. 2.55.18avg Not much too say really. totally messed up an N perm on top layer on first solve. From then on I just used basic seven step solution.
2x2 BLD - . DNF DNF DNF. DNFavg lol. 2.09.45 1.55.46 2.30.56 First 2 solves just parity. Last one was a disaster. Need to slow down i think.
7x7 - (11.53.14) 12.54.62 (15.36.82) 13.01.01 14.48.73 13.34.79avg Very pleasing. Last time i timed myself it was well over 20mins single solve. Maybe next time I won't do all five one after the other though. My left hand was hurting.

 

[James Ludlow]

3x3 OH - (3.33.19) (2.36.76) 3.32.19 2.40.75 3.02.72 3.07.20 3.06.71avg Ha ha. Never really tried before. Hopefully improve a bit. I really struggled to do remember most algs.

 

[Kev43]

2x2: 12.98 ; (22.10) ; 4.98 ; (2.88) ; 9.62 ==> 9.19 PB
I haven't practised for 2 weeks, and I forgot some algorithms. The 3rd cube's LL was FRUR'U'F'. The 4th cube was awesome! The solution was a Sune + U! And PLL skip on the last cube.

3x3: 31.38 ; 35.86 ; (29.14) ; (38.10) ; 30.42 ==> 32.55 PB
PB average, nice sub-30

3x3x3 BLD: 5:35.18 ; 7:00.82 ; DNS ==> 5:35.18
Good.

Multi BLD: 0/2, 20:51.36, about 16 minutes memo.
My first attempt. Both cubes were off by 2 edges, DB and UR (buffer)

That is what us old guys are for

 

[TMOY]

I just tried the 2^3 scrambles, and got:
(8.58) 5.78 6.72 (2.78) 6.13 = 6.21 average. Not my PB but still my best with three non-lucky counting solves.

 

[ManasijV]

3x3 : (14.43), (18.30), 17.37, 17.46, 15.98
Average: 16.94
Done with my exam! time to cube.

3x3 OH : 31.03, 29.13, (37.17), (24.24), 33.06
Average: 31.07
PB after PB after PB. 4th was OLL skip. I do OH only for the weekly. Today I lubed my cube and everything felt so good! Previous PB was ~35 average

 

[MatsBergsten]

Yes Arnaud, you are so very old .
Actually some days younger than my son, whom you, by the way,
will (probably) meet in a month.

Very much welcome to Sweden!
(And I am of course very much looking forward to meet the famous Arnaud )

[dbeyer]

... really ... wow ... wth ...
4x4 BLD:
S1. 10:11.95
You mean after all that bull I had to put up with today ...

 

[MatsBergsten]

Quick question: Is it required to put all the times down and not just the average? It seems like it would be easier to make the final ranking lists if only the averages were given.

Yes, we want all your times. Average is not necessary, it is calculated by the program. And it is not easier if you only give the average, then I have to manually insert five times your average which is both wrong and tedious.

The DNF was off by 1 turn and 1 cycle of edges:fp I have extremely improved!!
