Weekly competition 2009-31

James-Dean Ludlow
2x2x2: 12.01 (14.28) 12.55 13.83 (10.05) 12.80avg
3x3x3: (37.04) 27.99 36.14 (27.67) 33.24 32.46avg I can sub30 now, as long as i get a 2 look ll. Obviously, the slower times a 4 look.
4x4x4: 1.59.91(O) (2.01.81(OP)) 2.00.08 (P) 1.58.65 (1.56.47) 1.59.55avg Clefferts came today. Sub 2avg!!! Even when I don't get parity, I still can't go any quicker???
5x5x5: 4.17.22 (3.29.63) 3.40.66 3.46.70 (4.24.00) 3.54.86avg I bottled it on last solve.
6x6x6: (7.29.28) 7.32.11(OP) 7.33.25(O) (8.12.45(OP)) 7.55.81 7.40.39avg. 3 new PB singles and PB average.
7x7x7: 12.19.68 12.56.39 (11.56.01) (13.02.34) 12.59.07 12.45.01avg Bit more consistent.I think my edge look ahead is getting better. It took nearly 2mins to solve 3x3 in all solves. I wonder why I am so slow at this bit???
Magic: 3.00 (2.78) 3.02 2.99 (3.07) 3.00avg
Clock: (22.72) (17.82) 19.61 18.35 22.30 20.09avg A week of practise with new method. Nearly 10 secs better than last week
2-4 Relay: 3.00.95 PARITY!!!! Still nearly 50secs better than last week.
2-5 Relay: 6.35.46. Very happy. Another PB.
3x3x3 MTS:(2.09.87) (2.59.80) 2.30.67 2.11.45 2.58.62 2.33.58avg I did them matching a 4x4 because I couldn't be bothered to go get another 3x3.
3x3x3 OH:
2x2x2 BLD: DNF (3.01.55) DNF (1.41.88) 3.05.60 I got a solve!!! I think that makes it 4 out of about 100. Good percentage!!! Lost my memory on 2nd solve so aborted nearly straight away.
Square1:(1.40.92) 54.69 (54.08) 1.07.55 1.39.50 1.13.91avg.Guess the parity solves???

Will update accordingly.

2x2x2: 8.94, 9.33, 9.08, 8.25, 11.56 = 9.12
3x3x3: 27.40, 27.77, 31.88, 28.56, 22.27 = 27.91
4x4x4: 1:32.31, 1:32.06 (P), 1:30.15, 1:30.55, 1:23.91 = 1:30.92
Comment: Wow! This was awesome, but a large part of why was the almost total lack of parity.
5x5x5: 2:49.96, 2:37.40, 2:35.11, 2:52.40, 2:34.43 = 2:40.82
6x6x6: 5:50.55 (OP), 5:43.31 (O), 5:19.91 (P), 5:48.28 (OP), 35:23.48 (17:32) = 5:47.38
Comment: Terrible speedsolving. BLD was nice, though – a really comfortable, smooth, easy solve.
7x7x7: 8;55.33, 7:41.70, 8:00.86, 7:49.17, DNF (1:01:58.09, 26:18) = 8:15.12
Comment: Once again, terrible speedsolving. I really need to practice big cubes hard before Nationals. The BLD solve had a BAD memory pause, but I eventually remembered and finished it. Unfortunately, I was off by 2 inner + centers.
2x2x2 BLD: DNF, 50.40, 26.94 = 26.94
Comment: The first one was stupid – it was so easy, but I did the wrong sticker.
3x3x3 BLD: DNF (2:08.47), 2:17.30, 2:08.47 = 2:08.47
Comment: First one was off by 2 edges flipped. I just now noticed while typing these in that the first and last times were the same!
4x4x4 BLD: 9:05.43 (5:23), 9:07.16 (4:25), 9:02.61 (4:40) = 9:02.61
Comment: Wow, that was consistent. I mismemorized half the edges on the first solve, and had to go back and rememorize them all – bad memorization time, but I made up for it on the execution.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF (18:12.72, 8:54), 16:20.97 (9:30), DNF (18:08.14, 9:50) = 16:20.97
Comment: I’m happy to get one, but I’m not happy with my accuracy. First one was off by 3 corners and 2 wings; third one was off by 3 centrals and 2 + centers.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 8/11 = 5 points, 57:01.35 (33:58 memorization)
Comment: Wow - a credible attempt! The second cube had 3 edges wrong because I memorized the wrong letter. The tenth cube had 2 corners twisted because I memorized the wrong direction to twist them. The eleventh cube had 4 corners wrong and 3 edges wrong; I think it was because the cube slipped in my hands while I was solving it. So my memorization held out perfectly! I had one several-minute-long pause where I couldn't remember a location for the corners of the fourth cube. It's really tough for me, but it IS possible for me to do 11 cubes!
3x3x3 OH: 47.13, 44.41, 48.69, 46.16, 51.88 = 47.33
Comment: Nice.
3x3x3 WF: 1:59.03, 1:32.43, 1:24.94, 1:30.78, 1:29.03 = 1:30.75
Comment: Wow – very nice again this week. The scrambles were a little lucky for me – some very easy OLL/PLL combinations and a couple of skipped F2L pairs. A pity they’re not doing feet at US Nationals – I’d actually have a chance to place at a non-BLD event.
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:43.93, 1:47.25, 1:18.44, 1:09.47, 1:29.61 = 1:30.66
2-4 relay: 2:38.90 (OP)
2-5 relay: 5:10.16 (O)
Magic: 1.77, 1.84, 3.69, 1.78, 1.77 = 1.80
Master Magic: 4.21, 3.78, 4.05, 3.90, 6.28 = 4.05
Clock: 18.58, 18.55, 16.44, 22.69, 22.68 = 19.94
MegaMinx: 3:14.18, 3:50.60, 2:49.54, 2:34.79, 2:35.39 = 2:53.04
Comment: Nice to get sub-3 again.
Pyraminx: 16.47, 19.52, 17.93, 18.16, 47.72 = 18.54
Comment: Sub-20 – very unusual for me. On the last solve, I kept messing up an algorithm.
Square-1: 48.80, 1:09.84 (P), 51.50, 41.59, 54.00 (P) = 51.43
Comment: Third one was disappointing for such an easy scramble – I messed up the corners. I got a 35.25 on the second try.
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 32 moves
Comment: See solution earlier in thread.

41 moves

D R’ U F U B (6) 2x2x2

I think I found a 30 something solution while messing around, but couldn't find it. I'm such a noob at FMC. :P

Yup ;) You'd wanna double check your OLL and PLL algorithms :)
 
Alternate finish for Faz:

D R’ U F U B (6) 2x2x2
D F’ R F R F D’ (7) 2x2x3
R D R’ D2 R D R2 F' R2 F (10) Finish F2L
F' R' D R D R' D' R F (OLL)
F D2 F' D' F D2 B' D F' D' B D' (PLL)

Which cancels to:

D R’ U F U B D F’ R F R F D’ R D R’ D2 R D R2 F' R D R D R' D' R F2 D2 F' D' F D2 B' D F' D' B D' (40) :p
 
2x2: 7.52 6.36 8.43 (5.71) (9.83) = 7.44 This was pretty bad. I want a bright set for my 2x2. :(
3x3: 20.16 (22.93) 21.26 (17.82) 20.79 = 20.73 That was the worst average I've had in a while.
4x4: 1:50.20 (1:38.76) (1:58.79) 1:53.32 1:40.79 = 1:48.10 Pretty good actually.
5x5: (3:21.01) 3:09.27 (2:55.24) 2:57.46 3:11.20 = 3:05.98 Terrible.
Pyraminx: (20.87) 20.40 16.66 (14.08) 18.02 = 18.36 I had some decent times.

2x2x2: 17.22 14.84 16.59 (14.27) (19.09) = 16.22
3x3x3: 29.40 (26.31) 33.19 (36.47) 28.28 = 30.29
2-3-4: 3:38.28
2-3-4-5: 9:49.50
Square-1: (3:26.55) 3:11.91 (57.52) 2:44.17 2:16.38 = 2:44.15
I learned the last algorithm today and therefore this is the first time I'm taking a square-1-average =)
