Weekly competition 2009-33

[poorshooter]

3x3 (32.60) (28.24) 30.45 28.45 32.19 : 30.36
terrible! i guess i should do warmup solves before doing this competition

4x4 2.23.48 (2.12.31) 2.25.92 2.13.13 (2.48.75) : 2.20.84
very happy with this average!! unlike the 3x3

[stray]

FMC: F2 D U L' U' F' L' F L D F2 D2 L' D2 L' F B U' B' D2 B U B' F L B' U R' F' D B' (31)

For inverse scramble:
Premove (D'F2):

B D' F R U' B block 2x2 (6)
L' F'* D2 F' L D2 L D2 F2 D' F2L minus 1 slot (16)
L' F' L F U L U' leave 3 corners (23)

*insert: [BU'B',D2] 2 move cancel (29)
D'F2 correction (31)

First try inverse scramble and premove,easy start,normal end.

Meh
3x3: (18.01), 13.50, 14.86, (12.89), 15.20 = 14.52
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH. Hands are sooo cold. Not going to be cubing much this weekend.
4x4: 1:03.14, 55.98, 1:01.18, (54.24), (1:05.01) = 1:00.10
Trying out syu's edge pairing method.
5x5: (1:37.23), 1:33.16, 1:30.26, (1:28.52), 1:29.67 = 1:31.03
Meh. While racing Erik.

Mm, ok

Good.
2x2BLD: (20.19), (26.23+), DNF = 20.19
Decent
Minx: 1:31.25, (1:35.26), 1:34.86, (1:28.25), 1:28.86 = 1:31.66

3x3 - (24.19), 20.71, 20.68, (20.68), 21.31 = 21.23

No warmup at all, and my hands are freezing

3x3 Fewest Moves: 36 moves

F’ R F R’ F’ R F R’ D F D2 F2 R B2 R’ F R B2 R’ D L D’ L’ R’ D’ R F2 L2 F D2 L B’ U F’ R’ D B’

Explanation: Using inverse scramble: R F2 U R F B U L' B2 D' F R2 B2 U' R2 U2 F2 U' B2 U' F2

2x2x2 block: B D’ R F U’ B
2x2x3 block: L’ D2 F’ L2
2x-cross+ 3rd slot: F2 R’ D R L D * L’
A nice completely random block: D’ F D2 F’ D’
All but three corners: R F’ R’ F R F’ R’ F
Insert at *: D B’ U2 B D’ B’ U2 B, one move cancel.

I'm really happy with this one, especially because of the very nice block in the beginning, and the random block came in just in time to save me from a horrible continuation I would have to resort to if I hadn't found it, so block, thank you!

Did you stop to restring the thing in the middle of a solve?

Blindfolded
2x2BLD: 32.71 51.03 37.43 = 32.71 good
3x3BLD: dnf dnf 2:40.78 = 2:40.78 ok, trying to go fast
4x4BLD: dnf (13:29) 18:33 12:42 = 12:42 good
The second was so slow for two reasons:
there were so many edge cycles that the memo took over 10 minutes,
and the cube I used had a screw too loose so it got stuck and I was
afraid of popping the whole cube
5x5BLD: dnf (27+) dnf (40+) dnf (32+) = DNF
Sad story, now I have had 14 dnf:s in a row. The second was slow because
I actually fell asleep. The third I did a 3-cycle centers the wrong direction.
Multi: 6/6 = 6 time 45:57 new PB (time)

...and I'll do some slowcubing too.
Edit: Here they are:

Tried to look at Athletics WC at the same time, didn't go well

FMC: F' R' U2 R D B' U B U' L' U F U F' B U' F U B' U F' U' B' F' R' (25)

explanation:
turn pre-scramble moves B' F' R' to understand
2x2x3: F' R' U2 R D (5)
F2L minuse pair: B' U B U' L' (10)
all but 3 corners: U F U F' U' .F U2 F' U' (19)
premove correction: B' F' R' (22)
at dot insert U B U' F U B' U' F' , 5 moves cancel!

Strange, scramble contains only one D move and only one L move. Same holds for my solution

4x4: 1:33.27, (2:00.35), (1:28.59), 1:33.26, 1:58.32

7x7: 7:20.77, (7:06.28), 7:33.13, (9:38.28), 7:16.89
avg = 7:36.89 could have been better, but what the hell was the fourth solve? I made 3 mistakes with last 4 edges and he popped 3 times. :fp

pyraminx: (22.68), 11.68, 12.04, 13.79, (11.17)
