Weekly competition 2009-50

[Edmund]

3x3
15.55
(11.83), 15.95, 14.83, (16.14), 15.89
Comment: Good. Also it was nice that my worst solve was a 16. 15.95 was pll skip though so it wouldn't have been sub-16 unless it was instant recognized h or t prob. 11 was nl and so were all others (except 15.95)

2x2x2 BLD: 1:36.74, 1:05.38, 1:25.75 = 1:05.38

4x4x4 BLD: DNS yet
3x3x3 MultiBLD: 10/12 = 8 in 53:54 [35:57]
Two inspection mistakes.
1- Did not notice a misoriented edge.
2- Did not used the proper image, sounds like a lack of concentration for seconds. Actually, the image was quite unclear when I recalled it.

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: DNS yet [BLD]

16 = good. 12 = win. 20 = fail 21 = pll recognition fails 19 = wow, there goes that average.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Charlie, you are simply amazing! Honestly i didn't know you are at that level with these puzzles! Bravo!

2x2 - Just easier cases, good average for me, I don't practise
3x3 - Normal average at home
4x4 - Joey told me how to edge pair better (turns out I was using 6 moves too many EVERY TIME I paired edges)
5x5 - As above
Pyraminx - Nothing new
Square-1 - I decided it was wrong I didn't know the method of one of my best friends so I've been practising like crazy! More than 3x3!
Megaminx - My megaminx isn't dripping Czech oil and I've been practising a bit more

Basically I had loads of work for university this week, so I spent the whole time cubing instead.
