Weekly competition 2010-02

[Micael]

3x3x3 MultiBLD: 10/12 59:00.00

40 minutes memo. Total time was 58:xx. Triple checked everything. No recall delay lasted more than 5 seconds. Execution mistake on second last cube because I was rushing. Something went wrong with the first cube but I can't find out why because apparently I applied the wrong scramble.

Yea! That is serious competition! You are likely to win this week, I got a great failure. I'll post later with everything.

Edit: don't you time yourself precisely?

Well I am in the middle of my A levels so I hardly have time for cubing now lol and you've obviously spent quite a bit of time doing it recently to be able to improve that much

SD: 0.14, I think that is the best 3x3 SD I have ever gotten. Second solve was failcross, misinserted wrong F2L pair, and slow LL.

Coming！！！！

Lmfao. Sorry

Let's Go!
All events this week methinks.

6x6: 07:29.46, 07:25.41, 07:44.41, 07:34.03, 07:29.84 Avg => 07:31.11 PB

Am quite happy with all of these really. New PBs for 6x6 and 2x2 averages, although I don't do a lot of 6x6 solves. That's one of my fastest 4x4 averages in a while. I started to slump a bit when it came to that cube. If I hadn't messed up a parity I would have got my second sub-2 minute.

The 5x5 solves were decent but I'm a bit disapointed at the last solve. It's barely slower than the second solve, but a 4 doesn't look as good.

Yay, this took like 2 hours.
2x2: 9.77 9.83 7.77 (10.22), (7.04) = 9.12

Wow, really nice solve. Ortega, with two bars at back. Should have been faster.

Fail on only attempt. That was really bad.

0 is the new 8. Get with the times, man.

 

[kinch2002]

Apologies for the long post. So...I did FMC blind this week. And I must have posted the worst ever FMC score in doing so. I had the scramble written down on a piece of paper in front of me, and a solved cube to look at (but not turn!). I then memoed the scramble by working out where each piece would end up if the scramble were applied to the cube. Then I put the blindfold on and wrote down a solution on the paper using my usual 3OP BLD method. Needless to say the paper was rather covered in scruffy scrawls by the end but I have decoded what I wrote, and it turns out I got it right - woohoo!

Memo time: 27:41.25 (would have been 20 if I hadn't got some edges wrong).
Solution time: 22:13.03

My numbering system: UFL, UFR, UBR, UBL, DFL, DFR, DBR, DBL (1-8) and UF, UL, UB, UR, FR, BR, BL, FL, DF, DL, DB, DR (1-12)

Corner Orientation (33 turns):
(2,6,8) B2 D' L2 D' R' D R D' R' D R U D' R' D R D' R' D R U D' R' D R D' R' D R U2 L2 D B2

Edge Orientation (58 turns):
(2,3,5,8) R F M' U M' U M' U M' U' M' U M' U M' U M' U' F' R'
(6,7,11,12) L' D R z2 M' U M' U M' U M' U' M' U M' U M' U M' U' z2 R' D' L

Corner Permutation (34 turns):
(1,7,3) F2 D' F L F' R2 F L' F' R2 D F2
(2,6,5) U' R2 F L F' R2 F L' F' U
(2,4,8) F2 D L2 F' R' F L2 F' R F D' F2

Edge Orientation (57 turns):
(1,7,10) L2 U' R U R U R U' R' U' R' L2
(1,2,8) R' U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R2
(1,3,5) L' y' R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 y L
(1,12,11) y F2 R' U' R U R U R U' R' U' F2 y'
(1,6,4) U L' U' L' U' L' U L U L

So, result for FMC: 182 moves.

Don't ask me why I did this.
