[PeterV]

PeterV:

2x2x2: (DNF), (5.90), 8.26, 9.32, 8.69 = 8.76 avg.
Comment: Messed up what should have been an easy CLL on the first case.

3x3x3: 26.61, (24.48), 28.78, 34.63, (DNF) = 30.01 avg.
Comment: Last solve was off by a M' move and ruined the average (H-perm fail).

magic: 1.65, (1.85), (1.53), 1.68, 1.58 = 1.64 avg.
Comment: Kind of ironic that I had a DNF in every event but magic.

Comments: Hmm, somehow my 3x3x3 is gradually improving even though I play it only one a week when I join the forum competitions. And I matched my PB exactly - 21.74. LOL.

Comments: Argh, almost sub-2mins. I wasn't in a really good mood when I was solving. I was really having fun with 3x3x3 though...

1:24.45
(1:23.36+)
1:04.66
1:06.80
(1:03.02)
Comments: Argh, I left my OH cube at home. (I'm in my university now.) So I was using my 3x3x3 cube, which is too loose for my OH. And I applied wrong PLL in the first solve.

2-3-4 Relay: 2:46.67
Comments: Wow, a lot better than I expected. I felt that I totally screwed my 4x4x4.

And I also left my pyraminx at home, so I can't join that event anymore. Sigh.

3x3: 17.25, 19.97, 19.31, 25.63, 18.26 = 19.15 (crap)
Magic: 1.00, 1.00, 1.02, .98, 1.00 = 1.00

Which timer (software/hardware) are you using for your magic solves?
Also: the program doesn't count ".98", only "0.98", I think.

[Faz]

2x2: 2.92, 2.61, 2.90, 4.23, 2.93 = 2.92
Epic fail considering how easy the scrambles were. Number 2, 3, and 5 definitely should have been faster.
3x3: 10.02, 11.34, 10.59, 9.22, 9.36 = 9.99
lolsub10. 11.34 was messed up cross therefore H perm on bottom at the end.
Pyraminx: 6.39, 6.75, 6.73, 7.46, 7.64 = 6.98
I don't care about pyraminx
Sq-1: 28.63, 33.93, 18.28, 37.43, 57.06 = 33.33
lol 38 second cubeshape on the last one. Parity on all except the 18.
OH: 21.53, 20.76, 22.08, 18.53, 15.75 = 20.27
Meh.
4x4: 37.65, 38.93, 45.80, 44.98, 42.01 = 41.97
Yay!
Magic: 1.78, 1.44, 1.28, 1.69, 1.55 = 1.56
Meh.
5x5: 1:29.41, 1:38.75, 1:26.96, 1:12.49, 1:26.66 = 1:27.68
Lol fail. The first 2 had like 2 pops each. Only good thing was the 1:12.

[Flicky]

3x3: 30.61, (22.93), 27.30, (31.70), 30.08 Avg => 29.33
sub 30 at least. No real complaints but can do better. 22.93 was non-lucky.

4x4: 2:09.30, (1:40.75), 1:45.22, 2:11.36, (2:22.22) Avg => 2:01.96
I think these are the loveliest set of scrambles I've ever seen. Before this my PB single was 1:53 and my avg was 2:10. I've been doing only 4x4 the last few days and nice to see it pay off!

5x5: (3:21.23), 3:26.94, 3:27.96, 3:37.08, (3:38.24) Avg => 3:30.66
Apparantly this is a Personal best average. I feel like I've done it faster but oh well. yay for new PB I suppose.

Excellent. No skips but there were a few easy cases.

3x3 OH: 20.69, 22.14, 24.60, 28.28, 24.74
wow very fast. disappointed with the first one as I had a fumble and could have had my first sub 20..... hmmm and I just realised I need to learn OH OLLs! 2nd was a PLL skip

4x4 - (1:34.79) (OP), 1:38.58 (DP), 1:37.83 (PP), (1:47.55), 1:44.53 (PP) = 1:40.31
Comment - Lol, slowest solve was the only one with no parity. I dont practise, so this is pretty slow for me.

5x5 - 2:39.86, (2:42.55), (2:11.10), 2:32.65, 2:29.85 = 2:34.12
Comment - 2:11.10 was PLL skip

2x2 BLD - DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
Comment - Fail

3x3 OH - 39.36, 48.03, (1:34.01), 53.98, (37.61) = 47.12
Comment - Messed up on N perm on 3rd solve, Sub 40 is awesome for me, last solve was only 0.06 off my PB.

3x3 Match the scramble - (3:17.21), 3:25.93, 3:47.08, (5:13.36), 3:55.55 = 3:42.85
Comment - Lol I fail at this

Magic - (0.94), 0.95, 0.97, 0.99, (1:05.91) = 0.97
Comment - Lol I practised Now im sub-1 almost everytime. Lol 1 minute 5 seconds for the last solve, 2 strings came off

Clock - (31.69), 18.43, 19.21, 15.23, (13.75) = 17.62
Comment - 13 was pretty nice, regular average is about 17 - 18. First solve I finished with 1 clock wrong so I had to correct it.

2-3-4 relay - 2x2- 4, 3x3 - 19, 4x4 - 1:18 = 1:41.21
Comment - 4x4 was forced PLL skip, I did 3R' U' R U L U' R' U instead of 3R U R' U' R' F R F'

2-3-4-5 relay - 2x2 - 4, 3x3 - 16, 4x4 - 1:45, 5x5 - 2:40 = 4:45.53
Comment - Wow so slow...
Can I also point out that in the 2-4 relay, and the 2-5 relay, the 4x4 scrambles are exactly the same.
