Couldn't believe it, 3 out of 3 and a new sub-3 PB! First one, I tried memorising as fast as poss, but found it difficult to recall the pattern during the solve, Second one spent too long memorising, third one just right. Good memorisation speed, good execution (for me anyway, especially at 5am!) Stoked /me = off to try 3x3x3 BLD...

3x3x3 BLD: DNF
DNF [20:35.73 + 15:56.50 = 36:32.24], DNS, DNS
First attempt was a bit of a failure. 4 corners out and 4 edges out. Interestingly with the corners which were wrong, two of them are out by an F' and the other two are out by a B'. I think probably a messed up a setup move somewhere. Don't have the concentration to start another attempt. :/

3x3x3 FMC: 44 moves
F D' B R' F D2 F R2 F' R U' R' U R2 D' B' L D L2 D B' D L' D L f L' B' L f' L2 F L D F D' B2 D F' D' L' F' L B2
Solution:

Pair 3-cycle: L f L' B' L f' L' (7/31)
Corner Twist: L' F L D F D' B2 D F' D' L' F' L B2 (14/45)
Minus 1 cancellation = 44
Comment: Not a bad start, but annoyingly ended up with a 2-corner twist

2x2: 7.96 (8.21) 7.06 (4.36) 6.00 = 7.00
To practise for when I learn CLL, I used lbl on all solves. Grr... Ortega face on last solve, went to waste. I used red race instead.
3x3: (17.34) 24.13 20.30 (24.33) 21.41 = 21.94

4x4: 2:13.44 (2:16.55) (1:58.81) 2:02.88 2:09.28 = 2:09.28
Will work out the average later when my brain's working Looks good so far.
5x5: 4:17.83 3:59.00 = DNF
Did all events this morning, 3:59 was hurting coz it was my most recent solve. I'll do the rest later.
2x2BLD: 20.07 33.59+ 21.81 = 20.07
3 successes 20.07 had easy ortega, and then R2 F2 R2 pbl with no AUF. Saw whole solution while memoing.
3x3OH: (39.27) 51.44 43.68 45.05 (54.97) = 46.72
lolwut? I would consider 54.97 as a good time, but as a worst time? My storebought's good for OH.
3x3FMC: 50
Wow, fail. 3 move cross, 27 move f2l, and 50 move solve? That sucks.
2x2+3x3+4x4 relay: 2:34.96
Good 4x4, bad 3x3 and 2x2
2x2+3x3+4x4+5x5 relay: 6:58.24
Good bigcubes, bad small cubes.
Clock: (27.56) 21.94 (18.94) 20.77 19.06 = 20.77
Haven't worked out average yet. All solves bar one, beat the AuR single solve record.
PyraMinx: (4.31) 10.09 14.40 10.05 (DNF) = 11.51
lolfail. First solve was good. 3 quick inserts and forced ll skip.

[Mike Hughey]

3: 9.72, 9.48, (9.09), (10.76), 9.75 => 9.65 WTF how can this NOT WIN????

I guess it's just not good enough anymore to have a mere mediocre sub-10 average. You'll just have to get better.

It is seriously amazing that you can beat the WR by almost a half second, and still lose by more than a half second.
