Weekly competition 2010-09

[dunpeal2064]

2x2: (6.07), 8.49, 9.32, 9.75, (9.82) = 9.19 avg

3x3: 30.16, (26.73), (32.65), 28.54, 29.05 = 29.25 avg
So awful for me.

4x4: (2:14.45), 1:57.46, (1:45.86), 1:48.30, 1:59.95 = 1:55.24 avg
oddly enough, the two longest solves didn't have parity, and the rest did.

3x3 OH: 1:05.17, (1:04.33), (1:12.17), 1:05.67, 1:08.53 = 1:06.46 avg

2x2-4x4 relay: 2:33.35

Magic: (1.40), 1.35, 1.20, 1.18, (0.95) = 1.24
wow, this shatters my old pb, and I got my first sub1 evar!!

3x3x3 FMC: 39 moves
Solution: F' U2 D2 L2 B2 R2 L U' B' U2 L2 B2 L B2 D' R' B2 R D B L B2 L' B D2 B' D2 L B' L' B l U l' D2 l U' l' D2
Explanation:
2x2x2 + Pairs: F' U2 D2 L2 B2 R2 (6/6)
F2L minus slot: L U' B' U2 L2 B2 L (7/13)
Edge Orientation: B2 D' R' B2 R D (6/19)
Pair building: B L B2 L' B D2 B' D2 L B' L' B (12/31)
Pair 3-cycle: l U l' D2 l U' l' D2 (8/39)
Comment: Great F2L, but ended up with too many misoriented edges. Bit of an unconventional finish!

Nice solve! Awesome F2L-1! I never saw that during my attempt.
A suggestion: Try L B' L' B D' B2 D B2 L B2 L' B' D' B2 D B2 (16-1=15) after the F2L-1. Leaves 3 corners+ 1 move cancels. Then insertion

[Mike Hughey]

Mike Hughey:

My non-BLD event of the week:
3x3x3: 26.75, 22.09, 25.93, 24.25, 20.46 = 24.09
Comment: Not bad. This is a little better than my overall average these days.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 25.50, 22.94, 34.81 = 22.94
Comment: That wasn't even a lucky solve. I can't remember - it might be my personal best. Very nice!
3x3x3 BLD: 1:31.01, 1:37.65, 1:25.05 = 1:25.05
Comment: Wow, I love it - I like the consistency even more than the good single solve!
4x4x4 BLD: 8:52.49 [4:30], 7:11.56 [3:59], 8:51.11 [4:20] = 7:11.56
Comment: Very nice.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [15:16.53, 7:58], DNF [16:14.66, 9:17], 14:58.10 [7:32] = 14:58.10
Comment: First was off by 3 + centers and 2 centrals which I forgot to flip. The + centers were apparently an execution mistake. Second one was terrible - mostly scrambled, with all corners wrong, although most centers were correct; I reoriented to go from 7 to 10 centers solved. Third one was no reorient - I finally got another sub-WR solve. This was despite a bad memory recall pause - probably sub-14 without that!
3x3x3 multiBLD: 4/4 = 4 points, 17:37.46 [10:53]
Comment: Yes! Finally got one right - it's been a while. It was funny, because I actually mismemorized corners on the third cube, but I caught it during execution because I realized there was no way I could memorize an E in that sequence, so I figured it had to be an F instead. And I was right!

And non-BLD events done BLD:
6x6x6: DNF [33:07.85, 17:30], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by 4 inner wings and 4 rows of 4 centers (inner), apparently due to a missed slice turn, plus 2 obliques and 3 corners. So pretty bad.
7x7x7: DNF [1:01:32.27, 31:54], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by 4 obliques (2 per orbit). I have no idea why they were wrong. It was a good reorient, if I recall correctly - I gained something like 10 centers solved.
Magic: 1.86, 1.97, 1.80, 1.88, 2.27 = 1.90
Master Magic: 7.31, 4.06, 3.96, 5.52, 4.38 = 4.65
Pyraminx: 1:29.77, 1:00.68, DNF, DNF [56.88], 1:08.83 = DNF
Comment: Can you believe it? I redid the second scramble on the third try, and I DNFed it the second time, even though I got it right on the first try. Obviously it wasn't a memorization mistake! Oh well.

3x3
(42.94) 32.37 34.62 (31.74) 36.14
Comment: Did the last solve twice because the first time I forgot to start the timer. :fp

 

[Fox]

3x3x3:
32.94 - (36.01) - (31.48) - 35.81 - 33.74 = 34.16

3x3x3 OH:
(1:53.09) - 1:56.28 - 1:54.82 - 1:59.02 - (2:03.94) = 1:56.71

3x3x3 Match the scramble:
2:01.45 - (2:09.18) - (1:57.38) - 2:05.17 - 2:00.56 = 2:02.39

That solution looks quite familiar. Check my solution to see how you would have saved one move.

 

[marthaurion]

2x2: (10.96), (7.27), 8.52, 9.93, 8.66
Average: 9.04
Decent...sub-10...I'd say it's pretty good for LBL

3x3: 17.47, 17.40, 17.44, (19.61), (16.18)
Average: 17.44
One of my better averages. Nice and consistent.

4x4: 1:46.18, 1:48.56, 1:47.47, (1:41.08), (1:56.97)
Average: 1:47.40
Decent...very consistent sub-2 minute

Magic: (2.03), (2.93), 2.15, 2.08, 2.71
Average: 2.31
I suck at magic...

2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 Relay: 1:59.43
Good solves. It looked like maybe 8 second 2x2 and I got a PLL skip on 3x3

My first time doing this...go easy on me

:-D Amazing ! This beat the record Clement and I made with the 15 same first moves at a competition

I was too exiciting by have a pll skip and did not try to cancel my premove, in fact I did solve the cube every time with premove so I couldn't see that...
Only difference between us, that OLL is my speed one, it's not especially for this solution

 

[AdvanceFIN]

2x2: (2.74), 4.55, 5.03, 3.49, (5.23) = 4.36

3x3: 15.44, (13.52), (17.92), 14.34, 16.66 = 15.48

I can do better. Too many mistakes at both events.

You can see which solves I had to basically solve the thing twice due to EP mistakes
Clock: 20.63, 21.94, 19.53, (34.04), (18.95) = 20.70
FMC: DNF. 17 move F2L but couldn't find anything that would get me sub-35 so gave up (1 hour was up anyway). EDIT: Turns out my F2L was the same as Stini and 'rio. I didn't know that LL alg so couldn't take advantage of that

Not much to say generally. Everything was fairly average

 

[Toad]

Clock: 20.63, 21.94, 19.53, (34.04), (18.95) = 20.70

Thanks for allowing me to be better at something

I was a bit lucky to know that LL-case, Odder showed me that alg like two days ago haha.

w00t!?? I thought you were joking when you said you didn't know it O___o it's so simple alg. xD
