[Alex DiTuro]

pyraminx:

22.86 38.43 (17.89) 37.92 (1:31.76) = 33.07

just got it today, so I really don't have a method. Just kinda figured out a lbl method on my own.

Redid the pyraminx 2 days later:

(10.26) 13.35 (21.09) 12.88 13.05 = 13.09

much better. I learned a Layer-first method

3x3 I'm improving

23.77, 23.91, 22.94, 26.00, 20.80

The 26 had a G perm which I don't know yet

number of times: 5/5
best time: 20.80
worst time: 26.00

current avg5: 23.54 (σ = 0.43)
best avg5: 23.54 (σ = 0.43)

session avg: 23.54 (σ = 0.43)
session mean: 23.48

3x3x3: 18.50, (20.61), (13.93), 16.36, 19.81 = 18.22
Comment: Not bad I guess.
4x4x4: 2:07.05, 1:41.75, 2:04.61, DNF, DNS = DNF
Comment: There's a reason why I don't do 4x4...

3x3x3 Blindfolded: DNF, DNF(2:45.21), DNF(2:20.09) = DNF
Comment: Fail.
4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF(26:42.49), DNF, DNF(25:27.84) = DNF
Comment: Gave up during centre memo on second solve. So close on the last one! 2 centres and 6 wings (would only have been 4 wings but I did parity wrong)
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 1/4 = DNF in 21:00.92+
Comment: Lol. 13:01 memo. Last cube had 2 twisted corners and the other two weren't anywhere near solved.

Because it is a program that downloads and analyses your results I'm not sure that formatting them like this will work. Try removing the code tags and formatting them like most other people have.

3x3 : (15.98), 15.18, (15.00), 15.76, 15.41 => 15.45

[Inf3rn0]

Still here.

2x2: 7.32, (10.61), (5.56), 9.48, 10.41 = 9.07

3x3: (30.85), (19.24), 24.73, 23.02, 29.13 = 25.63
2nd was a PLL skip so nothing special.

To be continued

2x2: (2.00), (3.33), 2.00, 2.54, 2.32=2.29
really easy. Especially the first one which requires only 1 move to complete the permutation lol.

Stupid scrambles, fail solves haha Don't care about this event though.

Lol inconsistency 'cos I never practice this any more... Pop on first solve

2x2 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF =DNF
2nd and 3rd solves were both 1:09.47 lol...

3x3 BLD: 5:31.48, DNF, DNF =5:31.48
I need to sort out my sleeping patterns before I try BLD again... :|

2-4 Relay: 1:56.82
Very nice 4x4, other parts were awful

[Cride5]

2x2x2: 8.67, (9.36), 7.19, 7.06, (6.87) => 7.64
Thought this week's 2x2 was going to be a failure after the first 2 solves, but I saved it at the end

3x3x3: (35.75), (17.32), 22.53, 20.77, 26.40 => 23.23
Oh dear

2x2x2 BLD: 2:37.38

Not so good this week, maybe a bit out of practice..


3x3x3 FMC: 30 moves
Solution: D R D' R' F B R2 F L' D2 L2 F R' F' L2 F R F2 D F D' L B2 R D R' D2 R D' R

Explanation:
Premove R2
2x2x3: D R D' R' F B R2 F (8/8)
F2L-1+EO: L' D2 . F' D F D' L B2 (8/16)
3 Corners: R D R' D2 R D' R' (7/23)
Insert at . L2 F R' F' L2 F R F', 1 move cancels (7/30)
Undo premove R2, cancels with last move

Comment: New PB!! The short last layer was sort of lucky, but it resulted from searching for several ways to finish F2L with EO. I would have ended up with a >35 move solution if I hadn't found it. Also lucky with the premove cancelling

 

[Cride5]

3x3x3 FMC: 29 Moves
Finally sub-30! First Roux style solve .

Well done on the sub-30, very creative solve!

New PB for me this week too, thanks to your insertion tips

Well done on the sub-30, very creative solve!

New PB for me this week too, thanks to your insertion tips

Thanks!
Your solve was very good. Its just that I cancelled 2 moves in the insertion, and you had only 1 cancellation . I wonder what solutions the experts will give. Want to see sub WR!
