Mike Hughey:
My non-BLD event of the week:
2x2x2: 11.63, 9.68, 8.44, 8.18, 7.33 = 8.77
Comment: Kind of a lucky average for me. I generally don't do this well. (I stink at 2x2x2.)
My other non-BLD event this week (I'm cheating, because I really wanted to do it this week):
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 37 moves
Solution: F R' F U F' U' F R2 B' R' B R2 B2 D R2 D B R' B' F' D' R' D R F' D' L' R F2 L R' D' F2 D B' D' B
premoves to solve 4th pair: B' D' B
2x2x2: F R' F U F' U' F
2x2x3: R2 B' R' B R2 B2
3x cross: D R2 D B R' B'
OLL: F' D' R' D R F'
PLL: D' L' R F2 L R' D' F2 D
Comment: Pretty bad compared to most of the solutions this week. I was onto something that looked kind of nice with NISS, but I ran out of time before I could find a good ending.
The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 22.52, 34.33, 24.44 = 22.52
Comment: Very nice scrambles!
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:53.00], 1:56.50, 3:17.18 = 1:56.50
Comment: I've not done very well lately at this for the weekly competitions.
4x4x4 BLD: DNF [7:58.16, 4:15], DNF [9:18.97, 4:51], 8:39.37 [4:38] = 8:39.37
Comment: Not very good this week. First one I forgot to do 2 centers. Second one was also off by 2 centers, this time because of an execution mistake. Third one was a real relief to get.
5x5x5 BLD: 16:08.79 [9:05], DNF [15:11.44, 9:38], DNF [18:04.31, 9:59] = 16:08.79
Comment: My execution has gotten very fast, but my memorization is just taking too long. First one I reoriented 8->14. Second one I reoriented 7->14, off by 3 + centers (forgot to do one location), 3 X centers (don't know why these were wrong), and 3 wings (memorized the wrong letter for one piece).
3x3x3 multiBLD: 3/4 = 2 points, 19:45.17 [13:50]
Comment: Very bad. Third cube had 2 flipped edges - I didn't see the flipped edge when memorizing. I'm just so slow.
I will attempt to do a big one next week - it's been a while; we'll see how it goes.
And non-BLD events done BLD:
6x6x6: DNF [39:58.48, 22:05], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Off by 2 inner X centers and 3 obliques - I have no idea what went wrong for either case. I had a terrible time memorizing the inner wings - I couldn't find the extra cycles.
7x7x7: 49:03.88 [24:09], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Nice! The centers were really great for reorienting - I went from something like 17 to 34 pieces solved! Still not quite lucky. This wasn't quite a personal best, but it was pretty close - a very nice solve for me.
Magic: 4.19 [+2], 1.77, 2.38, 1.81, 2.25 = 2.15
Master Magic: 4.75, 7.31, 4.81, 4.50, 5.00 = 4.85
Pyraminx: DNF [1:35.61], 1:14.33, 1:10.59, 53.00, 1:06.25 = 1:10.39
Comment: First one was off by 3 edges. I used the inverse scramble in place of the duplicate fourth scramble. It's so satisfying to get a successful average at this!
