Henrik

4x4BLD: DNF (11:15), DNF(15:00)
1st: Misinterpreted my last center image so two centers wrong.
2nd: must have switched two images because I had 3 wing wrong. Memo could not stick at all so slow memo of 8 or 9 min.

2x2: 8.30+, 6.94, 6.28, 7.02, 8.39 = 7.42
Why do I do so badly in 2x2 every single week
3x3: 19.54, 19.59, 18.35, 20.47, 19.51 = 19.54
Bad
Magic: 2.09, 1.83, 3.05, 1.83, 2.11 = 2.01
5x5: 2:27.83, 2:35.57, 2:07.33, 2:24.44, 2:16.80 = 2:23.03
I guess this is quite good, hopefully ill get something like this in Bristol!!

Megaminx: 2:02.48, 1:26.07, 2:02.44, 1:57.52, 1:56.40 = 1:58.79
Not a great average
But the 1:26 was awsome, a complete PLL skip

[ManasijV]

3x3 BLD: DNF(1:23.11), 1:26.12, 1:49.41
First flipped corners. Last had a 10 second pause I think.
Can any one help me with transition from edges to corners execution? This is where I usually have pauses! (I use letters for memorizing both edges and corners) My memo has improved considerably. 29 s on the 2nd 35 s on the last.

3x3 BLD : DNF(2:04.47), 2:43.00, 1:46.46 = 1:46.46
Ahh, so rusty, I'm kinda happy about the 2:43 though. I did corners halfway then reversed it because I realized I executed wrongly

Last solve was last layer skip. I really need to warm up before I solve pyraminx.

Nice.

magic:
1.60, 1.28, 1.68, 1.44, 1.52 = 1.52 (σ = 0.07)
I need a new magic...

Master magic:
4.95, 3.62, 5.42, 4.13, 4.03 = 4.37
PB single and average.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Just so everyone knows, this week is going to be my once per quarter where I'm allowing myself to compete in everything. So here's my fewest moves attempt.

Mike Hughey:

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 35 moves

Scramble: D2 B R2 U2 B2 F' D2 R2 U2 L2 D L2 R2 B' U F' D B2 L' D' B
Solution: R2 B' U L2 F' R2 D' U L U F2 U' F U2 L2 U' L' U L2 U' L' U2 B D' B2 U F' U' B U F U B D B'

2x2x2: R2 B' U L2 F' R2 D'
2x2x3: U L U
3x cross: F2 U' F U
fix edges leaving 5 corners: U L2 U' L' U L2 U' L'
fix 2 corners: U2 B D' B' . U2 B D B'
insert at .: B' U F' U' B U F U'
U U become U2 after 3x cross; B' B' become B2 before insertion; U' U2 become U after insertion.

Comment: Not bad considering my long break, but I guess it was a little lucky I found this. It took almost all 60 minutes. I kept trying to do NISS, but it didn't ever help. I realize this is a pretty weak result by current fewest moves standards, but I think it's still pretty good for me.

Nice solution, I DNFed this, totally ran out of time, even after spending over two hours I couldn't get a sub40...

My 3-cycle was kind of random, since i havn't figured out what to do if none of the corners has the correct orientation.
