Weekly competition 2010-12

[kinch2002]

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

You couldn't resist the pull of the weekly comp forever!

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

You couldn't resist the pull of the weekly comp forever!

I knew I couldn't - that's why I left myself this escape clause. (Note rule 4.)

2x2: 8.45, (6.37), 8.16, (12.62), 9.05 = 8.55
Recognized the wrong alg on the 4th solve. Not bad, not good.

4x4: 2:00.33, (2:22.99), 1:53.17, 1:52.81, (1:32.53) = 1:55.44
First 2 were awful, last one was a pb. Almost a minute between best and worst xP

Broke my light last week so couldnt be bothered finishing in darkness. This week i will.

2x2: 11.84, 12.46, (8.00), 8.43, (12.54) = 10.91

3x3: 27.79, 23.49, 25.14, (23.07), (27.88) = 25.47
Good enough.

4x4: To be completed.

2x2 BLD: To be completed.

3x3 OH: (1:10.22), 1:00.69, 56.21, (56.42), 1;04.11 = 1:00.41

3x3 MTS: To be completed.

3x3 Fewest Moves: To be completed

2-4 Relay: To be completed.

Clock: To be completed.

Pyraminx: (22.36), 18.22, 16.60, 14.59, (11.27) = 16.47
Very Bad.

I just have to point this out.. Okay you got all the solves on 2-4 better than you're best solves on single attempts.. that might happen.

But 2-5???
If you're best 5x5 time was 1:22 then you solved 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 in just 10 seconds.. wow!

Comment: Meh.

3x3x3 Blindfolded: DNF, DNF(2:06.66), DNF(2:34.59) = DNF
Comment:
4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF(27:31.1), DNF(31:57.23), DNS = DNF
Comment: First try was off by a 3-cycle of centres, r2 and then 3-cycle of wings.

Maybe he misunderstood the relay thing and solved only a 2x2 + 4x4 in the first event and a 2x2 + 5x5 in the last?

Anyway, Mats is getting extremely good at al cubes - he is actually matching Feliks on the 3x3!

 

[joey]

He will have meant 2:32 obviously.
As for the 55 *shrug*
2 + 9 + 44 = 55. Easily possible.

5x5x5BLD: 14:12.68
18:63.14 14:12.68 DNF(15:15.78)
14:12 is new PB. The DNF was because I forgot to fix centers after preorienting. I do that a lot, but I only preorient centers in ~ 1 out of 5 cases.

YOU ARE good at bld.

China is great BLD's country. a lot of cubers can BLD solve in 2min. So i think i'm not good at BLD.

Note:Thank you for your compliment.I think i'll be better.

FMC: 34 HTM

Solution: U D L' D2 L D B R F' R' F D' B' D R D R' D R2 D B' R' L' D F U2.' R2 U' L2 U R2 U' L D'

For inverse scramble with U' pre-move:

2x2x2: D L U'. F' D' L
Siamese 2x2x3: R B D' R2 D' R D' R'
Leave 3 corners: D' B D F' R F R' B' D' L' D2 L D'

Insert U L2 U R2 U' L2 U R2 U2 at the dot, cancelling 3 moves.

Difficult scramble! Bad edges in the end caused me a lot of trouble and I had a hard to find a decent end.

2x2x2 BLD: 1:56.20
1. 3:35.71 [1:20.14 + 2:15.57 - Failed half way though memo, had to start again]
2. 1:56.20 [54.59 + 1:01.61] - yay, new pb - finally sub-2]
3. DNF [1:25.84 + 47.76 = 2:13.60 - memo failure I think]

3x3x3 BLD: DNF
1. DNF [10:29.94 + 7:26.41 = 17:56.35 - 5 edges + 4 corners, no idea what went wrong :-/]
2. DNF [10:22.02 + 6:28.78 = 16:50.80 - BUGGER only 3 corners out ]
3. DNF [17:29.77 + 7:41.39 = 25:11.16 - total failure, got distracted during memo, and forgot corners during execution. The 2 previous solves also caused my memory to get confused]
Overall: Total failure with 3x3x3 BLD this week :fp hopefully some better luck next time..

You can undo moves, you know. It doesn't matter as long as you have a solution written down at the end of the hour... (and it has to WORK, unlike yours )
