3x3x3 FMC : 34 moves

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

Solution : R' U R U' R' U' R U' R' U2 R U2 B2 U' R' U2 R B' R2 B' U2 D L R2 F' R' B' D' F2 D B D' F2 B'

Spoiler

Explanation:
On inverse scramble: B R' F U' F2 L' F B' U2 D F' L2 F' L B2 R D2 L
2x2x2: B D* R F R2 . L' D' (7)
2x2x3: U2 B R2 (3)
F2L-1: B R' U2 R U B2 (6)
Leave 3 corners: U2 R' U2 R U R' U R U R' U' R (12)
Insert at * [D' F2 D, B'] (8-2 = 6)
Can also be done as : Insert at . [R2 , B' L' B] (8-2=6)
I chose the first one.
Then invert full solve.

Too much time wasted looking for an alternative start ( after missing one 25 mover last time, I had to ) Barely 1 minute was left when I inverted the solution. Fortunately, there was no mistake.

3x3x3: 36.27 (33.43) 37.48 (38.62) 35.43 = 36.93

Did the solves again seens im improving so quickly XD

 

[Novriil]

Missed the last weekly.. Now I'll do all the events that I can.. Only 4x4, relays and bigcubes BLD are out. In few weeks I should get my miniQJ also.

2x2:
5.79, 5.36, 6.93, 3.68, 3.57 = 4.94 (σ = 0.91)
Last times were good.. started off pretty badly.

3x3:
18.70, 17.99, 19.37, 17.02, 13.46 = 17.90 (σ = 0.69)
Very nice lookahead on the last solve. Usual average.

5x5:
3:24.99, 2:37.92, 2:42.84, 2:26.67, 2:25.25 = 2:35.81 (σ = 6.77)
First solve tried with Frank Morris edges but I decided that I will not use these edges on weeklys until I get sub-3 minute averages with it.

2x2BLD:
DNF(4.53), DNF(11.89), 43.47 = 43.47
First one I looked that it's very easy but DNF.. and then when I just wanted to see what did I do wrong then I saw that I scrambeled it wrong :fp Last one was slow just because I wanted to solve it for sure.

3x3BLD:
4:37.96, DNS, DNS = 4:37.96
I'm very happy with it. Nice memo.

3x3OH:
34.84, 42.99, 42.58, 26.95, 50.31 = 40.14 (σ = 3.75)
PB on 4th solve and worst solve ever on last solve..

3x3MBLD:

3x3FT:

3x3MTS:

3x3FM:

Magic:
1.52, 1.47, 1.26, 1.25, 1.29 = 1.34 (σ = 0.09)
Good average. 1.26 felt much faster than 1.25..

Master Magic:
3.39, DNF, 4.93, 5.57, 5.46 = 5.32 (σ = 0.28)
One string came off on DNF.. After that I had to take the speed down in order to keep my master magic in one piece.

Megaminx:
3:45.74, 3:12.89, 3:38.64, 4:19.72, 3:46.62 = 3:43.67 (σ = 3.57)
Nice avg when considering that I haven't touched my megaminx since the pre-last weekly or something.

Pyraminx:
10.73, 8.78, 12.61, 7.70, 8.03 = 9.18 (σ = 1.14)
Normal average.. Last solve was terrible at the beginning but LL skip.. Still tips took a lot of time.

Square-1:
3:31.38, 2:15.98, 1:50.03, 1:21.97, 1:09.00 = 1:49.33 (σ = 22.06)
I didn't remeber the algs at the first messed up the parity twice on the first solve.

Pyraminx: (20.13), 8.37, 10.50, (6.97), 9.13 = 9.33, normal, very changing times.
Megaminx: 2:12.85, (1:52.60), 2:01.33, (2:37.44), 2:25.64 = 2:13.27, YES YES!! FIRST SUB-2 EVER!!
Square-1: (23.79), (35.73), 26.69, 24.55, 24.22 = 25.15, pretty much what I average.
Clock: 14.04, 13.57, DNF(16.16), (11.53), 16.00 = 14.54, that last solve screwed it up
