Weekly competition 2010-17

3x3x3 FMC: 31 moves

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

Solution: F L B U2 F2 D' B D F' D' B' D' U F2 R' D2 R F R B R' F2 R B' F2 R F R' D' F2 D (31)

2x2x2: F L B U2 F * U(6)
2x2x3: D2 F2 R' D2 (4)
F2l-1: R F R B R' F2 R B' (8)
Leave 3 corners: F2 R F R' D' F2 D (7)

Insert at * : F D' B D F' D' B' D( 8 -2 = 6)
Found skeleton with a straight 33 mover in about 25 minutes. Insertion was done at 30min. Tried other starts but lost interest at 40 minutes. Good solve anyway ( except the inefficient start)

2x2x2: 8.84, 9.94, 7.75, (7.09), (DNF) = 8.84 avg.
Comment: Ouch. Been practicing only 3x3 lately, so my 2x2 times have gotten bad.

3x3x3: 24.61, (33.08), 23.22, (22.96), 24.09 = 23.97 avg.
Comment: PB average! I guess all my practice is starting to pay off!

2x2: 16.35 15.09 16.36 16.88 16.79 = 16.50
What! So consistent.
3x3: 45.03 53.50 49.50 55.64 48.54 = 50.51 :(:(
Far from sub-40
4x4: 3:24.03 3:08.16 4:43.99 2:56.41 2:58.85 = 3:10.35
A step backwards, but not too bad.
5x5: 6:26.35 8:26.08 6:59.59 9:27.68 7:40.77 = 7:42.15
7x7: DNF DNS DNS DNS DNS = DNF tried to do one with blind algs
but got too tired in my hands and messed it up after 47 minutes.
2-4Rel: dnf So good up to P-parity on the 4x4 :(:(

Blind
2x2BLD: 44.18 78.09 dnf = 44.18 bad
3x3BLD: 1:55.48 dnf dnf = 1:55.48 ok
4x4BLD: dnf dnf 12:24 = 12:24 third was a real safe
5x5BLD: dnf dnf dnf = DNF
Disappointing. Second was fast and close but I forgot a pair of letters.
Third I tried to go slow and safe but noticed after a while that I did +-center comms while solving x-centers. Then I lost the gist.
Multi: 6/8 = 4 in 57:07
First try on eight. One pair of corners twisted (wrong image), another had a 3-C edges wrong.
Rather satisfied anyway, no problem with the time limit nor memory.

3x3x3 Blindfolded: DNF(1:47.59), 1:26.99, 1:31.96 = 1:26.99
Comment: PB! The 1:26 broke my massive DNF streak.
4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF(10:29.40), DNF(10:32.11), DNF = DNF
Comment: For the last two solves I didn't review my memorization, so I forgot wings by the time I was solving them.
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 3/6 = 0 in 32:40
Comment: That was bad, slower than my usual 7 cube tries. I messed up the order of the 5th and 6th cubes (and fixed that incorrectly), and undid a mistake on the 4th cube that didn't actually happen.

3x3x3: Avg = 19.90
(26.45), 17.90, 20.05, (13.89), 21.77
I had to redo some F2L on the first because I ruined my OLL, 13.89 is my second fastest solve ever and was non lucky. :D

4x4x4: Avg = 3:09.42
2:36.82, (DNF (0.00)), (2:10.93), 2:35.92, 4:15.52
Unless I solved it in 0.004 seconds it was a timer malfunction. I failed the OLL parity alg and had to resolve some centers and pair up the last four dedges again.

2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 relay: = 4:27.59
4x4 center and edge pop. :(

3x3x3 OH: Avg = 34.22
31.19, 39.27, (43.07), (26.84), 32.19
Applied the wrong OLL on the 43, 26 was a PLL skip.

3x3 FMC = 39 moves
X cross: z' U R U' F L' U (6 moves)
F2L #2: z2 U' L U2 L' U' L U L' (8 moves)
F2L #3: U R U2 R' U2 R U' R' (8 moves)
F2L #4: U' F U' F' U2 L' U' L (8 moves)
OLL+PLL skip: y2 r U' r2 U r2 U r2 U' r (9 moves)
(or L x' U' L2 x2 U L2 x2 U L2 x2 U' L x')
I found the X cross accidently while figuring out ways to make a cross, the PLL skip was pure chance. :D

Pyraminx: Avg = 19.56
(16.78), 20.57, 21.31, (26.57), 16.79

2x2x2 BLD: = 57.68
DNF, 57.68, DNF
First time entered in this event.

3x3x3 BLD: = 2:12.38
2:37.30, 2:12.38, DNF (Gave up through memo)
Nice.

4x4x4 BLD: = 27:51
DNF(27:13), 27:51, DNF
I spent minutes pointlessly memorising the edges because the 5th target was incorrect and I couldn't be bothered to try and recover.

3x3 Multi BLD: = 1/2 in 8:41.89
Off by 2 flipped edges, I should of known, I remember seeing it but I didn't take it into account.

I'm getting slower... but at least I broke my dnf streak :)
Click to expand...

I beat you this week (once I post my results). Nice, but sub-WR next week please :). Got any memo times?
Click to expand...

I'll try :)

Memo was 8-9 min on all solves because I badly wanted to end the dnf streak. My plan before the dnf streak was to stress memo and take the dnf'ing until my brain got used to the stressed memo, but that didn't seem to happen or I got discouraged too fast. Now I will do regular memo and start stressing execution to see if I can get that faster and maybe then get memo faster because I will have to remember for a shorter period. Did that make sense? :)

Yeah that makes sense - my speed just came together at once, so I executed fast while trying to memo fast as well and it worked (lucky me :)). I think I had one subWR solve in this weeks comp, not sure yet though because they're written down on some random piece of paper somewhere.

Well, my PB is 14:13. I imagine you'll get me soon. I'll try harder next week :)
