Weekly competition 2010-19

2x2
DNF DNS DNS DNS DNS = DNF
My eastsheen 2x2 fell to pieces during the first solve...

3x3
21.16, (27.43), 20.47, (19.10), 23.05 = 21.56
That's more like it.

4x4
3:19.96, 3:11.74, 3:22.88, (2:29.11), (3:32.57) = 3:18.19
Average is meh, but 2:29 is PB. It had OLL and PLL parity.

5x5
(5:40.38), 6:05.29, 6:43.09, 5:47.51, (7:30.32) = 6:11.96

Amazing 2nd solve. I don't remember the OLL but U perm.
3x3 BLD: DNF (1:54.43), 1:13.08, 1:36.04+
DNF 2 flipped edges.
2x2: 3.80, 7.74, 8.88, 6.82, 6.79
I just got my 2x2 a few minutes ago :) First was OLL skip and the rest could be seen too.
2x2 BLD: 31.68, 27.14, 18.39
Very easy last scramble.
2-3-4 Relay: 2:18.42
Bad 3x3 stage on the 4x4. Edges were paired at 1:35. DP :(
3x3 MultiBLD: 2/3 10:08.49
Bad time and bad result.

Comments:
Very sad with my OH performance. But at least I got one sub-60.
And I totally failed Magic. :(
Enjoyed the 2-3-4-5 Relay :)
It's been a month since I last touched Sq-1. My results for this week's Sq-1 sucks for me.

4x4x4bld: 8:14.03, dnf(8:44.38), dns = 8:14.03
Comment: These two were my first ever sub9. I changed my memo order which seemed to help a lot. The dnf was because of a wrong setup move.

5x5x5bld: dnf, dnf, dnf = dnf
Comment: Here we go again :( Well I guess it was my own fault since I tried to push memo again. I'm not posting the times as they are way off because of multible minutes used to try and remember the memo (which I couldn't). Usually it was the x-centers. In my next solve I will memo x-centers last and execute them first.

Solution: U' L U F R2 D2 B' D2 F2 D' L D F2 L' F2 L' D' L F' L' F D L F2 L' F' L F' L D'

Pre-moves: L D'

2x2x3: U' L U F R2 D2 B' D2
EO: F2 D' L D
F2L minus slot: F2 L'
Leave 3 corners: F L' F. L F2 L' F' L F'

Insert F' L F L' D' L F' L' F D at the dot to cancel 5 moves (heh, fun to use a sub-optimal commutator to cancel more moves :))

3x3: 40.61 49.91 43.85 89.31 87.06 = 60.27 :confused:
4x4: 3:25.02 3:12.05 3:44.27 3:10.46 4:03.30 = 3:27.11 Bad.
5x5: 6:18.84 7:25.01 7:00.91 10:02.79 6:58.96 = 7:08.29 Not as bad as the others :)
2-4Rel: 5:30.98 As bad as the others :(

Bld
2x2BLD: dnf dnf dnf = DNF :mad::mad:
3x3BLD: 1:56.05 2:01.22 3:08.27 = 1:56.05
OK. Major memory lapse on the third (too fast memo)
4x4BLD: dnf [9:30] dnf [8:06] 8:26 = 8:26 :D
Very good, the first two were not that far off either.
5x5BLD: dnf dnf dnf [18:56] = DNF
I cannot go safe any longer :). Although I set out to do that I don't manage
to hold back during execution. The third was my fastest ever albeit a DNF. Both memo and exec sub 10.
Not too disappointed, trying to keep up with all the speed phantoms :)
Multi: 4/8 = 0 in 56:23
Lots of small errors. One in analysis, I missed a flipped edge. One I could not recall memory.
Two (with a 3-cycle edges off) I executed the wrong direction. Still I feel I can make it with
a little bit of luck.
