2x2: 12.97 15.13 19.44 43.96 14.83 = 16.47 best in a while
3x3: 42.47 64.42 49.53 44.14 119.70 = 52.70
4x4: 3:11.01 2:37.93 2:35.10 DNF 3:50.19 = 3:13.04
A pity. The last was the fastest I've ever done and then I mess up the PLL
and have to start over.
5x5: 6:40.62 6:06.75 9:15.81 6:51.21 7:50.11 = 7:07.31
Third was very fast both in centers and tredge pairing. Messed up the 3x3, ouch.
2-4Rel: = 4:54.58

Bld
2x2BLD: 48.41 49.59 35.63 = 35.63 ok
3x3BLD: dnf 1:59.10 dnf = 1:59.10 nah, still sub-2.
4x4BLD: 8:44 dnf 7:24.60 = 7:24.60
The first was good, the second not bad and the third excellent. Still memo was round 4:10, but the exec was so fluent.
Wow!! Pair this exec with my best memo and I can do round 6:30
5x5BLD: dnf [20:47] dnf [22:11] dnf [16:56] = DNF So close!!
The first was only two corners twisted, I thought minus instead of plus. The second was not very good. But the third!!!
Of course it was easy, but memo around 9:20 and exec like the third 4x4, but I messed up at the parity alg
(in the fluent high speed exec I happened to do wrong parity alg, so silly). And it could have been around 16:30 because
I spent time trying to undo my error. Sigh. Sigh again.
Again, it was an easy scramble
Multi: 6/8 = 4 in 55:51
A little disappointing, no errors that I felt or knew.
Don't know what went wrong. One cube had two twisted corners. One had a 3-C edges.

2x2x2: 15.53, (7.27), 13.73, (16.70), 13.09 = 14.12
7.27 was funny: lost about 2 seconds on a blank stare after doing the first side LOL
only required a two bar ortega + U to finish from there :fp
I just didn' recognize it all at that stage

3x3x3: (34.06), (55.47), 51.23, 39.92, 42.44 = 44.53

 

[mande]

2x2: 7.02, (4.06), 5.72, (8.48), 7.95 = 6.90
Comment: Decent.

3x3: 23.13, 20.98, (29.90), 22.44, (19.68) = 22.18
Comment: This was done on my worst cube.

3x3 OH: (29.58), 35.70, 30.43, 34.81, (38.28) = 33.64
Comment: Very nice.

3x3 BLD: DNF (3:04), 2:17.58, DNF (2:11) = 2:17.58
Comment: I have to start practising BLD again.

3x3 FMC: 25 moves
Solution: L' F2 B' R2 B2 R D L' U B2 U F L' F' R F L F' D R' D R2 B' D' B

Spoiler

Explanation:
1x2x3: L' F2 B' R2 B2 R
2x2x3: D L' U B2 U

Use inverse scramble with premoves U' B2 U' L D' R' B2 R2 B F2 L
Leave 3 corners (and this was really lucky): B' D B R2 D' R D' (R')
Solve 3 corners: (R) F L' F' R' F L F' (2 moves cancel)

Comments: Simply amazing. I found this solution in less than half an hour! My second sub 30 ever . I would consider this extremely lucky though.

3x3x3: 1. 14.59 PLL skip 2. (20.80) 3. (14.42) Easy OLL, T perm
4.17.98 5. 18.78=>17.12 Quite a fast average for me

[cubedude7]

3x3: 12.36, 11.22, (9.44), (15.27), 11.25 = 11.61 normal
OH: (24.53), (31.06), 25.02+, 26.77, 25.67 = 25.82 slightly worse than normally
Square-1: (36.67), 40.53, 41.38, (1:22.75), 57.52 = 46.47 normal avg
4x4: 59.72, (1:03.20), 1:02.69, 50.75, (49.38) = 57.72 :fp
2x2: 3.77, (2.02), 3.41, 5.20, (5.33) = 4.13 matches my offical avg ^^
Pyraminx: (7.14), 9.09, 11.52, 8.69, (13.50) = 9.77 okay average, third was LL skip
5x5: (2:10.95), (1:29.38), 1:50.70, 1:40.99, 1:51.94 = 1:47.88 amazing single! PLL skip
3x3 BLD: 1:21.19, DNF(1:03.16), 2:02.25 = 1:21.19 Nooooooooo! The second solve was 2 flipped edges :'(
2x2 BLD: 30.36, 13.67+, 37.27 = 13.67 Speed BLD
2x2-4x4: 1:26.49 LOOOOOOOL 2x2+3x3 were 11 s :fp :fp
Magic: (1.13), 1.19, 1.16, (4.25), 1.91 = 1.42 T_T
Megaminx: (1:28.86), 1:29.47, (1:40.92), 1:35.83, 1:38.98 = 1:34.76 okay

Awesome, 2x2 speed BLD. Where did you learn it?

 

[Mike Hughey]

4x4BLD: 8:44 dnf 7:24.60 = 7:24.60

Wow, Mats, Awesome! You're getting quite fast now!

[onionhoney]

2x2: 3.57, 3.49, (2.86), 3.73, (4.42+)=3.60 Terrible.
3x3: 10.48, (9.65), （12.93）, 10.24, 10.98=10.57 Not too bad.
4x4:

 

[BOoba]

3x3 : 22.40, (21.87), (24.75), 22.41, 22.55 = 22.45
4x4 : 2:26.42, 2:17.42, (1:59.09), 2:22.81, (3:00.47) = 2:22.22

 

[Isbit]

2x2: 7.09, 7.85, DNF, 10.90, 7.42 = 8.57
To bad about that DNF
2x2 BLD: 48.72, 43.83, 38.80 = 38.80
3x3 BLD: 2:15.69, 2:52.24, DNF = 2:15.69
These were all very slow. Bad memo and even worse execution with some memo pauses and forgotten pieces. I gave up the last one while solving corners.
4x4 BLD: DNF (15:20, 3 centers), DNF (11:13, 4:30, 4 centers)
during my second solve my computer decided to turn itself off, so I had to restart it and stop the timer. If you take one minute off from that one, it's actually a very nice time for me, and rather close too
Multi: 2/6 37:59 (25)
I was too tired, and it felt so nice with that blindfold on that I almost fell asleep, so I skipped the last three cubes (well, i did corners on one and edges on another). I tried to solve some corners with an a-perm for the first time on my first cube, hence the last unfinished cube. I guess the bad memo time is due to being too sleepy as well.

I need a better cube soooo badly. :/

Of course... not even in online competitions can I suck 5.

[Novriil]

Over a long time I have time to participate..

2x2: 3.92, 6.27, 4.04, 5.03, 4.89 = 4.65
3x3: 19.29, 18.72, 17.31, 22.85, 18.71 = 18.91
4x4: 1:31.24, 1:39.58, 1:41.17, 1:18.46, 1:30.69 = 1:33.83
Magic: 1.54, 1.29, 2.75, 1.35, 1.41 = 1.43
Master Magic: 4.13, 5.96, 4.67, 4.83, 4.29 = 4.60

Both Magics were great but cubes aren't so great.. Actually I'm really surprised about 3x3 results. Yesterday when I just solved it few times then I got almost every solve over-20..

3x3BLD: 4:42.84, DNF(5:29.26), DNF(5:39.57) = 4:42.84

Yeah.. Yesterday I just tried random BLD solves and all of them were DNFs. Now first one was nice

 

[gass]

222: 4.35; 5.60; 5.38; 6.09; 6.88 = 5.69 sub-6 is good
333: 14.43; 10.30; 15.05; 13.96; 14.46 = 14.28 good avg and nice single(pll skip)
444: 1:23.93; 1:17.93; 1:25.95; 1:27.36; 1:24.24 = 1:24.71
only the second solve was no parity, others was double parities
555: 2:07.31; 2:08.43; 2:07.78; 2:14.08; 2:07.13 = 2:07.84 normal
777: 6:31.17; 6:18.54; 6:13.51; 6:23.49; 6:27.84 = 6:22.29 nice
234: 1:48.51
2345: 3:55.78 sub-4 is very good
OH: 34.30; 35.53; 39.15; 43.15; 41.11 = 38.60 normal
222 BDF: 42.28; DNF; 57.34 = 42.28 the memo was very fast on the first one
333 BDF: DNF (4:56.87); DNF(5:48.52); 5:30.04 = 5:30.04
the first one was very fast for me, but totally failed, the second one was off by 2 edges, and the third one is my new pb, nice solve
pyraminx: 3.31; 4.85; 5.01; 5.68; 5.13 = 5.00 very good
megaminx: 2:00.34; 1:59.84; 1:49.78; 1:55.56; DNF = 1:58.58 sub-2 is ok

conclusion: nice week!!
