2x2 - 9.38 9.67 7.57 10.27 8.41 = 9.15
3x3 - 23.06 18.81 22.01 19.04 21.58 = 20.88
4x4 - 1.15.54 1.13.96 1.13.60 1.22.52 1.10.62 = 1.14.37
5x5 - 2.18.00 2.33.22 2.31.66 2.30.53 2.17.99 = 2.26.73 Comment - very nice 1st and 5th gave me a good avg I guess.
6x6 - 5.25.59 4.15.72 4.18.69 4.20.40 4.55.03 = 4.31.37 Comment - very crap 1st and 5th gave me a crap avg I guess. Since I pied this cube it is popping a lot. I've gotta get used to the feel I guess.
7x7 - 7.17.68 6.59.41 8.26.41 7.38.88 7.43.44 = 7.33.33
3x3 OH - 55.18 42.27 54.40 52.43 45.69 = 50.84 Comment - all non lucky.
Magic - 1.61 1.68 1.59 1.84 1.40 = 1.63 Comment - my best avg for some time I think
Master Magic - 2.65 2.71 4.44 2.75 2.65 = 2.70 Comment - should probably have gone for a safe sub3 solve on 5th. Took the gamble and it paid off this time I guess.
Clock - 14.63 17.89 16.99 14.57 15.59 = 15.74
Megaminx - 2.35.74 2.33.29 2.44.97 2.33.71 2.36.39 = 2.35.28
Pyraminx - 17.18 15.68 13.14 12.70 21.97 = 15.33 Comment - not bad, considering I haven't touched a pyraminx for weeks and weeks.
Square1 - 1.25.38 58.04 1.06.93 46.01 1.06.48 = 1.03.82

 

[MichaelErskine]

2x2x2: 9.34, 10.19, (13.79), (8.39), 9.67 = 9.73 (sub 10 avg = good for me)
3x3x3: (35.86), 36.92, 38.94, 38.66, (51.39) = 38.17 (normal for me)
Square-1: 2:58.02, 2:47.31, 1:51.02, 1:58.16, 1:34.64 equals 2:13.68
4x4x4: 2:13.95, 2:33.47, 2:14.81, 2:17.03, 1:51.27 equals 2:14.01

 

[oprah62]

2x2: 3.56, 3.53, 2.38, 2.63, 2.61 = 2.92 Bad cases on the first 2 solves.

For the first why didn't you just make the orange face then have the easiest eg 1 case ever?

 

[Kian]

MultiBLD- 3/4 33:32.10
3x3 OH- 19.23, 34.60, 26.85, 29.01, 23.19

3x3: 39.24 43.59 39.63 42.26 34.11 = 40.38 Good
4x4: 2:45.03 3:12.81 2:29.21 2:50.72 3:14.46 = 2:56.19 At least sub-3
5x5: 7:50.35 5:58.97 5:42.93 6:36.25 5:53.22 = 6:09.48 Avg PB
I've only had one single sub-6 before so this is very good (for me)
2-4Rel: 4:24.50 (OP)

Bld
2x2BLD: 64.60 35.01 37.92 = 35.01 So so
3x3BLD: dnf (2:15) dnf (1:57) 2:40.64 = 2:40.64 Plain bad
4x4BLD: dnf dnf 7:46.75 = 7:46.75 Sub-8 . Only one ok
5x5BLD: dnf (14:45) dnf (24:10) dnf (17:49) = DNF
Close and not too bad.
First was a R' off and a 8-10 edges because of that. Real fast .
Second I flipped the wrong edge, so two flipped edges.
Third 3-cycle +-centers.
Multi: 7/9 = 5 58:11
2 x 2 flipped edges off. Not too bad.

Done bld
2x2: 47.50 26.15 41.11 27.63 dnf = 38.75 avg PB
MTS: dnf 2:27.11 2:30.05 dnf (2 fl.edg) 2:41.51 = DNF
Too much parities and flips
6x6: 49:50 [memo 27:30] dns, dns, dns, dns = DNF
7x7: dnf [1:30.44, memo 51:55] dns, dns, dns, dns = DNF
not too bad, within reach

4x4: 2:42.14, DNF, 3:00.21, 3:04:79, 3:37.74 = 3:14.24 (new single pb, first timed 4x4 avg in my life )

Wow that's good. I don't usually try and make faces with an adjacent swap, I always inspect for layers, or layers with a diagonal swap. I must've just seen it and not even tried to predict the adj-EG case, as there was a 1/42 chance that I would know it

[eastamazonantidote]

3x3 OH: (38.45), 47.65, (58.79), 52.16, 46.24 = 48.68
Such a great start. Such a poor finish.

3x3 FMC: 27
Solution: U2 R2 B F R' U L' B R B2 U' R' B' R U R U2 R2 B' U2 B R' B' R U2 R' B2
Scramble: U B F' R B2 R F' R2 F L U R B2 D2 B U2

Spoiler

Premoves: R B
2x2x2: U2 R2 B F L'
2x2x1: [L] R' U [L']
1x2x3: B R B2
2x2x3 + EO: U' R' B' R
Leave 3 corners: U R U2
Undo premoves: R . B
Insert at dot: [R] B' U2 B R' B' R U2 R'
blah. Was stuck on how to continue after the 2x2x2 and 2x2x1 (which I was convinced was a good way to continue) for about 20 minutes. Didn't have time to find a better insertion. Seems I'm not even satisfied with a pb.

PyraMinx: 17.17, 19.97, (14.85), 19.44, (20.06) = 18.86
My Pyra times have been getting worse recently.

 

[mande]

3x3: 18.34, (17.70), 18.87, 20.16, (22.58) = 19.12
Comment: Not too good.

3x3 BLD: DNF(2:33.02), DNF(2:27.87), DNF(2:00.63) = DNF
Comment: Very bad. The first two were off by a 3 cycle of edges each. I forgot the memo on the third one in between the solve.

 

[Isbit]

3x3: 23.21, 22.43, 24.52, 23.93, 20.41 = 23.19
well, this was a disappointment.
2x2 BLD: 33.32, 41.03, 44.56 = 33.32
4x4 BLD:DNF [4:57, 4:30, a lot], DNF [12:02, 4:22, loads of edges, 6 corners + r2 off]
no 1: Did an alg wrong, tried to reverse it and... well, crap.
Multi: 5/10 60:00
10 cubes are still too tough for me. It got a little bit late since I was doing schoolwork, but I had decided I was going for the multi, and so I did. Mostly wrong because I keep mixing up the last cubes all the time. flipped edge on cube one, three-cykle corners on cube five, performed edgememo for the ninth cube on my eighth cube, mixed the corners of the last two cubes together.
Still one and a half week until Swedish open... practise, practise, practise.

Again a 16-move FMC-scramble??
This is my only response:
(which does forget me my previous week solve)

fmc: U B2 R U B L2 R B' F D2 B F' R' D2 R D' F' R' F R' D L U R2 (24)

explanation:
NISS-solve:
normal scramble:
pre-move: L U' R2
2x2x3: U B2 R U B L2 (6+3) (NB second move was an inserted one)
switch to inverse scramble with pre-moves [L2 B' U' R' B2 U']
Pseudo F2L: R2 U L' D' R F' R F D (9 + 6)
all but 3 edges: R' D2 R2 (12 + 6)
edges: R' F B' D2 F' B R' (18 + 6)
premove correction: L2 B' U' R' B2 U' (24)
invert the whole thing.

Again a 16-move FMC-scramble??

Because I have access to a fast computer, I always make it a point to generate optimal scrambles. It's funny how often the ones for FMC wind up being the short ones.

 

[Chrish]

2x2 - 9.66, 4.67, 7.86, 5.78, 8.4 = 7.27
3x3 - 18.88, 19.57, 19.27, 20.02, 18.52 = 19.25
4x4 - 1:38.75, 1:40.31, 1:35.83, 1:53.63, 1:34.60 = 1:40.62

I'm currently learning CLL for the 2x2, I've got 19 down atm, and I didn't encounter any of them in those solves, hehe.

No matter how much I practice 4x4 I don't get any faster = \
