Gotta use the scrambles given on the first page. Everyone uses the same scrambles so you should too. Here they are:

3x3x3

[MatsBergsten]

3x3: 48.33 50.92 42.63 42.42 38.46 = 44.46 normal
4x4: 3:04.18 2:22.28 2:49.62 2:30.66 2:43.33 = 2:41.20 PB both single and average
5x5: 10:22.17 6:32.70 10:32.15 7:25.07 7:36.92 = 8:28.05
So bad. But my best 5x5-cube broke at bld and now I have got no good one.
6x6: 20:32.00, 16:12.70, dns, dns, dns = dnf
I almost never do this. So two PB:s so far, I'll see if I finish the average.
2-4Rel: 5:27.08 Ouch.

2x2BLD: 30.31 42.00 44.22 = 30.31 So so...
3x3BLD: 2:14.66 2:19.29 1:42.19 = 1:42.19
Managed one decent. The first two just slow.
4x4BLD: dnf 7:35.77 dnf = 7:35.77
Only one solved which is bad, but third week in a row sub-8
5x5BLD: 20:05 dnf dnf = 20:05
Second so so, third I think was good but with only some edges left one of the axis
broke and I had the worst pop ever, more than half the cube fell apart.
Multi: 6/8 = 4 45:59 memo 31:55
One had two edges flipped and one 4 edges and 4 corners off.
A little surprised at the bad result, it felt good all way through. Speed for ten.

Done bld
2x2: 34.31 39.04 41.29 dnf 39.46 = 39.93
MTS: dnf 3:11.03 2:38.30 2:34.80 dnf = DNF Bad accuracy.
7x7: 1:27:36.00 [memo 49:37] dns, dns, dns, dns = DNF
Fantastic. When I was ready I hardly dared remove the blindfold and open my eyes. But it was solved

@Chris: yes, I think doing 6/7-bld helps 4/5-bld. Doing obliques perhaps make you realize what
commutators not to apply to 4/5-bld. Then memoing smaller cubes feels so easy after the big ones.
But it is not very much better practice than doing a lot of 5-solves.

[Ditto64]

2x2: 7.11, 7.20, (6.08), 7.21, (16.02) = 7.17
Last solve was me having a brain failure.

3x3: (15.89), 25.71, 22.84, 27.53, (35.32) = 25.36
15.89 new PB! But 35.32 = :fp

4x4: (1:43.70), 1:51.35, 1:53.99, (DNF), 1:46.43 = 1:50.59

3x3 OH: 58.92, 1:00.35, (55.09), (1:00.71), 55.71 = 58.33

2x2+3x3+4x4 relay: 2:12.53
First time.

Magic: (2.78), (1.58), 1.67, 2.22, 1.90 = 1.93
New PB, single and average.

Master Magic: (8.56), 7.30, 8.40, (5.79), 7.25 = 7.65

Pyraminx: (23.81), (11.77), 23.21, 21.69, 20.66 = 21.85
I use a weird method in which you solve 1 whole layer, then the rest (don't know what it's called).

Clock: (43.87), 43.81, 41.91, 40.44, (38.37) = 42.05
This is my first time so I'm rather slow

Are you still using the Mf8 I?

2x2x2 Blindfolded: 56.60, DNS, DNS = 56.60

3x3x3 Blindfolded: 3:44.88, DNS, DNS = 3:44.88
Good!

4x4x4 Blindfolded: 18:28.94, DNS, DNS = 18:28.94
Sub 20 min, good for me.

5x5x5 Blindfolded: 41:05.00, DNS, DNS = 41:05.00
PB! Yay!

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 3/4 (40:00.00)
I solved all cubes in 40:23.20. I have still not succeeded in 4 cubes. How frustrating...

Haha. Whoops.

 

[MTGjumper]

Sq1: 15.78, 13.46, 15.41, (15.91), (9.92) = 14.88 I had 4 parities; I dare you to guess which one didn't have parity.

 

[da25centz]

3x3: (31.90), 35.47, (48.38), 33.81, 34.46 => 34.58!
When I did the first one at a new non-luck PB, i knew it would be good. My lookahead fell apart on the 48, i mentally confused green orange and blue orange during the f2l and it was downhill from there.

 

[Keroma12]

...a new non-luck PB...

Update your sig

 

[Tim Major]

2x2: 4.33, 2.28, 4.59, 6.03, 4.53 =
Wow nice. 2.28 there was a kinda pseudo layer built, and I saw I could do y niklas y R2 for the solve. Also, the rest used COLL (note, not a typo)
3x3: 19.18, 15.88, 16.36, 19.58, 18.56 =
Counting 19 watafail.
4x4: 1:16.78, 1:19.86, 1:12.84, 1:17.33, 1:22.84 =
DP, PP, NP, PP, DP. So much parity :/ A 1:16 with Parity O_O. Maru lube made this mini QJ soooooo good. My Yaudux has improved slightly, (55~) but I'm mainly noticing the improvement in my 3x3 stage. It's dropped 5-10s
5x5: 2:44.83, 3:00.75, 3:18.06, 2:46.34, 3:07.77 =
3 sup 3s
2x2 Blindfolded: DNF (21.03), DNF (24.05), 1:00.72 = 1:00.72
2nd was off by J-perm. I thought PBL was R2 F2 R2. Last was Old Poch.
3x3 Blindfolded: DNF(30.80) DNF(8.08) 4:26.60 = 4:26.60
YAYAYAYAYAY. Easy corners. previous two, edges were really hard, so I didn't bother attempting.
3x3 One Handed: 27.22, 35.83, 22.40, 28.86, 32.77 =
Dumb last solve. 22.40 full step O_O
3x3 Fewest Moves: 28 F D' B' D F' D' B R D R' D' U2 F' D F U' L' D L U' R' U' R U2 F2 L B R'
Inverse scramble to understand. U L U R' F R L D2 R' U2 L' D R' L D B R2 B'
Almost 2x2x3: R B' L' F2 U2 R' U R
Keyhole Double: x2 D L' U' L
Keyhole insertion of edge: D B' U' B
Last F2l plus forced OLL skip: D2 U R U R' U' R U' R'
PLL: R2 B U B' R2 F D' F D F2
Grey is cancellation.
Then used Niklas to solve LL in place.
R B' L' F2 U2 R' U R U L' D' L U F' D' F U2 D R D' R' B' D F D' B D F'
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 Relay: 1:51.47
Nice.
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5: 5:33.05
Terrible.
Master Magic: 4.90, 4.91, 4.90, 4.93, 4.06 = 4.90
SD: 0.01 lol. Wow. I thought sub 5 was a good single for me This didn't even feel fast.
Clock: 17.22, 13.34, 15.36, 16.66, 17.72 =
Meh.
Megaminx:

Pyraminx: 7.69, 6.43, 7.52, 9.65, 6.21 =
Too many tips on the only nice scramble.
Square-1:


More to come. Very good OH, 4x4, FMC and 3BLD.
