-----------------
4x4x4BLD: DNF DNF DNF
comment: I was able to account for every error with a post-mortem. All errors were execution errors. Memory recall was fine on all 3 solves.
5x5x5BLD: DNF 17:55.65 DNF
comment: I was able to figure out 2 of 3 errors in the first solve with my post-mortem. The third error I think was an execution mistake. On the third solve I forget to execute a location, but I recalled it after the solve.

Done BLD

4x4x4: (5:36.31) 7:14.31 (DNF) 7:24.95 7:25.50 = 7:21.59
5x5x5: DNF DNF 14:21.02 DNF DNF
comment: First solve I mixed up two images that look similar. I changed one of the images slightly to avoid this happening again. The second solve I forgot to memo the centralmost center cycle on a re-oriented solve. I also appear to have made a fairly significant memo error during wings. It affected 2-3 images. 4th and 5th solves were both execution mistakes I caught with a post-mortem.
6x6x6: DNF DNS DNS DNS DNS
comment: Did the very last wing cycle incorrectly. Replaced it subconsciously with a different, faster, cycle than the one I had.

Back to the weekly comp after a couple weeks absent (sorting uni, jobs, holidays etc). Hopefully no more breaks this year!

2x2: 6.66, (5.06), 5.23, 5.68, (9.02) => 5.86

3x3: (17.18), (19.89), 18.49, 18.55, 17.91 => 18.32

4x4: (3:18.92), 2:51.27, 2:46.21, (2:29.69), 2:50.84 => 2:49.44

2x2 BLD: DNF [1:24.64], 1:22.84, 1:26.74 => 1:22.84

3x3 BLD: 13:35.86, DNS, DNS => 13:35.86

ZZ for 4x4 to?

 

[Keroma12]

I finally found some spare time:

3x3x3: 23.84, (19.02), (28.71), 24.13, 20.04 = 22.67

A week ago I was averaging 26-27 sec, but got really busy so took a break from cubing for the week. Then I do this with my really bad store-bought cube. I was expecting around 30-35 because of the break and the cube, but this is just amazing I rarely get sub20, and almost 2 here!

 

[guusrs]

3x3x3: 18.78 18.64 19.34 (16.49) (19.84) ==> 18.92

fmc: D' L2 F' D L' D L D2 L' D' L U L U' L' U' F U F' B2 D F2 R D2 L' (25)

explanation:
NISS solve:
regular scramble:
pair: D'
switch to inverse scramble with pre-move [D]:
2x2x3: L D2 R' F2 D' B2 (6+1)
switch to regular scramble with premoves [B2 D F2 R D2 L']:
F2L: D' L2 F' D L' D L D2 L' D' (10+6)
LL: L U L U' L' U' F U F' (19+6)
pre-move correction: B2 D F2 R D2 L' (25)
So many nice starts, so little time to explore......

Congratz Tomoaki, good luck at your next comp in Bangkok;-)
BTW: what are you doing in Lyon? Can't you hop to Budapest this weekend? Only 1400km!

[MatsBergsten]

Magic: DNF 2.27 2.08 1.71 1.74 1.68

Those are six times ! (Skipping the last if you don't tell me the correct ones)

 

[MatsBergsten]

3x3: 38.58 38.44 38.32 38.01 89.32 = 38.45 Good! Avg PB
The consistency of the first four solves was amazing.
4x4: 3:00.96 4:01.78 3:05.94 2:33.58 3:05.02 = 03:03.97
back to plain bad
2-4Rel: 3:56.26 Sub-4 is still good for me
2-5Rel: 10:43.98 OK

Bld
2x2BLD: 36.25 36.80 27.87 = 27.87
As Mike said, the third was easy
3x3BLD: 2:34.76 dnf 1:50.13 = 1:50.13 Acceptable
4x4BLD: dnf 7:58.08 dnf = 7:58.08 At least sub-8
(Beginning to get pretensions )
5x5BLD: dnf dnf dnf = DNF
How can I make 3/5 of the normal solves and 0/3 here?
Multi: 6/8 = 4 in 45:55
Rather bad. Messed up one and forgot the corner memo on one.
Did not have stamina to figure out what the missing corner memo was,
that's not normal (I still had almost 15 minutes to do that but I knew it was
not a perfect Multi anyway)

Done bld too
2x2: 37.41 54.25 46.00 35.70 33.10 = 39.70 ok
5x5: dnf 17:58.42 dnf 19:50.19 19:11.76 = DNF
Not bad at all. Number three could have made a new avg PB.
The first I totally messed up after less than a minutes exec.
MTS 02:14.54 dnf dnf dnf dnf = dnf
There are many moments to mess up a backwards bld solve at

 

[Cride5]

ZZ for 4x4 too?

Yup, doing EOLine during edge pairing, described here:

[a small kitten]

Any plans on starting OH?

Congratz Tomoaki, good luck at your next comp in Bangkok;-)

Gus

Thanks Guus, I'll try my best!
And interesting, both of the solutions (yours and mine) employed NISS and ended up with a pair 3-cycle.

I'm attending an academic conference in Lyon, and must go back to Japan as soon as it finishes (Friday). I know Euro 2010 will be held in Budapest this weekend, but unfortunately I can't go.

So you too, Guus, good luck!

 

[Cride5]

Any plans on starting OH?

Dunno, I did try it once, in the weekly comp .. I'll see if I can dig up...
*searches*
... lol, yea I'm pretty bad at OH :fp

3bld: 1:07.19, 1:11.56, DNF = 1:07.19

the 2nd was very easy but i forgot edges

I assume my victory will be short lived, but I'm enjoying it for now And I won 2-5 relay (so far). Never saw that one coming

 

[Alcuber]

My one handed results weren't there, doesent matter i would've come last anyway

 

[Tim Major]

Sorry they're late, I've been a bit busy, so I haven't had time to enter them.

I found 26 moves using NISS to 3 corners (I switched back and forth from normal to inverse a lot of times) but then lost that sheet of paper :/ I then found a 14 move f2l -1 corner. This ended up being 36 moves. I searched for aaaaggggeeeessss for a good finish but couldn't find one.

Small week. I'm doing all but 6x6, 7x7, magic and 5bld in #40. Very off week :/

 

[ManSkirtBrew]

Worse and worse every week. Yay.
