Weekly competition 2010-40

[ArcticxWolf]

Square-1: 2:21.58 (3:24.53) 1:53.82 (1:22.62) 2:17.47 => 2:10.96

Comment: I just learned how to solve it yesterday. I know very little: intuitive cubeshape and CO, the alg that swaps UB and DF for EO, the parity alg, J on top for CP, and the alg that swaps UF-UL and DF-DL for EP. Even though this result will be close to the bottom, it's still fun

That's pretty good considering you just learned how to solve it! Keep practicing and get faster, square 1's really fun

4x4BLD: 8:27.75, dnf, dnf = 8:27.75 not very good
5x5BLD: dnf, dnf, dnf = DNF
I really tried , two were not even close.
Multi: 7/9 = 5 in 47:09 (memo 33)
One two-flip and one two-twist. Feels bad. Still speed for eleven.

Done blind
MTS: dnf 2:38.21 3:32.90 dnf dnf = DNF

3x3x3 Blindfolded: 2:04.40, 1:43.95, 1:47.23 = 1:43.95
I tried edge-freestyle. Memory&execution is too difficult for me.

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 7/7　39:21.27　(memory ~24:00 )
Memory is very fast.

[Keroma12]

I'm moving so all my other cubes are in a box. If I find that box I may do more events.

6x6x6: (4:24.40), 4:29.89, (4:45.12), 4:38.71, 4:34.14 = 4:34.25
The first was really bad, but with so much luck.

Edit: Found the box

3x3x3: 26.99, (28.97), 28.10, 28.05, (22.01) = 27.71
had the worst 3 solves of my av of 12
5x5x5: 2:47.61, (2:34.92), (3:07.43), 2:37.89, 2:53.24 = 2:46.25
last 4 had parity
Pyraminx: (10.59), 12.78, (15.52), 12.76, 12.39 = 12.64
3x3x3 OH: 1:24.47, (1:05.22), (1:36.14), 1:16.30, 1:20.98 = 1:20.58
7x7x7: 7:29.38, 7:41.72, (7:49.89), (7:21.59), 7:42.02 = 7:37.71
2x2x2: (10.45), 9.59, (5.35), 8.35, 8.44 = 8.79
best was non lucky too

I never seem to have time/concentration for BLD events anymore

Edit: So I did find some time

2x2x2 Blindfolded: 1:55.88, 1:29.62, DNF (1:25.25) = 1:29.62
3x3x3 Multi BLD: 0/2 (19:34.77)
Memo was about 12 min. I messed up the parity alg on the first so I just gave up on it after having done corners. The 2nd had 2 edges and 2 corners switched; It must have been a mistake during memo.
3x3x3 Blindfolded: 8:26.09, 7:46.05, 6:40.37 = 6:40.37
Yay 100% success! My last 6 or so attempts before today were DNFs
Next week I'm going to attempt 4x4x4 BLD

3x3x3 MTS: 1:41.23, 1:32.76, (1:25.22), (1:41.49), 1:33.38 = 1:35.79
4x4x4: (2:15.67), 2:35.39, (2:44.32), 2:36.33, 2:27.20 = 2:32.97
2x2x2 - 4x4x4 Relay: 2:36.75
What!? The same as 4x4 lol
2x2x2 - 5x5x5 Relay: 6:00.70
PB
Megaminx: (3:58.60), 3:22.04, 3:49.93, (2:46.90), 3:17.14 = 3:29.70
I haven't done megaminx in sooooo long... but managed a PB single
Square-1: 2:43.38, 2:48.31, (1:25.77), 2:41.12, (3:36.04) = 2:44.27
Guess which one didn't have parity. PB single and average
3x3x3 Feet: 7:03.51, (7:15.02), 6:17.16, (4:48.55), 4:58.57 = 6:06.41
Last time I did this was 2 months ago I think and the average was 8 min.

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 37

2x2x2: B' D2 L' D L D L' D2 L ; (9)
2x2x3: R' D B' D' B ; (5/14)
F2L#3: D F2 D' F D F' ; (6/20)
F2L#4: (F') D' F D F' D2 F2 L' F' L ; (9/29) - Spent about 15 min forcing the LL edges skip/LL easy corners
LL Corners: R D' L' D R' D' L D' ; (8/37)
Solution: B' D2 L' D L D L' D2 L R' D B' D' B D F2 D' F D F2 D' F D F' D2 F2 L' F' L R D' L' D R' D' L D' (37)
Only took about 30 min

PB by two moves. I almost gave up because after F2L#3, I could only find F2Ls for the last slot that ended up with bad LL edge cases. Then I finally found this one and it even gave me nice LL corners
