My non-BLD event of the week:
3x3x3: 22.90, 22.36, 21.96, 24.63, 23.36 = 22.87
Comment: Pretty good for me.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 31.46, 23.36, 36.09 = 23.36
3x3x3 BLD: 1:41.53, 1:33.91, DNF [1:43.84] = 1:33.91
Comment: Third one off by an R turn and 5 edges – must have missed an R turn somewhere.
4x4x4 BLD: 7:50.47 [4:18], 6:43.31 [3:37], 7:35.13 [4:37] = 6:43.31
Comment: Nice!
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [15:46.49, 8:00], DNF [16:47.70, 8:59], 13:38.07 [6:57] = 13:38.07
Comment: First one had 2 centrals flipped, second one had 3 corners wrong. Third one was just amazing.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 1/3 = DNF, 8:11.18 [4:42]
Comment: I should be disappointed, but I’m not, because of the time! First cube was off by 3 edges – I forgot to do an image. Third cube was off by 2 edges flipped – I did a 3 cycle incorrectly.

And non-BLD events done BLD:
2x2x2: 21.93, 20.06, DNF [29.46], 29.53, 42.36 = 31.27
Comment: Third one off by 3 pieces.
6x6x6: DNF [31:56.20, 18:01], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: Completely scrambled. Corners were off by a single turn and double parity (I applied parity in the wrong place), so it appears certain I misoriented the cube sometime early but after I did the corners. I knew it was off the whole time I was solving because the cube was having alignment problems the wrong direction the whole time. But I didn’t expect it to be this scrambled! :(
7x7x7: DNF [55:49.52, 27:47], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: This was not a good week for really big cubes BLD for me. Apparently it was a bunch of little mistakes. I was off by 8 obliques, 3 inner + centers, 3 inner X centers, and 6 inner wings. The wings appeared to be a mismemorization. A few of the obliques were due to a mismemorization that I realized when I was solving; I tried to reason out what the correct memorization was, but there wasn't enough information to fully figure it out so I guessed. I'd guess this took at least 5 minutes, so really the solve wasn't that slow except for that.
3x3x3 OH: DNF [3:40.40], DNF [4:10.81], 4:16.78, 2:36.03, 3:16.52 = DNF
Comment: First one off by 3 corners; second one off by 2 edges flipped; second and third ones both had bad memorization recall pauses.
Magic: 13.00, 11.83, 11.59, 8.96, 12.11 = 11.84
Comment: OHITABLD.
Master Magic: 4.09, 4.00, 3.69, 5.25, 3.80 = 3.96
Clock: DNF [2:34.33, 0:38], DNF [2:38.50, 0:25], DNF [1:59.75, 0:30], 1:56.88 [0:34], DNF [2:02.33, 0:26] = DNF
Comment: Wow, that was bad. Little mistakes from trying to go too fast. Two of them would have been +2 with suggested adjusted rules: the first and third ones required just one turn one notch to solve. The second one had 2 centers and 2 edges off by 2 each, and the fifth one required 2 turns one notch each to fix it.
Pyraminx: 1:54.05, 1:13.16, 1:30.31, 1:00.47, 1:04.15 = 1:15.87
Comment: If I just go a little bit slower, I can get reasonable accuracy. I’m going to try harder for this in the future.
Square-1: DNF [10+, 3:45], DNF [5:20.30, 2:35], DNF [5:33.06, 3:41], 6:00.51 [3:43], 6:00.14 [3:01] = DNF
Comment: Very disappointing; all stupid mistakes. First one I memorized the whole thing upside down and didn’t realize it until I started solving, then I forgot how I was supposed to hold it. Really stupid. Second one had the shapes upside down from my memorized position; I’m supposed to line the pieces up on the left instead of the right, do a slice move, then do (6,6) before continuing; I forgot to do the (6,6). Hopefully I’ll remember this and never make that mistake again. Third one I had edge parity and realized it, but I forgot to do it at the end. Cases US, DC, NW, DA, QV.

Wow, what a super week this has been! ;)

3x3x3BLD: DNF 3:31.96 2:38.61
4x4x4BLD: DNF 9:34.92 7:58.29
5x5x5BLD: DNF DNF DNF
Fewest Moves: 44 turns
Scramble: F2 D' L2 B' D B' L' F' U' B2 R D F2 L2 B D' F U2

Solution: L2 D' R2 D L' D' R2 D2 L' U B D' L U' R U' D' R' D B2 R' U2 R2 U D B D' R' B' R U R2 L' D L D' R D2 R' D2 B' D' B D

2x2x2 including orientation of the 3 centers and some other edges: L . D L' U B D' L
The building edge for a 2x2x3 + the 4th center orientation: U' R U'
Orient 2 edges: D' R' D
complete 2x2x3 preserving orientation of the 4 centers: B2 R' U2 R2 U2
expand to a F2L minus one pair and orient the 5th center: U' D B D' R' B' R U R2
Switch to the un-oriented center on LL as a trial to see what happens: L' D L
Try a center preserving ZBF2L to see what happens, and luckily be done except for a corner 3 cycle: D' R D2 R' D2 B' D' B D

Insert L D' R2 D L' D' R2 D at the dot to solve the last 3 corners and cancel 2 moves.

This solve was a bit odd. I spent quite a lot of time building a particular block, and in doing so built another one by accident. I tried a continuation on the accidental block out of curiosity, and it worked out quite well for the rest of the solve! Yay for unexpected developments in a FMC solve! :)
Done BLD:

5x5x5: DNF, DNF, 31:14.39 (18:xx), 29:07.84 (16:xx), 26:29.18 (17:xx) = DNF
comment: The 5th solve is my new pb! :D

No, it's definitely a 5x5x5 cube, and it's definitely a pb as well ;) Mike definitely still owns the 6x6x6 BLD UWR as far as I'm aware.

On your WCA profile is says you got a 15:22.00 5x5 BLD so how is 26:29.18 your pb?

I think I'll just say that, for me, this week's competition really was super ;)

Super job, Chris!

Haha, thanks Mike ;)

Also, nice job on your 4x4x4 and especially that third 5x5x5 solve! Wow!

I still haven't restickered my 5x5x5 yet; it might be a few weeks before I can try, but I certainly will give it a try before the end of the year.

Let me know when you do, we can discuss methodologies :) I'm still working on my center parity fixes. I've made them much more efficient than they used to be, but they're still not great. I've got some ideas to improve them, though, which I'm working on implementing into my regular solving. With all your multi/big cube/square-1 madness I imagine you'll find it to be relatively straightforward to do. I can see you definitely beating my 26 minutes with one of your first couple or first few attempts. I still feel like I have to be very careful about it. It took me those 5 DNFs before I remembered everything about my approach, and to brush off enough rust to get a successful solve. I can't wait to see what kinds of times you'll get with it, and I'll try to set one halfway decent time to give you a little bit of a challenge at least :p

Doing every event I have except 5x5 BLD.

2x2x2: 7.36, DNF (8.44), 7.13, 8.06, (6.85) = 7.52
3x3x3: 22.70, (23.00), 22.53, (22.39), 22.40 = 22.54 :D
Most consistent average ever. Came after a 28.xx average of 12 somehow...
4x4x4: 2:01.60, (1:51.82), (2:17.19), 1:58.56, 1:59.03 = 1:59.73 :D PB
5x5x5: 2:37.40, 2:35.19, (2:27.34), 2:45.17, (2:54.02) = 2:39.25 :D PB
6x6x6: (4:05.67), 4:26.40, 4:36.15, (4:42.80), 4:10.40 = 4:24.31 :D
7x7x7: 6:36.99, (6:25.85), 6:34.45, 6:40.42, (6:49.18) = 6:37.29 :D PB
Okay so I’d only ever had 2 sub7s before... PB average by 40 seconds!
Well 3x3 through 7x7 were all really really good (for me) this week
2x2x2 Blindfolded: 1:44.41, 59.00, 58.05 = 58.05
3x3x3 Blindfolded: 5:24.40, 5:38.85, DNF (5:27.33) = 5:24.40 PB
Memo is getting easier and I can’t remember it after I finish, whereas I could usually remember for days when I first started BLD, so I must be doing it more efficiently. I’d rather be accurate than fast (for now).
4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF (1:16:43.12 [56:xx]), 55:31.85 [40.xx], DNF (49:24.76 [35.xx]) = 55:31.85 :D PB
First 3 attempts ever. First: corners and centres went okay but messed up set-up moves with edges.
Second: FIRST SUCCESS!!! Despite mis-memorizing 6 words during edges and having to erase that from my memo, I did it! :D :D :D
Third: Long memo pause on centers, like 3 min, finally figured it out, but then messed up some set-up moves.
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 1/2 in 16:22.81 [10:xx]
Two flipped edges on the second :mad: So close. Starting to do way more BLD and its showing in my memo time.
3x3x3 One Handed: 1:23.32, 1:06.80, (1:03.23), 1:17.33, (1:26.31) = 1:15.82
3x3x3 With Feet: (5:02.06), 4:03.97, 4:18.18, 4:42.70, (3:56.79) = 4:21.62 PB
All had Y perm
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:19.26, 1:38.72, (1:39.82), (1:14.38), 1:15.80 = 1:24.59
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: 2:34.00 PB
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay: 5:18.68 :D PB
Last week I was happy to get a PB at 6:00... this is simply stunning for me
Megaminx: 3:08.90, (3:31.75), 3:22.25, 3:15.58, (2:59.54) = 3:15.58 PB
Pyraminx: 10.81, 8.53, (11.50), (5.65), 11.31 = 10.22
Square-1: 2:00.57, 3:28.20, (1:46.04+), 2:53.04, (5:22.09) = 2:47.27
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 48 :(

2x2x2: D L’ D’ U L ; (5/13)
2x2x3: D’ R2 D R2 D’ R’ D ; (7/20)
