FMC:

Scramble: U2 F R D' F' L2 U R U' L D' L2 F' R2 D F L D'
Solution: B' R D' R D' B R' F' R B' R' F D' B' D2 B' F2 D' B2 D F' B D2 U' B2 R' F (27)

I used inverse scramble with premove B, and for that the solution is:
F' R B2 U D2 B' F D' B2 D F2 B D2 B D F' R B R' F R B' D R' D R'

I will add explanations later. Very happy with this :)

Wow, nice job. I'm really looking forward to the explanations :).
 
2x2x2: 4.82, 7.26, 6.12, 5.00, 5.34 = 5.49
3x3x3: 19.87, 20.22, 22.89, 18.36, 19.55 = 19.88 (meh)
4x4x4: 1:36.59, 1:37.94, 1:33.18, 1:27.57, 1:47.27 = 1:35.90

Pyraminx: 11.39, 15.90 (yuck), 7.68, 13.63, 16.68 (yuck....er) = 13.64
Square-1: 54.47, 46.43, 28.62, 39.43, 36.66 = 40.84 (STUPID SUP-50!!!)
 
2x2x2
(6.21), (8.40), 6.74, 8.03, 8.22
Average of 5: 7.66
Ehh alright xD

3x3x3
19.49, 19.34, (21.58), (18.17), 20.99
Average of 5: 19.94
Haven't done one of these in awhile. Pretty good since I don't practice so much anymore (:

3x3x3 OH
39.98, 44.12, (34.81), (44.60), 38.96
Average of 5: 41.02
Really good (: All sub45. Probably because I actually knew all the PLLs I got but 1. XD Gotten a bit better since I do OH at school XD

Magic
(1.46), 1.46, 1.39, (1.38), 1.40
Average of 5: 1.42
Wow :O I can't believe I got such great times. xD I guess those random magic solves during school help xP

I knew it was going to happen. Can't wait to see the result. :) I can just aim for second place now.

I usually video tape my biggest attempt, so I could know where I was at 1h if I bust. Otherwise I use an online alarm, there are many out there.

Well said. Rafal winning Euro2010 with a new European Record is at the top of the picture. I'm 3rd with the result at the bottom. I have no idea how to deal with pictures on here, but hopefully this will work.

Daaaang...

Maybe if you are unsure, you should do an L2 or R2 at the end of the solve, because then it will be a +2 and not a DNF, even if it was an M2 off or not.
 
3x3x3 15.97, 17.06, 14.05, 15.15, 27.78 = 16.06
Could have been sub 16 is there wasn’t a pop in the last solve
3x3x3 OH 34.13, 33.16, 42.02, 33.61, 34.21 = 33.98
Megaminx 1:18.59, 1:31.61, 1:18.56, 1:16.13, 1:34.44 = 1:22.92

oh yeah, thanks for reminding :P

Inverse scramble with premove = B D L' F' D' R2 F L2 D L' U R' U' L2 F D R' F' U2

2x2x2: F' R B2 U (4/4)
2x2x3: D2 B' * D' B2 D (5/9)
EO: F' B D2 B (4/13)
Solve remaining edges: D . R D R' D R' (6/19)

* = F D' B2 D F' D' B2 D
. = F' R B R' F R B' R'

7 moves to insert a 5-cycle, I say that's pretty good :P
 
2x2: dnf 15.65 18.65 22.00 10.68 = 18.77
3x3: 46.32 58.54 71.32 40.33 43.58 = 49.48 sigh
4x4:2:55.75 2:36.54 2:45.63 2:47.27 3:33.24 = 2:49.55
5x5: 8:15.16 6:19.40 6:43.61 5:30.42 5:40.41 = 6:14.47

2-4Rel: 6:30.76 the 4x4 took 5:40 or so
2-5Rel: 12:03.33 sigh

bld
2x2BLD: dnf 34.01 35.19 = 34.01
3x3BLD: 2:10.17 2:29.92 dnf = 2:10.17
Bad, but I had to borrow a very stiff cube.
I had to concentrate on the actual turning, not the solve (bad excuses :))
4x4BLD: 7:41.08 dnf 8:05.10 = 7:41.08 at least sub-8
5x5BLD: dnf 19:26 dnf = 19:26 ok
Multi: 9/9 = 9 52:09, memo 37:11. Easy memo for some reason.
Still the solves had their fair share of twists and flips and parities, so not the easiest scrambles ever.
I actually beat Micael (on time), but it does not feel that way. If I don't think or count I somehow consider
his 12/15 way better than my 9/9. Anyway I'm happy with the result. With eight minutes to spare I have
room for a tenth cube.

My non-BLD event of the week:
5x5x5: 2:23.16, 2:51.57, 2:38.51, 2:27.19, 2:38.56 = 2:34.75
Comment: I guess it’s not too bad considering I’ve not practiced it in weeks.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 31.07, 27.58, 31.53 = 27.58
3x3x3 BLD: 2:58.93, 1:42.75, 2:10.86 = 1:42.75
Comment: Bad memory recall pauses.
4x4x4 BLD: 6:38.46 [3:29], DNF [8:46.78, 4:09], DNF [8:39.13, 4:29] = 6:38.46
Comment: Again one good solve and the other two were terrible. The second one was off by 2 centers; the third was off by 3 corners.
5x5x5 BLD: 15:10.82 [8:21], 13:55.97 [7:07], DNF [17:30.27, 9:37] = 13:55.97
Comment: No reorient on either of the first two. Third one was off by 6 X centers.
6x6x6 BLD: 28:27.47 [12:58], DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS = DNF
Comment: The memo on this was totally wonderful; it's a pity the execution was so slow. I had a couple of places where I made mistakes and had to undo commutators, I almost popped twice, and it didn't help that I had 2 parities (corners and one set of wings). As it is, this was 7 seconds slower than my previous PB.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 2/3 = 1 point, 8:38.76 [5:15]
Comment: Third cube was off by 4 corners – I skipped a piece while memorizing (I saw it, but forgot to add it to the memorization).

And non-BLD events done BLD:
2x2x2: 32.51, 31.30, 29.54, 36.47, 29.54 = 31.12
3x3x3: 1:35.69, 1:10.81, 1:44.27, 1:30.54, 1:39.82 = 1:35.35
3x3x3 OH: DNF [2:17.49], 3:03.69, 2:52.97, 3:24.68, 2:49.83 = 3:07.11
Comment: At last I got an average! First one had just 2 edges flipped.
Magic: 10.69, 16.44, 12.55, 11.19, 9.53 = 11.48
Comment: OHITABLD, of course.
Master Magic: 4.27, 5.09, 4.50, 4.69, 3.97 = 4.49
Clock: 2:01.66 [0:26], 2:04.88 [0:35], 2:35.66 [0:29], 2:08.36 [0:31], 1:47.46 [0:29] = 2:04.97
Pyraminx: DNF [1:43.80], 1:51.40, 41.30, DNF [1:13.15], 1:08.31 = DNF
Comment: Bad. First one off by 3 edges (cycled wrong direction). Fourth one had 2 edges flipped.
Square-1: 4:47.55 [2:38], 5:12.41 [2:53], 5:23.81 [3:01], 7:02.55 [3:47], 4:17.63 [2:21] = 5:07.92
Comment: It’s still nice to get them all successfully.

Wow, your accuracy is just crazy! o_O
 
2x2: 6.88 4.61 4.84 5.16 5.86
3x3: 14.15 12.34 20.30 14.40 11.88 = 13.63
11.88 was PLL skip, rest were just wow. 20.30 had 8 F2L then pop (iirc). PB :D
4x4: 1:38.30 PP 1:25.86 1:17.84 1:45.94 DP 1:37.11 DP
Horrid. Timed DP, it took 13s :s
5x5: 3:03.93 2:32.59 2:34.69 2:49.63 2:43.36
First was redux. I've done so much redux since switching back, but I'm not improving. I don't care if people say yau is slow on 5x5, it's more fun for me, and faster.
2x2 BLD: 59.19 39.65 45.37+
Wow, first two were Old Poch., last Ortega. 39.65 Old Poch. o.O
3x3 BLD: DNF(25s, corners were horribly hard) DNF(5:45 4 twisted corners...) DNF(4:54 screwed up some setups in M2)
Very bad, but I guess, all M2 practise is good practise :P Sighted my M2 edges are like 25s, with blindfold on, they're 2+m.
4x4 BLD: DNF(2:00) DNF (28:00, 2 dedges :'()
3x3 Multi: 2/2 18:00
Kept getting distracted. I must say that I read the newspaper article in front of me so many times subconsciously, that I think I'd be able to recite it. Very comfortable success, remembered everything clearly even 30 minutes later (now). One minor mistake, sending to UB rather than BU, but after 3/4 moves of the Jperm I realised, so finished the Jperm, undid (by doing another) then sent to the right target. I think I was right using Old Poch. rather than M2. Used Routes on one cube (corners took up only 1.5 locations! Used my usual memo method for the other on safe solves, which is, story edges (or rather, random phrases) then audio corners. I executed a 2 flip of edges, and a 2twist of corners on the other cube straight away, to stop me forgetting. Very happy with this :)
3x3 OH: 31.25 33.61 37.61 35.41 27.09
Guhong's too big, but only cube I had with me. Also, was freezing.
3x3 WF: 2:57.50 2:49.25+ 3:11.59+ 2:59.31+ 3:03.21
First was ZBLL. **** this event is annoying to do, especially when my dogs trying to lick my feet :P
3x3 MTS: 1:41.02 1:22.15 1:24.24 1:54.78 1:45.64
Wow, this was great.
3x3 FMC: 35 HTM R' D F' L' F' L R2 U2 F D' F' U2 F D F R' U' B U B' U2 F U D' F U' F' D F2 U F' U' L' U' L
NISS solve.
Normal Scramble: R' D F' L' F' L R2 F2 R' U' B U B' U2 F U F (17)
Apply F' U' F' U2 B U' B' U R F2 R2 L' F L F D' R as premoves to inverse.
Inverse scramble: L' U L
Now I can either do a 3 edge cycle, then a 3 corner cycle, so I'd be finished with 20 move skeleton. However, I suck at edge insertions, so instead I reduced to 5 corners: U F U' F'
Now I only had a few minutes left (5~) so I felt I didn't have time to look for two insertions. So instead, I just did a 3 corner cycle to make it just 3 corners left. I made sure to do it so there were moves cancelled: F' D' F U F' D F
So my skeleton was (inverse scramble): L' U L U F U' F' F' D' F U F' D F F' U' F' U2 B U' B' U R F2 * R2 L' F L F D' R
Insert at *: F D' F' U2 F D F' U2
4 moves cancelled.
Final solution:
R' D F' L' F' L R2 U2 F D' F' U2 F D F R' U' B U B' U2 F U D' F U' F' D F2 U F' U' L' U' L 35 HTM
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 Relay: 1:56.56 DP
4x4 was awesome. 2x2 was like, 15 >_<
2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5 Relay: 5:06.36 DP
Why in relays, am I this much slower :(
Master Magic: 5.88 5.52 5.69 5.71 7.69
It's been folded in a bag for a few weeks (except when using for last weekly) and it's showing. After the twist, flipping the twist down is taking me over a second. It's quite annoying :( I have to do it manually with my other hand, whereas, it use to automatically.
Megaminx: 3:30.90 3:54.09 3:50.09 4:06.50 4:59.43
Last two solves were racing against my Dad (him doing 3x3), in bad lighting :(
Pyraminx: 5.13 6.84 5.78 7.58 6.86
Good.
Square-1: 50.38 51.44 1:10.27 1:24.44 47.61
Wtf? Bizarre. I had parity on the 50, 51 and 47, and no parity on the 1:10 or 1:24. I take 15s~ for parity so it would've made sense the other way round. Very strange.

I consider it early preparation for that big relay I want to do someday. (Probably at least a year away, but hey, I've gotta be ready, right?) The biggest thing I need to work on before I try that is megaminx, though; perhaps I'll work on it after Dayton.

(Oh, and nice job on that really fast multi. Good to see you've still got it!)
 
3x3x3BLD: DNF 2:03.18 DNF

2x2x2: R F B2 L' U' B2
2x2x3: R' F2 U' F'

F2L minus 1 pair: R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2
last pair, leaving 3 corners: U' R' U R2 U' R2 U
Solve last 3 corners: D B' D' F D B D' F' R

Petrich solve, not my best. Better than not FMC'ing at all at least.
Done BLD
