3x3: 10.17, (10.16), 10.34, (DNF), 11.42 = 10.65 DNF was 10.11 2 moves off.
4x4: (44.95), 46.31, 51.97, 52.41, (55.15) = 50.23 I hate hate hate low 50 avgs.
2x2: (2.69+), 4.55, (DNF(2.39)), 3.02, 4.49 = 4.02 pathetic...
OH: 17.24, (15.77), 22.51, 21.13, (25.57) = 20.29 I hate hate hate low 20 avgs. POP on the 3rd.
3x3 BLD: 1:29.47, 53.96, DNF = 53.96 2nd best time ever
4x4 BLD: DNF, DNS, DNS
2x2 BLD: 18.96, DNF, DNF = 18.96
5x5: (1:35.45), 1:32.64, 1:27.63, (1:25.74), 1:33.93 = 1:31.40 Nice. +2 on the last one :/
FMC: 28 moves

Scramble: B L2 U' R D B R U B U' F L2 F R2 B U F2 R
Solution:
x2 B' R2 F2 R D F' D2 (7/7) 2x2x3
B' U' B2 (3/10) F2L minus one edge and pair
F R' B' R' F' B U' B U B' (10/20) leave 3 corners
L' D L U2 L' D' L U2 (8/28) last 3 corners commutator

Amazing solve for me. Old PB was 35 Unfortunately I do not know how to use insertions (well, I did one but it didn't save any moves...) I didn't bother to learn insertions because hadn't ever used l3c comms in FMC before. Oh well, still a sub-30

Magic: 1.81, (1.27), 2.52, (DNF), 2.52 = 2.28 Insanely good.
Master Magic: 4.15, 4.28, 5.88, (DNF), (3.55) = 4.77 This is amazing.
Square-1: 32.15, 34.77, (DNF), (31.93), 1:08.41 = 45.11 Last solve is a PB.
7x7: 4:58.75, DNS, DNS, DNS, DNS

I'm still wondering if skewb will be added soon. Perhaps he start of nex year

Since I just took over for Arnaud, I'm a little hesitant to quickly make changes to the format of the weekly competition. I suppose we could consider some minor changes for next year, if multiple people are interested.

how can you be so good at 3x3 and so not that good on the two handed solves
to forte

 

[Yes We Can!]

Sometimes members do sighted events blindfolded. Maybe that's what he did.
E.g.: You participate in 3x3 but you do it as a blindfolded event.
Also have a look at his WCA profile, his normal times are much faster.
