FMC: 43 moves HTM

Spoiler

L F2 U' F # L F2 cross 6 - 6
B' D B D' L' B2 L B2 L' B L B L B2 L' B L B' L' F2L- 1 slot 19 - 25
R B2 R' B2 R B' R' F2L 7 - 32
R D L' D' R' D L D Chameleon 8 - 40
B to leave three corners 1 - 41
cancel two moves = 39
at # insert F'U B U'F U B' U' to cancel 4 moves = 43 moves

Final solution:
L F2 U'F F'U B U' F U B' U' L F2 B' D B D' L' B2 L B2 L' B L B L B2 L' B L B' L' R B2 R' B2 R B' R' R D L' D' R' D L D' B

Even with al the 2x1 blocks I could not get a decent BB start so switched to CFOP...
Yellow cross was too obvious so went for the green one instead.
Very happy with my first insertion with cancelled moves: four moves!

Using a 413 image system for corners, not too used to it yet so times are slow. Dunno why so inaccurate though :/

Square-1: (39.53), (18.44), 22.00, 20.32, 32.91 = 25.08

Nice job! Amazing, how you are constantly sub-30 with CF! You have a reserved spot at Hungarian Open 2010 for FMC.

[Mike Hughey]

Mike Hughey:

My non-BLD event of the week:
MegaMinx: 3:36.19, 3:04.59, 2:58.21, 3:02.55, 3:09.69 = 3:05.61
Comment: I’m badly out of practice, so I thought I’d do megaminx this week as a warmup for the Christmas Competition. I’m still a little rusty, I’m afraid.

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 40.13, 27.36, 33.28 = 27.36
3x3x3 BLD: 1:44.52, 1:26.08, 2:05.53 = 1:26.08
4x4x4 BLD: 8:54.36 [4:06], 7:39.01 [4:04], 7:51.05 [3:54] = 7:39.01
Comment: It figures I’d miss all of them last week and then get them all this week – why couldn’t they have been a little more mixed up? On the first one, I couldn’t remember the BH wings case for Speffz KTM (I’ve learned it now), but for all other wings I used BH algs. I’m happy with how it’s speeding up.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [19:43.57, 11:40], 21:21.55 [11:46], DNF [15:40.90, 7:09] = 21:21.55
Comment: Ugh. My memory wasn’t working very well that day – too little sleep. After I got the successful solve on the second one, I forced myself to go fast, and it was much better. First one was off by 2 X centers – I memorized K instead of J. Third one was off by 3 wings – I memorized W instead of X.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 2/3 = 1 point, 10:18.25 [5:25]
Comment: Awful again. First cube off by 3 edges – I remembered C instead of P for the last piece – I memorized correctly, but recalled incorrectly.

And non-BLD events done BLD:
2x2x2: DNF [32.27], 29.41, 25.75, 34.13, 38.68 = 34.07
3x3x3: 1:55.80, 1:53.21, 2:03.22, 2:09.36, 1:30.65 = 1:57.41
Magic: 16.11, 10.55, 12.56, 8.96, 10.21 = 11.11
Comment: OHITABLD, of course.
Master Magic: 4.58, 4.09, 4.33, 4.59, 4.19 = 4.37
Clock: 2:00.08 [0:23], DNF [1:43.91, 0:26], 2:09.93 [0:29], 2:29.00 [0:29], 1:57.81 [0:30] = 2:13.00
Pyraminx: 50.43, 1:07.53, DNF [46.53], 52.69, 1:03.94 [1:01.94 + 2 = 1:03.94] = 1:01.39
Comment: Aww, it could have been sub-minute if it weren’t for the DNF. Off by 3 edges because, although I memorized it correctly, I thought I had visual memory that disagreed with my letters, so I went with the visual. It turns out the letters were correct.
Square-1: 5:53.42 [3:05], 7:29.41 [5:30], 4:58.13 [2:58], 5:14.31 [3:06], 5:09.30 [3:00] = 5:25.68
Comment: Cases IA, NN, SW, PP, RQ. Two of these were new success cases for me – I’ve now had successes with 70 of the 90 possible shapes.
