Weekly competition 2010-49

Pyraminx: 4.41, 8.08, 7.38, 8.14, 9.35 = 7.86
Comment: Good single, rather bad average.
3x3x3: 13.26, 16.35, 13.75, 14.64, 14.93 = 14.44
Comment: Ok! :)
2x2x2: 3.23, 3.94, 6.09, 5.42, 5.86 = 5.07

Mike's OHITA progression^^

This is good, Mike! Keep it up. :)
Wow, thanks for that! A pity I seem to have leveled off lately. I'll have to work on that.

I should really get a StackMat Timer again.
I should really get a Magic again.

Both of the above need to happen. :p
Very true.

I like seeing your times improve. The event is really fun. :) (and doesn't break one's magic as often as normal solving :p )

Very true.
I'm sure I can sub4 single and sub5 average fairly consistently. Hrm, time to check out lightake!
I'll have to start practicing Patrick's old method to see if I can become half-decent at that as well. I just really don't like his little 'flip.'

OH: 28.75, 28.57, (29.50), 27.95, (25.49) = 28.42
Feet: 1:21.01, (1:15.96), 1:25.46, (1:27.94), 1:18.07 = 1:21.51
MTS: (41.95), 46.52, 46.44, (46.88), 45.82+ = 46.26

Clock: 7.46, (7.95), 7.38, 7.95, (7.01) = 7.60 All 7s :)
Megaminx: 1:38.60, 1:35.69, (1:42.20), (1:35.41), 1:41.40 = 1:38.56
Pyraminx: 7.19, 6.49, (7.25), (5.72), 6.75 = 6.81
Square-1: 29.20, 26.92, (31.57), 31.10, (25.42) = 29.07
FMC: 32 moves F D F D' F D F D2 L B L' F' L B' L' D F D' R' D2 R L U' F U F2 B2 D' R D B U'
Inverse Scramble: F L F B' R' F U F' B' D' B2 U' D' F' B' U2 F' U'
2x2x2: U B' D' R' D B2 (6)
2x2x3: F2 U' F' U L' (11)
EO: R' D2 R (14)
F2L-1: D F' D' F D (19)
Switch to normal scramble (PM: D' F' D F D' R' D2 R L U' F U F2 B2 D' R D B U' then normal scramble: U F U2 B F D U B2 D B F U' F' R B F' L' F')
Leave 3 corners: F D F D' F D F D' (27)
One premove cancels giving the solution so far as: F D F D' F D F D2 F'* D F D' R' D2 R L U' F U F2 B2 D' R D B U' (26)
Insert at * F L B L' F' L B' L' to cancel 2 moves
I got a 35 move linear solve off the inverse scramble, so this feels pretty bad :(
 
The event is really fun.
I agree. I kind of hated to switch to normal solving for the Christmas Competition. (But I did, because I didn't want to take the hit to my ranking by not doing so.)

I'm sure I can sub4 single and sub5 average fairly consistently.
Wow, that's a mind-boggling time for me. Can you do that BLD? I find that BLD adds about a second (because I have to feel for the pieces to flip them at the end - it's a little slower for me).
 
So little time...

3x3x3: 20.05, (23.48), 22.50, (19.27), 21.59 = 21.38 - average
3x3x3 BLD: 5:18.53, 5:19.27, 5:22.58 = 5:18.53 - concentration on accuracy now, really consistent :D
2x2x2: (2.84), 4.85, 6.19, 3.73, (9.25) = 4.92 - wow

Ha, I'm not sure what I'll do for the Christmas Competition.

BLD doesn't seem to add time for me, unless I add the useless flip in the middle.
This is usually how my OHITA sessions go for me, featuring a 4.61 and a 4.59.
Here was a decent average from me back when I practiced it: 6.42 average

2x2BLD: 52.10, 61.17, 47.46 = 47.46 so slow
3x3BLD: 1:48.33, 1:53.04, dnf = 1:48.33 ok
4x4BLD: 9:15.00, dnf, 8:09.88 = 8:09.88 a little slow
5x5BLD: dnf, dnf, dnf = DNF close does not count
Multi: 5/5 = 5 in 27:57 (memo 19:55)
I only have five cubes at home right now :)
Tried to go fast but did not succeed as the scrambles were hard (I think).

3x3: 52.10, 38.11, 37.59, 45.39, 41.52 = 41.67 normal

Under the new rules, that would be a 6.28 average (no +2).

It's interesting to watch how you do it. Definitely different from how I do it. And it's harder for me to follow it because you're doing it right-handed (I do it left-handed, which is probably really silly, since I'm right-handed, but I got used to doing 3x3x3 left-handed, so I naturally went that way.)

Hey, I got a sub-10 average again for week 50!

@Mats: That's still a pretty nice result for multi.
 
This week Simon is dethroned thanks to faz doing big bld :)
Congrats faz! Daniel is as usual very close behind and from
Norway can be seen another pretender! Come on Morten!

Edit: Some late results changes the order at the top.

Under the new rules, that would be a 6.28 average (no +2).

It's interesting to watch how you do it. Definitely different from how I do it. And it's harder for me to follow it because you're doing it right-handed (I do it left-handed, which is probably really silly, since I'm right-handed, but I got used to doing 3x3x3 left-handed, so I naturally went that way.)

Hey, I got a sub-10 average again for week 50!

@Mats: That's still a pretty nice result for multi.
Yay for sub10! Keep going! I'm sure you can at least sub8 if you work on being precise and maybe revising your method?

Once I get a magic and get back into it, I shall explore methods myself.

only getting slower and slower and spending less and less time cubing every week.
You would think that someone that is on a "permant vacation" would spend some more time on his biggest hobby
