Comment: That was really dumb... not only did I do badly compared to the times I have gotten recently, but also the single and average just had to tie my competition PBs exactly

[Mike Hughey]

Mike Hughey:

My non-BLD event of the week:
5x5x5: 2:38.58, 3:00.72, 3:01.38, 3:08.34, 2:57.88 = 2:59.99
Comment: I’ve gotten hooked again on 5x5x5. I have a new goal: to be as good with the bigcubes.com method as I am with AVG. I’m making good progress – this is my first sub-3 average of 5! (Admittedly, it’s barely sub-3, but still!)

The BLD events:
2x2x2 BLD: 34.59, DNF [28.22], 24.91 = 24.91
3x3x3 BLD: 1:53.34, 3:07.84, 1:55.71 = 1:53.34
Comment: Bad. On the second one I took a very long time to recall an image.
4x4x4 BLD: DNF [7:36.56, 3:39], 7:45.94 [3:25], 7:31.93 [3:01] = 7:31.93
Comment: First one off by 2 X centers; this is the first time I remember having two pieces to swap and using a piece that wasn’t solved yet as my third piece for the commutator – very stupid. I had a big memo recall pause on the second one – it might have been sub-7 otherwise. I had real trouble with some of the BH wing cases on the third one. I’m still in transition to BH wings; I really need to spend some serious time practicing the cases.
5x5x5 BLD: 17:39.58 [8:22], DNF [16:11.17, 6:39], 18:25.23 [9:48] = 17:39.58
Comment: Congratulations, Mats, you beat me this week. Second one was off by 4 wings; I still don’t understand what went wrong with them. That second one was a really weird solve – it was very easy, but I popped twice and had big recall delays during the wings.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 1/3 = DNF [8:51.25, 4:35]
Comment: Second one had 2 edges flipped because I didn’t see one of the flipped edges. Third one had 3 corners wrong – I memorized correctly, but recalled the wrong image.

And non-BLD events done BLD:
2x2x2: 28.06, 33.22, 23.93, 26.52, 25.02 = 26.53
Comment: Nice average.
3x3x3: 1:09.15, DNF [1:36.68], DNF [1:48.81], 1:55.91, 1:51.31 = DNF
Comment: Bad overall result, but that first solve was nice! Second one off by 3 edges, third one off by 2 edges flipped.
Magic: 9.53, 10.00, 9.75, 16.59, 9.00 = 9.76
Comment: OHITABLD, of course.
Master Magic: 5.52, 4.08, 5.55, 4.19, 4.80 = 4.84
Clock: 1:52.27 [0:29], 1:38.30 [0:23], DNF [2:13.96, 0:35], 1:48.13 [0:24], 2:22.93 [0:35] = 2:01.11
Comment: Third one was two turns from solved.
Pyraminx: DNF [1:16.81], 1:44.41, 44.53, DNF [1:25.09], 1:13.47 = DNF
Comment: First and fourth solves had 2 edges flipped.
Square-1: 5:33.66 [5:31.66 + 2 = 5:33.66] [3:11], 4:56.18 [2:53], 5:05.72 [2:38], 5:02.47 [2:46], 2:51.41 [1:06] = 5:01.46
Comment: Cases QS, QV, KA, KC, WW. On the first one I did an extra U at the end because I forgot which parity I had just done. The fifth one was already square – nice!

 

[pvtparts]

2x2x2: 9.28, 7.97, 10.94, 8.85, 13.62 (Result of a +2) = 9.96
Comment: I wanted to be sub-10 by the end of the year, so I'm happy.

 

[RCTACameron]

Apart from my terrible 2x2 and 4x4 times (both of which I 'accidentally' deleted), this has been an insanely good week for me.


2x2 BLD: 18.97+ , DNF (26.13), 17.30 = 17.30
Comment: Getting faster.

3x3: 14.53, 14.72, (13.47), 16.88, (17.08) = 15.38
Comment: Not so good at the end, but still an awesome avg with a good single.

3x3 OH: (31.50), 36.72, (37.93), 36.63, 34.05 = 35.80
Comment: Better than before, but not that exciting.

5x5: 3:20.27, (3:03.66), (3:33.55), 3:06.22, 3:29.69 = 3:18.73
Comment: No sub-3s, but new avg PB!

2+3+4 Relay: 2:04.34
Comment: Fail 2x2 and 3x3, 4x4 was good until I did OLL parity twice. :fp Just wanted to do another event.

Pyraminx: 15.19, (15.81), 9.47, 9.77, (7.88) = 11.48
Comment: These scrambles are harder than the easy qqTimer ones, so I didn't do that well.

Square-1: 1:27.00, 1:11.36, (DNF), 1:02.59, (1:00.08) = 1:13.65
Comment: I still can't get sub-1. :fp New avg PB, though.
On the third solve, I couldn't get the scramble right, so I just did a DNF. Was I supposed to?

Magic: 1.36, (5.44), 1.25, (1.21), 1.33 = 1.31
Comment: I was nervous after the second solve, but the avg turned out great. Going slow = good times.

Master Magic: (3.36), 3.40, 3.71, (5.34), 4.47 = 3.86
Comment: Soooooooo good at the start, and a sub-4 avg.
