Weekly competition 2010-51

3x3x3: (1:24.11) (1:44.06) 1:42.07 1:25.71 1:29.25 = 1:38.46

I'm usually faster, but my cube kept locking up.
 
Mats B

3x3: 45.40, 39.17, 48.76, 45.81, 45.54 = 45.58

2x2BLD: dnf, 50.51, dnf = 50.51 Oh so bad. Just couldn't get it right.
3x3BLD: 1:59.92, dnf, dnf = 1:59.92 Barely sub 2. Only one ok. Nah...
4x4BLD: 7:40.51, 10:14.34, dnf = 7:40.51 Ok, but the second took ages.
Like Mike said, memory refused to work. Last one was fast and close, but I don't remember
it as easy as Mike says.
5x5BLD: dnf, dnf, 20:30 = 20:30 Had to make a safe third one.
Multi: 9/10 = 8 in 60:00, memo 41:55.
Oooh, so close. With 10-15 seconds more time I would have made it. I just started
the parity alg (which I do last) on the last cube when the timer went off.

4x4 BLD: 8:52.97, DNF (7:50), 7:46.23 = 7:46.23 - Sub-8 nl!
You've got to be kidding me :p

So I got curious, and I went back and rescrambled. It took me a while to remember how I had it oriented (I was eventually able to remember the whole memo), but after I did, I realized that when I counted, I combined the centers count for a different solve with the edges for this solve. My actual count was just 12 pieces solved - 9 centers and 3 edges. So that's 12/56 = 21.42%, so only slightly lucky. (The edges were a single cycle, though, which made it even nicer.) (I was happy to confirm that I did not scramble incorrectly - I was afraid I might have!)

And keep in mind that whether or not a solve is lucky is entirely dependent on the orientation you choose, so it might not have been lucky for Simon, even if it was lucky for me.

Yeah, you are right. I just assumed he used the same orientation as me :p.

Also, when I read through your post just before doing the 3rd solve, Mike, you kind of spoiled the 3rd scramble a bit :/ I'd say it would be better if you put it into a spoiler next time when you say something about the scramble.

(When I read aronpm's reconstruction I unfortunately saw what he used for reorienting, but that was not that much of a problem because I just threw the cube up in the air after scrambling.)

You're right. I thought about the fact that I was going to put that in a spoiler, and then I forgot about it when I actually posted. Sorry.

Kept popping in exec on the last scramble. Memo was 1:35. Didn't bother with the 2nd one once I'd seen the scramble.

It was just a linear Fridrich speedsolve because I couldn't be bothered to do a proper one.
