You have to give your solution too. Isn't that pretty obvious?

You know what, I'll just delete that result rather than post the solution. It would be humiliating. Plus I'm not entirely sure where I put it, if I even wrote it down at all.

Feel free to facepalm now.

5x5: (2:50.46), (3:44.09(pop)), 3:31.19, 3:12.90, 3:18.58 = 3:20.89
Comment: Almost new PB avg, new PB single.
6x6: 8:14.18, 7:58.22, (9:19.56), (7:56.56), 8:07.86 = 8:06.75
Comment: Fail third solve, pretty happy with it otherwise.
7x7: (17:12.16(PLL skip)), 15:02.20, 16:05.81, 15:17.72, (14:15.44) = 15:28.58
Comment: Before this, my PB was 23 minutes... Solves 1, 2 and 5 were PBs.
2x2 BLD: 27.00+, DNF(19.81), DNF(29.44) = 27.00
Comment: Bad scrambles.
3x3 BLD: DNF(15:38.54), DNF(18:36.27), DNS = DNF
Comment: First one was off by 2 edges 4 corners, second was way off. I've still never had a success. I fail at BLD.
3x3 OH: (DNF(35.94)), 33.05, 34.46, (31.53), 43.55 = 37.02
Comment: Stupid DNF (cube touched my other hand). Would've been such a good avg...
3x3 WF: (DNF(27.84)), 3:23.21, 4:14.55, (2:59.25), 4:10.61 = 3:56.12
Comment: The DNF was because I realised I had to inspect with feet, #2 and #4 were PBs.

Comment: Sub-OcR, but I'm not sure about the last solve. Two tiles were sticking up about 45 degrees. Does it still count?

Square-1: 1:30.08, (1:22.55), 1:30.28, (1:54.56), 1:24.02 = 1:28.13
Comment: I think I'm getting worse...
Clock: 43.50, 43.31, (DNF(43.71)), 45.36, (34.91) = 44.06
Comment: Good, I'm just happy that I didn't get a DNF average.

I entered everything I could do this week (plus 3x3 BLD), and I'm very happy with most of my results.

Just a question, is it okay if I do one event on two different days? eg: Doing the first 6x6 solve today, and the rest tomorrow?

ARGH on first 4x4 bld...fastest attempt by like 2 minutes and off by 4-cycle of wings. Meaning I definitely screwed up memo, since I didn't see any parity...That was definitely one of the smoothest memos I can remember, 1:30 centers, 2:00 wings, :30 corners, :20 reviewing. I never do 2:00 wings...looks like there's a reason for that, lol.

Writing your results like this will more than likely mess up the system.

I suggest you edit your post to just contain the final results and then give us the extra info in comments. Like this:

2x2x2. (13.34) (7.75) 12.19 10.05 8.19 = 10.14
Last two solves were +2s

Or you could just append a + symbol to the end of the final time, this is a standard way of notating it. Like this:

2x2x2. (13.34) (7.75) 12.19 10.05+ 8.19+ = 10.14
Yeh, 2 x 2+
