Steady decline :(. Obviously need practice, which I will not :)

2x2BLD: 30.73, 24.49, 39.91 = 24.49 good
3x3BLD: 1:42.34, 2:06.98, dnf = 1:42.34 ok
4x4BLD: dnf, 6:55.85, 7:20.74 = 6:55.85 good
Was almost beginning to doubt my ability to do fast 4BLD.
5x5BLD: dnf, 16:28, dnf = 16:28 rather good, if only one of them
6x6BLD: dnf = dnf a pity. I think I made only one error, mixing up the left slices in a comm.
7x7BLD: dnf = dnf Just plain bad.
Multi: 5/8 = 2 in 41:59, memo 25:30. Tried to go fast and skip repetition, it almost worked.

FMC: 37 HTM

First attempt left me with 5 corners that required three cycles to solve...
When trying to find a better solution after the competition solve I found (via a completely different route) into an identical situation.
One twisted corner and two pairs of corners that required swapping.

Alternative solution:
D L’ B’ F’ U R 2x2x2 6 - 6
F2 L’ D’ L 2X2x3 10 - 10
F L D’ L’ F2 R F R’ L D’ L’ D F2L-slot 12 - 22
D’ F D cancel two moves and leave 5 corners 1 - 23

# D L’ B’ F’ @ U R F2 L’ D’ L F L D’ L’ F2 R F R’ L D’ L’ D D’ F D
At # insert F2 R B R’ F2 R B’ R’
At @ insert F U F’ D’ F U’ F’ D to cancel two moves

F2 R B R' F2 R B' R' D L' B' U F' D' F U' F' D U R F2 L' D' L F L D' L' F2 R F R' L D' L' F D= 37 HTM

Multi BLD: 0/8 43:00 gave up, could hardly remember anything, tried 5 cubes and only felt secure on 1 of them. bleh.

Solution: L D' F U' D L2 U D' B2 R B2 U' R' F2 U R F R2 F R' F' R' F' R2 D' F' D F R F' R (31)

premove: R

2x2x3: U' R' F2 U
pseudo-F2L: R F R2 F R' F' R' F' R'
corners: R' D' F' D F R F'
25 move skeleton, insert U' D L2 U D' B2 at * giving 31.

Alternate ideas: L D' F R B2/U' R' F2 U/R F2, then NISS with that and do F2 R2 F' R F, giving 16-move F2L. Couldn't do anything with it though :/

This was my first time doing an edge insertion, like, ever.

Just posting it now, because I am going on another > 3000 km hitchhiking tour (Darwin->Cairns throught Kakadu) and don't know if I will have internet at anytime. If I do have internet, I will surely do more puzzles and update this post:

Square-1: 59.19 52.16 56.93 1:11.40 1:00.05

Very unstable results, but my One-Handed keeps improving for some reason, especially if I get good PLL's
Blindfolded was very nice, especially the first 222 scramble. Just 2 misoriented corners and a 3 cycle that only needed 1 (cancelling) setupmove.333 blind was also nice, good times for me and the only mistake were 2 misoriented corners.

Pretty good results :)

2x2x2 : 4.22, 3.57, 5.32, (7.24), (3.11) = 4.37 not bad

Solution : L B' L2 R2 U D L U2 B2 U' B' U' D L2 F' R' F L2 F' R D' U2 L2 U' L' U L' U2 F' L' D' L D' F

regular scramble :
L B' L2 some nice blocks
switch to inverse, premoves L2 B L' :
F' D2 F more blocks
back to normal scramble, premoves F' D2 F
R2 U D L U2 B2 U' B' U' D * F' D' F2L-1
U2 L2 U' L' U L' U2 last slot
F' L' D' L D F leaves 3 corners

insert at * : L2 F' R' F L2 F' R F, cancels 1 move
