3x3: 57.31, 55.63, 44.43, 42.36, 55.00 = 51.69
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.
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’ DF2L-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

Fewest Moves:

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
2x2x2: L D' F * R B2
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:
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.
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
5x5x5 Blindfolded: DNF [43:03.57], DNF [44:58.84], DNS = DNF
1st: U face turned 90 degrees while I was unaware...

@Attila Thanks! And you also achieved Sub 30 as usual.
And also thanks to Guus!
