3x3 Feet: (57.27), 1:00.71, 1:09.09, 1:09.33, (1:13.94) => 1:06.38 min
Decent start, bad ending. I hate R- and T-perms.

Pyraminx: 7.62, (7.58), 7.78, 10.07, (DNF) => 8.49 sec.
I somehow forgot to start the timer on the last solve.

Clock: (11.09), (16.09), 13.87, 11.48, 14.63 => 13.33 sec.
I am trying not to be in the bottom 5 this week.

Fewest Moves:

Spoiler

Scramble: L2 D2 R' B D B2 L2 D2 F' U B' F U' L R B F' R
Solution: R B R B' R' B R B' R' L U R2 U' R L' B R' B' R' B2 U2 R' B2 R2 B' L2 D' L U2 F' (30)

Use inverse scramble.
2x2x2: F U2 L' D L2 (5|5)
2x2x3: B R2 B2 R U2 (5|10)
F2L minus pair: B2 L U R' U' L' (6|16)
All but 3 edges: R B R' B' R B R' B' R' (9|25)
This gives 25 move skeleton: R B R B' R' B R B' R' L U R * U' L' B2 U2 R' B2 R2 B' L2 D' L U2 F'. Insert R U' M U R' U' M' U = R U' R L' B R' B' R' L U at *, 5 moves cancel, for a total of 30.

This was a lucky end, but I had some other decent stuff too. My first inverse scramble solution was F U2 L' D L2 / B R B2 R2 U2 / R D B2 D' R', then doing NISS gives an easy 30 move skeleton.
Next (still inverse) I did F U2 L' D L2 / B R B2 R2 U2, then NISS and do B' R B R2 B / B R' B' R D' R' D / D' R' D R D B' D' B R (lots of cancellation!) for a 27 move skeleton with 3 corners. But I couldn't find anything better than a 7 move insertion.
My last interesting thing I came across while just doing a Fridrich solve. On the forward scramble, do D2 L' F B U' L U' / B D' B' D' R' D R / F' D F / B' D B / D L' D' L. That's a 24 move F2L, pretty good for Fridrich, but I wasn't going to try to finish that.

Happy Birthday, Okayama!

Happy Birthday Okayama!
What age are you now?

 

[okayama]

Jernqvist, Guus, Thank you!

Happy Birthday Okayama!
What age are you now?

0x1D, still a young researcher.

Generally in Japan, a man of such an age is already recognized as "OSSAN" or "OJISAN",
which means a man who is no longer young.
In computer science's area, however, the second bit "1" is called a "young bit",
so I should be recognized as a "young" researcher for a few years.

Sorry for the inside topic.

Congratulations from me too (We almost share birthday)

I liked the "inside topic". I am 0x3D, still a young cuber.
What do you call the "3" then (not bit, but hex digit).

Thanks, and you too, Mats!

Yeah not bit, but digit. It's my mistake.
Hmm, there seems to be no special name of 0x20 or later.
Idea:

• 0x2?: trained,
• 0x3?: expert,
• 0x4?: superlative,
• 0x5?: God,

or like that?
