Weekly competition 2011-11

[a small kitten]

3x3: 15.01, (12.43), 13.84, 15.37, (15.73) = 14.74
OH: (13.94), 15.80, (16.08), 16.00, 14.37 = 15.39

I think the only thing my other hand gives me is the ability to get slightly faster singles xD

 

[masteranders1]

2x2x2: 5.71, 3.40, 6.59, 6.92, 4.94 = 5.74 avg5
3x3x3: 24.99, 16.96, 23.67, 18.27, 14.98= 19.63 avg5

FMC 30

LL-skip

Spoiler

2x2x2: D F' L2 B L' B . D' : , (7)

At the dot insert L' and at the comma L to make it a X cross. At the colon insert U' to prepare for next pair.

X Cross: D F' L2 B L' B L' D' U' L (10)
P2: U' F U F' (4, 14)
P3: R' U2 R (3, 17)
Pair up last: L U' L' U' B' U B (7, 24)
Woha!: U2 B L' B' L (5, 29)
AUF: U' (1, 30)

Normal until that woha! At first I had a setup to a com to solve last pair and LL-edges and then L3C, 20 moves vs 6 =)

3x3x3: 18.11, (20.34), 18.02, 18.69, (17.71) = 18.27
6x6x6: (3:34.67), 3:40.30, 3:41.40, (3:51.27), 3:41.82 = 3:41.17

Busy week no free time

 

[hhgoal]

3x3: 49.35, 47.98, (DNF), 54.17, (45.38) = 50.5 average

3x3 Fewest Moves: 91



first fewest moves try (not really sure how that works?)

 

[AnsonL]

2x2-1.67, 2.36, 3.94, 2.45, 2.41= 2.40
3x3- 10.26, 12.24, 10.94, 12.41, 11.44= 11.54 lol

FMC: 31 HTM
Aargh no time to look for an insertion on the corner cycle, this should have been a PB!!!!
Spend too much time on a lousy LL in the regular solve

Spoiler

NISS
Start on regular scramble:
D F' U' L' U' B U2 makes 2x2x2 block 7
U L U' makes 2x2x3 block 9 (U2 U cancels into U')

switch to inverse scramble with premoves U L' U B' U L U F D'

D B' L B L' D L makes pseudo F2L minus one corner 16
R F L' F L F2 R' fat sune 23
D' L2 undo pseudo and ALF leaves three corners 25
B D B' U B D' B' U' solves corners 33

Solution:
D F' U' L' U' B U' L U' U B D B' U' B D' B' L2 D R F2 L' F' L F' R' L' D' L B' L' B D'
last U' on inverse cancels with last U' of regular solve = 31 HTM

Final solution:
D F' U' L' U' B U' L B D B' U' B D' B' L2 D R F2 L' F' L F' R' L' D' L B' L' B D' = 31 HTM

For future reference you should always provide your solution with your FMC result. Just trying to help since you said you weren't sure how it works. Welcome to FMC!

 

[JyH]

3x3 BLD: 3:31.56, 3:58.23, 4:01.92
My 3x3 Average sucked, so yeah...

Well, your start is good ;-) The result to post is the number of moves in HTM

But typically you write down your solution.

and check the solutions of other people in the weekly comps to see all these techniques in action.

FMC is a cool event and very good for your overall cube-understanding!

All rounds done!

3x3x3 Blindfolded: 2:09.87, 2:32.19, 3:13.09 = 2:09.87

4x4x4 Blindfolded: 13:57.34, 20:28.62, DNF [18:59.44] = 13:57.34
1st: PB! http://twitpic.com/49rnry
2nd: http://twitpic.com/4ach9c
3rd: Off by 2 centers http://twitpic.com/4ar6np

5x5x5 Blindfolded: DNF, 39:25.99, 41:18.02 = 39:25.99

3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 29 HTM

Scramble: B' L' R2 D L2 B' U B2 F L D2 U2 B R' D2 F2 D' U
Solution: D' R' B' R U R' L2 D' B' D' R2 B2 R' F R2 F' R' F R2 B' L' B R B' L F' D U' F2

Pre-scramble: B' D U' F2

Two 2x2x1 blocks: D' R' B'
2x2x3 block: R U R' L2 D2
Orient edges: D B' D'
F2L minus 1 slot: R2 B2
All but 3 corners: R' F R2 F' R' F R' * F'
Correction: B' D U' F2

Insert at *: R' B' L' B R B' L B

If you use pre-scramble: R2 B D U' F2, you can find:

Two 2x2x1 blocks: D' R' B'
2x2x2 block: R U R'
F2L minus 1 slot: L2 D2

but I couldn't find a good continuation.

 

[Yes We Can!]

3x3:28.92, 23.59, 27.48, DNF(10.16), 26.28=27.56

 

[RubikZz]

3x3: (49.09), 37.64, (29.48), 31.96, 34.71 = 34.77

[antoineccantin]

2x2: 7.04, 4.86, (48.17), 6.08, (4.44) = 5.99
48.17 was an internal pop.

3x3:17.14, (22.57), 16.64, 21.58, (13.63) = 18.45
Very inconsistent and very fail.

4x4: 1:38.16, (1:50.81), 1:41.45, 1:42.68, (1:35.33) = 1:40.76

 

[Jakube]

2x2x2: (4.43), 7.29, 8.53, (8.55), 5.28 = 7.03
3x3x3: (DNF(39.02)), (21.14), 24.24, 24.49, 21.17 = 23.30
4x4x4: 1:36.45, 1:46.29, 1:41.55, (1:26.76), (1:47.80) = 1:41.43
Bad average
5x5x5: (3:30.72), 3:20.06, (2:41.86), 3:08.84, 3.27.99 = 3:18.96
This could have been better, but is o.k.
7x7x7: (10:49.74), 10:45.50, (9:10.24), 9:31.06, 10:23.58 = 10:13.38
Nearly sub 10.
2x2x2 Blindfolded: 36.11, 41.03, 33.79 = 33.79
Wow, all 3 finished
3x3x3 Blindfolded: 2:02.31, 2:07.18, 2:07.48 = 2:02.31
As I said above
4x4x4 Blindfolded: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
Two times I was interrupted, and when I solved the 3rd one, I´ll said to me, Memo unter 5 Minutes, and so I didn´t had time to check things.
5x5x5 Blindfolded: 28:29.18, DNF, 31:22.63 = 28:29.18
Yes, second success and 15 minutes better than the first one.
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 3/4 (24:33.63) = 2
The 3rd one was such an easy scramble, two solved and two flipped edges, but one edge fall out, and I couln´t find it under the desk.
3x3x3 Onehanded: 1.01.61, (1:01.92), 52:28, 55:67, (31.29) = 56:52
I just started pacticing OH again. The last two months I just did the weekly scrambles.
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 Relay: 2:06.21
2x2x2 + 3x3x3 + 4x4x4 + 5x5x5 Relay: 5:11.07
