@ Zane_C
Sorry I dont keep very good track of my pbs :P I ussually just do solves (mainly untimed). I'll try to find my video camra.

Fix this.

Jacob, the first time suspicion arose was when I noticed a significant leap in your 3x3 times. (weekly comp 14 and15)

Last week you were excited about a sub 20 OH SINGLE:
3x3 OH: 24.67= 24.76, (18.36), (25.56), 24.82, 24.42
Comment: Sub-20 single!!!!!

This week:

Comment: didn’t realize it was sub-20 till I wrote it down :P



Your megaminx results have also been interesting, take note of the comments.
5 weeks ago (weekly comp 14):
Megaminx: 1:11.19 = 1:11.85, (1:14.86), 1:11.93, 1:09.78, (1:07.11)
The only thing I practiced

This week:
Megaminx: 1:15.60= 1:13.33, 1:16.05, (1:31.96), (59.68), 1:17.42
Comment: Don’t you love When You get an average PB, and one of the solves had a POP!

To summarise. Unless you start making videos proving your recent speed solving claims, you will be disapproved by the vast majority.

6x6 BLD: DNF(49:43.18)
Comment: Edges only, DARN!!! Off by only one set of edges flipped
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing this, but I hope you realise unless the entire thing is solved or off by one turn from being solved. It’s a DNF...

So please type “DNF” in front of that partial 7BLD attempt. If you don't, it's disrespectful to those who put the huge amount of time and effort into practising and perfecting such events. (ie Mike, Mats and Chris).
 
It had been too long away from here so I couldn't resist giving it a go again (apart from 6,7BLD) :)

2x2x2: 4.33, (4.60), 3.90, (2.06), 4.07 = 4.22 Ortega except CLL on last one. 4th one was 1-look 'full step' ortega :p
3x3x3: 12.78, 12.75, (10.43), 12.38, (14.18) = 12.64 Wow :) No warm up, and rolled it to 12.56avg12 (0.02 from pb)

3x3x3BLD: 1:31.18, 1:21.33, DNF = 1:21.33
4x4x4BLD: DNF, DNF, 6:54.28 [3:20] = 6:54.28 Yep, I just did bld solves at home for the first time since January :) I kinda suck at memo now
5x5x5BLD: DNF (15:01), DNS, DNS = DNF
MultiBLD: 1/2 1:17.04 I'm sure you can guess what I did here
OH: 21.81, (27.48), 21.02, 25.76, (20.27) = 22.86 Pretty good
Feet: 56.39, (1:04.21), (52.33), 53.01, 1:03.44 = 57.61 Meh

Clock: 8.42, 7.64, (7.26), (8.71), 8.58 = 8.22 I'm badly out of practice :(
Megaminx: (1:54.47), 1:43.55, 1:49.43, 1:43.58, (1:37.75) = 1:45.52
Pyraminx: (5.49), (7.88), 5.87, 6.00, 6.24 = 6.03
Skewb: (1:44.56), 41.63, 1:08.60, (30.85), 38.03 = 49.42 I'm awesome
Square-1: 29.19, (30.85), 24.19, (22.07), 22.16 = 25.18 2 parities
FMC is on page 2
 
2x2x2 Blindfolded: DNF, 11.22, 15.88 = 11.22
3x3x3 Blindfolded: DNF, 35.88, 36.03 = 35.88
 
What is a good time for you then (single, average)? I am very impressed by these times, actually. :eek:

Well just finished a round of 85 times (weekly was number 6 to 10) My best avg of 12 was 42.34 I think and best single was 35.83. didn't notice the session mean.

So a good avg of 5 would have been sub-46 or 45. single sub-40. or 39.
 
2x2: 5.31, 3.94, (3.59), (6.44), 3.59 = 4.28

5x5: 1:51.75, 2:05.41, (2:25.59), (1:51.28), 2:05.68 = 2:00.95
3x3 OH: (24.84), 28.75, 25.18, (35.58), 27.75 = 27.23
Pyraminx: 8.06, 7.69, (6.56), (10.47), 7.18 = 7.64

3x3x3: 24.54, 28.31, 21.78, 25.20, 19.83 = 23.84
4x4x4: 1:46.99 [O], 1:43.17 [OP], 1:29.93 [P], 1:45.59, 1:28.37 = 1:39.56
5x5x5: 2:50.84, 2:56.77, 3:19.58, 2:56.56, 2:41.43 = 2:54.72
Comment: All freeslice.
6x6x6: 4:58.84, 5:22.97 [OP], 4:58.73 [P], 5:15.52 [OP], 4:49.80 [O] = 5:04.36
Comment: All freeslice.
7x7x7: 8:16.02, 7:03.65, 7:04.00, 7:54.88, 8:08.26 = 7:42.38
Comment: All freeslice.
2x2x2 BLD: 26.02, 30.42, 25.77 = 25.77
3x3x3 BLD: 1:25.32, 1:51.26, 1:52.56 = 1:25.32
4x4x4 BLD: DNF [8:34.92, 4:13], 6:48.20 [3:31], 9:24.04 [5:09] = 6:48.20
Comment: First one was completely scrambled - I messed up the last algorithm completely and got lost in it, so that probably explains most of it. At least I had one good big BLD solve this week; I’m afraid it was the only one.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [14:36.63, 7:54], DNF [16:02.78, 8:23], DNF [16:01.43, 8:44] = DNF
Comment: Terrible - I missed all three! The first one was off by just 3 corners. The second one was off by just 3 wings - I did 2 images out of order. The third one was off by 4 wings, 6 X centers, and 2 + centers. I was so discouraged I didn’t bother to figure it all out, but the wings were wrong because I used my old labeling of the bad edges instead of the new one. I’m not sure the new labels are working out.
6x6x6 BLD: DNF [29:28.87, 15:03]
Comment: Good time, but pretty bad result - off by 2 obliques (don’t know why), 2 inner X centers (mismemorized), and 3 inner wings (solved SW instead of SX).
7x7x7 BLD: DNF [1:07:14.08, 43:30]
Comment: Off by just 2 corners twisted. This was the craziest solve because I was sleep-deprived when I did it. While memorizing the second set of obliques, I actually fell asleep. I don’t know how long, but I’d guess it was just a few seconds. I had a vague recollection when I awoke that I had been dreaming about some of the memo images. I had to go back over all of the memo to that point, and I refreshed again between every orbit of pieces, but I eventually forced myself to get it all. Then I just messed up memorizing one corner sticker. Ugh.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 10/11 = 9 points, 50:53.71 [34:58]
Comment: Fourth cube off by 2 corners twisted - memorized them the wrong direction. I think this is my fastest attempt ever with 11 cubes.
3x3x3 OH: 41.75, 55.05, 56.06, 44.55, 41.41 = 47.12
3x3x3 WF: 1:35.81, 1:50.88, 1:37.56, 2:02.86, 2:01.34 = 1:49.93
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:25.59, 1:20.69, 1:30.27 +, 1:38.55, 1:23.78 = 1:26.55
Comment: On the third solve, the bottom layer was turned 90 degrees; I felt like I was cheating to count it solved.
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 39 moves
U F’ B’ U’ B L2 F U2 F U2 F U’ F U2 F’ U’ F U F’ L U F U’ F’ L’ R’ F R U R’ U’ F’ U R U D2 F D2 F’

4th pair: U’ F U2 F’ U’ F U F’
random OLL: L U F U’ F’ L’
second OLL solves: R’ F R U R’ U’ F’ U R U

Comment: Lucked into this solve linearly after applying premoves, then never found anything that was actually good, so I just used this as a safety solve. So bad.
2-4 relay: 2:13.63 [OP]
2-5 relay: 5:21.86

Comment: For BLD solve, couldn’t tell how many notches I turned it on several turns.
MegaMinx: DNF [35:33.18, 19:57], 2:37.86, 3:41.88, 3:00.69, 2:55.09 = 3:12.55
Comment: BLD solve off by 11 corners and 5 edges; I definitely had one face slip once that might explain all the edges and some of the corners. For the third solve, I messed up the end of the LL and had to redo the whole LL.
Pyraminx: 1:46.75, 19.28, 14.18, 15.65, 14.65 = 16.53
Square-1: 5:44.83 [3:31], 37.11 [P], 54.83, 49.75[P], 39.55 [P] = 48.04

Pyraminx: 12.71, (15.06), 11.14, 15.03, (10.55) = 12.96

Very crappy BLD results.
I scrambled 8 cubes for multi but I gave up about 30 seconds in - After a day of cubing I couldn't be bothered at all.

2x2 BLD: 37.41, 25.51+, 23.68 = 23.68
3x3 BLD: = 1:43.20, DNF, DNF = 1:43.20
Comment: Hmm... :(
4x4 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF :fp
Comment: DNF(off by a lot), DNF(4:47, off by 2 centers), DNF(memo failure).
5x5 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF :fp
Comment: DNF(Low 4 memo, and a center twists at the start and I get lost). DNF(15:xx, loads of memo errors, off by 2 centers). DNF(undid an alg wrong about 20 seconds in)
