(I do this pretty often in the 2x2 example thread).
I never checked our 2x2 example solves but already expected something like this seeing your very short solutions.

Atilla, definately try some corners insertions, I'm very curious to see how it would work out in your style.
Solving only 5 corners instead of 8 sounds like a good start and with possible cancellations to add it could make some very interesting solves.

But perhaps recognition is affected by the "missing corners"?

2x2x2:
I'll probably do this when my cube arrives

3x3x3:

29.68 (Solve crapped out, can't explain), (24.40) (G Perm), 26.12, (34.51) (Haven't gotten a solve that's over 30 in a few weeks...), 24.94 (G Perm) > 26.91 (Above my usual avg)

5x5x5:

I'll do it tomorrow and edit

7x7x7:

Tomorrow and edit

3x3x3 OH:

1:00.60 (Bad cross+F2L), (56.08) (Bad OLL), 59.25 (F2L last 2 pairs were bad), 1:00.57 (G Perm), (1:13.04) (Terrible OLL, H Perm with regular alg...) > 1:00.57 (Yesterday I had a better one...)
