Comment: Not as good this week. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong on the first one; the second one was due to memorizing N instead of P. I’ve had way too many of this kind of error lately – looking at the correct place but memorizing the wrong letter. The third one was really easy, but I was afraid I might DNF so I took it slow, triple-checking memory and doing some longer but safer algorithms in some cases, and yet it was still sub-15. Obviously a very easy scramble.
6x6x6 BLD: 31:46.97 [17:13]
Comment: It was really nice to get this; at one point I had an oblique piece fly out, but I was able to easily find it and put it back in.
7x7x7 BLD: DNF [1:11:03.06, 44:24, 4oX]
Comment: Just 4 outer X centers wrong; my memorization was incorrect, but I realized it when solving and tried to figure out what it should be. I guessed wrong. The solve was so slow because I was too tired – I shouldn’t have tried it that day.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 11/15 = 7 points, 57:36.32 [35:41]
Comment: Cube 1 was off by 3 edges; I left out the very first image I memorized. :fp Cube 15 was off by 3 corners; I memorized E instead of F. Cubes 2 and 12 were both off by just 2 edges; in both cases, I simply didn't see the flipped edges when memorizing. This was really my best attempt yet at 15 cubes; I was under control the whole time, and it was just silly mistakes that killed me. I still think 15 cubes is probably a bit much for me for official competitions, though.
3x3x3 OH: 45.18, 39.53, 35.59, 53.90, 44.13 = 42.95
3x3x3 WF: 2:11.96, 3:13.68, 1:59.33, 2:04.71, 2:09.77 = 2:08.81
Comment: I had hoped that practicing on a hard floor would allow me to get better on a hard floor, but that has never happened. I’m still terrible on a hard floor, but much better on a carpet.
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:22.74, 1:23.90, 1:31.97, 1:12.37, 1:15.31 = 1:20.65
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 29 moves
Comment: See solution earlier in thread. Another really nice one!

Comment: OHITABLD, of course.

Comment: That one BLD solve each week really hurts when I have a disastrous normal solve!
MegaMinx: DNF [28:34.80, 15:13], 2:54.44, 2:50.27, 2:57.74, 2:56.01 = 2:56.06
Comment: BLD attempt had just 10 edges solved – the rest was scrambled. The reason: I was holding the puzzle wrong again. That’s one of the worst things about megaminx – how easy it is to accidentally misorient it.
Pyraminx: 1:05.11, 21.55, 13.22, 12.33, 13.11 = 15.96
