4x4x4 Blindfolded: 6:33.82[2:50], 7:16.22[3:03], DNF = 6:33.82 Had to redo 2 center comms on the second cube. Pop on the 3rd. 5x5x5 Blindfolded: DNF(15:15.36)[6:44], DNF(13:53.83)[6:39], DNF(13:21.82)[6:31] = DNF All 3 solves off by 2 centers, last one + 2 flipped midges. Multiple Blindfolded: 18/18 in 58:38.09[36:19] Yes. Finally I bet a WR. 3x3x3 One Handed: 29.99, 30.92, (39.52), (25.98), 33.61 = 31.51
Done BLD: 4x4x4: 7:12.03[3:15], DNF(6:56.46)[3:02], DNF(7:02.69)[3:21], DNF(5:48.53)[2:44], 10:35.26[5:30] = DNF 2nd: 4 centers, 3rd: 2 centers, 4th: 2 centers, 5th: Messed up memo a lot, slow solving, ... 5x5x5: 13:41.81[6:46], DNF(13:39.96)[6:07], DNF(13:45.58)[7:03], DNF(13:55.86)[6:05], 13:56.71[6:16] = DNF 2nd: Messed up something during wings or edges, centers done. 3rd: 8 wings, 4 midges, 4 corners and 2 centers. All 2cycles. 4th: 3 centers.
Consistent!

Comment: Ugh – terrible to DNF two out of three of these! But the third one more than made up for it. In both of the first two solves, two corners were twisted. 3x3x3 BLD: DNF [1:29.32, 3E], 1:32.38, 1:31.00 = 1:31.00 4x4x4 BLD: 7:40.28 [4:18], 7:44.14 [4:06], DNF [10:06.24, 5:33, 3C, 5W] = 7:40.28
Comment: For the third solve, I couldn’t get the memory to stick, and I also popped a wing; it was awful. 5x5x5 BLD: 20:19.08 [10:33], DNF [18:15.70, 11:04, 2E 3W], 15:57.51 [8:55] = 15:57.51
Comment: I couldn’t get memory to stick well on any of these, although the last one was a little better than the first two. 6x6x6 BLD:DNF [41:37.05, 20:57, 3oW 3iW 2O]
Comment: Memo wouldn’t stick again; I had a lot of problems with that this week. 7x7x7 BLD:DNF [43:26.61, 22:42, 2o+]
Comment: Almost got this one, and the time was pretty good too. 3x3x3 multiBLD:8/15 = 1 point, 59:29.46 [42:00]
Comment: I started this at 2 in the morning with a splitting headache; I’m sure I shouldn’t have tried it, but I hated the thought of skipping out on a real attempt this week. So I tried, but memo took forever. I quit memorizing after 9 cubes and started solving, and I got 8 of the 9, so really it wasn’t that bad, but clearly I shouldn’t have tried 15. (It felt ridiculous having to solve all those cubes when I was done without having ever done anything with them.) The interesting thing was that my head hurt worse as the memo progressed, but after I pulled the blindfold on and started solving, it started getting better. By the time I was done, the headache was completely gone! So I guess I’m glad I did it – it was really easy to get to sleep after that. Maybe I’ve discovered a new headache remedy! 3x3x3 OH: 43.96, 40.93, 51.52, 43.02, 41.63 = 42.87 3x3x3 WF: 1:47.08, 1:33.59, 2:03.78, 1:34.09, 2:25.47 = 1:48.32 3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:19.08, 1:27.13, 1:10.62, 1:18.58, 1:18.29 = 1:18.65 3x3x3 Fewest Moves:33 moves

Comment: Great week for megaminx BLD, but bad week for megaminx speed. Just 7 seconds off my PB on the BLD solve; memo was slow, but execution was really fast. Pyraminx:52.58, 20.68, 14.66, 14.72, 14.65 = 16.69 Square-1:DNF [7:20.31, 4:15, scrambled], 39.25 [P], 41.21 [P], 42.16 [P], 28.63 = 40.87
Comment: BLD was case QV. I messed it up really bad; I think I just made a couple of bad setup moves. Skewb:DNF [2:45.78], 12.11, 24.83, 14.52, 26.77 = 22.04
