5x5: 5:55.89 5:33.73 6:24.52 7:29.01 6:48.16 = 6:22.86
6x6: 17:59 13:01 13:50 17:27 14:32 = 15:16.33
First time ever speedsolved. As all other cubes, approximately four times as slow as others :)
2-4Rel: 4:03.99 Nah
2-5Rel: 12:42.26 Nah

Bld
2x2BLD: 36.61 [ 13], 33.90 [ 14], 25.85 [ 11] = 25.85
good
3x3BLD: 1:26.77 [ 36], DNF [1:48.32, 36], 1:45.98 [ 38] = 1:26.77
good
4x4BLD: DNF [8:19.91, 4:22], 7:46.47 [ 4:26], 6:51.21 [ 3:47] = 6:51.21
good
5x5BLD: DNF [17:28.10, 9:59], 13:07.15 [ 7:12], DNF [12:20.78, 7:00] = 13:07.15
very good, second best solve ever. The third was even faster but had several errors.
6x6BLD: DNF [47:03, 29:04] = DNF
4 centers off (2U 2D). Rather slow because I did it on a bus.
7x7BLD: DNF [1:20:14, 53:08] = DNF
4 +centers and 6 obliques off. I am beginning to get a little annoyed at
getting so close but never ok. I think five of the last six 6/7-bld has been very close.

I did both of those today on a bus (to and fro :)) and noticed that memo from the 6x6 interfered somewhat while doing the 7x7.
I use the same rooms (yes, I use some 30 rooms in our houses and apartments) for all big cubes and the exact same rooms for
the corresponding pieces. Memo for a big cube must be able to stick for up to an hour and it was perhaps three hours
between the solves. The memo for some rooms at the 6x6 were still rather strong when I did the 7x7 so I had to spend
some time filtering those persons away :). But there were no memo errors, only execution errors.

Hi and welcome to the weekly competition :).

An entry for FMC (Fewest moves) is supposed to have both a solution
and an explanation of that solution, so we can follow your thinking.

Hi and welcome to the weekly competition :).

An entry for FMC (Fewest moves) is supposed to have both a solution
and an explanation of that solution, so we can follow your thinking.

As Mats said earlier, you need to write your solution for FMC.

Why parentheses around all bld times? I don't see the point in having them.
I need to add a counter in my "Weekly Competition Timer". It puts parentheses around the fastest and slowest times, but here the 2 "DNF" are equally slow, so I need to make a "Fastest/Slowest Time Allready Found" counter.

Still that's not the same for "average" events as for "best of" events. Please skip the parentheses for bld events.
