[Comment:
I recieved a Square 1 this weekend, learned to solve it without cheat sheet yesterday, so this is a PB.
The 3x3x3 was done on my new ZhanChi. It is lubed and tensioned to loose, so it's flying all over the place.
I also got a MegaMinx, but I can't solve all of LL without paper yet.
Whaaat?!? It seems like someone has been buying himself some nice cubes for his own 40th birthday.
Oh yeah, and a 3$ Floppy Cube, which broke after 15 min. It now has a big screw through the centerpiece and into the core.]

Victor--updating times 2x2: 9.09, 14.06, 9.92, 8.18, 13.34 = 10.78 3x3: 39.18, (31.53), 33.42, 35.26, (79.56) = 35.95
Hah, that last one was a pop that went directly into my oatmeal. Had to clean it before putting it back in 4x4: 1:52.46, 1:53.53, 1:51.89, (1:37.82), (2:02.89) = 1:52.63 5x5: (4:40.18), 3:56.71, 3:44.43, 3:40.40, (3:23.45) = 3:47.18 3x3 Match: = NOT2:41.18 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 relay: NOT2:27.59 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5 relay: NOT6:11.90 2x2 blindfolded: = NOTDNF
2x2BLD: 29.38 [ 11], 39.96 [ 17], 30.39 [ 11] = 29.38 3x3BLD: 1:45.36 [ 46], 2:32.89 [ 23], DNF [1:29.83, 36] = 1:45.36 4x4BLD: 7:36.44 [ 3:56], DNF [6:44.84, 3:33], 6:52.20 [ 3:50] = 6:52.20 5x5BLD: DNF [16:07.68, 9:10], DNF [14:28.17, 7:58], DNF [16:16.49, 9:08] = DNF
So bad. Four of the six last solves I've done have been 2 centers off (two here and two at Swedish Cubedays) 6x6BLD: DNF = DNF
Memoed for 24 minutes, then immediately making an error at the last corner comm (I solve corners first).
I knew it "in my fingers" and sat for a while and really tried to understand what error I made to be able to
undo it. But it did not work so I had to give up. (and yes, the fingers were right, the corners were wrong). 7x7BLD: DNF [1:02:17, 31:42] = DNF
Sigh, two outer x-corners swapped and two +-obliques swapped. Multi: 5/11 = DNF 60:00 memo ca 44
Too many cubes for me today . Ran out of time and did not review sufficiently.
Fun to have you back Michael, so to be able to compete against some people
who are not speed demons . But please don't call me that word, reserve it for Methusalem.
Or I'll sir you back .
