Scramble: F2 U2 F' L D2 L2 D' B' D2 B2 U2 L U R U2 F' R
Solution: R' D U' R B D' B2 R' F' U2 R F' U2 F2 U' R U L' U L' B L B' L U2 R2 F' R2
2x2x2: R' D U' R B D' B2
2x2x3: R' F' U2 R F' U
third pair: (premove R)
fourth pair: (add premoves R' F' R, giving total premoves of R' F' R2) U F2 U'
OLL: R U L' U L' B L B' L U2 R'
PLL skip!
U U become U2 before fourth pair; R' R' become R2 before adding premoves at end.
Comment: I thought I was doing well with this, but now I see Simon was even luckier than I was (his OLL was shorter, and he also got a PLL skip).

R B' R' L U2 B L D'L2 B D B' D2 (2X2X3)(13/13)
F' U L2 U' (L) (pseudo F2L)(5/18)
(L) F D F' D' L' D' L' U L D (L') (U') (L) (OLL)(14/32)
(L') (U) (L') D2 L U' L' D2 L2 F2 (PLL)(10/42)
L' U L U' F (remove pseudoness)(5/47)
between F2L and OLL L L becomes L2, between OLL and PLL L' U' L L' U L' becomes L2. So the result is 41 moves.

My other solution was was 39 HTM:
2x2x2: R B' R' B2 R' B'
2x2x3: F' D F2 * D2 F2 L D'
F2L-1: F2 L2 F L2
F2L + orient/permute edges: U' F' U F2 L F' L' F
Last 3 corners: F L F' R' F L' F' R
Insert at * B' U B D B' U' B D'
It's funny, my heart was racing to solve these last 4 corners in time... then the solution wasn't any better.
Yay, finally an accurate week.
2x2 BLD: 18.91, 18.23, 19.63 = 18.91 3x3 BLD: 39.41, 39.23, 39.45 = 39.23 Comment: Consistent, the second one had a very long pause. 5x5 BLD: 6:15.53, 8:30.07, 14:50.37 = 6:15.53 Comment: Second best solve ever, memo was ~2:35. On the last, I made a couple of memo mistakes, memo was barely sub-10. 3x3 Multi BLD: 19/27 (57:13.18) = 11 points Comment: I have know idea why this went so bad.
- 5 cubes off by a 3-cycle
- 1 cube off by 2 flipped edges
- 2 cubes off by a lot
2x2BLD: DNF [38.72, 12], DNF [41.41, 9], 44.89 [ 15] = 44.89 3x3BLD: 1:13.55 [ 23], 1:28.43 [ 37], 1:34.18 [ 25] = 1:13.55 very good all three 4x4BLD: DNF [6:16.00, 3:17], 6:44.89 [ 3:22], DNF [6:04.03, 3:27] = 6:44.89 good times and at least one ok 5x5BLD: DNF [17:16.03, 9:50], DNF [17:24.22, 9:20], DNF [13:06.25, 7:00] = DNF two close and on hideous 6x6BLD: DNF [44:00, 24:30] = DNF plain bad 7x7BLD: DNF
Tried to do this after more than four hours of chess. It did not work well . Multi:9/10 = 8 in 56:09 [40:27]
last memoed/first solved cube had two flipped edges. Have you heard it before. But this time I actually think it was
a mistake in analysis. This cube was rather hard. And there were plenty of cubes with twists and flips, so all in all
rather good for me. Of course it has been a little weird since Zane and Jakob started doing Multi. But I use to
think that I compete against myself and so it must be in big bld and Multi. Funny that it is much harder to be
twice as slow as Zane in bigbld than to be four five times as slow as Feliks in speed. But very nice 5x5 Zane .
Six minutes is amazing.
