Scramble: B2 F' L2 B D2 U2 F L2 D2 F' L D U R' F D B U2 F2 U2
Solution: R' B' D' B' L2 F D2 F' D' L2 R' F L2 F' R F L2 D2 U B' L2 B R' B' F' U

(Inverse)
Pre-scramble: B2 R

Orient edges: U' F L2 B R
2x2x2 block: U'
2x2x3 block: D F'

Modify the pre-scramble to L2 B D B R (found on normal), then

Orient edges: U' F * L2 B R
2x2x2 block: U'
2x2x3 block: D2 F' + L2
All but 5 corners: D F D2 F'
Correction: L2 B D B R

Insert at *: B R B' L2 B R' B' L2
Insert at +: F L2 F' R' F L2 F' R

On normal, R' D R2 L B' F D' F2 D F' U' B' looks interesting, but I couldn't find any good continuation.

3x3:

19.64, 19.22, (22.77), 18.59, (17.52) = 19.15

I do better at 3x3 but I was tired and there wasn't good lighting.

Lol you mean a success?

Ah, yes, that's one way of putting it! It's my first success in like 12 attempts lol.

 

[Keroma12]

I scrambled my multi cubes, but I haven't found time for the attempt yet. Will do tomorrow evening and update here, but it'll probably be too late to count.

3x3x3 BLD: DNF, 1:27.43, 1:29.95 = 1:27.43
hopefully I'll start working harder on corner comms in the near future
5x5x5 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
First solves in 3 weeks, all sub-5 memo (only done that once before). First was my first sub-10 attempt, at 9:06.

[FastCubeMaster]

I did all my other events on the comp website but I'm doing FMC here cos it's easier

FMC: 50 moves
L' F2 R B D' L D2 L2 U D' L2 B D2 B U' L D2 L' D' L D' F'(F2L-1) D' F Fw D F' D F D' F' D F D2 Fw' D(OLL) B2 L B D B D' B' L' B D2 B' D2 B D2(PLL)

Man, I had a 20 move F2L-1 but I couldn't find any good influence to last layer at ALL
This is like my third or fourth FMC attempt so it's ok.

3BLD: DNF DNF DNF
Ugh they were all stupid.

OH: 20.23 21.05 20.45 34.85 23.89 = 21.80

2BLD: 27.37 DNS DNS

Heyy, anyone could help me with the competition site? Should it work now? I've signed up there but when trying to log in, it says failed to log in in the upper left corner. What should I do?

Can it be that I registered while the site was down and that's why I can't log in? It has my account because it says that the username is in use when trying to register again.

I'm no expert myself, but would recommend learning (and applying!) edge orientation

I would recommend that you use the forum here until the comp site is fixed.

@FastCubeMaster: An FMC solution should be accompanied by some sort of explanation
how you got to the solution. See how others do.
@Christopher Cabrera: you too
