7x7x7 BLD: 37:21.20 [20:21]

Wow, that was nice - a new PB by over 3:30! For the weekly competition. It's funny, I had forgotten what my old PB was, and I thought it was much faster than 40 minutes, so I was hurrying to try to beat it. Then I looked it up and realized my PB was still over 41 minutes before this. :)

6x6x6 BLD: 25:06.10 [14:30]
New PB! I still have over 2 1/2 minutes to go to catch Jakube's UWR, though. But my execution was almost 2 minutes faster than his! It seems like all that 8x8x8 BLD practice has really sped up my execution on obliques, which I think is why I suddenly got so much faster at execution.

Congratulations Mike! Both of those solves are extremely impressive!

7.89 corner only execution with 2-3sec preinspection time. some freestyle method.
Actually, I had big number of sub10 executions, but this is probably the fastest. Just proves how fast commutators are, compared to OP where I could rarely get sub18. :p :D
Need memo fix, though.

My accomplishment is practising. Results aren't pleasing, but at least it was some practice. :)
Done in a period of about 4 hours, with some breaks in between, of course. The fastest 'non-give up' attempt was 34, anything below that wasn't a full attempt.

number of times: 31/74
best time: 36.12
worst time: 1:08.69
current avg5: 53.55 (σ = 7.22)
best avg5: 53.55 (σ = 7.22)
best avg12: DNF
session mean: 51.13

It's sad for me, Zane. I still remember times when you were my god.
But I understand that you have better things to do than cubing ;)

My session: 44/69 (I did it one by one, without any break.)
Session mean: 49.72
Best avg5: 46.91
Best avg12: DNF
Best time: 37.83
Worst time: 57.20

And my third try to 27 cubes in multi: 23/27, 56:45.91 [31:40]
All what I want is only one cube more : D

EDIT: second try today: 23/27, 54:00.03 [30:05], argh ^_^

Wtf!? 59.69 BLD solve! First sub 1! Old PB was 1:12.xx. First scramble from the weekly competition, memo was super fluid, I don't think I had to recall once. Memo was sub 35. This was also my first blind solve in over a week and a half of not doing any BLD

(C,M) He CoMes.
(FK,GRE) F**k, GREece are rioting.
