Should I count an ao12 if half the session was from yesterday?
Because I maybe got a 4BLD ao12.

Either way, I got a new PB single, mo3 and ao5. The ao5 is faster if you count yesterday.

I guess this counts as an accomplishment, 2/3 Multi. Last cube I forgot a letter pair (kind of extraneously placed in my memo anyway) because I got excited and started going a little too fast.

Memo just because I want to see how I structure my memo differently as time goes on:

(this is the pair I forgot)
1st: edges: the RHeese monkey bit the Vice President and he AXed the monkey, I Know he threw him into the LaKe
corners: the OVulating DJ (friend of mine) was thinking about GS (skiing)
2nd: edges: I was doing WV and my GirlFriend DId Not Jump AT me.
corners: ViMeo THought that my GirlFriend was NF (no idea what that means)
3rd: edges: the KW MaN.... Don't remember.... For Sale.....
Yeah, I don't remember the third, it was just a 3bld solve.

Finally! :) Counting sup 1 so I know can definitely beat it soon. The last solve should have been a success, but my hands were shaking a bit since knew I already had an avg12 secured, and so I ended up messing up the parity alg completely.

Method: M2/R2 (and a couple occasional corner comms)

Average of 12: 47.35
1. 49.55 F B L U D R' B R B' D2 F2 L' D2 L' F2 D2 R' F2 B2 U2
2. 41.16 B2 U L F2 D B' L' D2 R' B2 R2 F' U2 D2 F' R2 F' D2 B L2
3. 42.13 U L2 D B2 D U2 L2 B2 F2 U' B' D' L D B' L2 D B L D
4. (34.03) R2 D' R U' B U' D' L' U' F' R2 B2 D2 L2 U' R2 U' F2 L2 U'
5. 49.92 U L2 B2 U' F2 U' L2 R2 U' R2 B' U' R2 B2 U R D L' U' B
6. 42.18 R2 F2 R2 F2 U F2 L2 D2 U' B2 L2 B U F' L2 U L F2 R B F'
7. 41.83 U' L2 D B2 L2 D R2 D B2 D R' D2 U B' D L2 U' R2 F' R
8. 47.11 R2 B2 U2 B2 U' F2 D' L2 D2 R2 U B' R' D2 L' R2 U2 B2 D B' R'
9. 50.70 U' L' F B' U' B' R2 F R' L2 D L2 D F2 U R2 L2 D B2 L2
10. 1:01.15 U D' F' B2 U R2 L2 B2 L' B' D F2 R2 U' L2 U B2 L2 U' B2 D
11. 47.73 L U2 F2 U2 L2 D2 L F2 L' R' U2 B' U2 L R U' L' F D2 F
12. (DNF(48.63)) L D2 U2 F2 L2 R' U2 L2 D2 R' D F D' L B U' L' R D2 F2

This average of 12 contains:

Average of 5: 41.82 (41.16, 42.13, 34.05, 49.92, 42.18)
Mo3: 39.11 (42.16, 42.13, and 34.05. On that last solve I stopped the timer late and saw the time change from 33 to 34).

I don't know whether to put this in the blindfold failures thread or accomplishment thread... But I'll keep it positive and put it here!

I just did my first 4BLD attempt, and it wasn't a success, but I was only off by maybe a few cycles of centers, I think I know what I did wrong, too, I think it was because I was using just a kind of mix between audio and actual words, so I switched two letter pairs. It might have also been an execution error, I forgot a letter pair but went back to fix it, so that's just more places to make a mistake. Ironically, centers (aside from corners) are usually my best piece type, so I was surprised to get wings correct and centers not.

Really excited about bigBLD! Maybe I'll do another attempt today, and time it. Might even record it too.
