Congrats!

21 points next? ;)
The problem is I only have 17 cubes. But I'm going for 21 at this comp in May if they let me do multi.

Also just got every 3BLD PB.

I've got at least 10 cubes I don't want anymore, if you're interested you could paypal me $25 or so for shipping (not sure how much shipping would cost, it might be cheaper if you just buy cheap 3x3s like cyclone boys off lightake. I don't want payment for the actual cubes considering I never use them)

Nice 3bld stats, I assume you use M2 OP still like me?

Nope, I use TuRBo for edges. The main reason I haven't bought more cubes is that I only want more right now to practice before my comp in 2-3 weeks, which isn't enough time to get them online.

Shipping from Aus wouldn't take too long though would it? I might also be able to buy some from KiwiCuber or tx, so I'll let you know.

I remember shipping to Singapore with the cheapest option took between 3 business days and about 7 business days (I had a guy who ordered from Singapore a few times back when I had my business)

Shipping is pretty expensive, so it might not be worth it.

I think trying 21 for the first time at your comp might not be too smart, maybe just go for a nice 17/17, buy some cubes at the comp/from lightake and try 21+ at the next comp (Aus Nats! 2 day comp in June-August in Melbourne or Sydney with 3bld 4bld 5bld multi!)

Otherwise I could mail you some cubes tomorrow which would come either next week or (unluckily) the week after.

MultiBLD: 1/2 14:49.16[9:36.79]

1) L B2 D' F2 R' D2 B' D2 F' U' R2 D F2 D' L2 D' R2 D2 F2 B2

I'm going to count this as a success, considering the first cube was off by 3 pieces. I went reaaaally slowly to make sure I had everything right, because I don't have a good letter pair list (that's hard to memorise), and I don't have much of a journey yet. But still, it'd be counted as a success in comp, so that's good enough for me.

17/17 46:44.48[28:39.41]

Memo was pretty slow (skipped a room so I had to check some cubes), but at that pace I can do 21 cubes sub-OcR.

Nice job, but are you actually planning on doing 21? Seems very risky when you haven't attempted over 17 before, and only gives you OcR if you have perfect accuracy.

Also have you used the other 4 routes before?

I'm getting some cubes tomorrow. I'll only try 21 if I can get 21/21 before the comp.

I have 32 routes. I use the first halfish one multi, and the second halfish the next (some overlap). So I'm pretty used to all of them.

I should also mention I've gotten 18/18 (long before I got 17/17). I guess it was pretty lucky.
