Finally got around to doing it. My parents told me to go to bed after the movie, because it was 1:30 in the morning when we came back from the movie. :p

What's the difference between 3/3 MBLD and 3/4 MBLD? Which one is better to have? Because if 3/4 is better than 3/3, I just got a PB!

Memo was fairly easy, the DNF was the short-term memo, and I am going to try to do it again today, after I get time to forget my memo!

Well obviously 3/3 is better than 3/4... 3/3 is 3 points and 3/4 is 2 points.

In MBLD points are calculated like this: POINTS = NUMBER_OF_SOLVED_CUBES - NUMBER_OF_UNSOLVED_CUBES
So for example if I do 18/21 I have 18 solved cubes and 3 unsolved. So my points would be 18-3=15 points...

Ahh... okay. I'm still leaving it in my signature for me to see how close I was to doing 4/4. I was a flipped edge and a parity fix away from the fourth being solved.

Sub-10 in 4bld. First scramble from weekly competiotion: 9:45.38. I've been doing 5bld for a week (1 or 2 solves per day). All attemptes I've failed, but 4bld seems much easier. Wow. Pb by almost 2 minutes.

I've been avoiding full solves while learning M2 (apart from one half-hearted failure) but today I met the nephew who got me into cubing and he made me solve in front of the family and against the odds, and with his stinky top tied around my face as a blindfold, I got a very nice comfortable solve. I'll try and find time for daily attempts now.

Interesting solve! I see you started by flipping the FR and DB edges and then solved corners, and then back to the edges. Is it always like this when you see there's more than 1 flipped edge?
I flipped the edges because they were done with visual memo, which I can only remember for a few seconds. I then solved corners because they were with audio, which I can remember for longer, but still not for very long. Edges were memoed first and executed last because I use images for them, so I can remember them for longer.

But what if there was only one flipped edge, meaning that you would have to flip it with your buffer, how would that work?
