    Thank you!
    I used U2 for centers, r2 for wings, M2 for edges and OP for corners. Memo method was roman rooms

    X centres, + centres, wings, midges, corners? Interesting order, typically corners get solved first

    Awesome though. It's a great time for a first 5BLD success. What's even more amazing is that you tried 5 5BLD attempts in one day

    I was thinking that as well. He probably doesn't use journey/roman rooms. It explains his fast first success time, in that he probably does a lot of attempts.

    I prefer to solve corners first, but I had to do them fourth because the midges and corners had parity in this case

    I used the same rooms for every solve... Maybe I'm a little confused as to what roman rooms is, but I associated the memo for each type of piece with a room, essentially
    This was my 10th attempt overall; all the attempts were around that time give or take a few minutes
