Thanks. Yes, it would've been sub-40. I usually need about a minute per cube.Originally Posted by Zane_C
Usually my times are around 14 to 15 minutes. But this attempt was particularly slow. The center images just didn't stick...
And another reason for the looong 5x5x5 part: I went through all 15 cubes before i started memorizing the 5x5x5.
I don't know. Probably Aachen Open next year.
Ramadan Sulejman weekly 21:
MBLD: 13/13 in 59:41 = 13 points
I am mentally wrecked after that MBLD attempt, all those cubes with 3-4 corners twisted in every scramble or buffers in place... The memo was 30min and then refresh for another 15 minutes. This is no good as I will certainly be slower in competition. Need to speed things up but not sure how. This is my 4th(?) week with all 13 cubes success, pluss some 9´ers where I DNF a few cubes. In those attempts I speed up ALOT and that makes my DNF some cubes. I think 3min each cube is perfect and makes me solve the cubes every time.. Whether it is 3 cubes or 13 :S
Um, I"m sorry, but I think this is the wrong thread. Anyone who considers a 13/13 in regulation time to be a failure is too good for their own good, in my opinion.
Oh, and congratulations on all your successes.
Oh, and I'm sometimes faster in competition than I am at home; maybe that will happen to you too! I find that it's not the conditions that matter; it's just the day - some days are good and others are bad. For me, there's no telling which days will be good days and which will be bad ones until I actually try a solve. Whether I'm at a competition or not doesn't really seem to matter.
Perhaps that's me too. The multi competition I went to and failed I got 1:40 and 1:50 BLD DNFs..slow either way you look at it, and the multi went terrible. I'm hoping I have off days too.
My failure-Haven't done a multi since my last competition. Partly Mikes fault ;D.
You're welcome.
But I guess I can one-up you here by giving my most recent failure from last night (which I did in addition to all those 3x3x3 BLD attempts): 7/11 in 60:00 for the weekly competition. My worst result in ages. I couldn't remember one image for the edges on one cube, and I took the whole time trying to remember it. The other cubes were all really close, though.
I remember you saying recently that you think you do better in competition is because you're well rested; I believe you said you do BLD stuff late at night.
Being well-rested mainly helps with speed - I can't be really super fast (relatively speaking, for me) without being well-rested, especially on big attempts (multi or 5x5x5 BLD or bigger). But as for accuracy, even that doesn't seem to matter - I can go without sleep for almost 48 hours and still hit 100% accuracy on a big multi effort, if it's a good day, or I can be very well-rested and still have terrible accuracy, if it's a bad day. It's really surprising to me that this is true.
Oh, and I can even be fast on a 3x3x3 BLD when sleep-deprived; it's only bigger efforts that I can't be fast on if I'm not well-rested.
I did that 7/11 multi last night from 3 to 4 AM. I was definitely sleep-deprived for that one.
I'm not saying I don't stay up late, but why do you? Don't you have work in the morning or something?
Yes I do, I really shouldn't stay up so late. I just can't resist sometimes. I'm going to get some good sleep tonight. Good night.
