    DNF (4:58.92), DNF (quit), 4:25.18, DNF (4:15.23)

    After an abysmal performance at worlds and only 3 days until my next comp, I decided it is time to get some of the speed that has abandoned me back. But it's not as easy as I thought it would be to be sub4 again :/

    DNF 3:11.04, I have no idea what the heck happened. It was just a complete fail. I literally was scrambling it up again.
    If you are watching someone getting bullied, then you are as bad as the bully himself.

    7BLD DNF(1:03:25.06)[29:59]

    Most of the cube is solved, I clearly turned the wrong slices.
    Memo was slow and didn't stick, I have plenty of room for improvement with the obliques (both memo and exec).

    23/25 (51:33.08)[32:34]

    -3 edges, I did a 3-cycle in the wrong direction.
    -2 flipped edges, I memorised one flipped edge, but there was one I missed.

    Zane, have you gotten >22 cubes under an hour? (if my memory is correct you have a 22/22) Those times are insane. Good luck getting success.

    Thanks Tim, I don't think I've even tried 22 cubes before, my best x/x score is 20/20.

    First 4x4 centres attempt:

    DNF(6:23.27) off by 7

    Should've been much faster but I forgot to do two pairs, did the next two, then undid them and did the ones I'd forgotten.

    Funniest 3BLD avg5 ever:

    Average of 5: 1:07.75
    1. (37.71) D B' D R' B D2 U F2 B R D' F2 D2 F R' B D B F L2 D U' R B' L2
    2. 1:36.00 F' B' L' F2 L2 F D2 L F' D2 R' B2 U F' D2 U B2 F2 R U' L2 R2 D U F'
    3. (DNF(40.19)) L2 F' L F2 R U' B' L R U' F U B' F D F R L2 B L' U2 L2 B L2 U2
    4. 45.88 R2 L U' R' F' D2 B' D' L' R2 B U' F2 L' R2 B' U2 F2 B2 L U D' L' R' U2
    5. 1:01.38 L' R U' B' R' F2 U' L' F2 R' D2 R B R L F2 B R' U2 F' U' D F2 L D'

    Solve 1: Try the scramble, you'll understand.
    Solve 2: Put down the blindfold, done 2-3 moves and then "Wait, what am I doing? This commutator doesn't work for this case, obviously... which was the optimal solution? Oh, yes, this one. F**k, time goes by... well, let's try not to DNF this". Then I mixed up corners and edges memo, so I had to undo some commutators, and had a pause at the final 2 edges.
    Solve 3: It was going to be a very good solve, but I left a separeted 3-cycle at the end: it was L->O->U->L with my letter scheme, and I executed L->U->O->L
    Solve 4: Normal/nice solve.
    Solve 5: The cube popped in the middle of a TuRBo alg. However, I managed to find the edge piece on the table, put it back and finish the alg without screwing up. Luckily, I inserted it with the correct orientation.
