That was me... Your second cube was off because you had two twisted corners or something like that.

It was a different MBLD attempt at my house the next day.

2nd BLD attempt, I was one alg off grr DNF(7:38.37) Don't know how though.

Time for a 3rd attempt.

[AbstractAlg]

First try 4BLD - DNF(time-unknown).

Memo: centers, edges, corners.
Solve: corners, centers (2 left, but I forgot which ones so I knew that cube won't be solved and that pissed me so I stopped although I could finish up all the edges.

However, pretty nice, I was amazed how well I understand comms.

Method: corners - comms, centers - comms, edges - r2.

P. S. did first sighted 5BLD solve. OMG, I LOVE BLD.

My first try to 23 cubes in multi: 19/23 in 58:24.20 [33:15]
2x I skipped one word in the cycle
2x I don't know where I did mistake

Knowing my accuracy I think that the month will pass or two (or three) before I will do it completely : F

So fast. How many attempts do you do every week?

[Maskow]

In this week I did 5 (I count only attempts with 20+ cubes) but it isn't a rule. There are a weeks when I did only 1-2 and weeks when I try to do one attempt per day.

That's crazy. You must enjoy doing attempts quite a lot!

Wow! This explains you fast progress. I don`t think anyone did this much multi practice before.
When I tried managing 15 cubes in 1 hour, I did 3 attempts per week, currently only 1 per week.
Keep up the good work and you will soon beat Zane.

8x8x8 BLD, fifth try: DNF [1:13:25.41, 37:05, 6iO 2C] (still no successes)

For the 6 obliques, I was able to determine certainly that I applied one commutator to the wrong orbit, accounting for all 6 pieces. The corners being twisted was inexcusable - I really should spend a few more seconds memorizing corners before I start - this is ridiculous.

I realize that considering my 7x7x7 BLD accuracy is around 20%, I shouldn't feel bad about missing my first 5 tries at 8x8x8, but this is starting to get disappointing.

Maybe your target should be for an nxnxn cube?
