I don't think 28 points is WR2

whoops yeah, typo :p

Yeah WR5 actually but WR2 if you're just counting number of cubes solved in under an hour! Amazing job man. How many cubes did you finish in under the hour limit?

yeah :p Thanks! I was trying to remember one of the three cubes I had put aside during execution as I had forgotten some part of their memo. so except those everything was done sub hour :)

Well done. Comms is my project for after the UK Championships. I've yet to use one in a solve. Do you have a plan for incorporating more?

Thank you! I plan to switch to edge comms before corner comms actually, because (using M2) they're far easier to understand for me. I already learned edge comms for 2 letters and will slowly learn more.

Already do quite advanced M2 so I'm only bothering to learn a couple more of the harder M slice cases. Corner comms will be of much more benefit to me but it's going to be a hard slog.

The thing is, when I looked into advanced M2 I found it awesome and easy to understand and all that. But at the same time I looked at "real" edge comms and they're not really different from advanced M2 to me, just slightly more efficient, hence my decision.

And I find corner comms more confusing in general, maybe because more setup moves are needed and more stickers on each piece.

If you're not already invested in advanced M2 then edge comms makes sense.
I've been looking at corners for a while and am only just getting an idea of how they work. The plan is to do nothing else for a couple of months to try and make them click and hopefully I can cut my execution time in half. It should be worth it.

My attempt at procrastinating important work: 3BLD OH.
First attempt, 3:47.14[43.87] success :)
Though I don't think I'll do that again, M2 OH is such a pain in the ass lol.
I've been wanting to develop a OHBLD method for fun, something that's actually efficient to use one handed. Hm....
also i'm a monster today? Broke my 4bld PB TWICE IN A ROW
IVE NEVER EVEN GOTTEN 2 SUCCESS IN A ROW BEFORE
6:40.97, 6:07.10

3:39.xx[2:20.xx]+ 3BLD PB by a whole lot.
Mostly just because I tapped 2 twisted corners and a flipped edge instead of memoing them, which would have taken longer.
"xx" because I was at school and was timing it on my watch-timer.


Also, first 6 cube MBLD attempt.
5/6 59:49.81[50:33.45]

Oh gosh my memo sucks lol. The only unsolved cube was the normal bld one. There are 6 unsolved edges, though I'm not sure what I did wrong.
Overall, it felt really good, and I didn't have trouble remembering anything.

I think without an extra ten minutes, 7 cubes is going to take some actual improvement in 3BLD to be sub time-limit.
But I'm still going to go for 4/4 and 6/6 before 7.

M2 its an OH table abuse nightmare, but TuRBo and 3-cycle aren't that bad.
that's what i was thinking, 3 cycles and maybe a decent corner cycle alg may not be to bad, maybe one day I'll actually get around to it

4bld 6:03.12 ;) so so so close to sub-6, my goal is sub-5. Right now it's just my letter pair recognition on edges slowing me down, my memo is "alright", i have no problems retaining the information. I only review my edges so i can double check that i didnt overlook anything.

edit: FIRST SUB-40!!! 39.03 BARELY and this was WITH parity
editx2: just realized this gives me a pb mo3 too! 41.55, 59.87, 39.03 = 46.82
