Good 5BLD 2 mean for me. First one nearly exec PB but had a 10 sec pause in centers. Last one a second off PB. Still can't break 7:30 :/

6:45.274 4BLD PB in the weekly competition. Also got a 13/14 in 54:27. The mistake was two flipped edges which is annoying, but for my first attempt at 14 I'll take it.

The Mental Breakdown Germany 2017 was the first comp with a second round in 4bld.
Did my first Mo3 in the first round and added another success in the final round (awful scramble: obvious nice centers but 22 wings in 27 targets plus corners-parity).
So I am the first one, who ever solved 4 4bld in a row at an comp :cool::cool::cool::cool:
Jan, István and Marcel got an Ao5.

pretty bad conditions for the attempt, a couple distractions throughout and I was very tired

I had a duplicate scramble that I didn't bother fixing because I was low on time and memorization capacity so I intentionally DNFed (solved it BLD afterwards haha)

My memo was extremely slow for the first 12 or so cubes because of how concerned I was about the duplicate scramble and couldn't focus

Still satisfied with the attempt given those conditions, I also slightly changed my review strategy to allow myself to memo in time which I was happy with

What the hell.

I've seen people realise they have duplicate scrambles maybe half way through memorisation, I don't understand why you didn't tell the judge and get it rescrambled while you memorised other cubes. I guess that's the last thing you want to think about during the attempt.

Fair play for not attempting the scramble, though.

EDIT: My silly accomplishment, only a Mo3 today:

2:02.93, 2:24.38, 2:06.70 = 2:11.34 Mo3

Maybe time for some fingertricks.

I tried to get their attention and fix it like I've done before but they didn't notice me...

What was your review strategy and what did you change it to? I'm still trying to settle on one.

19/20 multibld PB, 58:18.82[40:41.90]. DNF was 2 flipped edges that I missed during the memo stage :(((((((
Fastest memo per cube by a good bit, most points ever + fastest ever attempt at 20 cubes by ~1:30.
I think I'll probably just go for 22 cubes next, going for 20 kinda seems like a waste of time since it is kind of obvious to me now that I am capable of 20 sub-hour.
