First multi-bld attempt: 1/2 in 17:53.00[11:07.12].

Scrambles:

1. U2 B F U2 L2 R2 B F' L2 B' F2 U2 R' D U F2 L F L R2 D' U' R' F2 D R' B2 L2 D' U2
2. R' B' F' L2 B2 F' L' U' L' R' B' U2 L2 F' U L' R' B2 F2 L' R B2 F D2 U' L2 U' B L2 B'

The second cube failed because I picked it up yellow on top, green on front. I normally do it white on top green on front. FAIL

I accidentally Harvard Spring.

MBLD: 4/7 58:11 [~45]

3BLD:
DNF ~3:30
DNF ~2:20 (two flipped edges)
DNF ~2:05 (two twisted corners)

Definitely had first competition jitters. Hopefully they're all behind me now.

lol scramble, bad memo (I didn't believe there were so many pieces already solved), good TPS (at least).

8x8x8 BLD tenth attempt: DNF [1:12:00.73, 36:45, 4mW 4iW 8iX 8mX 18iO 6mO 8oO].

This is getting frustrating. It looks like it was a bad result with 56 pieces wrong, but it looks to me like all but 2 of the pieces might be accounted for by my turning the wrong slice for one turn in one of the commutators. And I had a spot where I asked myself, "Did I turn the wrong slice there?" Unfortunately, I couldn't remember things well enough to figure out whether or not that was the actual slice I messed up.

Look at it this way - All the DNFs will make the successes that much more satisfying :D

I didn't save the first 5 or 6 attempts, but I'm planning to make a video with all my reactions to the DNFs that I've saved. So I guess it also means more for that. :) My reaction this time wasn't very fun, though - I was not surprised by the result because of that spot where I thought I might have turned the wrong slice.

Practicing 4BLD today, I've only ever had one success which was around 30mins (I didn't time it.) All my attempts today have been around 15mins (inc memo) and I'm either completely out from forgetting a set up, or I'm just a couple of centres out.

Can anyone offer any tipsfor centres? In particular 2 cycles, I'm SO close it's painful.

When you come back from having been invisible for almost a year and tell me this, I feel I have no choice. I'll do it just for you, Dennis! :) Nice to see you back.

What an honor:cool:
Yeah true. I had a long break. But i always went on cubing. I just didnt do any big MULTI attempts and so on. But i feel like doing it again.. I never stopped cubing. I just didnt do anything "big".

Greetings, Dennis
