Well, I needed some place to post the results of my 7x7x7 BLD attempts. And I just finished my first one:
DNF (2:06:25.20, 1:02:45 memorization)
If you do an R, it is off by 33 pieces. Which sounds terrible, but if you look at the cube, it looks practically solved. The pieces are mostly in strips. It looks like I missed an R as an undo of a setup move. 9 wings wrong, 6 central edges wrong, 6 oblique centers wrong, and 12 other centers wrong.
My memory was totally secure and never a problem at all. The obliques were definitely harder than the rest, but it felt like I got more comfortable with them as I went.
This is definitely harder due to the different color scheme; I wish I could replace the stickers with my standard color scheme.
I want my first successful solve to be a BLD solve. So I'm thinking I'll just apply a new 100-move scramble to the current unsolved cube. Sound like a good way to go? The only negative is that I won't know exactly what scramble I solved.
This was definitely a lot of fun to do - I can't wait for my next try! Tomorrow!
