Hah, thanks! :p

3rd Attempt, 2-7BLD relay 4:10:45.24[2:52:03.47]
Got the 3, 4 and 6. Forgotten the last 4 wings memo for 5, did very wrong execution on 2(mistake while undoing cube rotation). Fail the 7 because of messed up setup moves. Did setup for A, B and undo setup in A' B' instead of B' A'. :fp

Wow - multiple attempts - nice! I've still only tried the once. :( And I've never done an over 4 hour attempt at anything, so you win hands down with that. My biggest attempt of anything ever was just a little over 3 hours (I've done several of those).

Your accuracy is what makes me jealous. You are so much faster than me too in memo and probably execution too.

i recalled memo plenty of times, dont know where i went wrong :(
First cube solved (last memod) was off by a 3 corner cycle, and second solved (first memod) off by 3 edges :(

If it's just one and you reviewed the scramble to make sure it was actually a twist on that corner and wasn't a memorization mistake, I'd still count it as PB, probably, depending on how honest I was feeling at the moment.

What do you mean a memo mistake? the corner itself was twisted during the solve, I mean physically twisted to an unsolvable state. The corner was my Classic Pochmann buffer so it's not even something I care about during memo.

Decided to try 5BLD on the way back from Canberra. Untimed, but probably spent about 30-40 mins on it.

DNF, off by 4 +centres, 2 xcentres and 6 wings. Not bad for a first attempt, although I have no idea where I made the mistakes.

2/7 MBLD In 53:46. I Had my memory really secure is was almost sure I was going to 100%, sadly I did not.

Cube 1 (7th in memo): Off by 6 corners and 8 edges. I'm assuming I did a setup wrong, not to mention I think I forgot an edge pair.
Cube 2 (6th in memo): Off by 5 edges. No idea what went wrong.
Cube 3 (5th in memo): Off by 3 edges. No idea what went wrong.
Cube 4 (4th in memo): Off my something like M'UM, don't know how. I'm really sad I messed this one up because the memo was so easy.
Cube 5 (3rd in memo): Off by four edges (2 flipped and a 3 cycle) I knew I would get this wrong because I forgot the first edge pair.
Cube 6 (2nd in memo): Solved
Cube 7 (1st in memo): Solved

The only productive thing that came up from this is a new recall style that helped solidify memo.

A 3:48 3BLD (PB) DNF :\ The corner memo was very easy to remember "TPC XD U" - TuPaC XD yoU and REALLY easy to execute with old pochmann (speffz lettering scheme, all setup moves are just 1 move). Can't believe I failed it... I failed because I thought there was parity when actually there wasn't. 3BLD is getting easier and easier though :)
