28.03 BLD on camera. It should have been a 26-27 though, because I accidentally did a cycle in the wrong order (XN instead of NX), so I had to do the reverse alg twice. Oh well.

I sometimes do this, then get annoyed when I remember I should have just done the wrong alg again.

Yea, I've had the problem many times in the past. A lot of the time I will still do what you do.

But I am trying to fix it.

7x7 BLD: DNF

Sixth attempt

[43:00 memo, 1:18:41 total, 4 lob, 4 rob, 8 ox, 6 o+, 4 ow]

I had 4 1x5 bar centers messed up on opposite sides. I must have screwed up when shooting to Ul outer wing because the other wings that were wrong succeeded that in my memo. Other than that, I had 2 o+ centers I must have memo'd wrong or something.

You're getting close

I hope you get it soon

btw what do you average on 4BLD and 5BLD ?

My retaliatory response:

DNF(17:59.04[7:54]) off by 6 obliques

5x5x5 BLD - 12:14.73 [5:54] DNF

My train of thought:

1. Oh my god, he's going to sub-19
2. Oh, this isn't the accomplishment thread?
3. Oh, pop.
4. Oh nooooes.

Currently on an 11 DNF streak. Don't know what has happened. The last solve I took twice as long as usual, and still DNFed.

First 5BLD that I have done in like 8-9 months: off by 5 midges. I think I did an M3 during midges. I'm pretty surprised how close I was with that long of a break.

If you did an M3, surely you would have some centres wrong as well? If it was just 5 midges it would have been a midge error in choosing the right target or something like that.

MultiBLD: 3/6 in 40 something minutes. Memo was strong.

Fails: 2 flipped edges
2 twisted corners
3 twisted corners which i remembered before doing placing the corners. During exec I forgot them

I did an H-perm on one of the cubes :3
I'm seriously considering becoming a BLD solver

Well, it was 5 midges and an M. Just didn't think it needed to be mentioned.

6x6x6 BLD - DNF (1st try)
I didnt take the time, but i solved VEEEEEEERY slow, execution ~ 25 minutes.
I learned A LOT on that execution. Memo is pretty easy, no problems with that. I learned a lot about solving oblique centers. While solving, i knew that i did some mistakes so i wasnt nervous at all. I will do another one later i think.

Greetings, Dennis

Do you use U2 also to solve obliques ?

Yes i do. Oleg (DrKorbin) helped me to find the algorithms. Thanks again.
