I knew Old Pochmann wasn't center safe, but didn't know how it affected the centers. If I have a multiple of 4 for corner targets I'll do them first from now on.
If you get a success you'll probably be top 10 in Oceania for years.

Anyway, 13/17 50:37.52[29:13.72]

I think I'll skip multi tomorrow (I've been doing 1-2 a day) and see if that helps.

I'd be last though. Nathan and Bryson both average about 8 minutes I think, and Brock has a 13 min official success but he's probably around 8 mins too.

Feliks 3:37
Zane 5~
Bryson 8
Nathan 8
Brock <13

Then whenever you have a comp maybe 5 mins?

and then Aron had several 2 minute 4bld successes back when he was practising, he said he'll probably drop out, but if he gets a success it'd be at most about 7 mins.

I don't want a sup 20 success whilst everyone else is sub 10 :p

Anyway a 4bld tip from a nub, if you have even corners (2 4 6 8 10) then you can just do 2 yperms when it's done to make sure centres are fine (get it to a multiple of 4).

If you have an odd number, just make sure you do yperm and multiple of 4 times and at the end you'll have your buffer and the setup place swapped.

Woah, he was WR level?

I probably won't bother with odd corners, but this is good information.

26/28 in 59:33 on video, I somehow managed to nudge one of my last cubes so it span 180 degrees before I got to pick it up :mad: I'll try for 27/27 before uploading, I think.
Nice. What's your review system?

Nice. What's your review system?

Memo 1,2,3,4, review row
Memo 5,6,7,8, review row
Review 1-8
Memo 9,10,11,12, review row
Memo 13,14,15,16, review row
Review 9-16
Memo 17,18,19,20, review row
Memo 21,22,23,24
Review 1-24
Then 4 cube multi at the end :)

It's a 'safe' system. Once I build up some speed with 27 (i.e. down to around 50 mins) I will adjust the amount of times I review to accommodate for 30+ cubes.

Yeah I'm about Bryson and Nathan's speed at home at full pace but comps is a different story. BLD is the only event I'm terrible at in comps. Oh well, 4bld at Adelaide will be fun though.<3

dont need to worry bro only done 2 solves in the last 3-4 weeks :p ill do like 3-5 today as practice plus Nathan isn't going anymore. so hopefully because im not as fast I can get a success because ill be less nervous (hopefully)

Multiquoting is too much effort for phone.

Aron had multiple sub 3 successes when the WR was sup 4. He quit cubing for about 2 years and told me on steam he'll probably pull out of 4bld (as will I)
Here's a 4bld from 2010 http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?26273-4bld-3-09&p=504733&viewfull=1#post504733

Nathan isn't coming? :(
Anyway I'll MAYBE do 4bld at ausnats.

Also Brock we'll get to your house in an hour or two. Sorry for keeping you up so late, we should've left much earlier in the day :p

Awesome. I only review every row, but I'm probably a lot slower than you.
Just tried doing a 17 multi, memoing 1-12 like a big multi, then doing a 5 cube multi at the end.

14/17 52:52.52[28:50.34]

It seems I'm just getting worse. I don't think the different way of doing it was a factor.
2 twisted corners, 2 flipped edges, 2 flipped edges.

I messed up the first cube badly. It's a zhanchi that hasn't been lubed in months, I think that's the problem.
One missed flipped egde during memo, and one missed twisted corner during memo.

I also had a pause of about 5 minutes on the 4th to last cube.
