Comments:
Attempt #1: 5th: Memorized one corner wrong; 6th: remembered green and solved white

Round 6

Code: 
1. Micael: 13/15 (54:39)    12/15 (58:36)    = 11
2. Jakube:  5/7  (37:05.68)  5/7  (39:00.00) =  3

I will put next scrambles tomorow, so if some people still want to participate... I am wondering how this race could be more popular. Any idea? Should we just close it?
 
MBLD isn't very popular to begin with. It's hard to get people to practice at home.

I'm actually very surprised Mike Hughey hasn't taken part of this race. I was sure he would. I would have participated last round (and should have, my 12/12 I did, I forgot to use these scrambles).

I have no ideas for you Micael.
 
I only had time for one attempt this week, and had to DNF less than a minute into execution due to interruptions. I hope to use this thread to help motivate me for a while yet (since I have a lot of progress to make), though if it dies I can always try to keep it up. I also expected it to be a little more popular.

I'm sorry for not participating, but my top priority is competing in every event for the weekly competition, and that simply leaves no additional time for any extra multis. I would love to participate, but there simply isn't enough time in the week for me. Sorry!
 
-->Let any multi attempts be used here.

So what if htey don't use the scrambles you post? The goal is to get people doing multi amirite? Open it up Micael. Might get more results going (we'd have to advertise maybe, because other people might have seen that you have to use the scrambles posted rule.)

Just a thought. I think the scrambles should be there if people are devoting a multi attempt to this race, but if a multi attempt has been done (aka for weekly race) then ignore the scrambles.
 
Attempt #1: 4/6 in 53:10.53 (~37min)
First cube ended up scrambled. Last was off by a corner 3-cycle (I realized my memo didn't make sense and guessed the wrong target).

Attempt #2: 5/7 in 74:47.90 (~57min)
Two flipped edges on 3rd and 7th cubes. So close...

Round 7:

Attempt #1: 9/9 in 55:14.43 (40:42.00)

Comments:
1st: I´m so happy with this, while solving I never thought that I manage 9/9. I had no problems with recalling the memo, but I really thought, that I messed up 2 or 3 cubes while solving. (2 times I was not sure if the Y-Perm was done correct, and on the 3rd cube I did a setup move incorrect, but luckily I could fix it. )
2nd: I will do this one in the afternoon, but it will not be as big. Maybe 3 or 5 cubes.
 
Attempt #1: 9/15 in 1:06:05 (46:53)
What a fail. :( Memorizing last 5 cubes was eternal. 4 cubes messed up because of poor dexterity (including a pop). One wrong recall and one unseen 2 cycle (stupid to not notice it as edges shown parity, but not corners).
 
Results round 7

Code: 
1. RyanReese09:        10/11 (50:30.48)  DNS              = 9
2. Jakube:              9/9  (55:14.43)  DNS              = 9
3. bobthegiraffemonkey: 4/4  (34:48)     DNS              = 4
4. Micael:              9/15 (1:06:05)   DNS              = 3
5. Walter Souza:        4/6  (53:10.53)  5/7 (1:14:47.90) = 3
6. Zane_C:              2/2  (3:39.03)   DNS              = 2
 
Round 8:

Attempt #1: 5/11 in 1:05:06.02 (48:03.88)
Attempt #2: 7/11 in 1:04:42.94 (41:16.30)


Comments:
Attempt #1: Bad Attempt, off by 2 flipped edges, I forgot to do the Parity alg, I accidental did a R between two setups, ...
I also tried something new with the memo, but it failed. I remembered all right, but it took a long time. (my 10/10 had a memo of 35:51)

Attempt #2: Better than Attempt #1! A good memo-time, but long execution, because I forgot on 3 cubes several things and had to think a long time until I remembered.
4th: One corner and a lot of edges are not solved (?)
8th: Off by a 3-edges-cycle
10th: Off by 2 3-edge-cycles
11th: I forgot to solve the last corner, and so there are several edges wrong.

Round 8:
Attempt 1: 5/5 36:45 (27:45)

Looks like I'm getting the hang of this. Might get in another attempt this round, not sure.
A little off topic: inspired by my success, I tried 4x4 BLD again today, and it was my worst attempt yet at it (hoping for my first success soon, not tried it much).
 
Round 9:

Attempt #1: 6/9 = 3 Points (56:27.80)
Attempt #2: 10/12 = 8 Points (1:24:22.43)

Comments:
Attempt #1: My second try with Roman Rooms. It´s really a fantasic system. I do not have long reviewing phases and after all I forget nothing. But I have trouble with the Letter-Pairs yet. I have to look a lot of them up, because I forget always, which word for which two Letters stands. All 3 DNFs had some corners off, that´s because I´m not used to the new corner-letter system yet. Hope it will be better soon. (Memo: 38:06)
Attempt #2: I´m getting better with Roman Rooms. I have now 5 Rooms with each 15 locations = 10 Cubes. The other two cubes I memorized with sentences. But Memo is so long yet (1:01:54.40). My corner system is working now. All corners were solved. Only a little mistake happend while memorizing, but I relized and corrected it while solving (I should shoot two times to the same location.)
2rd Cube: off by D (so I added +2)
9th Cube: off by 4 edges (I totally forgot about my second location in the 4th room)
10th Cube: off by 2 flipped edges (Didn´t saw the flipped BR while memorizing.)


P.S.: I need more cubes!
