Just finished a great 3bld session! My memo has improved a lot recently and I've dropped my global like 1.5 seconds in a couple weeks :)

Session was 64/100 at 24.34 mean; single/mo3/ao5/ao12 = 20.89/21.86/22.51/24.56
None of those averages are PBs, but I'm really proud of the 21.86 mo3 cus it was 10 algs, 10 algs, 9 algs, and my PB mo3 (21.12) was on much easier scrambles (9, 10, and 8 algs)

I also like to look at the incremental mean when DNFing the slowest solves when i get over 60% accuracy like this, which is:

24.08 mean @ 60%
23.58 mean @ 50%
23.09 mean @ 40% :)

40 of the 64 successes were sub-25 yay

I did the best mbld result ever yay

53/56 in 59:00[37:54]

40.61 memo/cube
22.61 exec/cube

DNFs:
- overlooked a flipped edge
- did the alg for UF UR BR instead of UF UR FR, very weird and rare mistake
- hand slipped and missed a slice/did an extra turn during a corner alg

no recall mistakes :p

Memo splits:

memo+review 1-8: 3:13
memo+review 9-16: 3:19
review 1-16: 2:33
memo+review 17-24: 3:22
memo+review 25-32: 3:20
review 17-32: 2:30
review 1-32: 4:56
memo+review 33-40: 3:42 (includes 9 seconds of moving cubes around)
memo+review 41-48: 3:20
memo+review 49-55: 3:09
review 33-55: 4:10
memo 56: 0:19

EDIT: forgot to mention I also did this for weekly comp lol

5:04.26 4BLD PB! The scramble is below. I spent an extra 15 ish seconds reviewing because the memo was so good (about 2:15 before review), so sub 5 is coming soon.
Probably gonna stop 4BLD until I finish UFR corners, as I have a competition with 3BLD in mid March and my single sucks right now lmao.

4BLD NC SR coming at SE champs ;)

16/24/6', 24 algs. x' after scramble in orientation.

Should I practice 4 or go on to like 5?
If you're able to get 5/6 in 51:40, it makes sense to practice 6 or 7. Of course, it can also be beneficial to occasionally practice smaller numbers and go for speed. But I think it's helpful to regularly push yourself for the maximum you can somewhat safely do in an hour. 5/6 shows you're able to handle 6.

Just got a 4/5 in 28:36[20:38] Which means avg memo per cube is 4 mins. Comparing that to my previous attempt about 18 hours ago (yesterday afternoon), is amazing. The avg memo per cube for that was 7 mins. Obviously this attempt was one cube less than yesterday's but I think the improvement between just these two solves is incredible.
