Is a 9BLD memo longer or shorter than a 2-7? Thanks!

9BLD = 6o + 3x + 3t + 3w + .5e + .5c = 16 rooms (stories)
2-7relay = .5c + (.5c + .5e) + (1x + 1w + .5c) + (1x + 1t + 1w + .5c + .5e) + (2x + 2w + 2o + .5c) + (2x + 2w + 2o + 2t + .5c + .5e) = 23 rooms (stories)

No, 2-7 relay is ~30% longer to memorize than 9x9

Missed 3BLD NR by 0.26s at Euros... :/
Scramble was also quite easy so should have been quite a bit faster...

Also only successful solve in the final round was 46.xx which is just bad...

Oh, and also missed 3BLD mo3 NR by 2 flipped edges in the first round.

Not cool.

O_o Wow. How does that compare to a 10x10BLD?

Following the pattern, I'm guessing a 10x10 would be 12o + 4x + 4w + .5c = 20.5 rooms, so still less than a 2-7 relay. And an 11x11 would be 12o + 4x + 4w + 4t + .5e + .5c = 25 rooms.

Attempted 6BLD for the first time today for the weekly competition. It was a DNF and the time was 45:38.05 with 18:18 memo. Went really safe and memo was solid, but I messed up and had to undo moves three or four times, and I think I missed layers a bunch of times because it wasn't even close except for a few blocks of solved pieces. The number of pieces that ended up solved was 34 centers, 18 wings, and 4 corners. I'll probably try again tomorrow, and maybe practice getting the right layers. If I ever get a success, I'll be the third person from Iowa to get a 6BLD success (and possibly youngest ever to do it (I'm 13), but I'm not sure).

Do I sense another try at 10BLD Roman?

Stupid question or....

Yeah I will upload that because it was sub40 afterall. A soon as I get the video from my friend

21/23 1:02:30.29+[36:40.30]

Memo was quite slow. 21/21 seems more doable now anyway.

5BLD 10:17.52 DNF by 3 edges

pretty sure my last success was at nats

 

[thatkid]

Ausnats - all these attempts done in one sitting in about 80 minutes

5BLD 1 - 3 edges 19:46
5BLD 2 - 4X 2 midges ~19
4BLD 1 - bunch of wings sup10
3BLD 1 - 4 flipped edges
3BLD 2 - success 2:21
3BLD 3 - messed up
4BLD 2 - messed up 7:03

Another 2-7 relay attempt. Time: 1h 35m [1h 02m].
2 centers on 6x6 and a lot of pieces at 7x7. I was very sleepy though... I don't know what went wrong. Probably I will do a few more attempts till the end of the summer.

Second attempt at 6BLD - DNF 45:01.51 [18:45]
Memo was slower than first attempt, I had to re-memo inner x-centers because of a mistake. This was WAY closer than my first attempt, and it ended up being off by 10 left obliques, 8 right obliques, 10 outer x-centers and 6 outer wings. I'm surprised that all inner x-centers and inner wings were solved, because I always worry about missing inner layers. I guess being extra careful of inner layers helped. I also solved corners before everything else (as opposed to at the very end) because I noticed after memorizing them that they were all 3-cycles I could do. The scramble I used was from last week's Weekly Competition.

I have a feeling you'll be the first to get a 2-7BLD success. No one else has right?

Today:
17/21 MBLD
4:50 4BLD by 3 centers

Brandon Mikel has an attempt off by a threecycle on 7x7 and Mike Hughey also got very close to it (like two wings on 6x6 or so).

6/11 48:55 at ausnats

time was good, accuracy not that much

 

[Hari]

Official 4/10 multi in 58.xx skipped the very first room in my memo while exec and realized it when I had just 4 cubes left and 3 rooms.. Was too tired to backtrack my memo, so skipped the 4th cube from the end and did the last 3 correct along with the very first one. All others off by a room
