Official sub1 3BLD and 7/7 multi in 41:24

Congo for that. I'm sure you will be able to do a double digit multi soon, sad to hear about your DNF in the last attempt :(

My accomplishment: 14/15 multi offical, and 9/17. 9/17 is accomplishment because it was comfortably sub hour (57:57), I forgot memo on only one of the cubes
 
YES!!!
6BLD success - 42:45.10+ [19:30]
Third attempt and first success. Failed memorizing obliques because of mixing up right/left, making memo time the slowest so far, but I'm really excited I got a success. :) The reason it was a +2 is I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do nothing or U2 at the end, so to avoid having it off by U2, I did a U, so it would be off by one move either way.
Now there are 3 people from Iowa with a sub-50 6BLD success, which means one third of 6BLD solvers from the U.S. are from Iowa. School starts tomorrow, so I'm glad I was able to do it before summer was over. If I do more attempts during the school year, I won't do them super safe now that I have a success.

Part success...part failure. Not really sure where this one belongs haha.

Don't have the scramble for the last one, unfortunately. Also, there was actually a 47.09 success right before the 38.41. Though it doesn't really matter, because I DNFed before making an average of 12 anyway. I tend to get a bit nervous once I realize I'm doing well. I don't really anticipate getting averages of 5 or 12. I mostly just let whatever happens happen, so maybe I'll get a nice average of 12 sometime soon. :p At least I got a nice streak out of this.

yay nice success streak / 39.62 avg9

Finally!!!!!! Successful megaminx BLD!!!!!! My first real attempt! I'd messed around with methods before but couldn't find one I completely liked, so sorta made my own. It worked awesome! Success on my first try! Now I need to try it timed!

Switched to mostly center comms and started using some advanced r2.
 
36.30 3BLD PB on lolscramble (12e|2''c, 2 alg corners :p). Woop sub-NR.

Nice! Would be interested in reading about your method.

I used the general 3-cycle method to actually solve the pieces, the part I came up with was how to get the pieces by the buffer, and also how to memo the cube to make that part much easier. I was thinking of making a video explaining how I did this. Also, how do you know Top 10 is <5 hours?

also i barely beat that with my 4BLD pb now haha

Knew this was going to be fast and a pb during my memo, but my hands weren't warmed up and the execution felt as slow as molasses. Sub 30 will happen one day....(and without a +2 making it over 30 seconds...).

Noah stop being so OP. XD I barely average sub-3:10, and I still get tons of DNFs. I did get a 2:51.74 though. So I have that going for me, which is nice.
 
First 3BLD success: 14:05.021

Second full attempt of the day. Learned Speffz today from Noah's 3BLD guide video, and did some corners only blind solves and edges only blind solves. First DNF full attempt was 9 minutes or so.

When I got it, I jumped onto my bed and screamed "YESS!!!" really loud. Really happy about my first success. Using Old Pochmann edges and corners and standard Speffz letter pairs.
