how to recognize the cut between corners and edges (or the other way around) if you are using a 2 letters 1 image memorizing method?

Random observation from WCA rankings: multiblind PRs increase close to exponentially. Of those competitors with PR >=N points, 40-48% have PR >=(N+5). That holds from 5 all the way to 30 points.

That's probably not surprising, but still I found it interesting.

Maybe nobody posts here because there's too much overlap with the success/failures threads? This result feels like neither, so I'll put it here.

Missed PR by doing the final comm backwards, and missed NR by an additional flipped edge (not sure if I missed it, tracing error, or exec error).


19/21 in 59:09 [40:50; 18:19]
2:49/cube [1:56/cube; 52/cube]
Memo was slow but I knew I wasn't in a rush; exec was decent, and would have been 50/cube without the recall pause at the end.

So on my 'journey' to get some 9/9's so I can increase my number of cubes, I just got a 8/9 in 26:29[16:27] Cube 3: UF and UB flipped. Which, by time, is a new PB by 6 minutes. The average memo per cube is sub 2 which is pretty cool. Execution could've been faster but since I started learning 3 style algs for corners, I went slower during those algs and almost messed up one aswell. My 3bld has recently gotten faster and so I think that played its part in all this.
This is also my second 8/9 so I am quite happy with this. Kinda hating how easy the memo is for 9 cubes and it takes only 30 mins so I keep up my big attempts every now and then to get used to those rooms.
