GloopyGum's progression thread (focusing on blind events)

16/21 in 60:00 (17/21 in 60:37, first time going over an hour lol)
My timer didn't go off at the hour mark, but I'm pretty sure the last cube took me over 37 seconds so I'll just say 16/21

I forgot to do my first review of cubes 7-12 and so had to review them twice when going through the last 1-18 review 💀💀
May post update later about the DNFs
 
Got 2 sub-9 3x3 singles today! The last time I got an 8 second solve was around 3 months ago lol

x' D F' U L R D x' D2 // cross

U R U2 R' U R U' R' // fourth pair

R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // PLL

If I had done the OLL differently (R U' L' U R' U' L) this would've been a PLL skip lol

Two multi attempts, one successful, the other one not so much

1: 20/21 in 58:35 (PB by 1 point!!)
DNF was the very first cube in memo lol, I did an L instead of an L2

2: 18/22 in 60:00
1) forgot corners
2) lost orientation of cube 💀
3) thought my memo was wrong and corrected it, but my memo was actually correct 💀💀
4) probably shot to the wrong edge target because memo was 100% correct

I ran out of time trying to recall the cube that I forgot corners on
 
First sub-5 4bld mean!!
5:12.16, 4:36.24, 4:44.65 = 4:51.02 mo3

On the first solve I had to run all the way downstairs right after starting execution to open the door for my sister, then ran back upstairs and finished the solve lmao. I probably would've gotten a 4:50 ish if everything went normally.
(No, I did not keep my blindfold on while running downstairs so technically it's a DNF but I don't care.)
 
20+ point mbld fail :(

Got 20/22 in 59:30 (took memo way too slowly)
1. ONE FRIGGIN SLICE AT THE VERY END (I could've skipped the last move and +2'ed that cube 🤦🤦
2. Did the edge flipping algorithm between parity alg and corner execution for some reason (if I had done the edge flips at ANY OTHER TIME I would've been fine 🤦🤦🤦)

this is truly a bruh moment
 
Just had one of the craziest blindfolded means ever for me... (this was for the weekly comp too)

(4bld)
1. 4:40.59
Very solid time, 5 seconds off PB single but not anything too crazy

2. 4:20.28
PB single by 15 seconds, and sub-2 execution after slow memo!

3. 4:09.44 (2:00.46 memo!!)
PB single AGAIN by 11 seconds, and a 4:23.44 mean, beating my previous best SINGLE by 12 SECONDS!!

This is gonna be hard to beat

My brother got this stupidly good scramble a while ago...
L2 F L2 B' R2 U2 B U2 F' D2 L2 U R U L2 R B' F

It was a 2 move x-cross into a free pair 💀💀 I don't think I've ever gotten a scramble this good, and I've done 1000s more solves
I want to see what you guys can get on this
Click to expand...
Nice scramble! You can do a pretty standard multislotting trick, so the first three pairs become x2 y L F' U' R' L' U' L R. I got 5.89.

Splits were 20.73 memo, 22.70 exec. Considering that this was a 16 letter scramble, the memo wasn't all that fast, but execution was really good for me
 
Somehow also broke my 3BLD mo3, ao5, and ao12 PBs on the same day

3BLD mo3: 53.95, 1:01.67, 50.70 = 55.44
3BLD ao5: 53.95, 1:01.67, 50.70, 54.21, 1:05.20 = 56.61

Getting sub-1 solves semi-consistently now!

21/24 in 56:25! First decently good result with orozco corners

Also I've only really done 24 cube attempts for the past 5 weeks because I ran out of cubes. I ordered some more cubes, hopefully using 3x3s instead of a 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6 will help me attempt more cubes XD

Last thing: Registered for Don't DNS in Denton, and signed up for everything. My main goals for this comp are:

Sub 1 3BLD single
Maybe 3BLD mean?
Sub 5 4BLD single
Sub 12 5BLD single
Learn clock
Beat @Jorian Meeuse in wr for best first mbld single
 
Probably just had the craziest 3BLD session of my life.

! first dropped my ao12 down to 56.84, which is already really fast for me

Then somehow got my first ever ao25: 1:01.72. I really didn't think it was possible to have a 92% success rate for 25 solves in a row, but I somehow did it.
I kept going, and somehow dropped my ao25 all the way to sub 1!!! Just a few days ago I was super pumped to get a sub 1 ao12, and now I'd gotten a sub 1 ao25!
