For the weekly competition:
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: DNF (1/6, 60:00, 34:30 memorization)
So why so awful? I was doing the corners with no preorient, commutators only. I used BH algorithms for all the ones I already know, and tried to figure out good ones for everything else. I only had one 13-move algorithm; the rest were 12 or fewer, so mostly close to optimal.
And it really went pretty well, at least as far as the solving went. The first cube had just 2 edges flipped - I forgot to do them. The second had 3 corners I cycled the wrong direction (a commutator type from BH that is still new to me and I got confused). The third had 3 edges that I cycled wrong somehow. The fourth was correct - woot! The fifth was bad simply because I mismemorized the corners; I executed it perfectly, though. The sixth was a failure because I couldn't remember all of it - that's why I went all the way to 60 minutes, I was trying to remember it. After I gave up, I looked at the cube for a second and refreshed my memory, and was able to solve it from there just fine.
So as bad as it was, it's still encouraging. I think I'll try again next week - I suspect it will go lots better. Also, my memorization was really bad on this one for some reason - I just couldn't memorize. It felt kind of like it did at the Ohio Open.
BH is fun! I can't wait until I really start knowing most of the cases. (I've still got a long way to go.)
