After taking your BLD mask off, which one do you look at first? the Cube or the Timer

[riffz]

The cube. Then I know how to react to a fast time:

Solved --> *fist pump Nakajima style*
DNF --> :fp

After doing BLD for over 3 years now and probably thousands of opportunities to figure that out, I just realized I couldn't answer that question right away.

I look at the timer. I'd rather have a fast DNF than a slow success.

And it's way more exciting to see if it's a solved cube on a good time, than the other way around.

The cube, better a succes and a crappy time than a DNF and a good time.

I like slow DNF's, but I'll always look at the cube first.

I try to look at both at the same time

 

[shelley]

Well when my glasses are off I can't see the timer without getting really close. So the cube.

 

[Feryll]

I like slow DNF's

What? You do? And why the possessive tense?

 

[Sir E Brum]

It depends on how I think the solve went and how fast I did it.
Fast and I think it's solved: Cube then timer
Fast and I am sure I DNF'd: Cube then timer
Slow and I think it's solved: Timer then cube
Slow and I am sure I DNF'd: Timer then cube then facepalm.

The cube, especially when doing multi or bigcubes.
Unless I know that I dnf'ed of course, then I look at the timer first.

 

[rjohnson_8ball]

First I check the timer to be sure it is stopped, and stop it if needed. Then I look at the cube.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Certainly the cube.
