2x2 with feet with static memo? (kinda makes sense?)

You're getting close.

I just tried the third scramble (I DNFed the first one), and I got a new PB:

11:27.21 [1:37 memorization]

Spoiler

No parity really helps.

This is kind of fun!

@trying: We have a winner!

I only know of one other person who ever did it: Tim Sun (who has had MUCH better times than this at it). Anyone else? Like Maarten, maybe? Or maybe Daniel has already tried it this week and gotten it but hasn't reported it yet.

It's fascinating how it feels just like doing 3x3x3 BLD on Ryan Heise's old simulator. Except that this way you can look at the cube when you're done if you got it wrong, so maybe you can learn from your mistakes.

Wow Mike, that's pretty crazy! Very cool!

Thanks - I'm happy. I've tried several times before over the past couple of years and never wound up with anything better than a completely scrambled cube. And my first try tonight was pretty scrambled too, although I did have a completely solved middle layer. So I was totally amazed when the second one was solved!

Update on 3x3x3 WF: Stackmat!

9:24.75 [1:32]

Also, I got a full average for the weekly competition!

(DNF), 18:34.18, 11:27.21, 10:11.03, (9:24.75) = 13:24.14

On the last one I was going as fast as I could to try to stackmat it, and at the very end I really thought I had turned the cube wrong. But I kept going, and it was correct!

Okay, I'm probably not going to try that again anytime soon. Whew, it's a lot of work!

Very nice Mike, I'm sure if I tried that I would constantly lose where I was.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

You guys took way too long to guess.

 

[Tim Major]

Wow, judging by the times I assumed WF, but I thought I had to be wrong. And sub 10? Awesome. How many moves do you think you average? I would've assumed much slower times.

What is WF?

 

[Zane_C]

With feet.

 

[kinch2002]

Crazy Crazy Crazy!
Congrats on the successful average!

Btw I haven't tried feet yet. Probably do that tomorrow

 

[Yes We Can!]

I guessed right!

Wow, that's unbelievable! I can't believe you are that patient ^^ But that's nothing compared to 7x7BLD! When are you trying 7x7 multi BLD again?
Btw, how about a WF multi? xD

off topic: my new blindfolds say "wecan" on them

Heh. That could be a while; it takes me well over 2 hours to do a 7x7x7 multi (and that's for just 2 of them). I don't have that much contiguous time uninterrupted very often. But I'll try it the next time I get the chance. There's a chance my wife might be going on a weekend retreat in a few weeks; maybe I'll have a chance then. But a multi with feet does sound interesting; 2 cubes would just be 20 minutes or so, so it's not too overwhelming. Maybe I'll have to try it sometime soon.

@aronpm: Thanks for getting us started with your big BLD effort last week.

Further on, I can type my 3x3 blind pb with just four digits. Finally...

YES MAARTEN!!

 

[Daniel Wu]

Wow. Everyone's so good. Just starting to practice 3x3 BLD because I need to improve at it. 14th solve was a PB for me 3:30.21. My former PB was 4:59.xy.
