My first attempt at 6 cubes multi - 4/6 29:26.83

Cube 3 and cube 4 were both off by 2 flipped edges.

1) L' R2 D2 U F D' R2 F2 U B2 R L D' F2 U2 R2 B' F' L R' F2 R B2 F' U'
2) D' B' D L' U' D2 B' U' L2 B L F B' D2 B2 R' U2 L B F R U2 L2 R2 D'
3) D' F2 B' D L2 F' R D2 R F' B2 R' L F' L2 D2 R D B U2 B' F D R' U
4) B F' U2 L2 F D2 F' D L2 R U2 F2 B' L' D2 R' D2 U2 B2 F' D2 U' L' R F
5) F B' R2 L F B U2 B2 D' R2 L' B2 F2 D F' L F2 U' R B U B2 L2 B R'
6) U' R' F L' B' D2 F2 D B2 L' D' F L2 R' U L U' R2 F2 R2 D' U' R2 D2 F'

6/8 in 29:47 (last cube was 2 flipped edges, third was D' L then 5 corners)
0/4 (lol) in 9:29.58 (2 cubes off by 2 twisted corners, one off by 3 corners, and two of them had a missing M2)

I thought I would try a journey method for multi:

2/5 in a little over an hour, the memo was about 40 minutes. The first 2 were correct, the second was off by 2 twisted corners :confused:, the other two I knew weren't solved cause I bumped into problems where I forgot where the edge cycles turned into a corner cycles, I tried to work backwards but that didn't work out.

Overall I am pleased with this as until exploring this system today my largest attempt is 3 cubes. (I only got 1/3 btw)
So how do most people eliminate the problem of confusing cycles, this doesn't worry me that much cause I know I could just imagine a trail of fire across where the cycles end or something simular.

I've never really had a problem with this. I guess I've always seen my routes to be in two parts, one for edges and one for corners.

A bigger problem, in my opinion, is when the same image appears several times in a single multiBLD session. Seriously, John Howard was in my 6/8 about 3 times.

EDIT: Actually I think I do have this problem sometimes, when doing bigcube centers. Since I use any U center for a buffer, sometimes I forget when I change buffer. I just tell myself a few times, when the buffer changes, and hope I don't forget.

 

[Zane_C]

Ok thanks, I think I'll give my corners and edges seperate routes, then that will be better.

23:46 min 5x5BLD-DNF

Two t-centers wrong, used visual on those.
3 mid-edges wrong, switched two images when executing so that resulted in a wrong cycle.

But on the good side: new "PB" by 4 min.

 

[Zane_C]

1/5 in 46 minutes :fp
I should of atleast got 2 more of them because they were easily avoidable mistakes on two of them.

DNF 11.67 speed BLD off by 2 flipped edges, memo was slightly over 8min. Scramble: R B2 D' R B' U2 L2 U F2 B2 U L' R' U' L2 F L D' R2 D L R2 F' L2 R'
Memo for F2L took only 2min, but I missed a really nice solution cos of rushing (52 moves instead of 33).

Wow, very nice. Go for the Guinness World Record! (10 minutes inspection, solve blindfolded, only solving time counts.) You'll be pretty hard to beat with this; even Haiyan would have trouble beating you. And imagine if you got a 33 move solution!

Lucas has been that fast before, so Ville is not the first. On the other hand, the idea of finding a 33-move solution in just a little more time (which it seems like Ville is implying was possible here) is totally mind-boggling.

I was hoping to get an average of 12
1:54.08, 1:40.37, 1:43.61, 1:52.56, 1:59.80, DNF(2:27.58), DNF(1:41.25)

So many mistakes I had to undo during both memo and execution on the 2:27 and after all the trouble it had 2 flipped edges, I think I skipped a corner during the execution of the last one.

Welcome to 4x4 BLD faz .

2/3 multi on a stupid mistake that could have easily been avoided by realising my buffer was solved. First cube off by A perm.

 

[MatsBergsten]

I attempted 7x7BLD for the first time this morning. Have done three training solves (with bld algs but without memo) the last days. Now the real thing:

First I memo for 65 minutes. Really meticulous so nothing shall go wrong.
Then I start to solve and on the very first commutator for corners I physically slip, almost drop the cube. Am not really sure if I got it right, so I guess and solve the first pair. I admit, then I peeked and checked and it was wrong (I did not like the thought of solving for anther hour and finding the corners wrong).

I don't like the 7x7. I will not make another try in the near future.
