21s is impressive! I'm trying to think of my biggest improvement in one PB now! I don't think I've ever done that much! When I wake up, I hope there will be another post for me, which says you have achieved sub1:50

 

[Pedro]

good job, Mike!

I tried the scramble...got 1:10 DNF 23s memo...don't know where I messed up...

What did the scramble end up like? I had (UBR,UFR) (DL,RF)

 

[Pedro]

oh, I'm not sure...I had the FUD block solved...some pieces wrong at the back

 

[happa95]

2x2 BLD PB: 42.92 (still have only gotten 5 successful 3x3 BLD solves...) I wish 2x2 BLD was an event!!!

 

[malcolm]

1:28.xx DNF by 2 flipped edges, would have been a PB by about 12 seconds.. Also got a 1:36 DNF and a few other sub-2 successes

I really wish it weren't. I've done 15sec 2x2 BLD... it's really lame when you just use a speedsolving method on it.

WAO I JUST GOT SUB-2 AS WELL !!!!!

I still can't believe it, it does feel amazing, yes !!!

So the time is 1:47.44 !! Plus I got it on video, so you guys could see my crazy reactions at the end I will upload it tomorrow...

Thanks Mike for the scramble, and Joey and Timothy for the encouragement !!

Awesome! Ugh, you beat me by 10 seconds. Anyway, yes, it does feel amazing! Congratulations!

First 2x2 BLD.

Lame, I know, haha, but still an accomplishment for me.

Now, off to do a 3x3.

 

[KConny]

I got my first sub2 the other day. 1:46.41. My best time ever, including DNF's.

 

[NoahE]

First post!

3x3 PB 2:05 using Macky's 3 cycle. I really want to switch to M2 or freestyle but i'm not very good at memorizing stickers

 

[happa95]

i used pochmann corners...

 

[malcolm]

1:36.xx non lucky =) 3 corners in place, but twisted, 1 edge in place, but flipped. With M2/CO/CP

 

[alexc]

4/4 in 16:45 with 8:25 memo. I was hoping for under 15 minutes, but this is good enough for now.

Thanks alex, way to post that under my 0/4!
How are you memoing alex? Is it images? (I've forgotten about your memo system, ironic )

I memorize with letter pair images + Roman Rooms.

2/2 in 6:11 with 3:25 memo.

 

[joey]

Is this a sign from the BLD God?
2/3 11:53.22
I tried to go a bit slow, to actually get one. It seems like I will never get this
# 2 misoriented edges

 

[Mike Hughey]

Hang in there, Joey - you'll get it!

I got my first avg. of 10 3x3x3 BLD in 5 months:

2:54.98

2:58.22 2:28.23 2:37.54 2:50.44 2:13.47 (2:10.29) 2:43.56 2:43.36 (DNF) 3:47.89 3:54.32 2:52.79

I got really slow at the end because I was afraid I would DNF a second time. There's a sub-2:30 average of 5 in the middle there! I can finally sustain an average of 10 with M2 - it's nice to start being somewhat accurate again!

 

[alexc]

2/2 in 4:36 with 2:18 memo. I used my regular blindfolded method and memo method too, because I am faster memorizing with visual CO and CP and with sound words for edges. I'm happy!

 

[Mike Hughey]

8/8 in 1:15:01.84 for this week's online competition. 50:44 memorization.

After what, 7 or 8 tries? I finally got it! I had a terrible time holding onto the memorization for some reason, but I was eventually able to retrieve it all. I had to leave the next-to-last cube for a bit and go solve the last one because I couldn't remember all the edges, but I was able to go back to it and remember them.

Now I have to go create a 9th room. There's always something...
