DNF 1:20:13.

47:49 memo, which could have been faster.

 

[Zane_C]

Bad luck, you'll get it soon I'm sure.
I'm sure your memo will be a lot faster if your not constantly talking and updating your progress on irc.

[~Phoenix Death~]

Attempted 2x2 BLD. The wrong way. All I did was get 1st layer done. I thought I'd try to do the rest by seeing what the algorithms did. FAIL

That was fun reading your IRC comments. I like how you call them "good" and "bad" obliques. And I hate when I mess up memorization and have to go at it again.

I can tell you'll be breaking my UWR probably as soon as you get a successful solve.

 

[aronpm]

And for another failure...
4/7 in 14:52.76. 7:33 memo (wtf?!)

One cube was off by 3 corners, another off by M' U2 M2 U2 M (no idea how that happened) and the other I didn't execute edges because I forgot the first 4 of them.

I timed it from the video and I spent over a minute in total trying to remember those edges o_o.

EDIT:
5bld: dnf 7:33.34. 3:02 memo.
Very fast execution for me. Off by 3x centers, 3+ centers, 3 edges and 3 corners.

 

[Zane_C]

16/18 in 1:44:34[1:13]
the 15th one was off by a 3 cycle of edges because I didn't notice a two swap. The last was off by a 3 cycle of edges due to not seeing a 3 cycle. I was paying attention to make sure I didn't miss any hidden cycles, so I don't know how I managed to miss an entire 3 cycle on the last.

EDIT: However, I'm glad these are errors which should be easy to overcome. It's not like I'm forgetting or getting my images mixed up.

I'm impressed Zane, both by 15/18 and 16/18 and 17/18.
Your progress has been real fast in both bigbld and Multi.

 

[RyanReese09]

3 cycle edges wrong, 3 cycle corners wrong, two of which were twisted.
Even went slow and went over my edge memo twice. That's depressing
Another DNF, tried using a differnet room then normal. 4:53 time.

 

[Xishem]

Got a nasty scramble and had to memorize 15 objects for edges and 11 for corners (a normal 11/7 is hard enough for me as it is). I spent 15 minutes memoing since it was such a difficult scramble for me. The total time was around 19 minutes, and when I took off the blindfold, 3 edges were solved, and no corners were solved. How discouraging.

11 corners?

Thanks

 

[RyanReese09]

11 corners?

I'm guessing he meant he had to break into new cycles and it ended up having to memorize 11 (letters?) for corners

 

[Zane_C]

Yes I understand that part, but the maximum is 10 unless your solving pointlessly.

 

[RyanReese09]

Just for aronpm.
5 DNFs in a row, all corner related.

 

[freshcuber]

I'm practice just edges right now. My last 3/4 were DNFs by two mis-oriented edges. Memo and execution times are dropping though :tu

Tomorrow=Corners

Probably shooting to a location twice to fix twisted corners?

I sidestep this problem as I use floating buffers whenever my buffer gets solved. I move from UR - UF - UL - UB. Same with corners. If I have 4 corners where 2 and 2 need to swap I solve them with an E perm or Y+V or 2x commutators. Depends on the situation. It is safe to say that these solves are not the fastest.

That does work out, thanks.

Well just finished another routinely 18 cube multi attempt. For some reason this one turned out worse than usual, 13/18 in 1:56. 4 off by 3 cycles with another one off by a set up and Z-perm. I'm guessing it was simply a lack of concentration in the execution. There were a number of occurrences where I had to undo moves after I realised I did something wrong. So there had to have been mistakes that I didn't pick up on.

 

[Yes We Can!]

6 consecutive 3x3 BLD DNFs for weekly competition :fp
At least I got the 4x4 BLD on the first try this time.

 

[RyanReese09]

That's depressing. 3:29.xx DNF.. Upon video review I undid a setup move incorrectly. Setup was d2 L' and I undid as L d. Result=3 edge cycle.
