Comment: Phew, that was a relief. 4x4 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF 5x5 BLD: DNF, 21:28.84, DNF = 21:28.84 Comment: Horrible, memo was ~10:35, I massively messed up the wing memo.
Because I spent so long on the wings, I started to forget centers. As for the execution,
not only was my recall bad, but I made countless mistakes which I obviously undid. 3x3 Multi BLD: 7/11 (27:42.04) = 3 points 3x3 MTS: 3:51.39, 3:30.96, (DNF), 2:55.73, (2:55.53) = 3:26.02

For MTS you take two solved cubes
- scramble first cube
- hit timer
- inspect 1st cube
- within 15 seconds star to "solve" the 2nd cube into the same scrambled state as the 1st one
Good luck with OLL and PLL recognition -)
You could also consider throwing some BLD algs into the mix

Comment: BLD solve off by 3 centers. At first I forgot the algorithm to twist 3 corners, and by the time I finally remembered it, I must have gotten confused about the memo for the centers.

Comment: I suck at Square-1.
First off, first time I've done feet. Second off, I made the horrible, horrible mistake of using a 2H-tensioned Guhong for feet. Thirdly, I started PLL at 4:00 on the popped solve. Took me about 20 minutes to get the piece in correctly. :/ First I did finally get it in at about 14:00, correctly oriented. Then I realized that one of the corners was now twisted incorrectly. I went ahead and solved it so it was just the corner twisted. Then, while trying to twist the corner in its place, I popped out a bottom edge. I then proceeded to twist the corner by the bottom edge, and then reinsert the bottom edge oriented correctly. Finally I had to do a pureflip to the last two corners.
My feet hurt, my legs hurt, and I have a headache.
