Weekly competition 2011-15

2x2BLD: 33.71, 36.02, DNF [45.78] = 33.71 not very good
3x3BLD: 1:37.75 [ 42], 2:08.31 [ 56], 2:11.19 [ 52] = 1:37.75 ok
4x4BLD: DNF [7:22.98, 3:50], DNF [7:19.67, 4:25], 8:34.60 [ 4:38] = 8:34.60 slow but the third was a safe
5x5BLD: DNF [14:30, 7:28], DNF [18:43, 9:50], DNF [18:21, 11:03] = DNF bad, did a safe here too but erred anyway
6x6BLD: DNF [45:44, 28:36] = DNF bad attempt and very slow memo
7x7BLD: DNF [1:06:59, 36:31] = DNF Ooooh, so close, just forgot to do HI on the last edges. (nr 2 & 3 from the end)
Very fast too, one hour is beginning to feel within reach on a good day. Of course it was an easy solve, after reorientation I think I
had 36 centers solved (it's a PB of sorts).
Multi: 7/8 = 6 51:05 [38:25] Close here too, forgot to do flipping on the last cube (which I don't memo as the others).

Done bld
3x3: 1:50.12, 2:01.08, dnf, dnf, 1:40.78 = DNF normal
4x4: DNF (8:25 / 4:28) three edges, DNF (7:10 / 3:48) two centers, 7:11.14 (3:41), 8:48.80 (4:20), 10:39.03 (6:26) = DNF
5x5: 18:55 (11.38), 19:51 (13:08), DNF (17:45 / 11:18), DNF (20:40 / 13:30), DNF (17:45 / 9:48) = DNF
rather bad and very slow memo. I don't understand why as I have lately had faster and faster memo times.

I've also noticed that even if I try to go slow and secure I tend to solve faster and faster and then suddenly I'm going
close to (my) top speed and at that speed I normally err.

@Chris: amazing that you have improved so much recently. I have during the last half year closed some of the gap to you
and Mike but now you are totally out of reach again. Maybe I have to look up synergestic in a dictionary :) (to begin with).

@Rune: :), ok

Wow, Mats nice solve! I know it was a DNF, but it sounds like it was very close (and it was very fast!) :tu

Very consistent times on both cubes. As to your comment about solving speed, definitely still try to solve quickly. Don't go 100% speed during solving, but definitely try to aim for 90% speed or so. I know exactly what you mean that solving too quickly can lead to errors, I do the same. Try to maybe solve very, very slightly slower than you do now on your next 4x4 or 5x5 BLD solve and see how it goes. The thing about the solving pace though is try to maintain a solid pace with no pauses. Think-ahead is your friend, especially when transitioning from one piece type to another.

@Rune: :), ok

Amos and I recently had a big debate about the difference between GOGOGO pacing and synergistic pacing. We both solidified more precisely how we are solving. The debate starts here if you're interested.

The basic idea behind synergistic memo, and after solidifying this from the debate with Amos, is:

Memo is always broken down into 2 phases: 1) Encoding, and 2) Reviewing.

Synergistic memo has two very important points that must be addressed every solve:
1) You must accept the feedback from your brain about whether the images are sticking in your memo or not. Always memorize as quickly as possible, but when you feel that images aren't sticking you must slow down however much you need to slow down until the problem image(s) begin to stick again. After the images begin to stick again speed back up as much as you possibly can without getting to the point that images aren't sticking again. Your pacing can fluctuate wildly (both in terms of how many pacing changes you make, and how drastic those changes are) during the course of memo, and this is fine.

2) Your aim is to have a 90-95% confidence by the end of memo that you have not only memorized correctly, but that you will recall all of your memo at speed without any recall delays. This means that the reviewing phase is minimal, and in places non-existent. As an example, on a really good 5x5x5 BLD solve I only review the first location of each piece type, and sometimes I don't review x-centers or wings at all (stuff memorized in the middle of memo).

2a) "Micro-reviewing" is always ok. For example, if I have a location with image JC for Julius Caesar during t-centers, and then during wings I get image JC again, then I will immediately go back to the location in t-centers that also has image JC and quickly review it (I mean quickly, skim the location as fast as possible, then get right back to memorizing wings again). This can be a way to strengthen memo to know that a certain image is used 2-3 times throughout memo, and to know which piece orbits it occurs in. I consider this type of micro-reviewing very helpful toward making sure that you will recall all of the memo quickly, and without pauses. It's a safety net basically, but a very useful one in my opinion.

Definitely read the link from the Random BLD discussion thread though. There's some very useful stuff from Amos about what exactly GOGOGO pacing means, and how to use it. I'm trying to incorporate more of GOGOGO pacing into my solves, and it seems to definitely be helping!

I've noticed your improvement Mats, it's quite cool to watch! You will certainly continue to get even faster than you are now, I have no doubt! :tu :D

2x2x2: 8.70, 6.77, 8.46, 8.56, 9.88 = 8.47
3x3x3: 22.25, 23.32, 24.71, 20.76, 25.88 = 23.43
4x4x4: 1:40.54 [P], 1:43.67 [O], 1:51.47 [OP], 1:43.76 [OP], 1:36.45 [O] = 1:42.66
5x5x5: 2:53.31, 2:56.03, 2:54.87, 3:06.21, 2:56.07 = 2:55.66
Comment: Bad week for freeslice.
6x6x6: 6:00.15 [OP], 5:42.54 [O], 5:36.26 [OP], 5:03.99 [P], 4:56.16 [O] = 5:27.60
7x7x7: 8:21.29, 7:20.34, 7:03.65, 8:19.81, 7:55.80 = 7:51.98
2x2x2 BLD: 24.76, 36.58, 32.48 = 24.76
3x3x3 BLD: 1:33.09, 1:19.58, 1:34.21 = 1:19.58
4x4x4 BLD: 8:15.62 [4:15], 8:11.93 [4:00], 7:36.36 [3:08] = 7:36.36
Comment: Memo on the third one was really fast, but execution was really slow due to some recall delays.
5x5x5 BLD: DNF [19:11.54, 10:05], 13:26.12 [6:34], DNF [18:52.88, 9:05] = 13:26.12
Comment: First one off by 3 centrals (recalled 2 images out of order) and 2 + centers (executed a commutator backwards). Third one was off by 4 wings, 4 + centers, and 7 X centers; it seemed so bad that it wasn’t worth figuring out why. On both the first and third solves, I was trying to go as fast as possible, and the memo just didn’t work. The second one was done “synergistically”. Synergistic won, obviously. I want to be as fast as Chris, but clearly I’m better off if I don’t try too hard for it.
6x6x6 BLD: 33:56.87 [15:17]
7x7x7 BLD: DNF [47:56.34, 25:56]
Comment: Off by 2 inner + centers (used the wrong buffer piece for one commutator), 2 outer + centers (identified pieces correctly while memorizing, but memorized them out of order), and 3 corners. Pretty bad, but the time was nice.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 9/11 = 7 points, 56:01.71 [38:48]
Comment: Second cube off by 2 corners twisted (forgot to twist them), and 4 edges (2 images out of order and forgot to flip edges). Third cube off by 4 corners and 4 edges, I don’t know why; probably a missed turn somewhere very early in the solve.
3x3x3 OH: 51.94, 1:05.28, 40.94, 45.91, 40.59 = 46.26
3x3x3 WF: 2:22.16, 1:44.86, 1:46.66, 1:12.96, 1:20.72 = 1:37.41
3x3x3 Match the scramble: 1:08.37, 1:22.42, 1:13.77, 1:25.18, 1:24.42 = 1:20.20
3x3x3 Fewest Moves: 36 moves

D2 D’ become D after 2x2x2; F2 F’ become F after 2x2x3; L2 L’ become L after 3x cross; F’ F cancel after 4th pair; F’ F2 become F after insertion.

Comment: Really a pretty decent solution for me, but last week spoiled me, so it feels bad because of how many moves it is.
2-4 relay: 2:09.30 [O]
2-5 relay: 5:56.67 [P]
Comment: Embarrassingly bad. 30 seconds on 2x2x2 at start, then bad 5x5x5 and 4x4x4. Just horrible.
Magic: 7.91, 9.36, 9.44, 9.71, 16.68 = 9.50
Comment: OHITABLD. I did a few practice solves first – it really helps.
Master Magic: 3.56, 3.30, 4.72, 3.56, 3.71 = 3.61
Clock: 3:00.27 [0:27], 16.50, 17.06, 16.59, 15.94 = 16.72
MegaMinx: DNF [33:22.90, 17:06], 3:15.44, 2:58.15, 3:18.08, 3:29.65 = 3:21.06
Comment: BLD solve was off by 5 corners and 8 edges; it looks like the 5 corners and 5 of the edges were due to an early mistake leaving out one clockwise turn of a face. The time was great, though! I’m getting faster!
Pyraminx: DNF [1:38.03], 12.33, 13.50, 14.30, 8.16 = 13.38
Comment: BLD solve had 2 edges flipped (I did the algorithm incorrectly).
Square-1: 6:32.15 [3:57], 37.97, 39.68, 39.59 [P], 43.34 = 40.87
Skewb: 2:44.71 [1:00], 25.94, 24.27, 28.28, 30.00 = 28.07
Comment: BLD solve was easy again – all corners already permuted. The rest were done with KirMeep, but I only know one of the L5C cases. :)

Rebecca Hughey:
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [7:11], DNF [9:11], DNS yet = DNF
Comment: She might yet try the third one tonight. I checked her memo on the second one - the corners were correct; the edges were off by 4.

@Mats: You've actually done a pretty good job of almost catching up with me; it's just that Chris has now suddenly run away from us both. I feel the same way you do about Chris; I thought I was catching up, but now he seems impossibly far away again.
 
Mike Hughey:

5x5x5 BLD: DNF [19:11.54, 10:05], 13:26.12 [6:34], DNF [18:52.88, 9:05] = 13:26.12

Nice solve on the 13:26 Mike! Yes I know what you mean about the memo not going well when you try to go quickly (your first and third solves). It' the same for me, if I rush during memo then I have a horrible time making things stick, and the times I get are much slower than if I don't rush. More on this below...

Also, it sounds like your third solve was only off by a single layer inner turn. Did you memorize wing parity or not? If you memorized wing parity, then you did a double turn error somewhere. If you did not memorize wing parity then you did a single turn error somewhere.

6x6x6 BLD: 33:56.87 [15:17]
7x7x7 BLD: DNF [47:56.34, 25:56]
Comment: Off by 2 inner + centers (used the wrong buffer piece for one commutator), 2 outer + centers (identified pieces correctly while memorizing, but memorized them out of order), and 3 corners. Pretty bad, but the time was nice.

Nice 6x6! And the 7x7 time is O_O That stinks that it was a DNF, but getting sub-50 is craaaazy on 7x7! My hat's off sir!

MegaMinx: DNF [33:22.90, 17:06], 3:15.44, 2:58.15, 3:18.08, 3:29.65 = 3:21.06

33 mins?! O_O You said sub-40 was possible, and yeah that's definitely sub-40! Are you thinking about sub-30 now? Wow!

Square-1: 6:32.15 [3:57]

Couldn't let this one go, very nice!

Rebecca Hughey:
3x3x3 BLD: DNF [7:11], DNF [9:11], DNS yet = DNF

Good luck on the third solve, Rebecca!

@Mats: You've actually done a pretty good job of almost catching up with me; it's just that Chris has now suddenly run away from us both. I feel the same way you do about Chris; I thought I was catching up, but now he seems impossibly far away again.

The key is all in the pacing. I've changed nothing in my method other than my pacing during memo and solving. Well, I did change how I memorize PBD corners, but that's a small change in the big scheme of things.

Mike, you and Mats are already improving a lot, but seriously all it takes is experimenting with your pacing. Synergistic pacing (Anywhere from a 2:1 to 60:40 memo:solving split basically) with allowing yourself the drastic increases and decreases in speed during memo as necessary is all it took for me.

Try different ways to pace yourself during memo, but change nothing else of your solve, at least not right now. I think you guys will be surprised at the potential speed that you already have. I think about it like riding a bike with gears. Sure you can pedal as fast as you can, but if you're only in 1st gear you're just going to spin the pedals and have no grab to spin the tires. If you change to a very high gear, it will be very difficult to get up to speed and you'll be slower overall. If you can find that sweet spot, then you don't really have to pedal very hard at all, but man you are flying down the street!

Synergistic memo (with a bit of a push towards GOGOGO as Amos describes it) is that sweet spot for me. Just try to find your memorization sweet spot and I guarantee you'll both drop at least a minute, maybe 2 off your time with very little effort. Seriously, it's that easy to drop a minute or more off your average times from what they are right now. Now, perfecting your sweet spot memo will take even more time off than that, but you see what I mean. Simply discovering your sweet spot for memo will immediately knock off a minute or two, easy. I stand by my word on this one :)

Thanks for the very inspiring response, Chris!

(5x5x5) Also, it sounds like your third solve was only off by a single layer inner turn. Did you memorize wing parity or not? If you memorized wing parity, then you did a double turn error somewhere. If you did not memorize wing parity then you did a single turn error somewhere.
I did memorize (and perform) wing parity, yes. So I guess maybe it was a double inner turn, huh? I can't remember anything that might have been it, though.

(megaminx) 33 mins?! O_O You said sub-40 was possible, and yeah that's definitely sub-40! Are you thinking about sub-30 now? Wow!
Definitely. I was being extra slow and careful on this one, even. Sub-20 is probably actually possible for me with this method, eventually. But that will take a while, I think. :)

(square-1)Couldn't let this one go, very nice!
Thanks, but that was a pretty terrible solve. I generally only do one attempt per week, and I almost never go over my permanent matrix memo, so I often take a while dredging up the matrix for the solve, and then I have trouble remembering the 14 or so algs I use for square-1 BLD. Most of my misses are due to forgetting the algs, not forgetting the matrix; and almost none of my misses are due to anything else!

I'm thinking I may have already found my sweet spot, actually. I still have a problem with not being able to think ahead all the time. On a really good memo, where I have my memo as solid as you're describing (which is probably only 1 in every 3 solves or so for me, to be honest), I still wind up pausing before most pairs, especially with wings. I'm still not completely comfortable with BH wings yet, although it's continually improving, and improving noticeably every week.

I should also mention that I really did swap those two pairs for the lettering of wings this week, for every solve I did in the weekly competition. As you can see, I had a pretty good accuracy rate, considering! No mistakes were due to swapping either of those pairs when memorizing or solving. But the switch did slow me down - I had to stop and think, both in memo and in execution, when doing any of those 4 letters on wings. So perhaps I could have been a little faster on that 13 minute 5x5x5 solve.

If you notice, my memo times can be quite quick, and when they are, they're often more solid than when they're slow. On my fast 5x5x5 BLD this week (with the 6:34 memo), I paused pretty much never due to memo recall, which tells me my problem is slow execution, not pacing. Most of my execution pauses were on wings due to taking time to think of the BH algorithm. If my 6:34 memo had been 60/40, it would have been a 4:23 execution and an 11:57 total time. If my memo had been 2:1, it would have been a 9:51!
 
Wow Mike a very nice single, "only" 1.3 sec slower than Simon's best single, and if you just do 5 a week you might benefit by doing one warm-up solve ;)

Ah yes, I forgot to write in my comment about that solve. My comment on my sheet says, "Easiest solve ever! 3 of the 4 pairs premade, 6-move OLL, J perm." Yes, it was lucky, and all of the last 4 were easier than usual.

And I suspect a warmup solve wouldn't help - I suffer too often from foot cramps.

And I should mention I still usually do this on a stackmat that is on a carpet, which is almost cheating, I guess. I'll never forget how bad it was for me at US Nationals last year on the hard floor.

Hi Mats,

For the last couple of weeks I've mistakenly put my 3x3x3 results under 2x3x3. =O I have edited my posts to correct this.

Thank you for all the time you spend on the weekly competitions, you deserve a lot of credit!
