Nice! What were the splits this time?

it was around 15/25. Yet again, the memo was really unusual for me.... I have had a theory that the time right in between when I take my adhd medicine and when it wears off, my memo is really good. All of my good attempts have been ~3 o clock anyway, so that makes sense to me.


Oh, and Dannng nice Zane!

Wow, what's your PB?

9:26

Impressive . Nice you got it on video.

MBLD: 9/9 in 42:38.

First memo was 20:21 (Okay time I guess, happy with that) but then I used 10 more minutes to refresh everything from start. I refresh by checking ALL stickers to memo, I am thinking this might be overkill. It might be better to just refresh mentally without the cubes (go through all locations) and where I get stuck I can just look at the cube. That has got to be faster (and less safe...).

Hope to get sub 35 for 9 cubes. It is a funny amount of cubes.

Nice result!

I always do the latter. Well, except that at US Nationals in 2009, I did the overkill approach because I had been making too many mistakes all weekend, and I was trying a small number of cubes for my second attempt. (I also did that on my last 5x5x5 BLD solve.) The overkill approach is ideal when you're having a bad day.

I think that's a nice shortcut for describing it: "I did overkill memo" means "I checked all stickers to memo". I may start using that.

 

[MrMoney]

No more overkill for me! I think it is wierd how I always speed up the memo on the last cubes. Time / cubes is alt better with many cubes then afew. Strange

For the past 2 weeks or so, I was stuck with either 3/10 success rate at ~2:15, or 8/10 success rate at ~2:45.
I seem to have (hopefully) found a happy medium: 5 solves tonight, 5 successes
And not slow ones either. 2:15 ao5, 2:05.56 single (my second or third best ever, I believe).

I got bored on the weekend (I was away visiting family) so I took some cubes and did a bit of bld...

5bld: 8:01.96 PB by 7 or so minutes...

I want to do more bld but I have so little time this week because I have to write about 25 pages by Friday.

 

[Tim Major]

Congrats Aron :tu

wat... WAT.

That's crazy! Congrats on a sub-10 success.

 

[RyanReese09]

Just solved a 5x5x5 sighted BLD execution!

Corners (no parity)
Midges
x centers (easy since I've done 4BLD sighted)
+ centers (extremely hard, stuck on a few comms for a few minutes until I could figure one out)
wings (easy since I know 4bld)

For midges, is it safe to do (For M slice stuff) same normal M2 algs?

Would have been a DNF had I been blindfolded, since I screwed up undoing a setup a few times so I had to redo corners/midges several times .

Yes. You could've figured that out by yourself, though .

 

[MrMoney]

Weekly forum competition 19.

MBLD: 13/13 in 59:32 (43 swoot slow execution).

I am meh about the result, but happy my accuracy is not down with more cubes. I just seem to suck at memorizing stuff, it takes toooo long. But I never "mismemorize" the wrong stickers or stuff like that. I take my time and check that buffer will be flipped correctly when I have to break into new cycles.

I am planning on doing afew 13cube tries the coming weeks, might just improve Europes times abit. Iril, we are coming for you!

If you guys are doing the weekly check out scrambles 6&8 I think, the first 4 edges are the same if you use Green front Yellow top and start with DF as buffer :O Craaazy but nice.

 

[tim]

Nice job, Ramadan. But you really need to work harder on your memo times before you can break my ER .

 

[MrMoney]

Thank you Tim, it is an honor! I use 10min for each pack of 4 cubes, so that means 30 minutes for first memo. Then I refresh them, and do last cube visual. That is planned to be around 15 minutes. Then the last 15 minutes for solving. My hands get tired of solving that much I hope I can improve my memo to do 4 cubes = 9 minutes memo. That would rock socks.

5 BLD first attempt : 27.57.333

I always do seem to get lucky with my first solves ^^

I dont know the splits, but both parts were fairly smooth but fairly slow.
No paritys, interestingly enough

Mhh, that's odd. Refreshing is usually super-fast for me. I seldom spend more than 30s per cube. The images don't seem to stick good enough in your brain, so go practice .

Last, but not least: 4x4 bld: 6:58 (3:30) while racing Kai. First sub-7!
