10/11 in 50:29.39. Total memo was like 33ish. For the first time I could actually review fast. I'd just be confirming what I memo'd. Before it'd just be like..forceful re-memo'ing. Weird. It was nice though . Fast reviewing. Few seconds shaved off due to me forgetting to stop timer. Was supposed to be recorded but camera stopped. Only has 15 minutes of execution on it (I think when I threw a cube down it hit the keyboard and thus stopping it.

*Sigh*

At least it was a decent multi. The 3rd cube off was off by a 3cycle corners. No idea at all how that happened.

 

[Xishem]

Did you many, or any, corner comms?

 

[RyanReese09]

There were instances where I could have comm'd but chose not to. I did 1 c orner comm, on my first executed cube (the one I normal memo). Just a simple 8 mover.

Aron: GET A LIFE, SERIOUSLY!!!!111111 I don't believe you're practicing much more than i do, therefore i don't understand your crazy memo speed at all. o_O

lol, I don't practice multi or big bld much any more. Next time I try multi, I'll film it

5bld avg5 is impessive, btw :O

Congratulations, Chris!

I still can't seem to do it. I had a 1:05.xx yesterday; I took too long memorizing and I'm a little slow with twisted corners, which this one had. I keep thinking a lucky scramble plus good execution should lead to sub-1 for me; I appear to have a mental block.

It's a pity I'm probably too busy this week to do the 200 scrambles. I'm doubting I'm even going to get through the whole weekly competition this week...

New PB: 56.24

I'm taking part in the BLD Race this week and so far it's paying off

Hey Mike,

I know you will get it! If it helps, the only days that I even get times close to sub-60 (sub1:10) are days when I simply just believe that "I will get a sub-60 today." I just tell myself that every solve will get better and better, and by the middle or the end of my practice session that I will get a sub-60. Try this and see if it helps? I think it is all about the mental aspect of believing you can do it. I think part of the reason it took me so long to go sub-20 on average for 3x3 speedsolving is that I had a mental block on being able to do it that took me years to break. It's all in the mind, your method/hands/memorization is already capable of doing it. At this point it's just convincing your mind of how close you are, as you already are right on the cusp.

Good luck!

Sorry Chris. Scramble 4 of the BLD race was too easy. I did two corner comms in it .

1:18.69, DNF(1:24.43), 1:02.81[if only no pairyt], 58.21. First four scrambles of BLD race.
Don't read if you haven't done the BLD race Scramble #4 and you plan on doing so.

Spoiler

In the 58, I only had to memorize 1 letter in the 58 for corners. And then I just did z perm to fix the edges on top. Such a nice scramble.

Nice, congrats! I owe you a cookie at our next competition then I'll see if I can at least get one in the next day or two to try to catch up to you!

Nicely done!

Read the edit I did in it. It was quite an elegant way to handle the situation.

Now we race to first sub50 .

Can I get in on this one? I'm not sure if you're comfortable with upping the stakes to TWO cookies, though.

Don't be a baby.

5 cookies OR I'M OUT OF THIS RACE.

You're both on, I'm so in on this one! 5 cookies it is!

1:08 memo.

Bill, that is absolutely insane! Congratulations! I think by 1:08 I've only just finished memorizing x-centers (and nothing else!). Awesome stuff!

Wow. Speed up your execution and you'll be on-par with Ville. O:

Thanks Chris. Your execution is really fast though.

Yeah, I guess I need to improve my execution.

LOL. I wonder how long this one will take...

5:20.52 on 3x3 BLD.

This was my first successful BLD solve after my hiatus from BLD, and it's my new PB. I'm going to be practicing BLD.

 

[gbcuber]

Had my first success for 3x3, and on my first ever attempt of the whole cube too
I'm a noob, memo was 14 minutes, execution was 3:10
