3BLD solve whilst being blasted with Nyan Cat in 08:34.73

I NEVER WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN. IN FACT, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. IT HURTS.

Technically though, this is a UWR.

I'm pretty sure Bill had already done better than this when he asked.

Yeah, I got like 55-1:00, but Aron destroyed that.
My accomplishment is: 5BLD: 8:20.66(What's your PB Aron?).

 

[aronpm]

8:06

Haven't tried it in ages.

 

[Zane_C]

Very good Bill! :tu
Did you take note of the memo time?

Say, have you done much Multi BLD? If you put your big cube memo skills into 3x3s, you will indeed get some nice results.

 

[cuboy63]

Damn. You just have to be better than me.
I guess I'm the third member of the sub 8:30 club(What's your 5BLD PB Zane)?

9:26. The DNFs that I get now are usually sub-10, but it's no good getting fast DNFs.

I'm really happy

I don't use Journey.

I don't use journey either. I use whatever. There's no name for my method, but it's certainly related to journey/rooms.

I just make random rooms, remember the order via a "route"..ish. Sorta. I just know the order of my rooms. And I just go in the room and go (counter)clockwise in the room and when I'm done, it's the next room.

I wouldn't mind tips though, it's s illy of me not to take good advice when it's available .

Congratulations Blah on gettting the MBLD World Record!

Yes Chester, congratulations! :tu

My opinion is that journey and room are actually the same method. May be it would be more accurate to call it the "path" method. It is really to have a path linking locations. Whatever the path is within a room or outside or a journey, when memorizing/recalling it all comes down to going through the location of the path. To use solely either room or journey is unnecessarily restricted, I think.

edit: What I meant is that I agree with Chester. And he proved it works

 

[tim]

Awesome job, Chester! That you've made up some locations right before the attempt makes it super cool. I can't even beat that coolness with 24/24. I should probably just give up.

+1.

 

[RyanReese09]

Besides how the information is structured, I agree they are basically the same. Journey has it over a path, Roman ROoms, just within a centralized area

Good job Zane. When do you have 5BLD in a comp again?

Thanks, probably at Australian Nationals in September. Yourself?
