Extremely Easy 4x4 BLD :)

[masterofthebass]

Mike, i just talked to Tyson, and he said you can get 3 scrambles for 4x4 and 5x5 bLD! If you choose to do so, you miss out on other events, so it's all about what you want to do. This means, for you people not doing every event , you can get up to 3 scrambles per BLD puzzle.

Wow, that's different! After the 3x3x3 BLD, I definitely have essentially no chance of competing in any of the other events that day, so I guess that means it only makes sense I should do 3 of each? How cool would that be?

I'm going to send an email to Shelley now and ask all the questions I've been saving up. I've put it off for too long.

Ohhh, I'll have to look at the schedule and see whether I could do that. If I'll just miss like OH or 2x2 who cares?

i dnfed

except the reason why i did was i forgot to memo one center and one whole edge cycle, otherwise the time was 10:25 plus dropping the cube and trying to figure out physics in a few minutes to see which side is teh right one

How can Physics help you figure out which side is the right one?!

I bet you'll become first or second in 4x4x4 BLD at US Open.

Thank you, Tim. I know I won't beat Chris, though - he'll probably be sub-7, and I have yet to get a sub-8 solve (not even with this scramble!). And I still think it'll take sub-10 to get third place. But I will admit I might have a chance at second even with that being true - I'm getting a lot of sub-10 solves now - almost half of them are these days.

The thing is, if Rowe or Dan (or now I should include Alex as well on this) hit one, they're going to have amazing times - either of them could very easily beat Chris on a lucky solve. (Whereas I could not beat Chris even on a lucky solve, unless he DNFs. And Chris doesn't DNF both solves very often - probably the most amazing thing about him!)

Argh, how could i forget Chris? So you'll end up being second or third.

How it fell on the floor. You can't be certain about the orientation of the puzzle itself.
