For that case I'd actually do R2 U M' U L2 U' M U L2 U2 R2.

Why? That seems much slower to me, and it's certainly more moves - 11 instead of 7. Can you really execute that faster than M' D M D2 M' D M? The 7 move one is super ultra fast - I absolutely love it.

Although I do like your solution for DF->FL->UF. I'm going to try to start using yours for that one now.

Also, Chris, since I solve centers before I solve central edges, these algs work fine for me on 5x5x5 and 7x7x7. So I guess your problems with these types of algorithms aren't an issue for me.

YES!!!!

Done for the Weekly Comp.
First time I tried 18 cubes and success. Finally I bet one of the current WRs.
(And finally I bet my old record of 15/15, which I did months before then)
I started a very fast memo and after 5 cubes I realized that the memo didn´t stick. So I went through it again and went slower and safer for the next ones.

Wow, I've been amazed at how fast you've improved at all things BLD over the last few months. Very nice!

Hmm, you're right. After timing myself the <M,D> one is nicer. I'm not sure if I like it more than y' x U2 M2 U R U' M2 U R' U x' y yet though.

My first accomplishment is that I actually did 5 BLD attempts in a row. o_0

Second accomplishment is that 4/5 were successes. o_______0

Thirdly, none of them were safety solves. oO__0_O_O__o

That's incredible!
Well earned, you've been practising stacks lately.

Also, I'm liking the sub-14 5BLD times.

Memo was quite slow, I made it safer than normal. Instead of memorizing in groups of 2 like I normally do, I memorized in groups of 5 (just because my cubes were in a 5x4). I also had to improvise the order of my routes because it's been a while since I've had to use them, and I had to come up with my last 2 routes on-the-fly.

My memo order was like this (not normal for me): first 5, review first 5, second 5, review first 10, third 5, review third 5, last 5, review last 5, review all, review last 5, start. Normally I'd do first 4, review first 4, second 4, review second 4, third 4, review third 4, etc., last 4, review last 4, review all, start.

Basically I'm saying it could have been faster, lol.

Cubes were off by: 3 edges, 3 corners+3 edges, 2 flipped edges (I actually knocked this cube over, I'm amazed I picked it up correctly), 3 corners.

EDIT: I thought I posted earlier, but it mustn't've worked. Nice job Jakube

Wow, lots of response to that Multi. Thanks.

Today I finally made a successful sub 6 4BLD: 5:54.43[2:22]

Also, I'm liking the sub-14 5BLD times.

I´m doing a lot of practice in this direction. Hopefully I can carry on with this, on Monday starts my study at university.

DNF(12:33.39)[5:50] off by 2 centers.
Urb->Bdl->Dbr isn´t a 8-mover :fp

 

[curtishousley]

Not sure if anyone cares or not, but certainly more than my office mates do. I just finished my first successful BLD solve! And i'm so happy, it was exilerating! I doubt I will ever attempt bld speedsolving but bld is still fun. It took me about 15-20 min to memo and then about 3 minutes to solve. I think the method I used is pochmann or something like that? I just did a visual memo of the corners, then story/word association for the edges.

Awesome sauce! :tu Congrats on the successful multi!

You know... 4x4x4 BLD is really not that much more to memo than 2 cubes... *cough* ... *cough* ...

Seriously though, congrats on the successful multi, that's great!
