3x3x3 MBLD: 20/23, 60:00.00 [memo about 34:20]
Real time: 60:29.92, I forgot last cube and I lost time on trying to solve it but I failed.
Two other DNFs were because of two twisted corners. Isn't bad but can be better

Multi-BLD 9/12, 1:00:00

:fp
Time ended while I solved the last cube. Though I made an error already, so I wouldn't solve it anyway. Also 2 edges flipped in 11th cube and 2 corners twisted in 10th cube. It seems I was tired at the end of the hour.

2x2x2 BLD: 19.45
Accuracy: 17/20
Best single: 15.96
DNF [37.69, 3C], 27.13, DNF [31.59, 4C], 15.96, 26.24, 24.47, DNF [24.26, 5C], 22.54, 38.66, 28.36, 48.39, 23.00, 27.44, 29.96, 17.50, 24.80, 23.61, 23.57, 30.91, 18.26
Comment: My worst accuracy yet on this. But the fast times were really pretty good, so for this format, I guess I actually did pretty well.

3x3x3 BLD: 1:16.18
Accuracy: 19/20
Best single: 1:07.61
1:53.07, 1:55.45, 2:03.48, 1:24.96, 1:54.81, 1:48.31, 1:45.86, 1:26.16, 1:51.61, 2:46.54, 1:18.17, 1:34.39, 1:36.26, 1:57.32, 1:25.95, 1:07.61, 1:10.97, 1:20.07, DNF [1:31.37, M-slice 3E], 1:24.08
Comment: Wow, that made up for the accuracy on the 2x2x2! The one DNF was due to my fingers slipping while performing an M2; I had to guess whether I had done an M' or an M2, and I guessed wrong. Started slow, but nice overall result!


* generic key for mistakes - C: corners, E: edges or central edges, W: wings, X: X centers, +: + centers, i: inner, o: outer, O: obliques

3x3 BLD - 6/20 - 3:46.66

Spoiler

01) DNF - 3:41.94
Pretty far off

02) DNF - 6:12.31
Two flipped edges

03) 7:21.52
Had some recall problems with this one. I was trying to go faster so I

didn't spend as much time trying to embed the memo.

04) DNF - 3:44.06
5 Edges - 2 Twisted corners. No clue about what went wrong.

05) DNF - 3:43.41
2 Edges flipped - 2 Corners twisted

06) 4:34.52

07) DNF - 4:07.46
Four edges

08) DNF - 7:34.04
3 Cycle of edges

09) 3:40.12

10) 3:25.29

11) DNF - 5:51.46
Two flipped edges. Had a horrible time recalling edge memo. Had to use

process of elimination.

12) DNF
Did something funky on the first first setup move of the solve. I don't

know what I did, so I wasn't able to fix it.

13) DNF - 5:24.90
Three edge cycle + 2 flipped edges

14) DNF - 5:51.31
Way off... realized during execution that the memo wasn't even close to

possible.

15) DNF
Struggled with corner memo. It took so long, that I forgot edges by the

time I went to solve them.

16) DNF - 3:11.72
Two flipped edges

17) DNF - 3:17.01
3 Edge cycle

18) DNF - 3:47.48
Two corners twisted

19) 3:52.99

20) 3:20.38

3x3 Multi BLD - 1/4 - 34:56.08

Spoiler

Cube 4: solved
Cube 3: Pretty far off. Somehow I ended up with M2 parity, though the solve

had no parity?
Cube 2: Two flipped edges
Cube 1: ~50% - I had mistakenly solved one of the corners as an edge, so I

had to undo most of the corners. After undoing the corners, fixing the

problem, then redoing the corners, I realized I forgot to undo the parity

before undoing everything else. I tried to fix it, but I was pretty sure it

was a lost cause at that point.

 

[Cool Frog]

My memo time is poor and I have been getting crappy times today. but meh.

4:02.83[2:07.28], DNF(3:48.52)[2:18.63], 2:59.14[1:37.30], 3:57.82[2:13.84], DNF(3:01.82)[1:46.33], 4:48.19[3:01.32], DNF(4:54.44)[2:14.13], DNF(4:50.54)[2:10.72]

SO MANY BLD SOLVES TODAY (More than I have ever done in a day hehe)

3-cycle in corners in 2nd and 11th cubes. The first error was in memory, the second was probably in execution.
Though the time is pretty good for me and gives me hope that there is a place for further progress (compared to previous week)
Interesting that there was another memory error, and to fix it I needed to make a guess with 50% of success. And I guessed

Bad week!

Aww, come on - you have to at least tell us how many you tried and how many you got right! I'm sure most of us are at least curious how many you tried.

 

[Jakube]

Aww, come on - you have to at least tell us how many you tried and how many you got right! I'm sure most of us are at least curious how many you tried.

Haha, o.k. Here's the longer version.
I was very tired this day, but I thought I will try 20. Memorisation went slow, so I started rushing and memorized some easy corners of some cubes visual. (That a bad habbit, I know.) Memorization took around 34 minutes. After solving the 15th cube, I realized that I made a big mistake some cubes before. I solved edges correct, corner memo would have been visual but I didn't realized that and solve the corners with the next edge memo. The corner memo of this cube was also visual, so I skipped it also. In the end, I solve the 9th cube with the memo of the 10th cube, the 10th cube with the memo of the 11th, ... I knew that there would be no time to correct all this and stopped. ->5/20 in 50.xx

Week 2012-10

3BLD
Accuracy: 1/11(So far)
Mean of Best 5: N/A

Spoiler

1. DNF(10:11.36)[7:05.96] 3 cycle edges

Edge part of the memo was over 5 minutes because my dad insisted on talkng to me.

2. DNF(7:12.55)[4:28.73]

Super fast edge memo for me but I forgot one of the pairs and for some reason the corners ended up in a E perm when I was finished.

3. DNF(8:33.86)[6:32.95] Almost scrambled

A real fail. The edge memo was so unmemorable I remember some of the edge memo from the last attempt.

4. DNF(5:43.62)[4:30.19] 2 corners, most edges

I couldn't remember the first pair of the edge memo. It was interesting because it had eXtra Large ViKings in it but I can't remember that first pair. I also somehow managed to twist a corner.

5. DNF(5:53.39)[3:54.84] 4 corners, half the edges

****!!! That was a full attempt and it was so easy even though I had parity and a flip! I still got that E perm switch on the top four corners.

6. DNF(7:29.61)[5:11.09] 4 corners, 8 edges.

This is pissing me off. I am trying the next one with looking.

7. DNF(6:42.66)[5:00.26] 4 corners, half edges.

I figured out the problem, 4/7 of these DNF's have been because of executing my J perm incorrectly at one point or another. I will slow down the J perm from now on.

8. DNF(4:30.09)[3:23.70] Scrambled

Executed my corners on edges and reliezed I was doing it wrong after the thrid pair and failed at fixing it. That is weird because I do corners first anyway.

9. 6:03.69[3:39.94]

Finally got one. I realised right after parity that this whole time I had been doing the wrong thing for parity. I had been doing y' Ra perm when it is supose to be y Ra perm. That's(partly) the reason why this is my second success.

I dont remember the corners memo anymore but it was an easy one.

Edge memo was Las Angalis QC SaFe ReWards V

10. DNF(7:24.32)[4:34.10] Half edges

Couldn't remember, but I did do parity right.

11. DNF(10:08.47)[7:59.44] 2 corners, all edges

I was too tired.

Will finish later hopefully.

Good stuff!
It may not feel like it right now but you are making good progress.
Finding your errors all by yourself is a very good learning experience.
Keep at it.

I'll try to sneak in some solves later this evening too
