First multi-bld attempt: 1/2 in 17:53.00[11:07.12].

Scrambles:

1. U2 B F U2 L2 R2 B F' L2 B' F2 U2 R' D U F2 L F L R2 D' U' R' F2 D R' B2 L2 D' U2
2. R' B' F' L2 B2 F' L' U' L' R' B' U2 L2 F' U L' R' B2 F2 L' R B2 F D2 U' L2 U' B L2 B'

The second cube failed because I picked it up yellow on top, green on front. I normally do it white on top green on front. FAIL

I accidentally Harvard Spring.

MBLD: 4/7 58:11 [~45]

3BLD:
DNF ~3:30
DNF ~2:20 (two flipped edges)
DNF ~2:05 (two twisted corners)

Definitely had first competition jitters. Hopefully they're all behind me now.

lol scramble, bad memo (I didn't believe there were so many pieces already solved), good TPS (at least).

Stopping 4BLD for a while cause I'm lazy on the other hand, focusing on learning BH comms for 3BLD properly and some 3-style algs, and also finishing my letter pair list. -going for Amos' 3BLD NR.

8x8x8 BLD tenth attempt: DNF [1:12:00.73, 36:45, 4mW 4iW 8iX 8mX 18iO 6mO 8oO].

This is getting frustrating. It looks like it was a bad result with 56 pieces wrong, but it looks to me like all but 2 of the pieces might be accounted for by my turning the wrong slice for one turn in one of the commutators. And I had a spot where I asked myself, "Did I turn the wrong slice there?" Unfortunately, I couldn't remember things well enough to figure out whether or not that was the actual slice I messed up.

8x8x8 BLD tenth attempt: DNF

Look at it this way - All the DNFs will make the successes that much more satisfying

I didn't save the first 5 or 6 attempts, but I'm planning to make a video with all my reactions to the DNFs that I've saved. So I guess it also means more for that. My reaction this time wasn't very fun, though - I was not surprised by the result because of that spot where I thought I might have turned the wrong slice.

Practicing 4BLD today, I've only ever had one success which was around 30mins (I didn't time it.) All my attempts today have been around 15mins (inc memo) and I'm either completely out from forgetting a set up, or I'm just a couple of centres out.

Can anyone offer any tipsfor centres? In particular 2 cycles, I'm SO close it's painful.

First BLD attempt: 19:09.79 DNF by two flipped edges, two flipped+switched edges, and two twisted+twisted corners.

Grr, memo is so hard >__<

Don't worry, memo get's easier with practice. I felt the same way during my first attempts. Your memory will get stronger and faster. Best of luck.

DO IT!

Greetings, Dennis

When you come back from having been invisible for almost a year and tell me this, I feel I have no choice. I'll do it just for you, Dennis! Nice to see you back.

What an honor
Yeah true. I had a long break. But i always went on cubing. I just didnt do any big MULTI attempts and so on. But i feel like doing it again.. I never stopped cubing. I just didnt do anything "big".

Greetings, Dennis

Just failed 2x2x2 BLD twice. One was two unswapped pieces (T-Perm would have solved), and one was nowhere near.

My first try to 27 cubes: 18/27, 54:01.69 [31:15]
I feel paaaain ^^

WUT. 4 Sub-1s today - all DNFS :fp

59 - 2 flipped edges 58 - 3 corners off 57 - 2 flipped edges and another 57 - 3 twisted corners

ALL SO CLOSE. I had another success around then that felt like sub-1 but unfortunately my timer went out.

What went wrong?

 

[jonlin]

DNF(8:50:00.04) 3x3 DNF.
If anyone wants to know why that took so long, it was a sleep delayed DNF.

Hahaha. I've got to try memoing the cube, than take a nap or sleep for full night and then solve cube. Amazing.
