Ta I've promised myself I'll ONLY come back when memo is consistently <2mins OR when I eventually get a sub-5!

That's funny. I think sub-5 will happen for you very soon. On the other hand, consistent memo sub-2 could be pretty hard. I've had sub-5 solves and sub-2 memos equally often: once each.

I know what you mean. I think the thing that stops me most are letter pairs that just don't fit in with the story. I try to use phonetics (1-24 found here) to fill these gaps but it's hit and miss. I still think sub-2 memo might be possible (young brains )

3/3 MBLD

Untimed, hand-scrambled. On cam ^^

Still gonna count it as a PB though, since almost all my multi attempts are also hand scrambled and untimed.

10 solved centres, leaving (AINJFLTK)(COQ)(DXG) so so so so so so so so lucky. I won't be getting another one of those for a long time.

Now I'll shush.

Nice!

Good luck with sub5!

 

[cubenut99]

I just got my first succesful BLD solve.

I officially under stand how comms work for 4BLD centers, and for 5BLD centers

47.79, 1:00.71, 54.05, DNF(51.01), 46.32, 1:10.74, 51.38, DNF(1:21.14), 48.38, DNF(1:01.55), 51.98 - 8/11 accuracy

Bold = 54.18 average of 5! (PB) If the 51 hadn't been a DNF, the average would have been 50.95 - almost sub-50!!!

Yay! Really satisfied with this session. Good accuracy, and quite a few sub-50s ^.^ Most of my sub-1s were also low 50s too Noticed my memo times have improved too!

This was done after a break from BLD for a while. I guess they do help!

MBLD: 2/5 in 29:52

It's an accomplishment because it's the first time I ever tried 5 cubes. The most I tried before was 3. I was inspired by watching Maskow's 17/17 again. The second and fourth cubes were solved. The first cube had two flipped edges, that I forgot to execute, but I did memorize them. The third cube all its corners solved, and three edges. I think I used the memorization from the last cube on that cube, lol. And then the last cube, I couldn't remember anything about it, probably because I already used up the memo on the cube before. Memorization time was about 21 minutes. My method of memorizing goes first cube, second cube, then review those cubes in the order: first cube, second cube. Then I move on to the third cube, and review first cube, second cube, third cube. And so on. It was a fun attempt, and it wasn't part of any race or competition. Not many solved pieces in any of the cubes. I'm going to attempt 3/3 by the end of today maybe.

Scrambles if anyone wants to try:

[Mike Hughey]

Ugh, so close...

6x6x6 BLD: 22:41.02 [11:39]

For the weekly competition. Jakube's UWR is 22:23.73 [9:58]. I was 18 seconds too slow.

 

[qqwref]

Wow. You wrecked his execution, though!

2/5 MBLD again. SO close this time on the other 3. 28:08.80 total, about 20 minutes for memo.

The first two cubes were solved. The remaining three went like this:
Two flipped edges, two flipped edges, three edges (on the same layer?! It's a U perm now)

Edit: 2/3 in 15:40. 3 edges, 3 corners on the second cube.

So many recent accomplishments being posted, congrats to everyone!

3x3 BLD: 31.98, 29.23, 38.09 = 33.10 MO3.

I've been doing some practice in preparation for Melbourne Winter. Yay for sub-10 memo times.

29.23

PB? Looks like you've been getting your fast times back

PB? Looks like you've been getting your fast times back

My pb is 24.64, yeah it's good to see my times improving.

And I've noticed you getting some really nice times. :tu

6. U F' B' D R2 F B' L B' L D2 L D2 L F2 U2 L2 D2 B2 L'

The real accomplishment is that I had a bunch of sub-18 memos and even a sub-16. Unfortunately the solve was a 1:01. I REALLY need to work on execution. Should I focus more on getting good corner algs or working up to full BH edges?
