MBLD at Nats was the first time I ever did 4 cubes:
1st 4 cube attempt: 0/4 in 33 Minutes
2nd 4 cube attempt: 0/4 in 24.
Should've done 3. Should've done 3. Should've done 3.

first real 5BLD attempt: DNF, Off by two x-centers and two flipped midges
On crappy tiled QJ , Execution time 23:72.78
Memo was in several interrupted sessions and did not time it.
Center failure was faulty execution of the last commutator
Midges: I did flip the flipped midge but memo'd the wrong letter for the very last target...
Waiting for Shengshou's to arrive.
I think I should be able to do this under an hour

at rapid dash, mollerz (I think) did a 3bld attempt that would have been a success, but he did M2 at the end of the solve and got a DNF.
failure: 3x3 BLD 1:50.06 DNF by 2 flipped edges. 59-1:00 memo. 10 edge targets, 6 corners. The last edge I shot to was LU instead of UL so UL/UR were flipped D:

2nd real 5 BLD attempt: 64:04.xx DNF with ~ 10 min of interruptions, memo was 30:38
Off by everything, had quite a few centers "popping" and on some I lost track of the exact positions of the face I was turning.
E-slice was off too...
Oh well...

Another 5BLD dry spell. But all my attempts are now around 13:00 and are only off by either 2 flipped corners/two centers.
Execution is down from 7mins to 6mins too and not at full speed yet

So recently I've been on a quest for a 5BLD success. Most recent attempt was off by just two flipped middle edges... And I did flip them. I thought they were flipped at first but apparently they were solved :fp
I think it was like 23 minutes. All seven of my attempts have been 20-30 minutes

Two first 3x3 BLD attempts, off by a three edge cycle each time, using Old Pochman. Arrrggghh!
About to do a third. Let's see how it goes.
EDIT: 3rd was off by everything.

34.17[10.97], 37.84[11.13], 34.07[10.33], 34.22[10.99], 30.94[8.35], 35.47[12.47], 37.62[10.49], 40.70[12.25], DNF(48.48)[12.45], 39.77[12.71], 45.66[12.84], DNF(39.82)[12.10]
First 8 solves were "not bad", the last 4... well you can see.

The awkward moment when you do everything right in a 4BLD attempt, but you missed a 5-cycle of edges in memo... :fp

ok 2nd 3x3 blind attempt another failure...
ok when it takes me nearly an hour to attempt a blind solve this is getting irratating. Im going to work on my corners more cause I think I got my edges perfectly fine (more or less) But for some reason corners are really messing wih me. Old pochman method btw and no memory method (my memo is repeating green orange, white blue etc.) its just so dissapointing to spend so much time trying to do a solve and then just find that you failed.. But each fail brings me closer to a success so eventually...... maybe.
