6/12 MultiBLD

Nailed edges on all of them. Corners flipped on 6 cubes. >_>
I might have a problem knowing the difference between clockwise and anti-clockwise =S

How bout memoing twisted corners as letter pairs?
1st letter is the target where the white or yellow sticker is, 2nd letter is where it needs to go.

I use this when I'm not confident in remembering them visually and it works fine for me :)

One letter images work too. EDiT: this improves memo time.

The scramble was pretty easy overall, but there were two swapped edges I didn't see during memo; I got everything else though... :(

I use letter pair images for any kind of memo. I think I've got it worked out now.
Using monoflips on any corner on the front I'm good. Its those on the back I'm getting confused with.

Example: the sticker on BDR needs to go to DBR. From my POI I kept thining it needs to be flipped anti-clockwise :fp
 
PB avg5 fail:

1. 32.19[8.74] F2 U B2 R2 U F2 L2 U L2 U' R2 B L2 D' L F2 U F' L U2 L2
2. 34.92[11.68] R2 U2 B2 L2 R2 F' U2 L2 B' U2 B R' B2 D2 F U' B F R' F
3. 32.56[8.68] R2 D2 R2 B2 U' L2 R2 U2 F2 D' R' D2 B R B' L2 B2 L2 U2
4. 38.04[8.79] D2 L' B2 U2 F2 L2 B2 U2 L2 U' B' F' R' F D' F R2 F'
5. 33.00[11.15] D R2 D' F2 U' F2 D2 L2 U' R2 U2 B' R' B D2 U B L D B2 F'

33.49 avg5 at this point, very good but not PB. Let's try to roll!

6. 31.92[10.07] B2 R2 F L2 R2 B' U2 B L2 F L2 R B2 U L' R' F' D B2 L2

YES! I rolled out the best time with a better time! Now I just need to roll out that 34; I think I can do it, with a decent scramble.

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

*During memo* OMG OMG the scramble is awesome 1 edge skip 1 corner skip! This will be a sub30!
*During execution* Ok almost done, I'm 1 commutator away from my PB avg5.

Result: DNF(28.88)[7.42].

Reconstruction:

U R' D R U R' D' R U2 (9/9)
U L' D L U' L' D' L (8-1/16)
y' R2 D R' F2 R D' R' D F2 D' R' y (11/27)

L2 y U' R U M U' R' U M' y' L2 (10/37)
L R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R L' (13/50)
L' U' M' U R2 U' M U R2 L (10/60)
D' R2 D M2 D' R2 D M2 (8/68)
y' x U R U' M U R' U' M' (8/76)

Last alg should have been: y' x M U R U' M' U R' U'
:fp
 
1:01.91 3x3 BLD off by M at the end of the solution. I had just forgotten to do last move of last commutator, otherwise it could have been my PB by about 2 seconds.
 
11th 4BLD attempt off by 14 pieces. However, while watching my recording of it, I had solved everything except for two centers and two full edges, that I could solve with the normal 4x4 parity alg. But when I did the parity alg, I kinda knew I messed it up while solving, because I thought I was about to get my first success, I messed it up. An extra r slice or e slice it looked like. So either way it would've been/was a DNF, but off by two pieces would've been the closest yet. 10:50 memo, 17:57 total.

If you're getting so many failures, I recommend doing like 10 sighted solves before you try again.
