My very first 4BLD success using center comms, even tho scramble is easy. Would've been faster if I used U2, but once I get used to comms I think I'll get quicker.

I found a 17 centre solved scramble :p Apologies for the f b turns - blame my old version of prisma which I will update before I try again. This was the best of 20000 scrambles

How did you count the solved centres on 20000 scrambles?

Am fast scrambler.

Actually I made an excel spreadsheet.
In simple terms: Scramble is pasted in, scramble is decomposed into individual moves, each piece is tracked during each move by using a large matrix, end product is found, 24 orientations are checked, maximum is found. Then I wrote a little macro to make it go down a large list of scrambles.
In complicated terms: Even I don't know any more. It was complicated. Very complicated.

I might upload it sometime.

haha ok, I might make a program for something like this. I've already made a cube structure in c++ so something like this probably wouldn't be that hard to do.

Thanks! I'd like to have some competition, though. It's getting pretty boring...
Mike? =)

I've tried a couple of times, and failed pretty badly. I keep wanting to go fast. I also find it harder to be accurate at competitions I either organize or am heavily involved in running.

But honestly, even without those factors, I'm just not sure I'd have a chance at your streak - it really is incredible.

4BLD: Third succesful solve ever. Very safety memo and execution. Sub-10 should be easy with couple of more solves...

That's awesome! I've never gotten that close for any solve on a stackmat. I guess I usually only use a stackmat unelss I am for sure I will get sub-10.

Yeah, recently I've been using my stackmat to time memo and prisma for the actual time, but I finished memo at 6:30 ish so decided to go for it. Got lucky I suppose ;)

I can totally understand that. Last competition I asked a little kid to put my juggling balls away during the BLD rounds. Just in order to have as few things on my mind as possible.

9:59.994 Stackmat 4BLD (pro timer)

:D Congrats!

Tried to solve a cube blindfolded behind my back while juggling two balls (Mike Hughey style): Didn't drop a ball, but was off by an edge 3-cycle and 2 twisted corners. I have no idea why. :/

Aaaaaand I did it! :)
It was my fourth or fifth attempt and the time was probably around 5 minutes (I didn't time it).
