First sub 3!
2:51:80 with 52.xx memo. Maybe I should switch to R2 for corners?
(M2 for edges, orient permute for corners)

5x5x5 BLD: 12:54.66 it's for the weekly comp. I just didn't care at all, memoed fast and... got it! I hope I am more accurate after this, I have only had 3 successful solves now

OMG Ville, thats amazing. Time to replace that headband you use with a real blindfold now

So totally amazing! I know that it seems to me that if I don't care at all, that's when I have my best solves. Of course, I've never had anything like this!

I guess you still haven't beaten Chris on 5x5x5 BLD, but you're getting close, and it's just your third successful solve. (Chris's best on his website is 12:44.14, but it was in February - I wonder if he's beaten that time since then?)

I wonder what Mondo's third solve will be like.

 

[Ville Seppänen]

NO, SO CLOSE!

Nonlucky 3x3x3 BLD: 31.86!

It's 0.58 seconds slower that the UWR! Less that 2 sec from first sub 30!

I have the scrambe: L2 D B F2 L' F' D L2 D2 U B2 F D R' D2 U2 B' D' U L' R F L2 R' D2
I don't know if 5 oriented corners is lucky or not, but it doesn't matter for my solving. My solution:
[L' D' L, U']
y' [F' L' F, R2] y I didn't see D' R setup!
[L' D L, U]
z' [M', U' L' U] z
z U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R z'
[M, U L' U']
y R U R' U' R' U' R' U R, y' U2 M' U' R2 U M U' R2

EDIT: Headband ftw!!!
EDIT2: That's 57 moves STM btw

Wow that's amazing!
How fast was the memo?
You can probably memo during inspection and do BLD and it will be still a decent time for a speed solve!

 

[Ville Seppänen]

memo was sub 30
seriously I have no idea. execution was so good. Maybe it was 11s memo.


EDIT: 32.53 BLD! Scramble: B2 F D U2 B F D2 U L2 B F D2 R2 B2 F2 U B F' U2 L2 B2 F L B F
If you guys want the solution I can put it here later. But like, wtf? In 2 days I have gotten my first 2 sub 35 BLDs and 2 LL skips! Just wow.
EDIT2: 34.41 So it's 3 sub35s in 2 days.

I decided to practice 5x5 bld, because on my last solve for weekly competition I was feeling like I could do better than sub-12. So first I got 10:32, beating my PB by over a minute and the next day I again beat my record by over a minute with a time – 9:30.64. This solve was in no way lucky: 2 wings, 2 +centers and 4 Xcenters in place. Memo took 4:05 - 4:10.

Whoa! Sub-10 5x5x5 BLD! (With quite a bit of room to spare!) Rafal, you are amazing!!!

What method do you use to memorize a 5x5x5?

Wow, amazing. Is this the first sub-10 for 5x5 bld ever?

I did it once.... [size=-10000]then I woke up.[/size]

I never heard of one before. Probably the best possibility for someone else would be Rowe.

 

[Zava]

well, Matyi did it a while ago, but obviously, he is a "cheater, liar, thief" so you don't have to/ won't believe it.
