Just awesome!!!
Not related to this, but if I'm using commutators corners and I get parity, what exactly am I supposed to do? I'm using OP currently for corners and I fix parity with an extra shoot to UBR

I assume you mean 5x5x5BLD. If after your extra shoot to UBR you have the 2-cycle (UBL UBR) then solve your midges (middle edges) such that you have two of them to swap. Say you have UBm and UFm to swap. You can do an outer layer only T-perm on the U face to swap the corners and midges, but this will result in the wing cycle (UBl UFr)(UBr UFl). You can use (R2 r2) (F2 f2) U2 r2 U2 (F2 f2) (R2 r2) to perform the previous wing cycle. Neither the T perm nor this wing cycle are center safe, so make sure that you have solved centers before fixing parity.

(5:03.69), 5:11.50, 5:09.06, (5:13.22), 5:08.63 = 5:09.73 ao5

stupidly easy scrambles for memo

Wow! This is so inspiring! Congratulations!

Thanks a lot Chris

How are you so damn accurate at BLD^
ao12s on 3bld, average of 5s for 4bld... Nice job

Thank you
It depends on how focused I am usually. I sometimes get 10 3bld DNFs in a row. I'm not too accurate on 4BLD overall (I'm pretty new to it so I don't actually know). So far I've gotten 18/55

Speaking of 3bld ao12s though, I got a new PB.

You have already done 55 4bld. I'm slowly sorting out memo. Some letter pairs are horrrible to find a word for on the fly. JL or XV, XW, QX (pretty much any thing with x in expect a few things). So by the comp I will hopfully doing all BLD events a bit.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Yeah I've been doing 2-3 a day. Look at the letter pair list on the wiki if you need some inspiration.
For pairs starting with X (that I don't have a specific word for) I just use electrocuted (word from 2nd letter), like the formula kind of thing in the wiki.
E.g. XF = electrocuted frog

 

[Tao Yu]

Another way you could find words for tricky letter pairs is to use regexdict.

For example, if you wanted to find something for the letter pair XY, type in ^x.*y into the "String" box. It will return all of the words in the English dictionary that begin in X and end in Y.

This is only for suggestions obviously, but you can often find pretty good words there. Depends on the letter pair.
You could also learn Regular expressions if you want to use the site to its full potential.

Also, JL = Jail.

If you have to think of them on the fly, just try come up with something weird and random.

Edit: 3BLD: 28.92 R D2 L F2 L' D2 R2 U2 B2 D2 R' F' L' F' U F2 L' D2 F L (7/8'')

Thanks for the link. I saw it posted the other day (from you I assume), but I haven't made as much use of it as I should.

How long was the memo?

 

[mycube]

How long was the memo?

I guess about 11-13 minutes, finished my memo of the first 6 cubes right after 6:30.

 

[AmazingCuber]

@ mycube nice!!! What method was that? Since when do you do BLD/MBLD?

 

[mycube]

thanks
I use Letter Pairs and Rooms for memo and full BH execution. I do BLD since January 2012 but changed my whole memo/execution last september

I've been doing multi for a while and I put the story of one cube in one room, say, my living room or bed room and try linking the story to the room somehow. Is that how Roman rooms and your memos work? Sorry for posting this in the wrong thread.

I don't really have 'rooms' but places in one room. e.g my first 6 places are: my bed, my bedside table, next to this a bookshelf, then my table, a locker, again my table, another locker and then next to my room I have a bathroom and there are several other places, and so on. On each place the memo of one cube.
