Finally officially sub-20. https://www.cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=4645&compid=12 5BLD was main goal, but no success there. Had 1 slow 4BLD success. Coulda been low 9:00 but I was remembering my previous 5BLD memo for edges. Surprised I got it sorted out correctly, but wasted a lot of time. Two...

ao12: 2.05 = 2.22, (1.79), 1.86, (2.40), 1.98, 2.33, 1.85, 2.37, 2.18, 2.07, 1.81, 1.86 .93 is amazing to me, and there were also lots of low 1's, and this wasn't even the fast group. There's not an event where the records even seem humanly possible, yet they continue to get broken.

Something kinda crazy happened earlier this week. I had only had three sub-13 3x3 singles ever, with a PB of 12.76. I got a 12.85, which was my 3rd best ever, then 5 solves later got a 12.54. Almost had 2 of my top 4 fastest solves ever in the same average (still would have been just shy of PB...

There's 11 to start with (if 11 are solved, 12th has to be). When I was new to blind, since times weren't a concern, before starting the edge tracing, I'd check all the edges to see how many are flipped or solved. Subtract that number from 11 (and take note of flipped ones). This is the number...

Another comp from this weekend. http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3961&compid=48 Was happiest about sub-10:00 4BLD. Wasn't sure I could do that in comp. Got a OPWR (old people world record) with a lucky skewb single (4.34). Had a +2 in the average. A non-lucky sub-16 3x3 single, but sub-20...

Comp results from Friday/Sunday - http://www.cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3801&compid=5 Finally had a round of 2x2 that wasn't completely sloppy, no 5BLD success, 4BLD PB barely, MBLD was disappointing, 3x3 wasn't close to sub-20. Weird stat that may be a first - had PBs in 2x2 avg and 4BLD with...

I've got one next weekend. It's a 3 day comp with every event. but I already had plans for Saturday, so I'm going Friday for 4BLD and 5BLD and back Sunday for MBLD, 2x2, and 3x3. Mainly going for the slim chance of a 5BLD success.

My comp results from Saturday http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3474&compid=87 Highlights were getting sub-9 clock avg, even after messing up the first two solves 10.23, 13.04, 7.40, 7.69, 8.23 = 8.72 and a sub-7 single in the first round (6.96)

The last comp I went to, which was in the Charlotte area so maybe not too far depending on where in Virginia you are, had a 70 minute cumulative limit for 3BLD and 4BLD together. You'd have time for two attempts even now, or three attempts by the time the next comp comes around, if the...

New 3BLD PB of 1:13.83. It was an easy 10/6 scramble, but it was also almost 7 seconds better than my previous PB, so it was a good solve too. Then tried only my 3rd practice MBLD since 2016. No such luck there. 6/10 59:02. It's the first time I've done 10 under an hour, so that's good at...

The parity alg will swap two of the solved corners, but since those two corners also get swapped during each edge piece that you solve and you will have an odd number of edges, those two corners will end up back in the correct position

A mixed bag of results at comp. Had 5 PBs, which was more than I hoped for, but didn't hit any of my specific targets. Highlights were an 11:14 4BLD which was lucky enough to get 1st place, and a 7.13 clock single. http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3308&compid=18

Comp for me tomorrow too. I'll post some goals because why not-- at least 3 PBs including one of the following (in order of likelihood): 2x2: sub 6 avg clock: sub 9 avg pyra: sub 10 avg 3x3: sub 20 avg 3BLD: any avg 4BLD: sub 10:00 Practicing yesterday, had my first sub 8 clock avg of 12...

I'll take a shot at it. Learning BLD is a daunting task for most. Adding algs to learn plus the odd/even switch just adds to the difficulty (even if it's not all that much more), when that's just less you have to worry about with OP. So you can learn the stuff necessary to do what seems like an...

Good job. Considering what thread we're in, I interpreted "by over 40s" to mean 'by people over 40 years old', and was confused for a bit. Then I had the 'Ohhh, I see' moment.
