(10:58, DNF, DNF, ...)

Edit note: I was first sub-11 in Sweden then. Now. three lousy days later I am number 3!! Sigh.

New multi goal: attempt 20 cubes in an hour. Still working on the new system. Progress is slow because I don't have as much time to practice.

Multi: 3/5 in 18:05.58 [10:52/7:12], 4/5 in 13:56.18 [8:55/5:00], DNS = 4/5 in 13:56.18

Great time improvement.

(Will do the other attempts tomorrow, unless a new round starts.)

Round 23 Results


Results for round 23 are updated and can be found here (Google Sheets). Different events in different tabs. Please inform me if you find any mistakes.


Round 24
Racing to sub-x (and other goals for multi) in all the official blindfolded events. Set the goal, and keep it up for three weeks in a row - or 4 weeks out of 5 - in order to graduate and set a new goal. If you take a hiatus, you won't lose your streak. If you are first time racing, or changed your method, please include it to your post as well (no need for that in MBLD though).

MBLD
Generate your own scrambles. You can do three attempts per week if you wish to, the best one is count as your result. 1 hour time limit.

You may set whatever goal you feel like, because multi can get so long-term. You can race to a tough goal, or try to keep up your current level. You can also set time goals if you wish to; you decide it!

Good luck!

MBLD (23 pts)

20/25 1:24:31 [58:57] //memo was a disaster

17/25 1:15:xx [50:xx] //pretty good memo at the first 16, however forgot things and did stupid execution mistakes -> dragged the execution time up

I think I'll start doing first 16 and last 9 separately, that's probably going to help me tremendously.


My cstimer stopped saving the times, any advice? Couple days ago all my times just got deleted and now nothing appears on the times list.

Multi: 3/5 in 15:05.77 [9:10/5:55], 4/5 in 14:22.73 [9:09/5:13], 2/5 in 15:31.89 [9:29/6:02] = 4/5 in 14:22.73
Once I finish my corner comm list and start drilling it, execution should go down a lot.
4BLD: 5:39.80 [2:59/2:40], DNF(5:53 [2:46/3:06]), DNF(5:52 [2:51/3:01]), DNS, DNS = 5:39.80
Now using comms for centers, looking to get back to where I used to be.

MBLD (25 cubes sub-hour)

Drilling 17 until... sub-40? At least I have to drill my corner comms, I noticed I barely use any at the moment (my execution is almost a minute/cube).

1. 14/17 46:29 [31:15] couple random execution errors
 
Good to be back :)

3bld goal sub 1:50
Mo6 DNS

4bld goal get a success
Bo5: ~10:20.xx
1. something around 10:22. Decided to randomly change my memo and execution order halfway through the solve before realizing that wouldn't work. Stackmat timed out so I checked time off of footage.
2. DNF(8:18.85) didn't undo a l' setup or did l instead of l2 to undo a setup. That was the only mistake.
3. DNF(6:06.92) off by 2 center targets and 6 wing targets
4. DNF(8:02.68) think I mixed up the order of some wing pairs. All but 13 wings solved.
5. DNF(8:37.96)

Multibld goal 3+ Points
Bo3: 12/13 in 59:02.11
1. 9/13 in 1:08.13
(I figured out what I had at 1 hour but I forgot and it sucks anyway lol.
2. 12/13 in 59:38.68
Forgot to execute the pair CF which resulted in the dnf cube off by a 3cycle
3. 12/13 in 59:02.11
Traced the final letter pair of the 3bld cube as SB when it was SM. 100% execution and recall accuracy but that memo mistake resulted in my 3bld cube being off by 2 flipped edges :P

Feeling like joining in on all the fun, starting to get into 3BLD a bit more seriously so we'll see how I go! Hopefully I'm not too slow to participate!

3BLD Goal: Sub 3:30
TuRBo/OP
Mo6: 3:41.08

1. 3:38.19
2. 3:11.55
3. (DNF[4:42.46]) [2 flipped edges]
4. (DNF[3:17.51]) [edge 3-cycle]
5. 4:01.35
6. 4:08.55
7. (4:15.60)
8. (DNF[4:23.57]) [edge 3-cycle]
9. (DNF[5:03.12]) [added an unnecessary corner target at the end]
10. 3:36.67
11. (DNF[3:47.09]) [Messed up during execution]
12. 3:30.14

This may very well be the most 3BLD solves I've done in a day. Success rate seems fairly good, and I feel like I'm a lot closer to my target than I initially thought!

MBLD Goal: 2/2 in sub 10:00
Attempt #1: 1/2 in 11:05.41, second cube off by 4c,2e. Memo in 5:11.64

Guess I'm back :p

Not a very good result but I'll take it. I swear edge flips will be the death of me, lol.

Had been a while since I last did BLD with Box + Stackmat too. This and the lack of warm-up might have weighed in a bit towards the sup-60s.

Hopefully I can get back on a good streak xD
