bldcuber314's Road to 5BLD NR- Quitting cubing?

bldcuber314 · Jan 3, 2025

12/12 51:01 MBLD PB single! This is a huge jump from my 8/10 previous PB, and it's great to finally have a good PB in this event. This is actually my first N/N result since my first success, which was a 2/2

.

I structured this attempt with three packs of four, using a variation of a memory palace system which I personally prefer to the standard system. With this system, I assign each cube a different room or place(such as my bedroom, or a classroom, it's not hard to think of 12 places) and fit all of my memo from that cube(one image for edges, one for corners) into that one room without splitting the room into locations. I like this better as there are less images to remember, I end up assigning more meaning to the memo(which I find easier to remember) and the images feel less claustrophobic as they can take up the entire room instead of a small location such as a shelf.

This attempt was very smooth, and I made good time despite it still essentially being a safety as there was very little chance of me hitting the 1 hour limit.

My reviews-

Memo means memoed for the first time, and review that cube a couple of times.
Review means mentally review cubes, and check the cube if I need to.

For edge flips and corner twists, I memoed with letter pairs, but backed them up visually which I found to be the best system after previously memoing only visually.

After a couple of days with the RS3M V5, I'm really liking the cube, and have gotten 7 sub 10s on it(I think). One of them was a 9.45 at 7.40 TPS, which I think is my best TPS out of solves I've managed to reconstruct. In general I'm averaging a lot better.

Today I've been doing really well in 3BLD, and after about 20-30 solves(I get tired very quickly in 3BLD, this was over 2 sessions) these were my best solves. I've also been trying a new system that's working nicely, where I execute corner twists(I execute corners first) at the end of the solve, so that I can execute edges sooner before I forget the memo.

The 35.29 was a PB fail because of a 2-3 second pause in exec. This was actually entirely avoidable because I had correctly recalled the pair before the pause, but paused because I thought there was a pair I had forgotten to recall. Still a nice time though!

The 35.32 was from earlier today so I can't really remember it, apparently it was another PB fail lol. I think I made an exec error and had to undo it.

So today, I've been doing 'calm' 3BLD solves where I don't rush through memo or execute in a harsh and fast way. This is really helping my success rate, and my exec is much smoother! I also changed my S-move fingertricks for I, S, Q and my 2-flip alg to avoid regrips, which I couldn't do on my old cube.

So before I got tired and my success rate started dropping, I was averaging low 40s to high 30s, with two sub 40 means(including one in @Puzzle Maniac 's comp) and around 50% accuracy, which is bad but really good for me. I also got a 38.85 ao5, which is PB but I don't really keep track of 3BLD ao5s.

I've also learnt how to skip I and S targets in M2, and I'm still getting used to it but I've started using it in solves that won't be a good time anyway as practice.

In 3x3, I'm getting way more sub 10s(around 5% of my solves now), and have three averages with a counting 9(all flops lol, even though two were counting low 9s) and a 9.92 BPA. And through all this my PB ao5 is 11.18, which I'm hoping to improve to around mid 10.

So I'm no longer anonymous(my WCA is 2023JAIN31) so I'll do a comp recap from this weekend.

On Saturday I went to Crewe Favourites 2025-

3x3 R1- 12.92 average, 10.74 single, nothing special, not warmed up(still faster than my global because I do well in comp for 3x3 for whatever reason)

3x3 finals- 12.23 PR average, 11.69 single, nice average.

2x2 R1- 3.64 average, 2.93 single, pretty bad.

2x2 finals- 4.37 average, 2.91 single, I don't want to talk about it, I got a personal worst 11.83 single woohoo

Pyra R1- 4.38 PR average, 3.82 single, pretty good.

Pyra finals- 4.10 PR average, 3.42 single, on the 3rd solve an edge piece came out as I stopped the timer so it was a DNF, without this it would have been a 3.73 average.

Clock finals- 8.46 single followed by 4 DNFs, final solve was 7.73 but both the judge and I forgot to sign

Sq1 finals- 52.23 PR average, 32.03+ PR single, sub 30 fail and also had a DNF by 2 moves that would have made this a 44 average, but making cutoff was my main goal anyway.

Today was Crewe FMC 2025-

MBLD finals- 12/13 51:13 PR single! Very happy with this, I ended up making really good time(despite starting badly) when I was worried about crossing the hour. DNF was by 3c, not sure why. This attempt also had some distractions and was not an ideal setup, so I'm glad I managed to pull through for my first podium/first win!

FMC- 41.67 overall PB mean, 41 tied overall PB single. First attempts ever with blockbuilding, skeletons and insertions(to an extent lol, I still don't know how to do them properly) so I'm happy with how this went. Turns out FMC is actually kinda fun.

3BLD R1- DNFed first 2(nothing special, a 40 and a 43) so safetied a 1:10 to make finals.

3BLD finals- 45.32 PR single(slower than my global). I also DNFed a 36.49 because of 1 wrong move in exec(I think), really annoyed about this but hopefully I can get something faster next 3BLD comp. This was still first place though.

Overall this was a great comp, 3BLD didn't go the way I wanted but still got some great PRs and my first podiums!

bldcuber314 · Jan 12, 2025

As I previously couldn't talk about comps, I'll basically do a post about where I am WCA-wise and my official goals generally and in each event. (Long post incoming).

I have been to 12 comps all in the UK, and have results in 13 events. I also have 2 gold medals, and my best world ranking is 476 in MBLD. Generally, I perform well in comps with similar results to at home.

3x3-
10.23 single is OK but I'm hoping for sub 10 soon.
12.23 average is good, maybe sub 12 soon.

2x2-
1.77 single, I can improve it with a good scramble. Hopefully one day I'll get something lucky enough for Japanese NR single of 0.99.
3.05 average is OK, but I'm hoping for sub 3 soon(my cube feels horrible though, and I'm sort of moving away from this event for this reason)

4x4- 57.53 single(good) and 1:09 average(bad)

5x5- 2:10.64 single(PB) and 2:53 average(2:10 missed cutoff)

Haven't competed yet in 6x6 or 7x7.

3BLD- 45.36 single(bad, I have 36 DNF) and no mean yet(not too concerned with this, I don't think I'll go out of my way to safety a mean unless it's a first round)

FMC- 41 single(PB) and 41.67 mean(PB)

OH- 29.20 single and 32.78 average(PB)

Clock- 8.08 single(7.73 got DNFed because of no signatures) and no average(hopefully next time)

Mega- 1:47.84 single(PB) and 2:17 average(bad, 1:47 missed cutoff)

Pyra- 2.27 single(did the wrong solution on a non-magnetic years-old cube back when I averaged 6, if I got this scramble now it would probably be NR(1.34)
4.10 average(decent, but pop DNF out of 3.73)

Skewb- 5.92 single, 9.41 average, I have no goals for this event(sorry @CubeLite )

Squan- 32.03 single(+2 and sub 30 fail lol) and 52.23 average(dumb DNF out of 44 average)

MBLD- 12/13 51:13 single, my best world ranking(476 when I got it).

4BLD/5BLD- No PRs right now, but I'm working towards Japanese NR 5BLD mean(maybe even at Weston-super-Mare in May)

bldcuber314 · Jan 13, 2025

3:52.54 4BLD PB single in weekly comp(1:39 memo), finally sub 4!

bldcuber314 · Jan 14, 2025

My current focus is now on the Japanese NR 5BLD mean, which is currently 18:54. I average around 11-12 minutes but haven't had a success recently so my PB single is 16:03.

I'm currently trying to get a decent PB single, then I'll start practicing safe solves where I go slowly to try to get a success around 17-18 minutes. I also plan to do some compsims where I do 3 attempts in one sitting, to practice more effectively and see if I should build extra memory palaces for official 5BLD rounds.

The next UK comp holding 5BLD that I might be able to go to is Weston-super-Mare Spring 2025(May 17-18), which has one round of 5BLD. The cumulative limit is 1 hour across both 4BLD and 5BLD, meaning that if I try to safety NR mean I will likely have time for only one or two 4BLD attempts. I'd be OK with this if it got me NR though, and if I get a 5BLD DNF at any point I would probably switch to 4BLD and come back to 5BLD if I have time.

In the mean time hopefully the NR will stay at 18:54, and hopefully this progress goes well and ends with an NR!

bldcuber314 · Jan 15, 2025

Finally beat my PB 3BLD single(it'd been really bad for a while) by 6 seconds with my first sub 30(first PB with nod-don)!

Generated By csTimer on 2025-01-15
single: 28.45

Time List:
1. 28.45[7 sec memo, small exec error but PB by 6 seconds!] F B2 R2 U2 R' B2 L2 U2 R' U2 B2 R2 D' F' U B' F' U2 R' D2 U Rw2

Memo was pretty decent, maybe could have been high 6 but it was late into the session and I was tired. The solve was 16 algs(M2/OP) and the edge targets were really good for M2, which made the exec 21 seconds(PB exec by around 4 seconds I think) despite a small mistake in corner exec. It's great to finally have a good 3BLD PB again, and I'm liking my rate of improvement!

I'll also taking the few months before my next 3BLD comp(probably) as an opportunity to get more comfortable with Orozco(I still use OP corners lol, this is getting ridiculous) and hopefully begin learning 3-style as well, I don't want to keep putting it off but I've been quite busy.

I also switched to left hand for OH literally because 'RU moves are fun to do left-handed' and turns out that was the motivation I needed to finally switch to left hand...

I broke my PB single with a 22.36(my 24.15 was my oldest PB, and stood for over 11 months), my PB ao5(29.10) and PB ao12(31.30). Until yesterday my 3BLD was around the same speed as my OH, and I guess that's not true anymore.

bldcuber314 · Jan 19, 2025

Averaging 12, with a sub 30 3BLD single, and two first places officially, I finally finished learning PLL

Also 3.70 PB Pyra ao12 and 11:25 5BLD DNF by 3 corners(5:17 memo, some pauses in exec)

bldcuber314 · Jan 25, 2025

I'm going to the US in the summer, and I might be able to go to the Great Lakes Championship 2025 in Illinois(August 1-3)!!!

The comp holds every event, but I probably won't be able to attend all 3 days. so I'll just go to Day 1 and 2(I'll miss 2x2, Squan, Clock, 4x4, 7x7 and potentially some later rounds). I figured I might as well make some goals(might as well have something to work towards whether or not I can actually go to this).

3x3- I can only compete in one round, so goal is sub 11.5 average(don't know if this will be PR in August).
2x2- Can't compete
4x4- Can't compete
5x5- No goals
6x6- Make time limit(5 mins)
7x7- Can't compete
3BLD- Sub 33 single or sub 40 mean, make finals
FMC- PR mean(41.67), sub 40 single
OH- PR average(32.78) and single(29.20)
Clock- Can't compete
Mega- Make cutoff(1:45), sub 1:55 average
Pyra- Can only compete in two rounds, sub 4 average.
Skewb- Solve the Skewb 5 times.
Squan- Can't compete
4BLD- (If I get a success at Weston-super-Mare I can qualify). Depends on if I have time left from NR attempt in 5BLD, but sub 4:30 single
5BLD- (If I get a success at Weston-super-Mare) NR mean(18:54)
MBLD- (If I make top 18 and qualify) PR single(12/13 51:13), ideally want to attempt 15 cubes.

Now that I've spent time making goals hopefully I can actually go... Is anybody else planning on going?

I finally broke my 3x3 PB ao5 yesterday with a 10.73, finally the sub 11 average that should have happened weeks ago. I also got a 12.90 PB ao100, which I'm hoping to roll. Then today I was doing 3x3 compsim(for Stevenage March) and this happened-

(This average had one solve rolling from the previous compsim)-

This also got me a 9.59 PB mo3, and I followed this average with a 10.11 to finish off the 10.22 compsim average. I know I could have definitely gotten a sub 10 average here, and I doubt this'll be the last of my near misses, but I'm really happy with this and didn't expect to come so close to a sub 10 average so soon.

So UKC 2025 is going to be in Birmingham, which I might be able to go to, but it's in August three weeks after Great Lakes so if I go to that I don't think I can go to UKC as well. Hopefully UKC gets announced before registration opens for Great Lakes, because which one I want to go to might depend on qualifications for UKC. I'll probably be able to do more events in Great Lakes since there aren't any qualifications except for BLD, but I don't know yet.

I'm averaging sub 40 on 3BLD! 5BLD practice is going really badly though, I did a safety attempt this morning and it was off by 4 + centers(I don't even know why) and a bunch of wings and other centers because I did a wrong move in wing exec(thought it was in x-centers but I watched the video back and it was an r2 in wings). But I did get this solve in 3BLD!

The memo was absolutely trash, I messed up edge memo so just took it safe and reviewed, making a 21 sec memo. Then I started exec, which was 245 moves STM (135 corners + 108 edges) and 27 seconds!(I calculated assuming 27.00, which is a decent estimate since the timer showed 21s as I donned the blindfold, so exec probably started at high 21 or low 22). This made the TPS 9.07, which doesn't sound like anything insane but I average 12 on 3x3 and exec has always been my weakness so this was pretty nice. M2/OP is goated for TPS lol.

While M2/OP is great for TPS, I can't hide from the fact that this solve was 245 moves so I am regularly practicing Orozco corners and hope to switch to it soon(I haven't started learning parity algs though, since they're all setups to PLLs it shouldn't be too bad).

I'm grinding safe 5BLD, my 2 attempts this morning went OK(first was off by 3w because I missed a pair in exec, one was a success). I'm also getting much more comfortable with Orozco corners, and hope to switch to it once I learn some better D face algs and parity(with UF/UR swap and parity algs).

I also got this 3x3 solve, 0.02 from PB-

Time List:
1. 7.78 L' B' U F2 R B2 U' R U2 F U2 B D2 B2 U2 L2 U2 R2 B R2

The solution was really dumb. 4 move cross on white, I rotated for first pair even though there was a really good pair that would have led to a 22 move F2L(not including cross). 2nd pair was R U2 R' U' R. 3rd pair was easy (R U' R' U R U R'), if I had just keyholed the pair in the back(5 moves) I could have preserved the easy case and had a rotationless last 2 pairs, but instead I just solved 3rd pair normally. This led to a y2 rotation into a triple sexy(except last U'). Then did 2 look OLL normally(bruh) and got kinda bad cases into a (predicted) PLL skip. I have no idea how that terrible solution became a 7, but hopefully it means I can break my PB single soon.

Sub Japanese NR 5BLD mean!!! I've had sub NRs before(OK in 2 events), but in things like Pyra single where I do hundreds of solves and get a lucky scramble. This is my first sub NR that feels possible in comp! Also WR105 if official, hopefully I can roll to get that under 100.

Since my GAN 251M Pro broke(again), and I've just been hating this cube every time I buy it, I bought a Dayan Tengyun 2M(this was my old main and I loved it)

Got a 2.70 PB ao12, 2.94 PB ao25 and 3.05 PB ao50!

I also did my first 15 cube MBLD attempt. I thought I had 15 cubes, but looks like I miscounted so I had to use a 4x4 as a 3x3 and kept thinking I had turned the wrong layers.

For this attempt, I arranged my cubes completely differently to how I used to, and had a sort of 4x4 square with the top right corner missing. My review system-

M means memo
R means review
E means execute

M1-4
R1-4
M5-6
R1-6
M7-8
R5-8
M9-12
R1-12
M13-14
R1-14
M15(3BLD cube)
E15-1

I also changed all of my rooms from 9 cubes and beyond.

My rooms now-

Cubes 1 to 4- Rooms in my house
Cubes 5 to 8- Areas in my school, past schools
Cubes 9 to 12- Mario Kart Wii tracks. Even though I barely play MKWii, I realised that the tracks are perfect rooms as they have a lot of character, and are bright and spacious. I can also visualise them very clearly. From now on, when I'm adding cubes I'll probably just add more tracks as it's easy to think of new ones and I doubt I'll ever run out. In case you're wondering, the 4 tracks I chose were Mushroom Gorge, Peach Beach, Coconut Mall and Koopa Cape(all bright and interesting tracks from different cups).
Cubes 13 and 14- Just 2 random rooms
Cube 15- No room, just a safe 3BLD solve.

I finished memo in just over 36 minutes, and I executed way too fast resulting in one exec error(an M move I think). My other DNF was because I forgot memo, guessed the pair incorrectly, and the cube was off by a 2-twist.

I'm fairly happy with a 13/15 52:25, I'm surprised to have so much time left over and hopefully I can work up to 17 cubes before my next official attempt. I'll have to buy some more cubes so that I don't have to use a 4x4 as a 3x3...

Did 117 2x2 solves today, and I was getting really good scrambles in the first half of the session which led to a bunch of PBs and a big PB fail-

This average was really annoying, I've been going for sub 2 for a while, and this was the closest fail I've had. 1st solve was a nicely executed 15 mover, 2nd solve was a 13 mover with a lockup, 4th was a 6 mover with pause at the end(it was actually a misscramble, but I count misscrambles as I only look back over scrambles I did well on, so removing misscrambles would add bias). Then on the 5th solve, on green I saw it was one move into an LS that I knew(an alg I just made by messing around) and it was a 9 mover. Then I completely messed up the execution and DNFed. When I tried the scramble again I got a 1.46, which would have made this a 1.69 average, and if I had gone for the white layer it would have easily been sub 2. Sucks, but hopefully I can get sub 2 soon(also the 1.69 average would have made my 2025 goal of sub 1.7 average)

Got some other nice PBs though-

I registered for Weston-super-Mare Spring 2025! Because I forgot about registration and registered 7 mins late, I'm on the waiting list for 6x6 and 7x7 but hopefully I make it, this is a rare opportunity to get big cube results as the time limits are lenient. Thankfully I barely made it in to 4BLD/5BLD(20th out of 20 spots lol). Goals for the comp-

3x3- Make finals, sub 12 average, sub 10 single

4x4- Sub 1:05 average, sub 55 single

5x5- PR single(2:10.64)

6x6- Get a mean, with time left for 7x7(30 mins cumulative across both)

7x7- Get a single

3BLD- Sub 35 single, podium

OH- PR average(32.78), sub 28 single

Clock- Sub 9.5 average or sub 8 single

Mega- Sub 1:45 single, sub 1:55 average

4BLD- Sub 4 single, but depends on if I have time left from 5BLD(60 mins cumulative across both)

5BLD- NR mean(18:54)

Also my 5x5 is currently in pieces, I'm trying to put it back together but I might have to send it to KewbzUK's rebuild service(I'm having a lot of trouble).
