My first over 10 cube mbld since I switched to UFR corners ~2.5 weeks ago: 41/42 in 58:46!!

Super hyped about this accuracy considering the new buffer. That's awesome for me. Time is slow but I was expecting that.
The single DNF was because an edge popped during a 2-flip alg and I managed to catch the edge and put it back in correctly, but lost my place in the alg and guessed one move off.

Learned full UF/UFR parity (462 cases). I probably can't exec all of them on the fly rn at full speed (especially blindfolded), but I'm drilling the algs every day now so I will be able to eventually.

And I'm glad I still have around a month to practice before my next comp :D

First large mbld attempt in a while (at least, a while compared to normal for me, like 10 days)
43/50 in 58:51.62[37:36.16]

Accuracy is kinda disappointing especially considering it was 5 DNFs from stupid exec errors, and 1 DNF from overlooking a flipped edge (remaining DNF was forgotten corners on a cube), but I'm really happy with the time :)
I think all of the rushed 18 cube attempts from the last week helped a lot, cus goddamn look at these memo splits:

memo+review 1-8: 3:45 (and I badly messed up memo on a cube here too)
memo+review 9-16: 3:32
review 1-16: 2:40 (3 passes on 1-16 done sub-10!)
memo+review 17-24: 4:10
memo+review 25-32: 3:56
memo+review 17-32: 2:41
review 1-32: 5:34
memo+review 33-40: 3:55
memo+review 41-48: 3:57
review 33-48: 2:29
memo 49: 0:37
memo 50: 0:19 lol

Average time to memo+review each 8 pack was 3:52!! Really stoked about this. Also, average time for each 16 pack review was 2:36, which is really awesome for me as well. And I managed to long term memo the first 32 cubes in 26:17 and only forgot a small portion of one cube :)

This is a collective achievement: the infamous Haiyan Zhuang is out of the top 100 best 3BLD singles!

He is 102th in the ranking at the moment https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2008ZHUA01

Congratulations to all 101 persons solved it under 30.94 in competition!

Fábio De'Rose was probably one of the last to surpass him.

Indulge my ignorance, who is this guy and what made him infamous? Sounds like an interesting story.

Edit: A quick glance at his profile makes me guess, did he only ever do BLD solves even in normal 3x3? Looks like he was pretty dominant in BLD for a while.
