Thanks to 15s handicap memo is almost consistently sub-15s, +1:00 solves are nowhere to be seen at the moment!

Starting to practice 3BLD again. After a lot of DNF's, I got an amazing streak of 41 successes, with a 1:06.89 mean.

49.89, 56.13, 1:22.19, 1:03.92, 1:36.07, 1:07.73, 1:19.52, 1:18.76, 49.71, 43.39, 1:23.92, 1:08.08, 1:19.95, 1:15.03, 1:08.17, 1:14.51, 1:16.26, 1:36.70, 1:11.71, 1:14.50, 56.42, 52.75, 53.53, 1:34.13, 1:04.71, 1:13.12, 58.75, 1:04.91, 46.43, 1:31.20, 1:03.40, 1:14.80, 51.18, 52.49, 54.59, 1:02.39, 58.09, 1:28.11, 32.69, 1:05.37, 55.39

55.06 avg of 5, and 1:01.37 average of 12, not PB's but still decent. And a 32.69 3BLD with SUB TEN MEMO! Probably my first success with sub 10 memo.

5BLD: 14:40 (9:21). Wat? Didn't expect sub-15 so soon. Then, practicing small-ish MBLD to get the hang of it again so I can do bigger attempts: 7/7 25:51 (13:48), thought I messed up a U perm but didn't. Fastest attempt at 7 cubes, going to start keeping track of best n/n success. I still feel really slow when solving (probably because I am) but at least I'm improving :).

Was gonna try and get a 5x5 success for my 1000th post, but after a few days of DNFs I want to be able to post again. I guess this is worth posting :p

1:04.88 F R2 U' F U' L' U D' F' D2 L D2 R F2 R2 F2 L2 F2 D2 F2

Not sure if PB - execution was kinda normal but memo was stupid easy.

Nice scramble but first success with modded 5x5x5. The slice moves for doing centers are beastly but my outer layers are crap now :/ Not a good thing as my wings/midges were my fastest part of solving.

PS Trying to not post much before LO 2013, feeling superstitious :confused:

I can't believe in what I just did...:
3BLD: 24.85
Solution with scramble

Nice nice :) So many people with sub-30 times :/

I wish I could do as much BLD as you... I can barely do 5 attempts a day :\
The corners were IVDBMKD? if they were, I really suggest you use 2 letters per word instead of 1 letter per word, can make your memo much shorter.
