I randomly did a two-cube 222 multiblind and had a success, so I thought I'd try doing a normal two-cube multiblind to see if I'd succeed (the last time I tried multiblind was about a year ago for the forum weekly comps). No dice—I managed to solve the corners on both cubes, but I forgot a whole chunk of edge targets on both cubes.

One of these days…

I'm practicing MegaBLD
Untimed corner memo, 17:44 excecution perfect recall. I messed up an early set up move which threw off the whole solve. I kept going and got more comfortable with the set ups.
DNF but it was a good learning experience.

Once I get closer with corners I'll try edges.

It also helps that I'm learning Orozco which is like a more complex method of the one used for MegaBLD.

Reonstruction Here


tbh I'm not too mad about this, even though it would be pb by a significant margin because:
It shows that I can get these times
I used some really good comms and had a ton of cool cancelations
This is one of the stupidest scrambles I've ever seen. 21 algs, I memoed for 20 but executed 19 lol.

i was timing my cicles with UR and UF as buffers, since one has .1 more qtm average and .1 less htm average than the other
at the 170th ish i messed up a cyclce and when i went to delete the time i deleted the whole session, so had to restart
when i finished i averaged 1.5 with UF and 1.52 with UR
so i still dont have a buffer
great

My 2nd attempt at 3BLD was off by 2 flipped edges... I memo'd RM KC BG XL HU - DQ CN OL EM KP AH SH, but I should have had UG at the end :(

Oh well... maybe I'll get it next time.

Just had the saddest 5BLD DNF ever at UKC today. Not a nice scramble - had to go into 2 rooms for X centres which never happens, 4 cycle breaks in wings, and 3 twisted corners with 3/4 parities. I jokingly said to my judge before the solve that I couldn't remember how to execute parity - at the end of corner parity I went to execute U R U' R' U2 and instead executed U2 R U' R'. DNF, everything else was solved.

DNFed a 3:32 5BLD by 2 xcenters which, if successful, would have given me a 3:40 mo3 and 3:50 ao5 :(
(could have potentially rolled the ao5 as well)
