Also just tried 4x4 centers bld. 12:16.92, off by 4 centers :/ Memo was about 2:30.

Weird... Next try 12:16.14 (Memo 3:15). Less than a second off the first. 5 centers off this time.

I was stuck on T->X->W (Speffz) for about 2 minutes. Still not sure if I did it right.

My memo was 12:30

I will suck at 4x4 bld because I always forget that I'm in the middle of a solve. In that solve I sat for 7 minutes just recalling the first 5 letters over and over... because I forgot I was supposed to memo the cube.

xD lolwut.

 

[mati rubik]

[porkynator]

Did my weekly MULTI BLD and 5x5x5 BLD today.

MULTI BLD 5/5 - 12:05.29 mins

5x5x5 BLD - 14.06.71 mins (new PB)

The 5x5x5 had 3 parity cases, so "nl".

Yay Dennis! Nice time too! :tu

First BLD solve in about a week was a 1:28.xy

I'm happy with it. Getting faster by not practicing? Hmm...

This was a few day ago and I didn't post because it was in the morning and I forgot
1:42.8x 3BLD.
This had about 18s edge memo, but terrible corner memo. I can't remember the exact total memo time, but it must've been about 45.
Been doing a lot of blind, my short term memory is getting better
Edit: I think it was 2, maybe 3 edges solved. 1 corner solved, but it was my buffer, so that = -1 corners solved

Nice solve Jonny, and yes BLD improvement sometimes goes like that

Nice one Tim! :tu

 

[DennisStrehlau]

Yay Dennis! Nice time too! :tu

Thanks Chris. How long do you need for SOLVING the 5x5x5 BLD?

Dennis...

 

[uberCuber]

just did an avg12 of corners-only solves, mainly so I could measure how long it takes me to do the rushed letter pair syllable audio memo for corners, and also to make sure that I can actually get them right every time
am using Old Pochmann corners

Average of 12: 46.84
1. 47.47 [16.53]
2. (57.34) [13.84]
3. 47.03 [18.36]
4. 45.61 [15.72]
5. 41.76 [14.84]
6. 44.50 [14.08]
7. 56.51 [23.16]
8. 40.58 [16.65]
9. (28.58) [8.80]
10. 57.06 [22.68]
11. 39.50 [13.37] <--hehe
12. 48.39 [16.91]

now to work on my story-ish edge memo a bit, and then I'll go back to doing full solves again

Hi Dennis,

I timed some of my splits a couple months ago and wrote them up here. I haven't timed any splits recently to be honest.

 

[theace]

I got my first ever BLD success yesterday at 4pm! Absolutely flipped! There were just 2 edge cycles. A major thanks to everyone who helped me get there! Specially Chris, whose memo system I have been using. Thanks guys!

The memo:
Edges:
SMGBTUAVFNPF
Some Gibson Turned a VFNPF parity
Corners:
EH... UM... Deeee!

I use a rather odd lettering scheme. I'll post it later.

As for the solve, there wasn't really a way to time it considering I did it during a lecture. After I finished the solve (under the desk) I looked at the solved cube and got butterflies in my stomach. Did something really silly afterwards! I Slammed the cube on the desk and started yelling YES! Everyone was like: wtf? And I was like I SOLVED IT BLINDFOLDED! FRICKIN BLINDFOLDED! HAHAHAHAHAHA! And then I ran out of class to call all my cuber friends.

I Didn't bother to go back to class as the gravity of what I did hit me later xD but yeah. I NEVER thought I'd be able to do it. Wait, lemme rephrase that. I thought I'd NEVER be able to do it. Yay!

Funny story And welcome into BLD - it's always great to get that first solve.

 

[Tomas1988]

4x4x4 BLD 26:11.75 (about 20 min of memo)!

 

[Zane_C]

4BLD in 4:41.22.
My orientation had 6 centers and one wing solved, I had both wing and corner parity. I'm glad it wasn't "lucky" at all.

Woah, crazy fast. You film a lot, any chance you caught this on camera? And a bad scramble too :tu

Thanks Tim.
Sorry, I didn't film this. My dog was sleeping on my bed and that's where I stand my camera. I'm not that interested in 4BLD anyway, I usually only try the weekly comp scrambles.
