Did a 2x2 First time ever

 

[aronpm]

First success on sim, and I don't really know the controls very well so I was still reading them from the bottom.

Rotationless memo, of course

But just like with Zane, it says I'm trying to hack the high-scores list :confused:

3x3 bld:

36.15, 37.34, 37.48, 37.90, DNF(57.54) = 37.57 avg 5

Yeah ! Christmas Magic

finally! got my first bld solve with M2/OP corners, total time with memo my PB just under the 3 min mark, with parity.
am sitting at 1-4 for attempts.
i get lost on which M slice edges end up needing to be flipped back at the end can anyone help me with this. thanks

First attempt at all edges unsolved was a success. Woot. Loving this. Love that feeling when you take the blindfold off and find a solved cube.

You must be too pro

Got my first success! And it was on video and I will upload it soon. Time was 10:31.99 with a memo of about 7:30.

Corners memo was BVWBCMRH. Edge memo was WuB Lucky Peoples OrGies with FErrets, AH!

I memod corners last and solved them first with that going very smooth and I had a major pause going from corners to edges and had a minor pause trying to remember the last pair for edges, I must have spent 30 seconds trying to remember it.

This was my second real try ever. My first try had a 10:15 DNF that had 3 edges cycled. 2nd and 3rd try I quit at the 2 minute mark because I didn't like the scrambles. Then finally the forth was my success!

good job, what method did you use, to solve?

I used pure Old Pochmann with somewhat of an audio corner memo and a word letter pair method for edges.

I dont use Speffz though.

~5 min success Old Pochmann and visual memo. Fun with visual but more frustrating when you try to draw a cube only to realize the next piece is a blank.

MBLD 3/3 24:40.52 [17:10] First and last try on MBLD more than 2 .

Spoiler

Almost 30 seconds faster than my normal 3x3 sim PB (~1:34, I only tried that like 4 times though)

The hacking message is really weird - have you contacted Ryan Heise about it?

And wow, sub-1

 

[Zane_C]

Really fast Aron. :tu

The hacking message is really weird - have you contacted Ryan Heise about it?

I contacted him a few days ago when I first noticed the error message:

I won't be able to look at it immediately, but I'll try to investigate why it was detected as an invalid record.

WTF?! 3x3 BLD

1:41.25 D F' U2 D F2 D' B L B2 D L2 D U R' F L2 U2 B F2 L' U F' B' U2 L2


Memo [45.XX]

 

[JasonK]

Hadn't done a BLD solve in like 3 months, randomly decided to do 5 and it seems my accuracy and consistency have both improved

2:43.85, DNF(2:32.29), 2:50.18, DNF(3:33.03), 2:46.82

Would've been lucky to get 1 success before.

 

[Moops]

3x3 BLD success!!! 12:36.34

Finally... after 20+ attempts

And bothering to learn a good memo method.


-Thanking Zane_C for his recent tutorial. It helped clear up a lot of the things I had trouble understanding-

 

[Divineskulls]

Two 3BLD successes in a row! First was around 7:30, second was 9:33.xy. I still suck, but at least I'm getting some more successes under my belt.

3:39.26 with a 1:41.02 memo! First sub-4 time! I followed it with a DNF and then another sub-4, 3:44.42[1:55.87]!
Quick question, on my next solve, I had a DNF(5:26.31)[1:53.96]. I would have had another sub-4, except I rage-quit when I couldn't remember my first Letter-Pair image (a foot, btw). I always have trouble remembering my first image, any suggestions? I can always remember everything else fine. I use Roman Rooms and a partially complete (~70%) letter pair list.
