36.047 U' R2 B2 U' R D' B' U' F2 R U2 B' R2 F2 U L D2 B' L D' B U R2 D2 B'

Technically my PB. VERY lucky scramble from chaotimer. Should I count it?

I use this rule: if the scramble is randomly generated and I didn't know it was easy before I started the solve, I count it.


EDIT: lol movecount & TPS solve:
30.95[8.93] U' D R L F2 R' F2 L2 U2 L2 B' D L2 R B' F2 D2 R F2 B' L' D' R B2 D2

it was solved :) !
Congrats!
Yea :( , today I tried four times and the cube wouldn't solve on any of them! Once I think I muddled up the setup moves, then I forgot to swap the last two corners (got in a muddle as to which was slot number 4), then I forgot half of the corner sequence at the end, so the corners were in a mess, then, finally, on the last attempt, I couldn't even remember the edge sequence!

I guess it's what they call "begginer's luck" :( ...

MultiBLD 2/2 3:38.18[1:56]

Method: Freestyle

1. B' F' L2 B' R2 B' U2 R2 B' F' D' F L R D2 F2 L2 F' D' U2
2. L' D2 U2 L D2 L' R2 B2 R' D2 R F' D' B' R D2 R2 U' L' B'

A lot needs improving (still fairly new to 3-cycles on the 3x3x3.) But I've decided that my Multi-BLD at the UK Open I'll probably be attempting 10 cubes. I'd quite like to do a 2 cube attempt as well if there's time :)

That is a really easy scramble. However, under Mike Hughey's 20% rule, it's "non-lucky."

The 20% rule is kinda silly sometimes, because a scramble like M' has only four pieces solved...

(R U' R U' R' U)3 is useful in that scramble. :D
 
I actually have an average now as the result of my 3BLD practice today. Also PB single!

DNF(4:38.92)[2:46.69], DNF(6:25.05)[6:24.20],5:25.09[3:27.47], DNF(5:10.77)[3:10.58], 9:26.81[7:30.56], 4:36.45[2:57.88], 4:31.48[2:52.11],4:11.63[2:57.11], 3:49.28[2:19.64], DNF(6:49.03)[6:47.02]

Avg5: 4:26.52

I need to learn turbo again, I used OP for all the solves.

I am going to see if I can do more than 20 attempts per week from now on.

This morning-same thing. I couldn't get it! But then...

I went back to what I had been doing from days 1 and 2. I "solved" just the edges. Well, I couldn't even do that.

But then, when I came back to my cube a bit later, I managed to solve all the edges correctly without looking. The best part is, when I did go wrong the one time, I knew where I went wrong, so I know not to do it again! Then, I memorised the corners, and solved them successfully.

I generally think that's a good way to practice. If you don't feel like memorising a complete solve, just to screw it up at the end, then try this:

-Memorise all the edges
-Close eyes
-Solve all the edges
-Open eyes
-Memorise all the corners
-Close eyes
-Solve all the corners
-Hope that cube is really solved
-Open eyes
-Either shout for joy (if it was solved) or cry with dispair (if it wasn't solved) or, worse still, cry with even greater dispair (if the edges got messed up as well when you were doing the corners)

No, seriously, this is a good method of practice (for me anyway).
 
Two days ago my PB was 3:49.28[2:19.64], now it is 2:16.89[1:17.23]. I just decided to go for it for the weekly and it worked. This was the session.

2:25.52[1:31.11], 3:27.88[2:06.83], 2:16.89[1:17.23]

Is sub one execution fast for OP?

3x3

Multi: 2/2
