1:24.71 3x3x3 BLD

This came out of nowhere. I was just very relaxed and it just went very well. It was not lucky. My BLD skills are improving =]

:eek: that is amazing stuff Mcwizzle. i can hardly get sub 3 let alone sub 2. keep up the great work and ull be sub 1 in no time

Thanks man! I'm starting to use freestyle corners and they are working well. I just need an effective memo method. I used 3OP for corners on the 1:24.71 solve though. And don't worry, you will be sub-2 with a little more practice.
 
after HO2008's total blindfold failure, I decided to switch bld method - both at corners and edges. corners is sort of 3OP, edges is freestyle (it was freestyle/Pochmann-like for corners, but with pauses: thinking of setups, and M2 for edges, which should be fast, but my edges part, don't know why, was slow.) memo for this method is a bit slow for me, because of CO, and at edges execution sometimes I hesitate.
and the accomplishment part:
today I started practising it (I've done some bld solves, but with watching the cube) and I managed to do an avg of 5!
times: 1:26.61, (1:32.75), 1:32.53, (1:20.91), 1:24.31 --> 1:27.81
quite OK I think. there's also a lot of room for improvement :)

I also switched methods.
I switched from M2 edges to 3OP edges. I don't think it's a bad method. My memo is still not as fast as it was with syllable M2 (about 1min), but after maybe only 5 tries at clock journey memo, I got a 1:20 trial. Rather than executing, I just wrote down my memo for execution. I'll practice the memo until it's faster, then practice edge only execution, then full BLD.
 
Just tried edges only BLD 4 times.
1. 58s memo, 3:44
2. 1:09 memo, 3:xx DNF
3. 1:45 memo, 4:12
4. 1:00 memo, 2:58 :D
The last time, rather than visualizing clock in head, I used finger to draw it in the air, that helps a lot.

Edit: by the way, I hope people realize that I'm BLDing 3x3 cube, not clock. This is my memo.
 
Successful BLD on the bus! 7:08
This may be a slow time, but there was a lot of distractions! people were very loud and my scramble was the hardest I've gotten in a while. Edges, I had to break into new cycle 3 times and corners had to CO after finishing classic pochmann, which I also had to break into new cycle.

I tried edges only again, and it was 1:10 memo, 3:05 total. I have too many pauses in execution and memo still sucks. Need more practice...
 
OK, this afternoon i practised BLD, my goal was 10/30, and i got .........

holy crap!
I got 58.21 on that! :eek:

now I don't know if I should count it...was an easy one, not that easy, but I kinda knew it was a nice scramble before, so...

oh, and with freestyle and my OH cube, so I didn't turn that fast

FIRST SUCCESSFUL BLD SOLVE!!! after one failed attempt (screwed up corner memo)
about like 13 min memo (i have terrible memory) and around 5 minute execution (also slow)

Heres the scramble: B L F D B R F2 U L' F2 R' L B2 R2 U2 L2 F L' R' F L F2 U F B'

Total time- 18:17.54
 
So today I posted a bunch of UWR's: 5x5x5, 4x4x4, 3x3x3 memo, computer 3x3x3. I have had these for a while now. Also...

48.19, 56.88, 50.58, 43.81, 57.99(.xx), 55.19, 52.08, 48.19, (27.39), (DNF), 40.00, 46.59 = 49.95 average

Yeah, that's a sub-30! And I got the scramble: R B F R' D2 R D' U2 L B2 L R2 D U2 L2 R F2 L2 R2 F2 R U2 B U B
It's only 3 pieces solved. Memo was sub 10 for sure even though I didn't look at the timer. Execution was totally smooth all the way. The average is almost as amazing as that single. Just wow!
 
That is truly amazing, Ville! Sub-30 has finally been done! Congratulations! And awesome average!

That's nice, but doesn't Rafal have you on 5x5x5 (if only he would post his)? :)
