Wow, first BLD attempt for a few days and beat my PB by more than 30 seconds First ever sub minute memo, completely visual, and used Old Pochmann for execution.
Time 2:13.39
Scramble B' R' B2 D' F2 L F2 D B2 D2 F2 R' U' L B' L U F U2 F D2 B D2 F' L'
Not even 1 edge or corner permuted correctly, so completely non lucky.

P.S. Next 2 attempts were both sub 2:30, but both very close DNFS (one would've been correct but at the end I flipped the wrong 2 edges so it ended with 4 flipped edges :\)

 

[Escher]

you are getting seriously good jude...

2nd successful BLD

14:31.23, first one which was yesterday was 21:23.67... quite an improvement

2 inactive edges, no parity, single cycle for corners, so a bit lucky I suppose. My memo was -
Edges - KOBT ICWF MC
Corner orientation - XAAC AA
Corner permutation - 1483 756

I'm surprised how quickly I'm getting used to my letter-edge association.

Almost sub-2....

I got a 4x4 BLD in comp. 13:12 was the time.

And also the day after:

We (joey, daniel and ville), did a team-ish 4x4 BLD.
Ville memoed centres, daniel edges, joey corners (yay, i get the easier part; suckers!)
Then we solved it Around 6 mins memo, and 11:15.80 total (3 people, 3 smilies) joey's first 4x4 bld

I got a 4x4 BLD in comp. 13:12 was the time.

Congratulations on your really nice 4x4x4 BLD, and also on your victory in 3x3x3 BLD! I think it's funny that you can claim you beat Ville at 3x3x3 BLD in the competition where he set the world record.

Also, congratulations to Mats Bergsten for his 4x4x4 BLD. Now he's the oldest solver of both 3x3x3 BLD and 4x4x4 BLD.

And I should have also mentioned congratulations to Joey for his "reasonable" 3x3x3 BLD solve. Joey, I'm sure you'll be sub-1 soon!

 

[joey]

Yay, I got 1:17.xx BLD in comp
Something 'reasonable'!

I looked at the scramble. You meant nothing was in place -- all of them had to be permuted. Great Job!

ah so closeee

37.17 on this scramble: D B' D U2 F B U' L2 B2 D F2 R2 F' R2 D B' U' F' R2 L2 F2 R F D' U

That scramble was about an average scramble, and I dont usually get sub40 with these, so this was pretty great. Memo on this one was fast(-er than usual ). Solution:

Orient the flipped corner with buffer piece: x' L U L' U L U2 L' R' U' R U' R' U2 R x
(from UFL) BLU-RFD: L' U R2 U' L U R2 U'
DLB-DFL: y' U' R2 U' L2 U R2 U' L2 U2 y
RUF-RBU: U L U' R' U L' U' R

(from UF) RF-BU: M U' R U M' U' R' U
LD-DB: x M2 U' L' U M2 U' L U x'
DF-LU: r y' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' y r'
RD-RU: b R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 b'
FL-(break in new cycle(i dont normally do this))BL: d x R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2 x' d'
BR-LB: z' U' L' U M U' L U M'

Just felt like posting the solution. 92 moves STM, 98 HTM I think. Have fun.

Also, congratulations to Mats Bergsten for his 4x4x4 BLD. Now he's the oldest solver of both 3x3x3 BLD and 4x4x4 BLD.

Mats Bergsten was also soo close to getting the 5x5x5 BLD, only three centers misplaced!

He is also god at remembering Pi! http://www.x.se/6ym2

Oh, wow - I had never made the connection! I've seen his record a bunch of times over there, when I was pursuing the 5-ball pi reciting record. I had no problem with the 5-ball one, but Mats's 3-ball one is completely out of my league!

That was really close on the 5x5x5! Maybe next time.

First blindsolve of the day and.. wow. My 2nd sub30. Nonlucky. I might post the solution later.

 

[cookingfat]

Ville, wow that's insane. You are amazing. My cube idol.

I would be happy with that time for a speedsolve.

btw are you a happy dude? They say that Finland is the 6th happiest country in the world.

Edit: I tried it, and got 2:07.17. It should have been much faster, but I think it's a bad day for BLD for me. Memo was 51 seconds. It was a pretty easy scramble even for non-freestyle - the corners are in a really nice order for 3OP, and the edges really set up well for optimizations in M2.

 

[joey]

Yay, thanks Mike

Here is my solution:
R x D2 R U R' D2 R U R2 x'
F2 D2 R U2 R' D2 R U2 R' F2 (stupid, should have done: z A-perm z')
z L D' L' U2 L D L' U2 z'
total: 27 (could have been 26)

l R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 l'
z' y' R U R U R' U' R' U' R' U
M F R' F' M' F R F' x2 y'
R' U' R' U' R' U R U R U
total: 41

So, 68 moves.

I think ville would have used 26 for corners. Maybe 46 for edges? But, he may have done it differently.
