That's Derrick's PB scramble on the UWR.

Byu,
Just 1 letter per sticker.

First-ever solves:
4x4 BLD: 35:09.00(~15th try)
4 cubes multibld: 38:28.00 only the second try!!!
I'm so happy
Wanna do it in comp

That makes 3 people in 3 days
I know how you feel, it happened to me two days ago, and Gparker too.

Wow - very nice! Like byu says, you're the third person in the past 3 days to get their first successful 4x4x4 BLD solve. This is a real banner moment for big cubes BLD! And the multi is nice too. Congratulations!!!

 

[Rubixcubematt]

GRRRRR, he beat me 2 it...... Ill hopefully get 1 today........

 

[byu]

Come on Rubixcubematt! You can do it! We need 4 in 3 days

 

[Mike Hughey]

GRRRRR, he beat me 2 it...... Ill hopefully get 1 today........

I hope so too - 4 in 3 days would be a lot more impressive! You should just sit down and start doing them nonstop now until you hit one.

happa95, you need to get one too. We're waiting

1st BLD attempt after my 1st ever BLD solve (which was yesterday)

i actually timed this one

10:44 (memo 6:45) (solve 3:59)
the method isnt too fast

ill get alot faster once im used to BLD solving and i learn a faster method

 

[byu]

What method is it?

 

[That70sShowDude]

not sure if it even has a name (only a j-perm on steps 2 and 3), steps:
1. rotate U/D corners so they are all facing up/down
2. permute corners
3. permute edges

the one from this guy

i havent even seen the pochmann or m2 method, but i think they are faster than this

 

[byu]

Learn old pochmann. I have a tutorial, click on the YouTube icon under my name to the left. My tutorial is there

dont forget McWizzle

Learn old pochmann. I have a tutorial, click on the YouTube icon under my name to the left. My tutorial is there

and that is old pochmann, what he was saying. just a simpler version. and i honestly think it is the best tutorial on youtube.

NO!!!!!! almost sub 3!!!!!!

I had a 2:29.94 in the weekly competition.(14)

And when I was racing Stanley Wong on thursday I got a 3:05.xx

It was handscrambled by Stan, but non-lucky I think. I would actually go so far as to say that it was unlucky. There were 2 edges solved, and edge memo/exec was super fast. And then corners blew. My buffer started out solved, and my 2 favorite places to kick my solved buffer were permuted but flipped. The other 5 were a closed 3 cycle and a closed 2 cycle, which left me with a flipped buffer and parity. Since I suck at orienting edges in different layers I used Pochmann to flip one and then oriented the other 2 like I normally would. I think it spent 30/30 seconds memo/solving edges, when that is usually like 80/50 and then corners were like 40/80 when they are usually 30/40. Quite an unusual solve. Oh I also spent like 10 seconds trying to figure out whether or not I had undone my last setup move(U2). I think I solved and then unsolved then resolved it doing this. Stan was cracking up when I finally stopped the timer.

Edit: This makes me realize that I should practice more than 3-5 solve a week.

: I did it!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!! Now I know how Dennis felt after his 6x6BLD I memoed all edges, +centers and left obliques with images, Xcenters with letters and right obliques and corners visually, in that order. Solved corners, Xcenters and right obliques, then all edges, then rest of the centers and finally 2 parities. YAY!

Nice job! You should try a 7x7 multi

I feel like a noob. 2x2 blindfolded for the first time Gonna start 3x3 very soon.

What method did you do for 2x2? Speed BLD?
