Well obviously 3/3 is better than 3/4... 3/3 is 3 points and 3/4 is 2 points.

In MBLD points are calculated like this: POINTS = NUMBER_OF_SOLVED_CUBES - NUMBER_OF_UNSOLVED_CUBES
So for example if I do 18/21 I have 18 solved cubes and 3 unsolved. So my points would be 18-3=15 points...

Ahh... okay. I'm still leaving it in my signature for me to see how close I was to doing 4/4. I was a flipped edge and a parity fix away from the fourth being solved.
 
Sub-10 in 4bld. First scramble from weekly competiotion: 9:45.38. I've been doing 5bld for a week (1 or 2 solves per day). All attemptes I've failed, but 4bld seems much easier. Wow. Pb by almost 2 minutes.
 
I've been avoiding full solves while learning M2 (apart from one half-hearted failure) but today I met the nephew who got me into cubing and he made me solve in front of the family and against the odds, and with his stinky top tied around my face as a blindfold, I got a very nice comfortable solve. I'll try and find time for daily attempts now.

Interesting solve! I see you started by flipping the FR and DB edges and then solved corners, and then back to the edges. Is it always like this when you see there's more than 1 flipped edge?

I flipped the edges because they were done with visual memo, which I can only remember for a few seconds. I then solved corners because they were with audio, which I can remember for longer, but still not for very long. Edges were memoed first and executed last because I use images for them, so I can remember them for longer.

But what if there was only one flipped edge, meaning that you would have to flip it with your buffer, how would that work?

Talk about redemption. After 3 super close attempts yesterday I got my first 3BLD success. So happy because it had everything: cycle breaks in edges and corners, parity, two flipped edges, and a CCW corner twist. But yes time to go get another success.

That must feel great! Congrats.


My PB used to be 1:58, and then this happened:
1:46.31 - B2 L2 D2 F D2 B2 F' D2 L2 R2 F' U R2 B' U L B F2 U2

The worst part is that I had a like 5 second pause for the very last pair, because it was a commutator. (I use M2 not comms, but for the "bad stickers" in the M slice I just use comms because learning the algs for those cases was too much effort.) I had two sub-PB DNFs before this, a 1:44 where I memo'ed the wrong sticker on the right piece, and a 1:43 where I executed a comm with the wrong sticker on the right piece.


By the way, I would appreciate it if someone could reply to my question in the BLD OAQT :)

Sometimes I'd flip it and my buffer at the start of the solve, other times I'd leave it until the end. I usually do the first one with corners and the second with edges, since it's harder to remember corners at the end of the solve (two different orientations).
