At what point should you start to learn 4BLD? (i.e. After you reach what kind of 3BLD time?) And how different/how much harder is it to 3BLD? (I use M2/OP) Thanks!

I started 4BLD when I averaged 2:30 on 3BLD, so you don't need to be very fast.

The only hard part about BLD is understanding the concepts, so once you've learned them for 3BLD, you only need to learn how to apply stuff to 4BLD.
 
<3 30:37 was the the time btw. Wa sso thrilled to get a success on my first official try ever. Does anyone know how many others have done this?
^This :-). Got my first official success on my first official attempt this weekend :-)
Time was 48:10... Pretty bad time, but I have to work on my memo (lots of reviewing + sometimes more than a minute or two to think of a good image for problematic letter pairs like QV...)

still no ao5 but some GJ 3BLD times
Average of 5: DNF
1. 2:24.11
2. DNF(1:56.78)[2 edges 2 corners flipped]
3. (2:14.30)
4. 2:17.74
5. (DNF(2:33.67)[forgot letters])
 
5/10 Multi! Still not more than 3 points, but at least it was a success. Time was good too (45:52).

One cube was off by a corner 3-cycle, and another by two flipped edges. The other three were a mess (3-4 corners/edges each), but each has at least one 3-cycle which makes me think it can't have been an execution error from an accidental turn.

E: I know what happened on the two flipped edge one: there was one edge flipped, but I flipped the wrong two edges (flipped FL+DL instead of FL+DF). Could've been 6/10, two points...

Keep getting 3BLD DNFs because of misturns or flipped edges...really annoying :/

Also, does anyone know where I can download Prisma puzzle timer for Mac? I can't seem to find it anywhere
