Spoiler

pretty bad conditions for the attempt, a couple distractions throughout and I was very tired

I had a duplicate scramble that I didn't bother fixing because I was low on time and memorization capacity so I intentionally DNFed (solved it BLD afterwards haha)

My memo was extremely slow for the first 12 or so cubes because of how concerned I was about the duplicate scramble and couldn't focus

Still satisfied with the attempt given those conditions, I also slightly changed my review strategy to allow myself to memo in time which I was happy with

What the hell.

I've seen people realise they have duplicate scrambles maybe half way through memorisation, I don't understand why you didn't tell the judge and get it rescrambled while you memorised other cubes. I guess that's the last thing you want to think about during the attempt.

Fair play for not attempting the scramble, though.

EDIT: My silly accomplishment, only a Mo3 today:

2:02.93, 2:24.38, 2:06.70 = 2:11.34 Mo3

Maybe time for some fingertricks.

I tried to get their attention and fix it like I've done before but they didn't notice me...

What was your review strategy and what did you change it to? I'm still trying to settle on one.

Is this a PB?

 

[Ollie]

Is this a PB?

For having two pints of 7% cider, yes

EDIT: Filmed a couple of 2:2x successes afterwards, both had sub-50 memo, what.

EDIT2: Not quite two pints. Maybe a pint and a half. 2 bottles.

Blimey. I wish I liked cider. I've had a couple of these tonight. Maybe I should try a quick MBLD.

At some point, we really need a UK trip to Poland.

That is an excellent idea.

Yeah... Mental Breakdown Poland please

What's with the 4BLD practice? Do you have a goal?

 

[CyanSandwich]

5BLD PB - 4:36.25[1:41.83]

I seem to average sub-2 memo now. Need to reduce pauses, turn a little faster and replace some algs.

 

[Goosly]

Somehow managed to improve my 5bld by more than a minute at Mental breakdown Germany, even lost some time by cancelling 6 corners because I realised I swapped the first and last pair.
Then failed the 4bld and 3bld final

Just boredom, no goal. Staying competitive for WC!

One of my mostly liked beers.

19/20 multibld PB, 58:18.82[40:41.90]. DNF was 2 flipped edges that I missed during the memo stage ((((((
Fastest memo per cube by a good bit, most points ever + fastest ever attempt at 20 cubes by ~1:30.
I think I'll probably just go for 22 cubes next, going for 20 kinda seems like a waste of time since it is kind of obvious to me now that I am capable of 20 sub-hour.

[Scruggsy13]

New 4BLD PB single, 6:03.574. Got a 6:56.536 right afterwards, which is good for me, but then failed the mo3 by two centers.
