1:25.40 DNF with Ville's scramble. I used freestyle corners so this was really fast for me, but I was off by 2 misoriented corners xD

5 minute DNF on Ville's which would have been a PB by 45 seconds. only 2 edges flipped. nice one on getting the sub 27 though, that's pretty amazing.

My first timed BLD solve (excluding a couple DNFs): 6:59.39

Thanks to badmephisto for the Old Pochmann tutorial, and to Eric Limeback for his edge memo tutorial!

This is pretty good of me

For you who like me is not that fast. I wonder if you fast guys
can relate? Anyway, two pb:s this week:
4x4 17:18 (8:05)
5x5 51:23 (27:30)

(with turbo corners, beginning to get some accuracy with that. I still wonder if
I ever will be faster with turbo than with old P corners)

Great Mats, looking forward to meet you again at Norrköping Open

I got a new PB 3x3 of 1:14.86 min this is 14 sec better than my 2nd best, memo was 29 sec.

I'm finally starting to get back my 3x3x3 BLD accuracy. I actually got 14 in a row before I missed one. Then I missed two in a row - I tried Ville's scramble and got a 2:04 DNF.

Ville, that didn't seem like a particularly easy scramble to me - you're amazing!

It all depends on what method you use. I found it really easy for freestyle but for 3OP it would have been much different.

Yeah, afterwards I looked at it from a freestyle perspective, and it looked pretty easy. Corners for 3OP weren't very easy at all.

dang, when the last post in the BLD accomplishment thread is from Mike Hughley.. i get excited, haha

 

[Ville Seppänen]

Solution for the 26.95 is indeed easy for freestyle.

63 moves with the way I executed, 61 with a cancellation.

I did the 4x4 sleep delayed. Memoed while watching TV last evening and the first thing I did when I woke up this morning was solving it. Successfully, but almost screwed up on the corners (did an A-Perm wrong but undid the wrong moves and corrected them, phew).
This is not that much of a task if you use the loci-method but still it feels cool.

Wow - better than some Fridrich solves!

Thanks. I got 14 in a row, just like Ville! (Only difference was that his was almost exactly 3 times as fast as mine. Actually, it's quite amazing how close to exactly 3 times as fast it was.)

It could be a while before my next competition. I'm really hoping to go to the Ohio Open in March, but I'm not sure yet.
