3x3x3BLD: 28,23 Scramble: B' R B2 U2 R B F2 D' U2 L R2 F2 L2 B' L' D2 L B R' F U2 B' D2 B D2
It was my first solve in over a week. The scramble is ridiculously easy for edges, the time is slow for this scramble.

4 edges good
if i look at the edges TuRBo way. i see three 3-cycle. that let's me think. maybe i can just memo the 3 different 3 cycles. that way i don't really have to remember all the pieces. just remember the setupmove and where the cycle is.

do you also use something like this ville? it seems alot easier to me.

Not much, but it can be really helpful to memo that way.

how come I can always sub1 on your sub30 scrambles without practising bld? 52.52, on video. so easy edges, it was also good for my corners.

I'm so pathetically slow. 1:59.17.

Not as good as you Ville, but I got 1:14.47. I really wanna average this.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

For Ville's scramble.

[20:19:34] <Swordsman_Kirby> 44.56
[20:19:43] <Swordsman_Kirby> Should've been faster.

 

[Mike Hughey]

I know this is ridiculous, but my personal best non-lucky 3x3x3 BLD has been stuck at 1:46 since I got it in a practice solve at the first Cincinnati Open over 8 months ago. (I've had several lucky ones since then, but none non-lucky.) Well, I finally beat it!

1:37.59! Almost 10 seconds faster than my previous best!

Scramble:U R2 F L U F' L U' B' D' F' R B2 U2 R2 B2 D R F B L2 F2 D U F

This scramble is really easy for M2 edges / 3OP corners.

Thanks, guys! Who knows, maybe I'll really get a sub-1 someday? Long way to go, though.

I think your execution needs some work! I feel that is slowing you down.

This scramble is really easy for M2 edges / 3OP corners.

Eh, I thought it was a pretty normal solve for M2/3OP.

You're right - I checked my memo time on this one out of the corner of my eye and I think it was 32.xx. So even at Ville memo times, I'd still have been around 1:15 on this one.

i had my first blindsolve yesterday in 6:11.xx

i guess thats a good first time but it was easy and i use classic pochmann and like to corners were done and so was 1 edge and 1 was flipped so yea

32.xx memo should be like 52.xx total.

Okay, talking real people, I think with 32.xx memo you should be aiming for 1:10 - 1:20 total.

First successful blind solve!
and first post.

It took 12 minutes, but alas I had a few mistakes, couldn't remember where an edge or two went, accidentally forgot a setup move and had to undo the algorithm and redo it with the setup move!

I've pretty much spent the last few(3?) days learning how to do it, looks like it finally paid off!

I recorded it and I'm just waiting for it to upload.

Wow - very nice! That was a really hard scramble for me - 2:34.53. (Pretty good time for me considering how hard the scramble was.)
