After 5 close DNFs 2:40 to 4:10...
2:11.16 PB!
Corner visual memo 7 pieces to solve
Edges: VH TINORA ALI
Edges memorized in 27 seconds, all memorized in 49 seconds.
I used Classic Pochmann with one set up to A perm for corners and M2 for edge.
A in my memo is actually Shooting to FU flipped, so it is my slowest alg. Overall, this solve is actually probably harder than usual because there are quite a lot pieces to solve and there is parity. The best thing is just that the sounds for edge memo are easy to pronounce, I was in the zone for visual corners, and I didn't mess up.

Oh wow! I just noticed that Haiyan Zhuang beat Ville's WR time for 3x3x3 BLD in a competition yesterday - TWICE!:
44.61 DNF DNF DNF 46.47

Too bad for him that they didn't count because he did them during the speedsolving event. He DNFed all the ones that would have counted.

Ville, with a little good luck, he would have gotten the record! Better practice!

Wow! That's really unbelievable.
He will get the WR.

@toast ,
That is amazingly fast for a first solve.(Though part of your speed can be attributed to your normal 3x3 speed). It took me 6 BLD solves to get even sub-6.What is the method you are using?

Classic Pochmann with visual memory.

Not after he broke his main cube...

Lol I think some of you are forgetting that he has done 63 BLD solves in comp. Out of those he has had 2 that were sub-WR.

I don't understand your point. The only two he did at this most recent competition were sub-WR. So it appears he's not capable of getting a successful BLD solve anymore without it being sub-WR.

Of course, I suspect the same is true for you as well. So it's only a matter of which of you gets a successful solve next as to who will hold the WR next.

But I suspect you're still capable of putting it out of his reach at any moment with a good solve. Just like I figure you're permanently going to do to me with 5x5x5 BLD any day now.

3x3 BLD: 2:05:67 (1:03)...finally sub NR.

Nice job! What memo system?

Nice job! What memo system?

Assuming this was intended for me...
Letters for edges, I should say visualish for corners. Sometimes I convert corner permutation to a sequence of numbers (1-8) which I seem to be able to remember better.
Visual for EO and CO. I use 3OP btw.

Yes, it was intended for you.

But how do you remember a sequence of numbers (probably about 7)? I can understand the letter part, but do you really just memorize 2-4-7-1-5-3-6?

Umm..yes, and somehow I'm rather comfortable with that.

I think you should use the same memo system for every solves. Then you can get use to it much more and get your memo time faster

and if you're using letters, keep spelling the cycles in your mouth would be a really easy way to memo(during the whole solve until the cycle is done); After all you don't have to "memorize" them into your brain.

I am not sure if this skill would work for you..Atleast it works for me(in Chinese )

4x4 blind solve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think it was lucky, there was like 13 centers solved and like 6 wedges and 2 corners

OMG this is the greatest feeling ever! i really want to thank Mike for teaching me commutators!!!!

i didnt time nor have the scramble but yes! this is so awsome!!


and this was my very first, on my very first try, i really wanted to get it. i think it was about 15 minutes memo and 10 minutes solving

 

[Jhong253]

FINALLY!!! I got an unlucky 3x3 BLD solve. After months of work on 3OP... about time.

It was going to be so slow anyway so I didn't bother timing myself (took over 30 minutes).

My friend randomly scrambled for me so I have no idea what the scramble is. All I know is that it wasn't a super easy scramble last time because I didn't have like 70% of the stuff oriented correctly like before.

yes! 4bld in 18 minutes. First success.Non lucky

Awesome!!! It is so cool that we actually have two different people getting their first 4x4x4 BLD solves on the same day! Another step toward my goal of 4x4x4 BLD becoming a mainstream event someday. And both were quite fast - you should both be very proud of yourselves. My first one was about an hour, so you're both better than me.

Congratulations - now I can't wait to see you both get successful solves in competition!

happa95 - I expect to see your announcement next.

Mike and anyone else who read my post a few days ago

Time to get a 5x5

bleh I'm just waiting for sub-1:30 average of 12... no DNFs
