Tyler beat me. I got a 49

I have started working on BLD now using byu's video tutorials! I am just learning how to execute edges right now. I scramble the cube and solve the corners, then right down in what order to do what edges, and then solve under the table while looking at my notes. My success rate is less than 50%. But I only started yesterday, so I am satisfied so far. Once I get comfortable with the execution, I will learn a memory method. Then corner eexecution, then corner memory method.

And a noob question: On Old Pochman, do you do corners of edges first?

 

[byu]

I used to do edges first when I used old pochmann, but it works both ways

@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?

So finally you learn BLD nice. What is the method

Thanks. I guess I'll just wait until I mess around with corners and memo before I decide.

I tested the "too good scramble", and it certainly was easy. I made 3:51, whick is a 90 sec better than my previus record.

i got sub-45... i think it can barely be called a "scramble"

Really? I use Computer Generated scramble

oh, i was talking about the scramble from gparker.
And I'm talking about 3x3 BLD, not 2x2 BLD.

yea mine was the first one of the day off of CCT. ive never seen an easeir real scramble

That was a CCT scramble? That's hard to believe

whats so special about a CCT scramble? it was just a random scramble for 3x3 maybe i should have taken a screen shot

No I believe you. I just think it's strange that a computer generated "random" scramble has so much solved already. I guess since it's completely "random" there's a chance it will be like that.

And someday, someone will get a CCT scramble that gives you a solved cube.

5: 01:05.98 x
4: 01:26.83 x --- DNF
3: 01:12.74 x
2: 01:07.29 x
1: 01:11.05 x

average of 5 was 1:10.36. not bad without any practice
at my next comp, I want the NR (currently 1:16.38) as my first success. I'll practise for that though

I doubt that.

It's very unlikely, but it could happen..

hoho, today is a good day for BLD!
4x4 bld in 5:34.72 (2:40-2:50 memo), out of nowhere haven't practised since...well, I haven't really practised it ever. maybe 10th successful solve.

Oh wow - that's mind-boggling. Congratulations! Just like that, you're one of the elite.

Holy Moses (or whatever applies) That is a fantastic time! Nice!

Then I almost dare not mention my efforts, but then again why not

I tried some 20 3x3 speedbld practise this morning (next comp is Saturday) with only
a little over 50% accuracy. Not too good, average only a little sub-3. But the two best
were 2:02.08 (PB with 2 secs) and then 2:00.06 (again 2 secs). Now next PB
has got to be sub-2.

Your next PB will probably be 2:00.00 Good Luck on sub 2 And good luck in västerås! I'm not coming

That's too bad. Football?
