hehe, i still use old pochmann for corners...but i should learn a new method

I'm so amazed how fast people can be with Classic Pochmann. I could never beat 2 minutes with it - it would take me that long just from turning the cube.

i think 1:10 is my limit with with M2+old pochmann...

Same with me, though I have gotten a lucky 58 second solve.

Yesterday, after about 2 months of dodecahedric puzzles I took my cube to practice blindfolded and I had no idea what to do... :confused:

I'm sure it will come back to you fast.

Congratulations on the UWR!!!! You deserve it!

My first Blindsolve try in i think a month. 4:37.00. No scramble, i hand scrambled it for awhile. I think im never going to do that again. That was so slow! Im in love with blind again because i think i forgot what it feels like to see the cube solved after your done. Its amazing

Today is a giant step in my cubing career, probably the biggest. I finished my first succesfull 4x blindfolded!!

Time; 34:25 , but it's kind of unimportant for me right now! I'm just so happy!

Good Job! I am sure someone meant to congratulate you. It is a big step that I have not reached. I am getting more acquainted with r2, but still need to learn centers. Also, I am used to doing orientations separately from permutation, so my memo needs lots of changing.

Härligt Arvid! Inte många svenskar som har klarat det! Snart går det fortare

Translation for those who care: Awesome Arvid! Not a lot of Swedish poeple have done that! Soon you will be faster

Thanks Simon and Johnson! "Soon be faster" depends on if I ever dare trying again!

Oh, please do! You're much faster than I was on my first success! And yes, I'm one of those who meant to congratulate you. Congratulations!

16:23 minutes (9 minutes memo) for a 5x5. Third attempt after a long break. And somehow i cut more than 5 minutes off my solving time.

Thanks Mike, for gratulation and compliment

When I think about it, I never expected myself from being as fast and accurate as I am on 3x bld (compared with myself, not with you ) when I first succeded. I guess that gives me reason to give it some more tries!

333 BLD: 5'40"77

Just 3 minutes better than my former PB
Good, I use more flash memo, I didn't think I could remember the whole cube. I used old Pochmann. I'm learning M2 and I work on a new memo for edges, but I'm so bad on corners...

When I am sub-5 in average, I'll try multiBLD I think

 

[Scigatt]

Yes!!

My first bona fide BLD solve!
Time:Unknown
Method:Old Pochmann
Scramble:U' L' B F' L' R' F2 B2 R U' D2 F R2 U' R F2 L D' UL' R F2 U2 D' L'
Corners:Fairly easy(7-cycle + twisted corner)
Edges:A b$%^# (4 cycles(5-cycle, 3-cycle, 2 swaps))

 

[Slash]

3x3 Bld single: 1:26.61
I dont know how have I done it. Incredible solve, 10 seconds better than my previous PB what was very lucky(1 alg to the corners).
1 corner solved, 1 corner and 1 edge at place with wrong orientation. 35 sec memo, old pochmann corners, something 3-cycle edges.

 

[ManasijV]

Finally got my first sub-2 (1:46) yesterday night. NONE of the pieces were in the correct position but the letters made nice words I'm using old pochmann for both edges and corners and I included many 3-cycles in the edges.

Sin-H asked me about my multi bld attempts today so I decided to try it once again.

30/30 in about 2 hours and 40 minutes with my good old solving/scrambling method since I don't have enough cubes available.
Pretty worthless considering there are new rules...but fun anyway.

You are way too amazing. What solving and memory methods? If you had enough cubes, it could have been a few minutes faster! Your 30 cube attempt is about as fast as Tim's 24 cube WR. It seems like you can still pull off a WR with your speed with in a hour. And very nice accuracy!

 

[F.P.]

Thank you!

Same (bad) solving method as always:

Orient the corners and then permute them one by one (j perm)...old/classic pochmann for edges (t perm).

memo:

corners: numbers/images (major system)
edges: images for every letter pair

..and 30 routes.

:O Isn't that UWR?

 

[F.P.]

I don't know.
I only know that Tim had the WR with 24/24; I really never check all those websites with the scores/rankings etc.
