3x3x3 BLD in 3:15.94 !!

first scramble in week 23 comp - L2 D2 U2 F2 L2 B R2 B L2 F D' L2 F D B R' B2 U' L2 F R

not really lucky at all, 1 corner solved, 1 corner permuted.

My previous PB was 4:08.xx so this is really really good for me.

You should have seen the reaction, I was jumping up and down like a child that got a PS3 for his birthday and wasn't expecting it.

I just did the second scramble in week 23 (it was rather lucky) and got 3:02.90 !

sub-3 is just round the corner now !!

3x3 multiblind: 4/4, 34:19.03(!)
previous was 38 min. ~28 min for memo. Could get faster with less loose cubes, I was slow to avoid pops. I think, I found my memo system for multiblind, it works so good

Edit: Zava, szóltam!

thanx next goal: sub 15min!

Funny, that's my goal too!
Except for 3x3...

And now, sitting in the morning sun on the verandah (rather chilly though):

9:09.18!!!

As Daniel Beyer said to me after my first ever sub-10 on 4x4x4 BLD:

Stackmat!

Congrats Mats on the fast solve! If you weren't already incredibly addicted to big cube BLD, I can assure you it will start now

new 4x4 BLD record: 19:19.77
third success, first sub 20min

Congrats on the sub-20 solve! Same comment about being addicted. The more barriers you break, the more it just sucks you in. Trust me!

I got a 2:01.75 on that one haha...it was actually kinda hard, but at the same time, it was like easy and stuff....btw, this time is good for me now because I spent so much time away from BLD and I'm still trying to switch methods....

corners were really easy for one of my corner methods, after the easy CO, CP was just 1 alg edges were also easy, 8 edges (with a break) and an action. memo was like 12-15, dunno. not that fast for this scramble (I got slower in memo, should I practise more?)

4x4x4 BLD: 7:30.05 (3:37 memorization)!

Second scramble in this week's competition. Only 10 pieces solved, so not lucky. Beat my personal best by 15 seconds!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Nice! You're getting too good now... It's getting scary

 

[cookingfat]

3/4 MultiBLD in 28:38

Not enough for NR though... Luckily I already have it

completed a blind solve whilst drunk at a party. Took ages to memo cos I kept losing concentration. Someone took a video of the solve part, I can put it up if anyone wants to see it, once I figure out how to rotate the video first...

I agree, alcohol makes it nearly impossible for me to memo. Also, execution can be fumbled and recall might get garbled. I usually need 3x as much time to memo, reciting my memo several times to be sure it has sunk in. Most on-lookers don't care about the memo phase.

Guess this is a reason to start drinking.

I got my first successful BLD solve today in about 12 minutes! So many solves with two flipped edges or two twisted corners. This puts me at a success rate of about 1/20....
