Anyway, I went the same route you did - in order to have people to compete against, I taught them. So keep teaching people and you'll have plenty! :)

Thanks, Mike. :) What you said made me more optimistic. I agree, that's also the reason why I have 11 BLD tutorial videos in my Youtube channel (Old Pochmann, M2, and Big Cubes BLD), all in Indonesian. Recently it's happen to be a BLD trend in my country where one by one cuber got their first succesful BLD solve, and there's a viewer boost on my videos. I hope there are any correlation between them. :D

Well then, let's just teach more!

LOL :D

Maarten, now I remember... You said on my "Fun Cubing at Borobudur Temple" thread that you will go to Indonesia sometime next year. Is it true? When you will go exactly and on what occassion? Indonesian cuber will be glad to have your visit. :)

Oh no, that was just a joke. Because it looked like such a fun competition I said that I would have to find a way to go there next year. I'm afraid that it's not really going to happen. Sorry :(

Number of solves: 18/25. Sorry, I didn't keep track of memorization time, but I stay pretty close to my average of 50 seconds most of the time on memorization - execution varies much more than memorization for me.

That's why you should use my timer ;) I've come to realize that the flashing screen is really effective - I can literally see the screen flashing even with my eyes closed :D

There's a good chance that Indonesia will have another official competition on December/January. I've requested the Indonesian WCA Delegate to have 4x4x4 BLD as an event. The problem is, right now in Indonesia there's only 2 persons excluding me that can do 4x4x4 BLD, and they had only 1 successful solve so far :(

Maybe if any of you 4x4x4 BLD solver could come to Indonesia and participate, that would be awesome :D :D :D But I guess it's impossible haha *sigh*

Have it during the summer! I'll be back in Malaysia for summer break by then :) I hate how there were no competitions when I was averaging 8-9 minutes for 4x4x4 BLD (which would've placed me at about top 5 in the world back then), and then all the competitions just come out of nowhere after I quit :p And now I've forgotten how to do 4x4x4 BLD. It's embarrassing to even talk about it :o

By the way, I'm half-back into BLD ;) Might be a while before I get back to my original speed though :o

Number of solves: 8/12

1:14.72(30.35), 1:29.15(42.12), 1:18.26(41.24), DNF(38.07), 1:14.31(33.23), 1:05.58(32.52), 1:34.34(44.53), 1:26.40(46.39), DNF(50.67), DNF(51.16), 1:29.15(38.50), DNF(50.81)

Session mean: 1:21.49
Standard deviation: 9.13 (11.2%)

Best average of 5: 1:20.57 = 1:29.15, 1:18.26, (DNF), 1:14.31, (1:05.58) <--- It's not a DNF! :eek: :D :p

DNF: 33.3%
Memorization:Execution = 47:53

Funny how 3 of the 4 DNFs have sup-50 memorization times. Maybe I should just cut my memorization time short in the future :rolleyes:

Trying to get faster at multi.

1/2 7:06.06 exec mistake on corners of second cube.

L' F2 B2 D R B F2 L' U F L' U' R U2 D2 R2 D2 R L' B' U2 D2 B D' F'
R2 L' D' U' F2 U2 D2 R2 L D L' B2 U2 R B' R' F D2 R2 F R2 D' L R D'

0/2 7:24.56 just a general fail

D2 B' R U2 F2 U' B R2 B' L' U2 L2 R D2 F' D F L D2 R2 U' D' R' L' F'

2/2 7:03.56 :D

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

All memo times were *roughly* four minutes. In order to force myself to memo quicker I decided I was going to put on the BLD at 4 minutes whether I was really ready or not. I probably could've gotten both on the second multi, but I was going for speed not accuracy.

I'll keep trying this and see where it takes me.
 
Starting with freestyle.

First attempt, first success: 16:05.75 (10:xx)

Resolution will be always slow, as my cube is not for speed. The tougher task is to remember quickly the new letters positions (both for memo and resolution).

Second attempt: 10:28.14(4:42.58)

Just Did 10 2x2 BLD In a row, all successful.
1:23.xx, 1:11.27, 1:48.58, 1:25.40, (2:49.69), 2:07.44, 1:53.52, 1:24.25, 1:35.50, (50.44)

The Last one needed only three to be permuted and two had to be oriented.
Scramble For the Last One: F U' F2 U R F2 R U F' U' R' F' R F U R2 U R U' R' F R2 U F' R'

We'll think about it :)
BTW, Chester, there's a response for my Old Pochmann video tutorial from a Malaysian. He/she said this, "BLD ADALAH TIDAK SEHEBAT MANAPUN.... kerana untuk membuat BLD kita harus menghafal dan menghafal ada tidak sehebat menyelesaikan rubik cube tanpa menghafal". (in English: "BLD IS NOT THAT GREAT. Because to do BLD we must memorize something, and that's not as great as solve the Rubik's Cube without memorizing something.")

How should I respond to a comment like this? :fp
 
My most consistent and successful 12 BLD solves EVER. Chose to go for accuracy instead of speed to see how it would affect my success rate.

2:11.23(1:06.26), 2:12.56(58.91), 2:22.79(1:19.08), 2:50.19(1:26.22), 2:40.14(1:37.65), 2:17.26(1:05.08), 2:05.82(1:00.40), DNF(1:19.49), 2:37.88(1:03.50), 2:19.18(1:07.82), DNF(2:14.52), 5:21.38(1:19.08)

DNF: 16.7%
Memorization:Execution = 45:55
Session mean: 2:41.84 (±0.00)
Best time: 2:05.82
Worst time: DNF

It would've been 90% if I just took the first 10 solves :p On the last one it took me some time to recall the last 3 letters for edges..

EDIT: Continued the solves to make it 20. Here're the next 8 solves:

2:43.15(1:28.94), 3:39.77(1:31.13), 2:16.04(58.96), 2:04.11(1:01.29), 2:44.00(1:22.23), 2:38.14(1:15.48), 3:10.10(1:26.39), 2:37.07(1:19.07)

DNF: 10.0% :D

20/20 in 1:22h (58 minutes memo). Actually it belongs into the Failures thread, since it's over 4 minutes/cube, but i know, that you guys won't agree ;).

You're right - I don't agree! Very awesome! Just think, if we had followed the "hour cards" approach more closely, this would have been considered successful. (An hour to memorize, an hour to execute.) I think it's a very cool result.

We memorize algs to solve a rubiks cube, don't we. That is still memorizing something. BTW, I think that person is just jealous your too good :p.
