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.

Yeah, too bad, that's not how the rules are .

12/12 in 37:27 minutes (24 minutes memo). I almost tied my old record, which was 36 (20), YEAH!

Getting better with freestyle.

7:55.78 (3:09.03), I forgot the first edge 3-cycle, if I hadn't I would have done it sub-7, so it is a bit failure. It is not easy to get used to using a new system.

But it's over 3 minutes per cube! Wrong thread

Great laugh Maarten, that was really fun!!!!

========================

And of course both the 12/12 and the 20/20 are excellent,
you do not really have to be persuaded to think that, Tim.

2x2 success! Lucky though, because it only had a few corners to be permuted. (I watched Lance the blue Knight's tut on youtube.)

Nonlucky 2:09.54!

I've been averaging around 2:30-2:40 for the past several months whenever I do some solves. I have a feeling that if I put in some serious practice, I'm going to be able to do sub-2. Woo!

 

[martijn_cube]

new PB last night: 2:07.06. still no sub 2

 

[Chuck]

New PB on 4x4x4 BLD

[Lucas]

After two days without bld cubing, I got better with freestyle, getting a lot better with memo and with resolution, too.

4:55.55 (1:47.37)

Pretty much. But I'm going to post personal best times only, either successful or fail

 

[Mike Hughey]

Nice job, Chuck!

[pingvincina]

I got my third sub-4 today on 3x3x3 BLD...it was 3:28.xx...yeyyy...that's a PB for now...M2/old pochmann...sub-3 next time i hope

 

[Mike Hughey]

Oh, wow!

In order to at least pretend to participate at the World Championships, I decided to do a 4x4x4 BLD and a 5x5x5 BLD at lunch today, so it would be the same time as they're doing them over there. The 4x4x4 BLD was the third scramble in the weekly competition; the 5x5x5 BLD was the first scramble in the weekly competition.

4x4x4 BLD: 6:52.40 (3:07)!!!!

That's about 30 seconds faster than my previous PB! It had 10 pieces solved, so not quite lucky, officially.

5x5x5 BLD: DNF (13:15.20!!!, 6:37)

Well, unfortunately, it was a DNF, but it was more than a minute faster than any previous attempt I've ever had. It was only off by 2 centrals flipped (memorized a sticker wrong) and 3 + centers (apparently I did an algorithm incorrectly). Totally amazing.

Chuck, you're getting quite amazing at 4x4x4 BLD now! Time to start getting serious about 5x5x5 BLD?

 

[driftboy_wen]

First BLD 4x4x4 success today, but i haven't got any solve yet after that. time to sleep =D

 

[Chuck]

4x4x4 BLD: 6:52.40 (3:07)!!!!
5x5x5 BLD: DNF (13:15.20!!!, 6:37)

That's very awesome! Two new PBs. Simply wonderful.

Chuck, you're getting quite amazing at 4x4x4 BLD now! Time to start getting serious about 5x5x5 BLD?

Thanks, Mike! Haha, I don't think I'm going to practice 5x5x5 BLD anytime soon, I want to work more on my 4x4x4 BLD accuracy which is not satisfying enough for me yet. Not to mention that it's still going to be a looong time until an official 5x5x5 BLD event going to be held at my country. I'm still the only Indonesian that had ever try 5x5x5 BLD (and successful).

I guess I'm going to teach more and more cubers. Just like what Arnaud said, "We teach it so that everyone can do it better than us". That's so inspiring for me.

Wish me luck.
