Mats: It's a bad habit that's stuck with me from the start of 4x4BLD solving. It's for solving the BU, DB and UF edges. I do x2 and then F' D R F D' to flip the UB edge pair. I use the same alg for 3x3. So instead of leaning an new way I've just kept rotating the cube.

In hind sight this was a pretty nice solve, considering the 30 second pause between centers and edges.

(30,98), 39,53, 34,66, 33,97, (40,97) = 36.05 I'm back!

Wow!! :O

 

[zaub3rfr4g]

first 4/4 ever

 

[martijn_cube]

my first podium finish in competition. And new official PB. I got second place, and i'm the one on the left

 

[Cuber3]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally did the cube (3x3) BLD!!!!!!!!

43:37, 35:05 memo. Approximately.

6th attempt, with parity, and using Old Pochmann - except for a little bit where it was easier to use a commutator (corner orientation) .

Congrats Cuber3

It's the best feeling to have completed a BLD solve for the first time

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

2/2 5:40.67

I'm getting faster, I really hope to stackmat a 3/3 sometime

my first podium finish in competition. And new official PB. I got second place, and i'm the one on the left

I'm the one on the right
New official PB for me too, and it's the first time I get all successful solves in competition.

I love Erik's face in the podium picture.

Maybe not the best success ever, but for me it's pretty good.

Edges only: 5:02.78.

This was after about 10 straight edge only fails.

Congrats. Get that below 5 minutes by January.

YES!

8:11.48 (4:08.99)

First 3x3 BLD (or any BLD) solve ever!

Yaaaaaaaay! ^__^

Personal bests in 3x3 and 4x4 BLD at Utah Open last Saturday.
3x3 - 1:14.9x
4x4 - 11:41.00

Failed at 5x5, but doing it first was a smart choice as it made 4x4 seem so easy in comparison. Also, I gave up my spot in the OH final to do my 4x4 BLD solve. Totally worth it.

Wow! That's impressive! Nice job Shelley! (You beat István too! )

 

[Sakarie]

New unofficial personal best at 4x4, 11:42.60!

I beat my record three days ago (16 something), but I knew I could do better. But I didn't expect this much, since this is also the fastest time I've ever had.

Woah Shellie, nice job!

Very nice Arvid! I feel your breath.

Finally, I ended my DNF streak for 3x3x3 BLD. On Sunday, I started doing my memo quicker and not reviewing it, because I wanted to drop my times. As a result, I've had 28 DNFs since then. And finally, I got a success! It was 2:41.77, which is my successful PB by about 1:20. It's even faster than my fastest DNF.

Did 2 [3x3] BLD solves in a row today! (in public)
Both sub 30 mins. (We had one hour in class, solved it once, and the kids scrambled it and I did it again.) With 10 minutes to spare!
