1:18, 1:29, 1:34, 1:46, 1:22, DNF, DNF, 1:34, DNF, 1:24, 1:17, DNF.

Decent.
First 12 solves in a couple weeks and I got my first sub 1:20s.
Maybe I should start practicing BLD again.

Oops - this is exactly what Chester Lian did right before he suddenly got totally awesome. It feels like déjà vu.

Looking forward to seeing you regularly hitting sub-1 in the next few weeks, Anthony! :)

I'm not so sure if I'll ever be fast enough to get regular sub 1s, but I think you just gave me the motivation to try, Mike. :) I have 2 weeks of Christmas break left, we'll see what happens. Chances are I'll either go BLD crazy and at least improve somewhat, or I'll be lazy and stick to 3x3 speed. :p

I suspect Chester thought the same thing; he gave up on BLD for about a year, then suddenly came back, got times very much like yours above, then practiced for a couple of weeks and all of a sudden he was hitting sub-1 pretty much every day. Anyway, good luck! I hope it happens to me someday (maybe a few years from now, but someday...).
 
YES!! :D

I just got my first successful 4x4 BLD solve :D

It was my third try ever! The first try was earlier today!! :p

First try was off by 6 pieces, seconds was off by 7 pieces and third was solved!! :D

The time was 21:14!! :D

It was the second scramble for weekly competition #51.

I forgot to check the memo-time. I hope I remember to check it sometime. I think it was around 13-14 minutes memo but I'm not sure.

The probabilities are against you Mike :) :)
Just because of the simple fact that you cannot give up BLD a year :)

Yeah, Tim's was 4x4.


I really wanna try 4x4, but I find it hard to focus for such a long time.

I really wanna get better at 4x4x4, but I find it hard to focus for such a short time. :)

And Tim, VERY nice job! I knew you could be really good at this if you actually tried.

Still don't have the consistency for even a 20% success rate, though. It took probably 15 or so DNFs until I got that (5x5 as well). Hopefully I'll have a higher success rate before DC.
