9/10 multiBLD in an hour.

I knew you was going to try something like that soon. 25 min is very fast memo, you can do 35min for 10/10 soon I am pretty sure.

5x5x5 BLD in 45:28 [23:02]

Second attempt, first success. I am closed to master 4x4x4 BLD now so the only new thing is + centers, but they were quite easy to figure out.

Impressive

I had some 20+ attempts before I got my first. Now that I think of it, I'm amazed that I didn't give up

Thanks. I needed about 20 attempts for the 4x4x4.

Just feel to post again:
4x4x4 BLD in 13:44 [5:10]

Now I love big cubes BLD . It tooks like 2 months for the work to paid off. 4x4x4 was a very big step for me, but I feel that it will be faster now to learn bigger cubes. I have followed this thread for a while and saw all those big cube results. I am glad to finally join the fun.

Close to PB, new memo PB.

4x4BLD (First scramble of the weekly): 7:06.11 (2:57!!!!)

Yeah, I failed execution. 2 30 seconds recall delays...

 

[LarsN]

Wow, crazy fast Maarten

I forgot, which memo method do you use?

9/10 multiBLD in an hour. I don't know what the time was, but it was pretty close to an hour, so I just think of it as 59:59.99.

Freestyle corners, M2 edges. Memorization was under 25 minutes, didn't refresh anything at all. I solved the cubes in reverse order.

I don't understand. With a 25 minute memorization, at your speed, you should have been done in 35 minutes total. Add 5 minutes for your big memory pause and giving up, and it still should have been 40 minutes. Was it just lots of little recall delays? If so, these will go down, fast, if you practice. I would imagine you should have no problem with 16/16 or so once you get your memorization technique down.

Awesome! And that wasn't even the easy scramble. Wait until you try the second one!

Already you're better than me. It's so hard to keep up with you talented young cubers.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Never mind, Mike. Tried the second one.

6:14.42 (2:41)

See, I told you so! Now you have a faster best time than me. But it doesn't count because it's lucky.

You need to work on your execution. You were actually a little slower than me there - you beat me on memorization time.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Grrrr....

But my nonlucky PB is still faster than yours too, right? (6:57)

 

[Mike Hughey]

I don't think so - I've had another sub-7 that was faster than that and non-lucky, I think, although I'd have to go looking for it to find it. But of course, with your times, it's only a matter of time until you beat me. Maybe that third scramble?

Edit: I found it: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=247891#post247891.

Now you have something to shoot for.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Nope, 7:22.00 DNF, 3 edges and 2 centers. Still a nice time though

Indeed. Congratulations!

You are a marvel!! Nice!
I wonder where you are (cubewise) in half a year or so.
This is already Ville-class. Only Chris's Chattahoochee
is left .

It is only one record that you cannot reach
(at least not in another 45 years or so )

 

[rahulkadukar]

2/2 in 1:40.91!! My first sub2 heh. Memo was 36s.

Please make videos of your awesome solves.

I had heard that Ville has done a 3:26 4x4x4 BLD

Oldest BLD solver? :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's the one. And Mats will probably keep it from you a lot longer than that. (At least 20 more years, surely!)

And yeah Mats, he's Ville-class in terms of official solves, but unofficially, he has a long way to go. But he is showing the talent for it - I wouldn't be surprised to see occasional Ville-like times in a few more months. The memorization times are astounding!

Wow. I do my centres memo in the time you do the whole memo

 

[blah]

@Mike: Freestyle corners made memo so much easier, but I take forever for execution.
