26.56. You aren't seriously counting that as a PB, are you?

Well it is not my nonlucky PB, but it is was not a scramble I tried out because someone told me that it's easy. And I'm not counting it as a serious PB because it will be bad if I don't break it by the end of the year or something. So, it is my lucky(very-very-very lucky) PB.

I have to admit, it would be pretty thrilling to get a scramble like that from CCT. I've never had one like that, for BLD. It must have been fun.

YES
First sub-1 3x3 BLD!!!
56.11
My previous PB was 1:26.61 since like half a year!!!! BOOM

1:01:98 lol. What an easy scramble.

Unbelievable scramble!

I got my first sub-1 too, but it doesn't count, because I didn't hit the scramble myself

My time was 57.93 using Old Pochmann for edges and corners, memorization was 19 seconds.

I hope thats using Slash's scramble, otherwise you are sick.

38.68 lol.

Hehe 19.25 with that scramble.

EDIT: also got 21.31 with this: F' D2 L' B2 F2 U B D U R' U L D L' D' U' R D2 L R B2 F' U2 B' R2
I've been getting sub30 solves more recently, like more than one in 12 solves on avg. Sometimes even 3 in an average. I should just make good use of them and get a really nice average.

 

[ManasijV]

43.98
12 sec memo :O Slight mistake in execution

 

[Mike Hughey]

Hehe 19.25 with that scramble.

Whee - sub-20 has been done on a CCT scramble! Pretty cool (even if it is outrageously lucky).

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Hehe 19.25

21.89

25.00 on your non-lucky scramble.

Just got my first success on 3x3 BLD edges only Using Classic Pochmann and letters for edges. Moving onto corners next, but I'm not sure how I should memo them (thinking I should either asign letters to corners or use visual memo). Also, I'm not sure what is the most popular/how most people solve 3x3 BLD, executing edges or corners first?

Any suggestions on memoing corners and wether to do edges or corners first would be great (yes, I'm a huge noob when it comes to BLD cubing).

Wow, you're getting pretty good! You should really learn BH (with speed-optimized algorithms instead of pure optimal commutators). With your raw speed, you could challenge Haiyan and Ville.

 

[Faz]

Lol no I suck at bld >_>. Especially memo. It's still >1 minute mostly.

And I need a braindead method

That's why I suggested that method, because it would be braindead. You're definitely right - with your speed, you would be awesome with a totally braindead method.

stop DNFing, its making me realize your human and i don't like it.

, some competition has risen up in Australia for BLD!! That awesome fazzles, needa start practicing

 

[cmhardw]

Did another demo 3x3 BLD solve recently for a math camp at my tutoring job recently. The total solve time was probably around 2:30-3:00 because I always go super/extra careful on memo to ensure a success. The solving phase was really fast for me, probably sub-40 or even sub-35. I suppose that makes sense, as my memo was super clear and fresh when I started solving.

Anyway the kids thought it was the coolest thing, and a couple of them were really inspired to give cubing a shot with our puzzle clinics. Not a particularly fast or good solve, but it felt good to put that spark into people for cubing

P.S. You 5x5 BLD people are crazy now! I'm certainly still practicing, and have not given it up, but the times nowadays are super fast! Good luck everyone with smashing my old record, it sounds like it will probably happen many times over, and by more than one person very soon!

Floppy cube BLD ;-)

Best/worst case scenario: Your WR gets broken by 5 people (and possibly more than 5 times) in one weekend. In no particular order (yeah right ):

Ville
Tim
Mike
Me
Dan <--- lol

I don't know if Rafal is competing, but they don't appear to have 5x5x5 BLD as an event at the Polish Open

Or, it might just be an epic fail weekend for everyone and you get to keep your WR
