Belgian Open success was my 7/7 multi in 44 mins. Was fairly relaxed throughout as I knew time wouldn't be an issue. Scrambles were pretty average I guess (as you might expect across 7 cubes) - a few solved pieces and a few flipped ones too. Next time maybe 10

First full attempt and success today in 5th period -total time was 5:24, splits are unknown. I got sent out in the hall for yelling "Hells yeah!"

I realized that I memorize a million times better by just memorizing the positions where the next piece need to go, rather than the "story" method.

I did a team BLD with Feryll. Does that count?

5:43.96 [2:23.91]. PB by something like 40 secs. 2nd Weekly Comp 2010-21 scramble. Quite a few centres solved but not outrageous amounts. The edge memo just seemed to flow extremely naturally and I did most of them visual. Corners were nice and simple for me too

Wow..you inspire me to learn 4bld May I know what method do you use for centres? I'm trying to learn U2 but I can hardly find any tutorial on it

I just use commutators (8 move ones with setups). I learnt from Chris Hardwick's tutorial (it might still be hanging around this site, or it might have vanished by now). I'm 99% certain it's faster than U2 in the long run and really isn't too hard to figure out yourself if you already know about comms. In case you want to know, I use r2 for edges and 3OP for corners. Again, comms are probably faster than r2 in the long run but r2 is really really easy. Corner methods will probably have to be centre safe if you want to memo them last and execute first, so BH (for pros) or 3OP (for noobs) might be the best bet

Wow, you've gotten good! Congratulations, I'll never catch you now.

Wow, Daniels memo beats mine cleanly. I haven't done much BLD recently, got somewhat bored with it. Maybe I'll be back during summertime.

 

[cincyaviation]

first corners only blindfolded solve, would have been a full solve if i hadn't switched up my memo during execution
done in math class BTW

Well done! So you've done corners and edges separately...now do the whole thing! It'll just take a bit longer, but shouldn't be much harder. Seriously, with a bit of practise it's really quite easy

First sub 3
2:56.75

1 edge already in the right slot and 1 corner,.

So is it lucky?

There is no set definition of lucky in bld, so it's up to you really. I wouldn't count it as a lucky solve, but it's slightly above average (I assume you mean that the pieces were oriented correctly too) so I'd mention it when posting the time (like you have). Well done BTW

 

[ThatGuy]

1:28.06 Corners only w/ old/classic pochmann. That's 1 min faster than my last attempt. My edges are around 2:30 right now so my first full attempt could be sub 5 like that goal I had since a year ago.

 

[Henrik]

4x4BLD: 8:03 min new PB by 1:37 min.

Hand scramble, 9 centers and 1 edge from start.
Parity on edges and corners.
4:11 memo.

Bone on a bus on my way to softball practice. (20 min bus ride)

 

[Brett]

Successful edges only 3x3 solve. First successful one that I had to break into a new cycle for.

 

[blah]

So I did two 3x3x3 BLD attempts because Kai (Jiptner) couldn't sleep.

1. DNF (1:14)
2. 53.20 L U F U F' R2 L' D U2 L F2 U D B D L' B D' R' L U2 R L B2 F'

LOL.

Instead of lullabys, Kai prefers the sound of Chester's bld solves...weird
