4x4 BLD 7:44.51 min (3:58 memo)

Handscramble, done on a busride, double parity.

Finally sub-8
8 centers correct, no edges. It felt like a normal solve, but memo was easy and execution was so fluent, and barely any memo-recalls.

Next goal 7:30 single and stay under 9 min at each attempt.
 
So yeah, I'm back in form for multibld after 2/3 months without proper attempts. Did 7 cubes a couple of days ago in 39, which was a nice tester, but a bit slowfor my liking. Today 10/10 48:32 [32:40]. Next attempt will be 11 cubes sometime in 2 or 3 days time. Maybe 12 if I'm feeling good.
 
11/11 54:12 [36:18] Fairly happy with this. Was generally quite easy, but I need a better system for memoing twisted/flipped pieces - it's getting tricky to just do them abstractly in my mind for all the cubes.
 
kinch, the way I memo my cube is with each sticker symbolized with a letter. On my route I have waypoints with two letters in each symbolizing an object.

In example yellow-blue edgesticker is A and blue-yellow sticker is B. If I need to remember this sticker to be flipped, I just remember BA = BAnana.

If Yellow-Orange needs to be flipped I just remember CD. In that way I instantly know that that piece needs to be flipped.

Hope this made sense!

Thanks. I also use that memo system with waypoints for multibld (but with 4 letters in each place). I guess your way could work quite well, as it is just carrying on with the same method and doesn't even require you to realise that you're simply flipping a piece - it will just be shooting to the 2 stickers one after another.

The reasons I didn't really want to use a method like that is firstly because it requires another 2 letters (and an extra waypoint) just for one flip. My route unfortunately only has room for 8 corner and 12 edge shoots, so flipped pieces would generally send it over my limit. Also, if there are 2 flipped edges then it would be rather inefficient to shoot to 4 places rather than doing an MU 2 edge flip alg. One other thing I just thought of (might only apply to M2 method). When there's parity, and the buffer needs to be flipped, it would be more confusing to remember to do parity before the end of reaching the route for that cube (unless you remember that the buffer isn't where you expect it to be!).

Anyway, I'm trying to find a way that they can be memorized in a way that doesn't just blend in with my normal route. Today I experimented with imagining a bollard in the middle of the road when there are pieces to be flipped/twisted, and that worked well to make sure I didn't go past anything without realising, but that doesn't tell me which pieces very easily :p

Sorry for the long reply :)

Enjoy your UWR :) Now if only I could actually update the ranking.

What do you mean? It's a great accomplishment, but not UWR? Not fastest under an hour or infinite time?
 
Wow, nice job.

@qqwref: why can't you update them?

@Sakarie: UWR for fastest 11/11. Previous was Chuck's 55:10

Can't access my website at the moment (user/pass has changed I guess), so I can't update any files.

Interesting. I'm sure other people have done faster than this at home though. And Tong did his 15 cubes in competetion faster than that :p.

I've never heard of anyone doing 11/11 faster than that. And I keep a separate top 3 list for every number of cubes, so you can get UWRs without necessarily beating the performances on other numbers in an absolute sense. The current 'weak' numbers (looking only at the first place result) are 6, 13, 14, 17-23, 25-29.
