I think it's about 25/35. I get sub-30 executions quite often though.

No, it's DIADEM (like advanced M2) + TuRBo-Corners (but with way more than just the "A-Perm-pattern") nowadays

Still no success, but my failures are getting faster!
I've gone from about 19 minutes to under 10 with around the same amount of pieces messed up... can't be TOO long until I get a success, can it?
Just remember that you learn a lot on every solve in the beginning (because I suppose you're a beginner?). I really hope you get some successes soon, but just don't quit, and you'll be garanteed to get one!

I did epic freestyle during edges but DNF'd anyway.

New square-1 BLD PB: 5:21.80 (2:53 memorization).
Case EA, edge parity. Sub-5 is very close.
Also, I recited my entire square-1 memorization list in 28 minutes this morning - first time under 30 minutes. That's really nice because my commute to and from work is 30 minutes long. Now I can go through the whole thing in one trip!

You're not driving during reciting the list, are you Mike? Public transport?

It's safe while driving; it's not like I have to concentrate very hard to recite it. It's no different from listening to an audio book or a radio talk show while driving.
Edit: I see that there are studies that seem to indicate otherwise - that recalling memory alone can be distracting. I wonder if, for the study, this was something that was freshly taught to be recalled, and if that's different from something like this where I'm rehearsing something I've already worked on for weeks. It certainly doesn't feel like what I'm doing is impacting my driving in any way, and it is very easy for me to stop when something happens while driving. It feels safer than holding a conversation with someone else, since I'm not having to respond to anyone - I'm on my own schedule.

I got the almost perfect solve. Still a glorious feeling.
A 4BLD from this weeks comp. Easy but NL. I'll never beat it I guess.
Memo 2:47, solving 2:59, total 5:46.17. No parity of course.
PB with way over a minute (I've had just one solve barely sub-7 before)
Moves
Corners: 25 (8+8+9)
Centers: 60 (8+10+10+8 + 8 + 8 + 8) (4 cycles)
Edges: 99 (10+10+8+8+8+10 + 8+8+11+8+10)
Total 184, so tps a little more than 1.0
Memory was just fluent, the stories almost gave themselves.
No hard comms at all, I did not have to think at all.
A just marvelous feeling, 100% concentration through the whole solve.
You don't get these often, almost comparable to the first bld ever.
I just realized that for centers I never have 9-moves commutators, only
8 or 10 (with one setup move). No cancellation of setup moves for centers.
Almost two years ago I had my first 4BLD in comp (almost 27 minutes).
In that same competition Ville made a new 4BLD WR with 6:05. That WR solve made
a great impression on me, I thought it was so fantastic. Now I actually done a similar
one myself (yes, at home, easy solve and all that, but still).

You're faster than me now! (I think my PB is 5:49.77.)Congratulations, Mats - you're totally amazing!
And I bet you'll have more. You're really improving fast these days.

Well done!
That's a great solving time - I've never been sub-3 myself. And of course a lovely memo too Mats, that's a great time. Congrats
I did that scramble too and I got 4:44.28, ~2:00 memo so I guess ~2:40 execution. Nice scramble. (I also did 4:00.02 DNF for the second scramble, off by 8 centers and 10 wings, with 1:30 memo. I probably scrambled wrong.)

I just tried it too. I thought it was not an easy scramble - easily the hardest of the three this week (but then, that wasn't hard to do, since the other two were quite easy). 8:38.45. I wonder if you guys oriented it differently from me - it wasn't exactly a bad scramble, but I didn't like it at all. (I got sub-7's on the other two this week.)
Edit: I guess I know I oriented it differently from Mats - I had a corner misoriented in place.
