I don't do bld.

I'm gonna try to improve it though.

 

[amostay2004]

Somehow looking at that list makes me wanna practise multi

 

[kinch2002]

It's not updated properly though. QQ did tell me that I have the unofficial 11/11 because I got 51 or something. Someone should get it going again

[19:36] <cincyaviation> YES!!!
[19:36] <cincyaviation> 9:47.03, success
scramble: U' D' R2 F2 U L2 B2 U2 L F' R F' U2 F' U' L D U2 L2 U' L U F' D2 R'
Memo was something like this
Edges: CoX (imagine Bobby Cox) WiQ (WQ makes the sound "wick") Holding James (imagine a person holding up a guy named james) LaiR (imagine a mini cave) EM&m( letters EM make an "M" sound) PaVe.
Corners: NO2, JaR, visual memo for commutator to finish off corners
All these are turned into images and placed in my living room.

I updated it today. And some records are slow simply because I haven't heard of anyone doing them faster - I guess when you can do 12 cubes at a certain time/cube you just don't bother to do 11 at the same speed. And if I haven't heard of a solve it's not going to be listed. (Generally, I'll see something if it's posted in this thread.)

New square-1 BLD PB: 3:43.16 (1:43)! Sub-4!!!

Shape case 2; didn't seem at all lucky. Using Frank Dumont's random-state scrambler, scramble:
(-2,0) / (3,0) / (5,-1) / (0,-5) / (-3,-3) / (-3,0) / (-1,1) / (0,4) / (-2,4) / (-4,0)

I suppose there might be something wrong with this scramble, because I haven't seen any verification that the scrambler is valid, but it looks like it might work, and the scramble seemed normal to me, not particularly easy (other than no parity) - I just had an easier than usual time memorizing it. 2 edges were solved after getting to square, but no corners.

By the way, I have now had successful solves with 57 of the 90 possible cubeshapes. Almost 2/3 done!

53, and 56 with Freestyle corners. I also had a 44 DNF off by 3 edges. I am now using freestyle/comms for corners as my main method.

41.31, with freestyle corners, but instead of doing a 2 flip at the end, I flipped the wrong 2, and had to do another one xD

 

[amostay2004]

How did you change your corners method and get fast so quickly??!!

Just remember who he is... =P

 

[Faz]

I average about 1:10 with freestyle corners now. It's just, I memoed the edges pretty quickly on that solve, and the corners were very easy for me.

Which made you loose like 0.8 seconds...

 

[Kynit]

First edges solve with M2 - finally realized that shooting to UF/FU/BD/DB is ridiculous

M2 is a million times more fun than old pochmann edges

Faz, first off congratulations on the fast solve! That's incredible! I have a question though, have you ever thought about orienting any flipped edges, with the buffer edge if an odd number are flipped, before starting the cycles? I find it easier to do this so that you don't have to remember which edges to flip during the whole solve, only for just long enough to put on the blindfold and actually execute the flips. You can do exactly the same thing with corners also.

Like I have any authority to give you advice, but in case you haven't tried it this way you may find it easier to memorize those flipped edges/twisted corners.

[Faz]

Yeah, but it's not like I scan the cube for flipped edges at the start
