2:36.79 :D :D :D
memo and execution were both 1:18 lol
1st scramble from weekly
PB by 25 seconds

Edit:
55 second memo, first sub60! Too bad it was DNF (2:16.18) :(
I did memo correctly, but then I switched the order of the last 2 images, and so was off by 4 edges.

Edit2:
2:55.23

Never had a sub3 attempt before today, then my only 3 solves of the day are like this! Awesome

4bld :D
I memorised 8 centre targets yesterday, and the rest of the cube in about 30m today. However, this included getting breakfast, doing a few X-cube 4 solves, I just casually memorised, so the time hardly matters, more the fact I got it :p
My centres only took 2 locations, and my edges only took 3! 8 corner targets, so I did corners audio, with yperm, as 8 is a multiple of 4, so I knew the centres would be fine. I memorised centres->edges->corners. I executed corners->centres->edges.
Y-perm corners, T-perm centres, r2 edges.
:D
 
4x4x4 BLD - 07.00.95 mins

Soooo close to sub-7 :D
But its ok. The solve had edge-parity and corner-parity. So without one of those two, it would have been clearly sub-7.

3x3 BLD with UF buffer, this was my third try. My first try was 1:31, and my second try was dnf 58 off by 3 edges :)

It's kinda nice, but I won't be switching for a while (or ever...)
 
2/2 in 2:01.70 :D. Would've been a whole lot happier if it was over 1.70 faster.

First cube journey, second cube normal (audio/visual).
Not sure what the memo was, after the first cube was memorised and reviewed it was 30 seconds.
I like it how my journey memo isn't much slower than my normal 3BLD memo.

4/4 in 4:49.46 (~2:25 memo)

Pretty good. Not gonna try again :P

1:12 total per cube, about 36s per cube for memo/exec.

I bet qq is sick of updating his list so much :o
 
lol?

Anyway, still cooll.

I was just kidding because I found it kinda strange to say "off by 2 corners" as the 'corners' is redundant :p.

First sub-50 and it's non-lucky :D
Finally! Nice scramble (edges).

EDIT2:
59.71, 1:03.51, 55.35, (1:08.84), (52.04) = 59.52 :O
First sub-1:10 avg!
The session went like this: 8 consecutive successes, 4 consecutive DNFs :/

2:27.67[pb!!], DNF(1:22.71)[messed up on corners, gave up], 2:27.60[DNF, off by 5 edges. 3 of which cycled on M slice. 2 flipped], DNF(2:52.57)[didn't do parity. 2 corners twisted], 1:55.61[memo 58 execution the rest.FIRST SUB2 ;D]

From the blindfold race. Broke PB twice there.

The 1:55 was 58 memo, rest execution. No recall delays for the most part o.O.

3x3 BLD with UF buffer, this was my third try. My first try was 1:31, and my second try was dnf 58 off by 3 edges :)

It's kinda nice, but I won't be switching for a while (or ever...)

I considered learning UF buffer, but I chose DF over it not only because I could use M2 if I forgot a case, but I just found it much easier to make the comms. UF is great if you're going to take advantage of all the <R,U> 2-gen cases but I'm way too lazy for that so I'm sticking with DF.

Who knows, maybe I'll adopt multiple edge buffers some day and make a list of comms for DB. :P It actually wouldn't be that bad now that I think of it, and most cases would be almost the same as DF, since reflectin on S is really easy to do in your head.
 
Did some comp-style bld, with paper covering the cube before starting and a stackmat, and I got this:

Average of 5: 34.20
35.41 (DNF 54.41) 34.33 (30.63) 32.86
