First ever sub-60 for 3x3x3 BLD!

59.28
This was definitely not done at GOGOGOGO pace. I tried to go at a pace that felt like the 3x3x3 version of the 5x5x5 pace I was using in weekly competition #6, so slightly faster than that but not ridiculously so.

Woah, crazy, great job. Zane had a fast either multi or 5BLD result and we spoke at the meetup, he didn't try to memo fast, he just said he went slow and steady, I've been trying to memo like this and it helps, and it's more relaxing and enjoyable (and fast and easier to recall )

YOU BLOODY RIPPER! FIRST EVER 3x3 BLD SUCCESS!! (4th real attempt, second for the night).

Finally, I've seen your DNFs in the BLD failures thread, good job.

AUSSIE CUBERS FTW! WE'VE GOT ALL THE SPEED RECORDS, NOW WE'RE AFTER THE BLD AND MULTIBLD AS WELL. LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS. FAZ, ZANE AND ARONPM IN THE HOUSE! VEGEMITE FOR LIFE! DEATH TO ORANGINA!

Austraya mayte!

OK, it's 1am, and I need a beer.

Well earned...

Congratulations Toastman and Chris!

Woah. Under a minute a cube. Congrats.

 

[nccube]

First 3x3 success using PAO for edges: 4:50.xx

 

[TMOY]

332 BLD in 1:20.05. With 3-cycle it's really easy

1:08.19, new PB. With edge parity.

Ben: just learn comms

Edit: yeah sub-1 56.58, no parity.

 

[porkynator]

Single PB: 1:29.05
and 1:51.17 mean 8/10
1:40.86, 1:57.34, 2:08.59, 2:00.57, 1:48.74, DNF(2:12.98), 1:29.05, DNF(2:59.22), 2:02.09, 1:42.12
on that 2:59 while solving the edges I noticed I had forgotten parity, so I undid the cycles I had done, did the parity and finished the solve... stil dnf :fp

 

[mati rubik]

single PB, 2:51.11 with hand scramble, and the second solve after that, 2:22.18

My goal is sub 2

Classic y-perm Pochmann.

Results from Norwegian Open 2011:

333BLD: Won the competition with the time 1:49.xx, not very proud of this. I took some cheap advice instead of going for what I really wanted; to break my competition PB (1:38.xx). Safesolved all the way. Had a 1:36 with two corners twisted the wrong way. Need to stop doing that.

3MBLD: Won with the score 7/8 which is OK. 8 cubes is starting to feel like a small-MBLD. Next competition will certainly include at least 10-12 cubes. I took my time and started at 40, even though I was finished memorizing at 23. The messed up cube was a Y-perm gone wrong and I KNEW it. Tried undoing my moves but to no avail. Joar filmed it all

[video]www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=e24PUHPMSuw[/video]

4BLD: Only me and Eivind trying this. DNF by two corners twisted wrong (read above ^^) and the second one was a mess. Too late in the day to do 4BLD

All in all I have mixed feelings about my results. I know I can get alot faster in everything, I just hope I get the time to practise till next competition

 

[Xishem]

A new 3BLD personal best: 2:58.83

So excited that I got a sub-3 single! It was non-lucky too -- really just a lot of letter pairs that I could come up with images for pretty quickly (My images list isn't completely made, so I just make images on the fly).

Makes me wonder, what happens if you +2 more than 1 cube in a MBLD attempt? +4? Or still +2?

I thought the same thing. I imagine it's +2 for each unsolved cube, going by the WCA regulations for solved state.

And this:
H1b1) When the total time is reached, the attempt is stopped and the number of solved and not solved puzzles is counted.

Done for a German forum competition and beets my personal best by like 10 seconds (not too sure about my previous PB).

NO solves pieces and even parity but it was just very easy for me to memo.

New 3x3 PB yesterday, btw.

 

[riffz]

1:19.12

New PB single, non-lucky.

I'm not improving at all since I started school again. I vow from this point forward to attempt an average of 5 BLD solves every day at minimum.

I had a huge recall delay on my final corners image for the 3rd solve, otherwise it would have been around 1:3x as well.

 

[minime12358]

3x3 -> 4th and 5th solves ever in the 5:xy.za

 

[amostay2004]

(40.96), (DNF(47.80)), 44.44, 45.88, 46.39 = 45.57

Thing is the time before the 40 was another 40 DNF because I slipped a move during the final edge flip
