lol,how many BLD methods do you know in total?

The ones I listed, plus 3OP. By the way, if we're going to discuss further, I suggest PMs. Don't want to clutter the forum. =)

Wow Chris! You beat me to sub10 Well played sir!

Thanks Aron! Also, to be fair, I did have a tiny head start

A pretty good little run for me. I'm almost consistently sub-3!

Did ~ 20 successes / 30 in sighted solves using TuRBo/BH corners. Give or take a few successes. I lost the session due to my mother closing it, but I know the rough number.

The failures was when I did the wrong TuRBo alg or did the commutator wrong (I didn't count a DNF when I correctly identified the comm type, and had to look up the alg (aka for a column or orthogonal).)

This may not be an accomplishment to some but it's pretty damn hard to do this stuff sighted, at least for me. Corners are the hardest.

thats a url.

That's a URL. *

If you are going to be an English teacher, then don't be a hypocrite.

You had less then 10 letters, and you made 2 mistakes.

Sorry, but it is almost definately one of the most annoying things that I see on speedsolving...

 

[aronpm]

Ben, stop posting in the BLD threads if all you are doing is critisizing the way people write.

@Ryan: personally I find center comms the hardest to do sighted

 

[Zane_C]

Congratulations Chris! I knew it was coming.

 

[rishabh]

first edges only bld solve

i should have timed it >.<

i wasn't expecting on a success though

Memo:
Edges:KFDUAW-CJPE flip S
Corners:LCWVMK flip D (clockwise)
Memo:4:29.52
Execution:4:05.02
Total:8:34.54

FINALLY. A change from posting in the failures thread.

I don't know what happened. Nothing special, it just happened. My last ~5 solves have all been failures and taken more than 10 minutes.
My former PB is technically 22 minutes. Holey smokes.

Story/Memo
Made a lot of this up on the fly.
Kentucky Fried (chicken) Diggs Up Adam West (The "Family Guy" version. He seems to have been buried in the sand)
CJ (Cregg, Alison Janney from "The West Wing") PE (Does Physical Education class at my old high-school gym), whilst holding a frying pan and flipping Sausages
LongCat (LongCat is long) WaVes at MarK (A dude I know called Mark) who is holding a frying pan, flipping it, in it is a Dog.

Only differences:
- No classical music.
- It's 3:30am.
- My craptastic new method for memoing flipped edges and corners http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?785-Memory-Methods&p=536050&viewfull=1#post536050
- A decent, medium pace. Not slow, not rushing.
- And I have been practicing like a mother.

WOO!

(Now to see how fast I can re-do that execution. I'm slow, it'll be 3 minutes if I'm lucky).

Congrats on the very nice solve! 14 minutes improvement is really great! :tu

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Not really too much of an accomplishment, but I just got an exactly 2:00.00 solve. Well, actually it was 2:00.004, but regardless, thought it was odd.

 

[Julian]

Just utterly smashed my old PB of 3:52.80 with a time of...






3:52.78

Memo:

Spoiler

I memo corners then edges, execute edges then corners.

Edges:
QVML as letters (sort of memo'd M and L visual because M is BU and L is FU)
DO (Do. Lol.)
HK (Hong Kong)
EGJN visual (don't know why I decided to do this, but I'm glad I did )

Corners:
ULAQ (You'll acquire)
CERA (Cera. Michael Cera? I don't know)

New pb single for 7x7x7 BLD! My first sub-hour too!

This helps me to feel better about my epic failure last night.

55:49.46 (32:xx memo)

 

[danthecuber]

7x7x7 BLD!

Will it become an official WCA event soon?

 

[Yes We Can!]

Will it become an official WCA event soon?

No.
