7/9 in 52:10.05
M2/OP.

Wat time. 3 minutes faster then my 8 cube attempt. I guess 10 next week :).

4 cubes memo'd at 9 minutes. I keep forgetting to look at my overall memo time. Reviewing takes forever :(. Fast recall even for rushing..

Edit-This comm solves what the cube was off by

[E', F U' F']

Edit-I guess I should say what the cubes were off by. One was off by a pure 2flip of edges (DR DL). Memo problem. Had to of been. I know I executed the correct letter.

Other cube was off by the comm I just wrote (it solves the case)

Nice job. Just curious though: Why do you use M2 Op for it instead of BH? Prone to less errors maybe?

That, and plus thinking about the commutators would make execution not braindead in the slightest, and would be MUCH slower to do then M2/OP.

I don't see any foreseeable future where I use anything other than M2/OP for multi.

Ryan, 9 min for the first 4 cubes is very good. That's about the same as me. Yesterday I did 10 cubes and was at 10min after 4 cubes memo. Still I got 37min overall. With practice, your pace will not fade. It looks like you do only one multi attempt per week. You can do two, don't you?:p

Just one per week.
I have 2 jobs (25-28 hours per week at both, resulting in some double shifts as I go from one to the next), plus I go to school full time+training for a marathon in October, plus my GF.

I'm glad I find time to do multi as it stands. I guess I could try doing multi during a break I have one day during school, but I'm liking my progress so far so I'm unlikely to change my trends. I only want to get up to doing 13 at U.S. Nationals time, so being 4 cubes shy doesn't seem too bad..

I didn't have as much fading this time. It was around hte 7th or 6th cube this time, unlike the 4th or 5th before :).

Practicing BLD during week, and multi during a weekend seems to help improve my memo speed (as was the case today) so I'm going to pursue this further..

Ahhh I see. I figured as much too, whenever I am tired etc, I dont use BH, I use OP for edges and corners (I dont know M2..... :P)

I am hoping to get BH down incredibly well, to the point where I can just think 2 letters and out pops an algorithm. Huge task, but still :P. Im going to run through from AB- XW every day over spring break. It should take about an hour each day hopefully. That is, 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 3600, 10 seconds per thats 360. Oh wait... thats just part of corners xD Oh well.

As to doing 13 at nationals..... I guess I am going to have to aim to beat that xD 10 seemed doable to beat (not easy, obviously, but not like absolutely insane) but more than 12 seems just insane to me. Maybe the BH might put me over the edge :P.

I tried a few solves using OP today, with times ranging from 2:50-3:50 :D. With BH, that time should hopefully drop quite a bit; Solving a cube non blind I average about 1:45, but with the preinspection it should be lower.

Edit: And, by "solving the cube non blind", I mean solving with commutators, not blind

PB. First sub1:30 :). No new cycles needed, and 1 edge solved IIRC. I think. Been like 30 minutes.

Rounded up from video analysis, it's 29 memo (PB I think) and execution being 55 or whatever. So estatic. Decided I needed a new video up on youtube for my BLD, got this on the 4th solve (which is nice since I DNFd first 3, which is why I was excited (that and PB))


Should I post in video section?

Okay, now I need a sub 1:20 on video.

i did 3.57 min BLD solve yesturday, and it's my PB for now. I have problems with memorising the corner. i just memorise by taping the corner with my finger and trying to remember what colours it is. i would like to get faster, and i think what's realy making me slow is corner's. So can anyone suggest me how to memorise corners faster?>

Use something called the auditory loop

Basically your brain is hardwired to remember the last 10 seconds of whatever it heard. You don't need to think about it. Everyone has it. Give each corner a letter and say the letters in the memo asy ou go (try to memo under 10 seconds so you can use auditory. It gets taking used to to be able to say each letter instantly) but yeah. Say the letters and gogo. Don the blindfold and solve fast while it's in your head.

Sorry for such a brief explanation, late for class :).
 
What kind of tips did you (guys) want to know really? What I practice? How? I don't feel like writing an essay so me knowing the specifics would be easy on me :p.

Or if you guys are being sarcastic ignore this post ;).

I was being completely serious! :) As to the tips, I think mostly what I am looking for is pacing. As you may have seen with the ongoing debate in the Random BLD thread, I've been working a lot on my memo pacing lately. You responded in that thread already, though, so I have an idea of how you're approaching it.

Also, Eric congrats on your solve as well! What should we call you guys, team Reese? :)
