I got stuck to see me name on that list. It is cool to have it up-to-date. There is some really amazing performance there.

My others PBs should fit there then, though not that amazing:
10/10 in 37:21
12/12 in 46:13

Cool, your times will be added once qq updates it.

Edit: Which one do you think will be the most difficult to beat? I think Aron's ones (especially 4/4 and 13/13) and Florian 50/50 are the most astonishing.

Very good question, although Florian's 50/50 is ridiculously accurate - a large amount of time can be used for rehearsing and going slow.

As for Aron, I can't decide which one would be more difficult. I can't imagine myself breaking either of those results.

10/11 in 53:20.55. Reviewing took absolutely forever. I was getting mad actually. I still don't know full memo time xD. So forgetful.

Well, you've definitely passed me now. I just had 10/11 last night in 59:27.38. I had the same exact problem - reviewing took absolutely forever and I was getting really angry. I wanted to quit a couple of times, things just wouldn't stick. I was on something like my fifth review through all the cubes, over 40 minutes memorizing, when suddenly it mostly began to stick. It's funny how that happens sometimes. I had to solve at breakneck speed because I had used too much time memorizing, and I knew I was really close to the full hour. Apparently my one cube was a missed setup turn somewhere, because I was off by 4 corners and 4 edges.

Congratulations, and good luck on your attempt to break the NAR! US Nationals should really be fun.

Thanks Mike! Going to really drill my current locations and work on my system for twisted corners and flipped edges, as that is going to most likely be the possible downfall of me not getting NAR. I don't deserve NAR anyway, you all have put such devotion into multi. Karma will make me fail . I doubt I've passed you Mike, I didn't have too many hard scrambles in that multi (none easy in the slightest, just not really hard ).

i would like to know how you emorize the edges. Or you, all guys, just make words from letters, or just pronounce all letters to make word?

I memorize the first 4, 6 or 8 edges visually, but this might not be good for you. For the rest, I make words out of the pairs of letters.

For me every sticker has a letter, and I combine two letters into a prepared 1 syllable word. I then say the string of words as quickly as possible so that the actual memorization happens through the phonological loop and echoic memory, and not through any real conscious effort.

Won 3x3x3 BLD today at Cornell with a safety solve. 1:51. Memo was like a minute.

At home that would have been a PB. 4 letters to memo for corners (auditory) and then edges had 1 solved IIRC, and then FR and BR flipped (pure flip). Edge memo had no new cycles to break into. Possible WR material. It was first BLD of comp though and I had went into that solve with mindset of safety, so I didn't realize how good of a scramble it was until I saw how easy corners were .

When I got my certificate the organizers asked what method I used, felt nice that they thought I was fast. Got compliments from audience people on my solve (they watched).

Stoked now. Now I'll be making the transition to using edge comms in 3BLD. Don't know how to approach that so I'd appreciate help (UF buffer). 3 weeks until Park Ridge and I get a NAR multi BLD attempt.

Scrambled in my BLD scheme, z' to orient after.
60 moves to solve corners(includes parity)
62 moves to solve centers
116 moves to solve edges(2 parity algs too)
238/100 = 2.38 TPS, and that's in STM

Basically, in no way an easy scramble for me but execution had no pauses.

O__o

I thought it was 3x3 BLD at first and then I saw that it was 4BLD, that's insanely fast. UWR?

Wut wut nice! Insane Ville o_O. Glad I got my post in before yours. There's the sub3!

Congrats Ville! Your memo times are truly insane! O_O

 

[minime12358]

I guess that everyone said this already but:

O_______________O NICE, Ville!

Jaw dropping!

 

[RyanReese09]

In practice for Park Ridge Open, which is in a few weeks.
12/12 in 54:17.46

40 total memo. Insane execution (no delays almost)

Memo still feels so slow, I keep an issue on something. This time corner memo on one cube was always coming up wrong when I would trace it. Very annoying.

I don't see anything annoying there Ryan. I am wondering if you will ever stop improving actually! Man, you were doing like 8 cubes in that time one mouth ago!

Edit: Indeed, 14min execution is very good. Keep in mind that you still needed 40min to memorized, this is obviously where you can gain the most. Work on it and the world record will be in front of you.

 

[RyanReese09]

It was annoying because memo was going pretty good, speedwise, until then, and I was trying for about 2 minutes just getting a correct trace going until I finally got it.

Yeah I was looking up at the timer at 20 minutes and looked at my cubes memo'd (forget the number) and thought about how long it would have taken me to memo all that a bit ago.
I hope my accuracy continues in comp..

 

[Xishem]

Wow. Ville, that's insanely awesome.

Also, Ryan, nice work at winning Cornell! Good luck with your NR endeavor. You seem to improve so quickly at everything. D:

 

[RyanReese09]

Yeah Micael both review and memo went kinda bad and I was thinking this attempt would be horrible but I pulled it together during execution. Memo should have been a lot faster. I need to work on reviewing faster :3.

I think I'll be doing 11 cubes until Park Ridge, since that is most likely the number I will be attempting there.

Thanks Xishem! I don't improve fast at 4x4 , I wish I did. Hopefully with my Dayan coming in I'll break sub1 barrier.
