For midges, is it safe to do (For M slice stuff) same normal M2 algs?

Watch the Fd, Fu, Uf and Ub +centers when doing U2 M' U2 M' and its inverse...

Nice! 16 minutes for executing 13 cubes is still fast. :tu

5/5 in 11:32 (6:40 memo). That would've been awesome 3 years ago. Nowadays it's not even considered "fast" ;).

But the real accomplishment is: My images never were as clear as they are now :).

Are you joking? That is still great :D

Imagine that pace for the entire hour.... Thats WR. I absolutely know that it is completely different, but it still serves a point.

I think we all know tim could hold the WR again if he really wanted to. I sincerely believe that with practice he could redo his former WR 24/24, but this time within an hour (so it would count again). It would take practice, but he could do it.

I am quite sure we are on the verge of a new era in MBLD.. Barriers will be broken and the average results in competitions will go up by alot. If I can mess around with the idea of breaking the WR with 17/17, then guys like Tim, Zane, Aron, Iril, Mike and others SURELY can.

Tim: That result is f... fast, grats!

MBLD 7/7: 28:52 (20min).

This is very bad. But it is getting better.

I agree with the other guys you list, but I'm starting to wonder about myself. I don't seem to be able to make memorization stick that quickly. 12 cubes seems quite possible for me, and 13 doesn't seem out of reach, but it has taken me a very long time to get just a little faster, and I feel like I need to find some new thing to do to give me a quantum leap forward, or else I'm stuck in mediocrity. It was easy to get to 10 cubes in an hour, but then it got tougher for me.

I had 10/11 again last night, in 50:53.71 (34:58 memo). It's one of my best times ever for an 11 cube attempt. Two corners twisted - I memorized the wrong letter for one of the twisted corners. :(

One thing I do wonder about: I do almost all of my attempts at multi late at night (so my daughters won't disturb me - or the cubes - during the solves), when I'm usually quite exhausted. I wonder how big a difference it would make to be doing them earlier in the day? I know that my 10/10 in 45 minutes in competition was way faster than I had ever done them at home; perhaps it would make a big difference.

Weekly 4BLD: 18:31 (11:18), 15:33, 15:01 = 15:01 OMG PB!

Say whaaat. I am unsure if I ever did any faster 4BLD then this (last I even tried was before Norwegian Open...) so I am happy about the results. 3/3 correct + my recent MBLD´s is telling me that memo sticks (although slowly).

I LOVE 4BLD. It is smexy combining 3 different things into one solve. Especially solve 3 was nice, permutation parity = 4 pieces solved!

I cant wait to see what you are able to do!

Also... I was like O.o when I saw that you only do night solves when you are exhausted! I cant wait to see what happens when you arent!

And about the memo sticking, I suck with that too, so I cram as much as I can into short term memo and then I put it into concrete, all at once. Not sure if that helps or not.

This reminded me.

What do you fast guys do for inserting images into your memo? Do you say a couple letter pairs in your head, determine the images, then place them in your location, or do you place an image in the location every letter pair?

I'm not fast but I normally just get 4 letters really fast, place htem in, and just go with it. If it's for 3bld I just get hte 4 letters, make the sentence, repeat that as I search for the next 4, etc etc. I don't review.

If you're talking a bout something like multi where images are used for long term basis, then yes I do what I said above.
 
The first solve for the day (and I think since Kubaroo):

1. 49.83 B U2 F' U2 F R F' U' F B R' L2 F B' L' D2 R L U2 F B' L D2 U2 R2

12 edge targets and 8 corner targets. :)
First sub-1 in 1-2 months, lately my only practise has been weekly comps and the BLD race. I've even been putting those off a bit.

I'm no BLD expert, but the last time I practiced 3BLD, I did some solves during the afternoon and averaged around 2:15, and then I tried some more later that night and averaged 2:40, so I would say it could make a pretty decent difference.
