Race to sub1? The scales are about even. Memo times are somewhat the same, and my TPS/bad execution method makes up for your good execution method

Sounds good, but I still suspect that our race to sub-1 will be over by the end of the 100 scrambles. Which is nice, because we can see who wins by which scramble we hit it with. I give myself a 50% chance of making sub-1 in the remaining scrambles; I figure you're much closer to 100%. You already had a couple of sub-1 close DNFs; it seems very unlikely to me for you to be able to do 80 more scrambles without getting a sub-1.

Actually I have only had 1 sub1 DNF, and was definately not NL. I doubt I'll finish all 74 left but I"ll try.

1:12.02 solve. PB by 2 seconds. Did 1 edge comm in it

Congrats! Just thought I'd mention you could also use [U M2 U', L2].

You had me fooled with these from your race results:

12. DNF(59.55)
14. DNF(55.35)[NOO. 3 CYCLE CORNERS. AH]
23. DNF(53.33)[slip]

I guess you only said one of those was close. Were the other two cases of you giving up or something? (I pretty much never give up, so a giving-up sub-1 never happens for me.)

And I thought you said you were going to do all 85 remaining solves yesterday.

Shall attempt. I'll do 15 tonight, 85 tomorrow. 2 down so far.

 

[lucarubik]

aron, i ve just seen your solve and its good to see that I would do exactly the same
i got PB too with that scramble, but only by 0.2 44.23
BTW FD as buffer is damn crazy, but seems that it works, what would you do with LD RD?

I must have forgotten to give a comment on that other sub1. That one was me, IIRC, was either a giveup, or most likely, my cube overshooting, me doubting myself, and DNFing. So I guess giving that up too, if you want to call it that.

I'll just aim to keep up with your BLD solve # I guess. I have a busy schedule coming up .

 

[RyanReese09]

1:04.28 PB. Did two comms in it IIRC.

 

[Micael]

Ryan and Mike, can I race with you for sub-1?

1:03.51

That was done with crazy fast memo (for me), very risky, nothing close to a competition solve. Also the good 11+7 targets (one twisted edge, hence NL).

Sounds good, and very nice job. That's really close to my PB. (I know my PB is 1:03.xx, but I can't remember exactly - I don't really care because it's not sub-1. )

 

[Mollerz]

On my 9th attempt at doing a 3BLD solve, I finally got it! No edges solved and 1 corner solved. Memo is about 2-3 minutes and my execution is about 4 minutes. 10th attempt I completed it aswell, no edges and 2 corners and all edges were in a single cycle so it was a really easy memo, 2 minutes or so.

Now to get faster and learn all the correct sticker letters without having to think about it and not having to think about my memory at all.

10.52, (5.71), (DNF(6.86)), 10.93+, 7.66 = 9.70 2x2 BLD average of 5 PB

 

[Mollerz]

Congrats! First successes are awesome.

Thanks very much! Tried again 3 times tonight, 3 successes as well, getting consistency now and my execution is getting faster since I am learning the setup moves and the sticker letters faster.

 

[theace]

I got a new PB! 2:22.30 with Old Pochmann! I never thought I'd be able to get sub 3:50 with it! Memo was 57 sec

14/15 Multi-Bld in 1:46:29 (Memo: 1:20:09)

Second Scrambles of the Race to 15/15 multi-BLD Round 10

Time a lot over an hour, but it´s a good practice for Roman Rooms, Letter Pairs, Letters for Corners.
The second was the DNF, off by 6 edges (2 3-cycles).
I reconstructed the solve: 2 mistakes:
1st, my memo started with ANJG (ANanas in a JuG), I recalled it correct, but solved ANKG.
Then the next 4 letters were WCTA (WitCh in a TAnk), recalled it, said it in my brain, but solved only WC. All the other things went correct.

 

[iSolve]

Finally did a blind solve successfully. It took forever though. It took 10 minutes and 36 seconds or so.

 

[Rpotts]

iSolve, that's actually pretty cool, I don't of know of many people who are around 1 minute for 3x3 speed that can do BLD.

5/5 in 10:30 (6:00 memo). Sub-10 here i come .

4x4: 5:56 (2:55 memo). That beats my previous PB by over a minute! o_O
The scramble was:

I had 22 edge and 16 center targets. The corners were easy, though (only 5 targets + one disoriented).
