Nice job, Chris!

I should practice some BLD for Nationals..

Thanks Stachu! Congrats on your new mod status too btw!

Bah at this rate you'll win the sub50 race Chris! Starting Sunday I'll be doing major BLD practice to prepare for Nats. I'm terribly out of shape.

Get back to work...shame on you being on speedsolving at work

I like how it's over 3 TPS, including memo as solving

93 / 32.18 = ~2.89, not over 3. It's still incredible though, Zane!

 

[kinch2002]

I don't think I posted here earlier, so I shall post now, that I got a couple of sub WR 4blds success 3:2x for both of them. All set for tomorrow!

Nice results..

Heh, bodes well for the weekend!

 

[cmhardw]

9:50 DNF (for parity I did a L instead of a L2)
The memo was aprox 3 minutes. (Inventing words)
...
DNF but an accomplishment none the less

Awesome sauce! Don't worry about the DNF, any practice is good practice in BLD! The solve was very close, which is a good thing!

I spent a good 4-5 minutes trying to figure out one of the comms.
URB>FLD>BUL
Ended up doing one move setup then doing 3 sexy D 3 sexy...

That is a difficult case to get used to recognizing in my opinion.
Hint: It's a columns case (so 11 turns optimal)

My bad, my thought process was 90/30=3 then I was like, 'but it's not 90, it's 93!' forgetting the time wasn't 30.

This really belongs in the failures, even though I've had 5/7 successes, but I've been really struggling with D2, and I keep making dumb mistakes. But, then I switched back to old pochmann corners, M2 edges, I got a 1:21 success. iirc my pb was 1:37, so wow. My new memo system really is working. With my old system I would've DNF'd as the letter pairs were horrible.
I want to get a sub 2 at ausnats

Edit: 1:18

What's your new system that doesn't utilize letter pairs?

 

[Tim Major]

What's your new system that doesn't utilize letter pairs?

If I get a bad pair like QW,I just use a random word to fit into the current sequence. I improve my pairs to fit into the story better, I used VQ as viciously in a recent solve as it fit the story. I also spend more time making good letter pairs, so I don't need to refresh as much.

 

[RyanReese09]

Justin, for that case, you could have done (note, too lazy to see if you need the interchange first, or the insertion)

I estimate memo was about 9 (I rememorized a few minutes later) so TPS ~~~= 5.3 (would be even faster if my memo was slower, which it probably was)

Hint: It's a columns case (so 11 turns optimal)

I love columns cases. I think I must have written It wrong, I think it might have been some weird 9 mover that I just couldn't find a cancellation anywhere

Justin, for that case, you could have done (note, too lazy to see if you need the interchange first, or the insertion)

Ohya, And a BUNCH more attempts last night (all night long :rolleyes
Changing buffers, and doing a FINALLY better system of parity.
Corners are :tu
And edges are getting more consistant.

Just did my Second ever 3BLD!!!!! I was soooo happy, then I realised I didnt time it

15/18 MBLD, 1:29.27 (59:51)

Parents are quite annoying.

3rd cube off by 4 edges, 1 flipped in there. And 3 corners
9th cube is basically scrambled. Little solved.
14th cube is a 3 cycle corners.
