4BLD for Weekly Comp 34:

8:01.33[3:28], 7:38.13[3:17], DNF(6:14.45)[~3min]

The second one is PB, although it was kinda a slow solve.
The 3rd was so fast, but also very lucky. A lot of centers are solved. I only overlooked a 2-cycle of wings.
 
3:33 BLD personal best (3BLD)

AND holy shnap lolscramble
F2 D' R L' D' R U D2 R B L' U' B L' B R' D' B F D' F D2 B2 F2 R'

I don't get it - what's so special about that scramble? I got 1:37.81 on it.

Unless you're talking about using it for fewest moves - that scramble is one of the nicest looking fewest moves scrambles I've ever seen, at first glance. But for BLD, I don't see what's so special about it.
 
So I start practicing 3BLD for Hungarian Open 2011 and Austria Open 2011.

So I stop practicing BH for some weeks, I will be much faster with M2/OP (mixed with some BH corners).
But after the two comps I have a 3 month break until Austrian Nationals, so I will learning full BH in the autumn.

Anyway, I did 23 solves in the last hour.

number of times: 19/23
best time: 1:13.34
best avg5: 1:24.83 (σ = 6.90) (Old PB avg5: 1:28.36)
best avg12: 1:32.36 (σ = 4.06) (Old PB avg12: 1:40.90)

1:43.89, DNF(2:04.23), 1:30.42, 1:53.44, 1:30.14, 1:36.15, 1:13.34, 1:30.88, 1:32.35, 1:25.93, 1:29.65, 1:35.72, 1:31.16, 1:41.19, DNF(1:32.83), 1:39.54, DNF(1:24.49), 1:19.90, 1:18.30, 1:20.00, 2:03.21, 1:34.59, DNF(1:41.87)

so those solves are with M2/OP?

Yes, M2/OP, but also with some BH cases for corners.
Memo is now Letter Pairs for edges, Visual for corners.

edit:
Average of 5: 1:23.79

5. 1:27.34 B L B R D' U B U D2 R' D' F L F' L' F' U' D2 L2 U2 B2 U' F' B2 L

Strange, last session memorizing with letter pairs worked really good
This time it sucked, so I just swiched to visual and made this PB avg5. (best avg12 was 1:37.34, but with some slow Letter Pair ones.)

6x6x6 BLD
26:21.40 (15:50ish memo)

I think I remember this being Chris's current UWR at 6x6x6 BLD (from 6 months ago), which is why I'm excited about this, from this week's weekly competition:

6x6x6 BLD: 26:11.14 [13:11 memo]

The memo was really fast and easy. Execution was only difficult because my 6x6x6 has gotten really mushy and is way too easy to pop. I'm sure I could go at least a minute faster with a better 6x6x6. I do have another brand-new one that I've never restickered or broken in; maybe it's time to finally do that.

Chris, it took me 6 months, but maybe I've finally put pressure on you to try again? :)

Huh, you are right.. Maybe I scrambled wrong?
or posted wrong scramble...

The solve did feel really lucky, so time to get a NL PB

and you are right, it is a really nice FMC sramble!

Whoa Mike, awesome! Congrats! :tu :D

I have to be honest that I've focused mainly on 3x3-5x5 for a while, but I think I can definitely try to get back into BIG cubes BLD a little bit more. Congrats on your solve, that's very impressive!

:) Considering you got your previous UWR as a PB almost 10 minutes faster than your previous PB, I suspect it will take you no more than a few solves to beat this one, too. But it would be appreciated - it keeps me going. And I do think that if I can get a better cube, I can do a little better than this...
 
Um. I just got a 1:30.70 success. My old PB was 1:52.32. And I haven't practiced BLD at all recently.

The solve was such incredible lol.

I got the scramble from the "Cubing teams" thread.
