Gratz!

41.58 official 3x3 BLD NR. Easy scramble, but pretty surprised considering I haven't done any practice for a while except for 4BLD Will post video with scramble/reconstruction.

Wow! *_*
Also very, very nice scramble, only 4 corners, and only one edge cycle.
Congratulations!

I failed so hard at the events I practised alot (like 3BLD and 333) but surprisingly other unpraxtised events turned out well! Next time I must make sure I don't practise BLD.

The same with me. I practice 5BLD like crazy (around 100 solves before the comp) and then DNFed all 3 official ones. But in all the others events I did very well. Also in the events I didn't practiced at all.

=P obviously it's nerves. You know you're gonna have a decent/good result, so you get shaky. For the other events, you don't care about the result, so you're calm and stuff.

@Jakube; 100 5BLD solves?? o.O wow then you totally deserve a success more than I do

 

[cmhardw]

Yay

4:16.61 official 4BLD.

Congratulations Amos! Great job!

Amos, nice one!
The 4BLD has really surprised me because I wasn't aware that you were practising it.

@drewsopchak: My edges are structured (letter pair images), but I find that my corner memo (audio pairs) isn't very structured because all I'm doing is pairing 2 letters and adding a vowel (if needed) to create single syllable sounds.

Yeah, nice one, Amos. . I was memoing centers before he started, and I was still memoing centers when he donned the blindfold and started executing so fast. By the way, Zane, do you use the journey method even for 3BLD?

 

[Zane_C]

By the way, Zane, do you use the journey method even for 3BLD?

Yes, I memorise the edges for regular 3BLD exactly how I memorise for multi BLD. That is, interact 2 letter pair images and place them at a location along a route.

But how on Earth do you have time for that in 7 seconds? Beats me...

Heh. Just curious, Marcell, what memo method do you use then, seeing as you are super consistent?

 

[Marcell]

I form a sentence from my letter pair words for edges and just say the letter pairs for corners. It all goes to my auditory loop. I wouldn't say I'm "super consistent" though.

Just succeeded 2x2x2 BLD in 4:29.74. Nothing overly impressive, but it was my first try. I used T-Perm for all the corner swapping.

7x7x7 BLD: 37:21.20 [20:21]

Wow, that was nice - a new PB by over 3:30! For the weekly competition. It's funny, I had forgotten what my old PB was, and I thought it was much faster than 40 minutes, so I was hurrying to try to beat it. Then I looked it up and realized my PB was still over 41 minutes before this.

^Congrats... I'm in awe atm. Do you use something similar to Pochmann or is it the normal 7x7x7 method?

I'm too slow to be able to execute a 7x7x7 solve in 17 minutes solving one piece at a time, Pochmann-style. I use mostly BH - optimal commutators solving two pieces at a time.

Wow, sub-40. Congrats Mike!

Awesome, one step closer to 3x3 BLD.
