But doesn't your Y-perm twist centers?

Yup, I offset before and after.

dropped my cube while BLDing for the first time

What exactly do you mean by that?

7 corner targets -> U' to put centers how I memo'd them, execute centers, U, execute wings

= :tu

Dan explains how to do it

6th 5BLD attempt: DNF in 16:33. A huge mess.
Edit: 7th attempt: DNF in 19:44. Off by some centers.

 

[TheOneOnTheLeft]

3BLD 2:58 with two flipped edges. Would have been a PB by 27 seconds. On the other hand, I've been practising sighted corner comms and have been getting fairly successful at figuring out ones that work, even if they're not optimal.

 

[Iggy]

5BLD DNF in 15:52.42, off by 5 centers. Really easy scramble, I thought I would've had this one.

Edit: 5:34.79 4BLD DNF, off by 2 centers.

 

[Riley]

24.25, 27.78, 33.45, 36.23, DNF(28.22)

The 28 would have been a solve, but I forgot to undo ONE move. Then it would have been a 29.82 avg5. The 24.25 is a PB though.

 

[mande]

Multi: 2/9 in 38:05.96[22:16.65] = DNF

Apparently I've forgotten how to fix parity when I use OP
3 cubes were DNF because of a wrong parity fix. DNF's were: a 3 corner cycle, orientation messed up, fairly messed up, forgot corners. Fail.
Even the time wasn't upto my expectations. I'll probably practice 5 cubes some more till I get sub 15 (I hope I get there ultimately)

30:45.52 5BLD off by about 4 of each piece type. Not sure what happened...

When this happens I often suspect a single turn missed somewhere. That gives you a maximum of 4 + centers wrong, 4 X centers wrong, 4 middle edges wrong, 4 corners wrong, and 8 wings wrong.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I had wrong. I guess I missed a turn then.

It's funny how some very good attempts can look really awful. Even worse is when you misorient the puzzle in the middle of the solve. Which is why gigaminx is so overwhelmingly frustrating.

5BLD 24 minutes DNF by 6 +centers

ON VIDEO Not sure if I should upload. What do you think?

Wait for a success. Thats much better. If you upload it anyway, pleae dont upload it on the video gallery like some other people do, just post it here then. Thats much better because it is where it belongs.

Greetings, Dennis

I decided not to upload it, but the result can be see in my 4BLD success (the cube is in the background)

 

[Iggy]

39.68 3BLD DNF, did a corner cycle wrongly.

Edit: 38.58 DNF off by an edge cycle

 

[antoineccantin]

49.57 3BLD DNF because I did C instead of K :fp

Audio can be stupid sometimes...

Would have been my first sub-50 and PB by 8 seconds (and first sub-NR).

22 second memo if I remember correctly.

 

[AJ Blair]

First 4BLD Attempt:

Off by 11 wings.

Memo: 25:00
Execution: 6:12.83

Hmm...Not too bad I guess. Clearly all memo mistakes. I had 22 wings memorized, one solved...but something didn't go right...I probably should have recorded it so I could tell...
