(4BLD) memo was just under 4 minutes, which is about usual for me,

Do you review your memo for 4BLD?

Do you review your memo for 4BLD?

Yeah, my memo goes:

5 centre pairs, Review those 5, 5 more pairs, review those, review all centres so far, finish centre memo, review all a couple of times, do corner memo, review corner memo, review centre memo, review corner memo, 5 pairs of wing memo, review those 5, 5 more, review those 5, 5 more, review those 5, finish wing memo, review the last few pairs, review wings, start execution. I don't normally do a full review at the end, but I do many mini reviews during the memo process.

Yeah, my memo goes: etc

Mine's similar, I also do groups of 5 for wings and corners. My centres are slowest because if I don't take care and review carefully, I hit the same target twice. My memo is about 6 minutes and centres must be more than half of that.

Do you just shoot to whichever target makes the best letter pair or do you go in a particular order round the centres? Centres are usually about 1:10 for me, corners about 30 and then wings take up the rest.

I go clockwise but leaving the U face pieces until last. I use audio so no worries about bad pairs.

First (and only) official 3BLD attempt: 8:58 DNF, off by 4 edges.
Still pretty good for me When a DNF is good ;-;

I became inspired and decided to spend the day learning 5-BLD.... (in reply to hssaavich)

Your brain doesn't have the capacity for 4BLD, so you learned 5BLD?

What else do you do when you have a spare 3 hours?

18:31.17 (12:00) 5BLD DNF off by 5 midges :/ but plus it is my fastest attempt by 20 seconds to date

 

[bryson azzopard]

So was doing a 7bld first time in over a year and 3rd ever. Memo was finished at 1:04. Was happy with that. After 6 minutes into execution stupid right oblique and outer + centre swap and jam up and i have to stop. Super annoying -_-

It is a failure but it is not!

My first 4BLD attempt, off by 7 or 5 letter targets (not sure because I have solved and scrambled the cube again and can't recall), and by corner parity which wasn't meant to be done, lol.

So it's not bad at all!

And also, I had to talk to someone to stop talking to me, because they were making it harder for me to focus.

Time, approximately 30-40 minutes.

Not bad at all! A few pieces is impressive for a first attempt, my first one was about half the cube off! The time is good also. I recommend doing daily 4BLDs to help accuracy and speed and you will find that you will have to put in less effort each time. Good luck on getting a success soon!

Thank you!

I don't want to attempt another solve until I'm sure that nobody will bother me for at least half an hour

19:48 [12:55] 5bld dnf because I forgot to do wing parity, 4 eings unsolved... still a decent attempt for not having practised

nice attempt, even though it was a really close dnf. Still shows that I aleast know how to solve a 5x5 bld xD

You've got to be kidding me. I was going to do a sighted solve, then I saw this scramble (really only the yellow blue and yellow green) and I decided to do a legit attempt. Off by three corners, because I did a target out of order (recall mistake). I got edges done with M2 (I think that's my second edges succes with M2 in a legit attempt.) I haven't been doing bld as consistently as I had been, so I'm not as good as I was (well, more like I'm worse that I was) but it's been 13 attempts without a success. I don't know what my issue is either! Maybe I should do some sighted solves, or maybe do edges and corners separate?

It all helps.

Tried my first 2-5 relay and this happened:
