That was insane Roman! Did you just put the wrong wing back, hence the DNF?

yep

What is wrong with you, 1:26 memo? That's like in another universe. How often do you review? Also I would have DNFed after the Pop, GJ at continuing haha

I was also surprised by sub-1:30. It's long to explain how and when do I review; I will probably make a video about it someday.

Scramble was begging for me to get a PB so I rushed the memo, paused too much on recall and then realised I'd memo'd a wrong letter after I'd finished. Chance missed.
 
DNF(2:35) F' L F2 Fw D2 Uw2 R Rw2 F Fw U F Uw U' R D' Uw' F2 Fw' Uw2 F D2 Fw2 D U' Rw' L2 U Rw' U' B' Fw' Rw' F2 U2 L F2 Fw2 Uw' L2

dnf by 3 centers as missed a letter pair :p would have been PB by 15 seconds.

memo was 54 which is first sub 1 ever! :D
 
Official mean of 3:
33.65, 33.06, 2:15.35 = 1:07.35
cubecomps

I needed a 38.32 in the last solve to break my own NR mean (35.02).
In the last solve, I spent like 1:40 trying to recall my last 3 targets, which were LS L with parity (speffz).
What confused me was the DR piece, which I didn't know (or simply forgot) was already solved in the scramble.
I probably should have DNF'ed lol

I think both dnfs were memo failures realised during exec but it still kinda sucks

Suuuper pissed...
1:16.75 DNF, would have been 3BLD pb by ~15 seconds.
32sec memo, 44sec exec, felt real fast, finished the solve and I had a z-perm.
I have literally no clue how that happened, it was either a bizarre memo screwup or possibly execution :(
 
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh 3BLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Practicing for Hayward Rubik's Rumble (though I really don't have time to, I'm being stupid and biting the bullet on homework lol), got 3 DNFs in a row, each one off by 2 twisted corners. One I didn't notice in memo, one I forgot to fix, and one I rotated the wrong way.
Would have made a 1:07 PB mo3 :(

pb ao12 but I dnfed 2 of the next 3 solves, narrowly missing the sub 30 ao12 D:
 
DNF (4:05.76[3:06.15]) D' R2 U' L2 D' B2 F2 U' F2 D L' B R' D' U2 B' L2 R F2 Fw Uw2

Yellow top blue front, the S-slice has a simple roux lse 3cycle + 2 edges flipped. Memoing them would take a long time, and I knew if I just figured out how to solve them, it would be faster; so I did. It worked too, and I executed the rest of the solve really quickly, but MISSED THE FLIPPED EDGE IN UF
It would have been
3rd sub5, second sub1 exec, pb by like 40 sec
 
practice right before rubik's rumble

26.42, 33.66, 29.00,DNF(51.82),DNF(24.54)
last solve off by 4 edges

pls kill me ;_;

DNFed on the easiest scramble ever, would have been PB by 11 seconds. I felt myself do an R instead of an R2 during edges but I wasn't sure.

45.18[17.39] D B2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R' B2 R' B2 D2 F L D2 U' F' R' B2 F'
10/4+corner twist
 
A sad email to me from the WCA:

I'm sorry to say that your 3x3 blindfolded results from Dixon Fall will be changed to 6:34.22, DNF, DNS.

This is because the time of your second solve (9:16) exceeds the 15 minute combined time limit that we had in place. Since we enforced this on everyone else it would be unfair to let this mistake stand in the results, I hope you understand.


It's sort of weird that neither I or my judge realized that 6:30+9:15 isn't <15:00.
At least my 6 was before my 9.

2 easy scrambles followed by 3 abysmal ones. wut do I even feel

Not to mention I paused in the memo of both 21s so they could've easily both been a second faster.
