4BLD
DNF 24:49.94[13:40.81]

Off by five wings and an r2
I forgot the fifth-to-last wing, tried to remember it for about 5 minutes, guessed and got it wrong.
even if I hadn't I would have been off by the r2 tho.

It's a super easy scramble too:
U' L2 Rw2 R2 U2 L' R' B' D' L D' Rw2 U' B2 Fw D' F2 L Rw2 Fw2 Rw' Uw2 R' F R' U Rw R' Uw2 U B Fw F' Rw B2 Uw2 U2 Fw' F' Uw [z']

Weekly comp 4BLD scramble #2
 
I recently got decent in MBF (I didn't practice, just stopped failing for one attempt) and got 8/10 in 53^^
Then at my next comp I was like "Why not just do more?" (Answer would have been: bc you are ****).
I tried 12...Memo was pretty nice in about 45...And then....Execution...WTH did I do.
I got 3 or 4 Cubes (Not quite sure) and one of them was +2 (dafuq). I dnfed about 4 cubes bc I forgot how to do a Y-perm, then I forgot another 2 or 3 cubes completely or partially. And ofc I spend so much time on the forgotten cubes, that the time run out and I couldn't even finish my Execution (Woulnd't have solved the remaining cube anyway). Additionally I got some "normal" DNFs.




Next Time I'll try 14^^

*why no sub-50?*

Closest and fastest 5BLD attempt ever.
2 corners twisted+swapped
2 x-centers swapped
3 wings cycled
2 midges swapped

The cube looks practically solved

I did the <D L2 m2> alg, but forgot to do the <Rw2 F2 U2> alg. And because corners aren't solved, the midges ares still swapped instead of the wings.
 
26:29 5BLD DNF (second attempt).

Not as good as my previous try, off by 2 +centers, 8 xcenters, and 4 wings. The time is better though...
 
2-5 BLD relay, 2 attempts,

37min 24.12s and 37min 34.39s with 5BLD dnf and 4BLD dnf respectively

Edit: FYI, these are my first 2 attempts on this sort of relay

More pieces unsolved this time... I think I need to slow down.
