14:54 5x5x5 bld dnf. Off by 3 centers. Memo was 6:30. It was my 231290102412th dnf in a row, i think i'll just give up...

Tim, you're funny. At least you're now getting potential WR times (well, WR until Ville hits one, anyway). :) It's still true that your execution speed could improve a lot. It seems like you really might have the potential to be as fast as Ville.
 
Yeah, my execution sucks. And that's also the part where i make all of my mistakes. I haven't had a single memo mistake for ages.

That looks so horrible:

At least my memo is "decent".
 
3.45.32 Clock BLD solve. (My 6th attempt.) DNF

It was only off by one edge clock, which I memorized -1 and executed +1.

1/7 accuracy is bad.
 
5x5 bld dnf 22 min (7:15 memo).

I executed half of my +-centers 4 times and got it right in the end! :). But unfortunately i forgot to execute one edge piece. So it was just another dnf...

Maybe i should stop complaining and start getting some successful solves.
 
First 4x4BLD attempt DNF, It would have been so cool to get is successful. the time was 29:42 and I was of by 2 edges and 9 centers, quite promising. Memo time was ~22 mins (I think) and execution ~8. Hope to get a successful one soon!

I like the comment on the last solve there... >.<

Maybe it's German for "That was almost a nice solve!"

Or maybe it's English for [sarcasm]"Great!"[/sarcasm]
 
Noo, my first proper (timed) attempt at 4x4x4 bld. I didn't expect a success, but I didn't expect it to take this long and be this wrong :P Used scramble one of this week's 4x4x4 BLD.

51:18.00 DNF - 5 centres, 14 edges, 4 corners off

EDIT: Tried again with no addition memo, this time it was 4 centres, 7 edges, 5 corners off :P

Nope, it's not the german word "fast" ;).
 
I'd like to see most of those comments actually, they look VERY intriguing :p

edit: Now that i look even closer apparently the timer program has somewhat of an attraction to Tim? (add Tim :p)

I am on a 12-14 streak of 3x3 BLD DNFs. and everytime they are off by either a 3-cycle of edges, 2/4 misoriented edges, or a combination of both. Corners are always correct. Its annoying more than anything...

Edit: 4 more last night. on one of them I messed up during corner exec, but managed to fix everything except for an S move. I was off by the S slice centers and the 4 edges that were originally contained in the S slice. it was a PB by 30 seconds too.
