The answer is simple: I don't have more cubes with me.

No kidding? So you also did the 24/24 with borrowed cubes and without practicing at home? Oh God, please anybody send cubes for this awesome man. :fp

lol, no need to send me cubes. I own about 20 cubes at the moment, but i'm currently not at home.
And i did own all 24 cubes, but sold 10 of them to Dennis and gave about 3-4 away. And a week ago my hero Kai sent me 10 brand-new cubes :).

I'll stay your hero runner up for a while:

14/16 in 57 minutes (38 minutes memo). Crap!

You're getting close!

I had 5/11 last night when I ran out of time at 60 minutes. :( My memorization wasn't solid enough. 36 minutes memo. I've made so little progress this year that I'm wondering if I can ever get to where you are. I need to find a big breakthrough.
 
:fp Epic failure on my birthday. :fp

4x4x4 BLD: 13:41.69 (05:47.19) DNF
Off by 2 centers. In the end I had to swap S-X (Mike lettering scheme), then I did x2 d l d' L2 d l' d' L2 x2 and not L' to interchange, thus I swapped T-X. :fp This could be my new PB.

But this day is still long, I have to try again!

Happy Birthday, Wicaksono!
I wish you a great year, full of many BLD records! :)
 
I had a funny DNF yesterday: off by the 4 top corners cycled CCW and same for the 4 bottom corners. That made a nice pattern :) (although it would have been cooler if one of the cycles had been CW)
It happened because I did the parity fix on the wrong layer. (My alg 4-cycles the corners and swaps LU and LD edges)

5:25 3x3 blindfold fail after eating a habenero pepper. As of right now, I'm not sure if I'll try to perform this again.

Those things are painful. I had these atomic wings (which somehow I finished) made with habenero and it was crazy I drank 5 full glasses of milk. Do it again that'd be sweet to see a video of too, but then again I don't want to put you through that pain again. lol

I definitely don't have the energy to do it today, I'll try again this weekend given that I feel better by then haha. :D
 
4x4x4 BLD average of 3
1. 14:07.40 (06:11.43) DNF, off by 2 centers
2. 15:35.15 (06:08.93) DNF, off by 3 edges
3. 15:34.64 (06:32.59) DNF, off by 5 centers :fp

Obviously nothing to be proud of. But I guess 15 minutes is pretty much my average right now, so does the 6 minutes memorization. Well, let's just practice more.
 
4x4x4 BLD: 14:42.20(7:03.82)

First attempt in more than a year: Successful :) But it was a FAIL time :mad:
 
multi BLD at Worlds: 2/5, time was 51:42(I know it's over 50min, but it is a DNF so id doesnt matter)
1st cube: 2 flipped edges
2nd cube: 2 flipped edges
3rd cube: off by 4 edges, forgot the memo and did something wrong
4th cube: solved!
5th cube: solved!

I wont try 5 cubes on Hungarian Open I think, but its not 100% sure.
