doesnt matter, same happened to me and now im NR 1:02

7BLD for weekly comp 28:

DNF(1:10:05.37)[36:09]

-Probably about 2/3 of the centers are solved.
-Everything on the outer layers (midges, wings, corners) are completely scrambled.

I'm not sure what I did wrong:
About 5 or so minutes into execution, my mind was wondering and I wasn't paying much attention, I finished an inner +center comm and I couldn't remember if I undid the set-up move!
So I decided to leave it, and just hope that I undid the set-up move.
When I saw the unsolved cube, I instantly thought back to this commutator, I watched the video back and discovered that I executed the comm correctly and undid the set-up move. I think I'll be able to discover what I did wrong by watching the entire video, but I can't be bothered.

A positive:
Memo and execution flowed so much better than last week's attempt. The problem I had last time with the obliques, was caused by me getting confused over which letter scheme I assigned to the obliques (wings or midges).
When I started big cubes BLD it didn't occur to me that wings could have the same lettering scheme as edges on a 3x3, so last week I changed my scheme so the wing and midge letters match. Thus, eliminating the old oblique problem.

4BLD dnf 40:19. Off by alot of centres but everything else is solved. Memo took forevvvvveeeeeerrrr.
EDIT: Will not be trying this again until I have fully memorised every letter pair image. Also congrats zane for just attempting 7bld.

Not my failure, but my dad's.

He has attempted his first full attempts tonight, 0/3 with the closest being off by just 2 flipped edges.
He's using visual memo and T-perm to execute the entire cube lol, he doesn't want to learn any other algs or a lettering scheme. I think the attempts are around 20 mins.

@ Pappas: Nice to see you doing 4BLD again.

T perm for corners? Seems tedious for setup moves. It's awesome that you're teaching him. I've wanted to teach a friend or family member but none have shown enough interest yet.

Yeah the set up moves are tedious, 2 of the 3 DNFs were actually from stuffing up corner set up moves. I told him y-perm will be really easy, but he doesn't want to learn it because "it has too many moves."

 

[riffz]

Haha, it's been so long since I started that I forget how daunting long algorithms were to memorize at first.

If he blames age as a hindering factor for learning algs for bld you may use me as a batting argument . On the other hand I also started with Classic Pochmann with 2 J and a T-alg. That was all.

‎5BLD: 24:31 DNF with 3 wings wrong! Darn. But the time is improving as I had about 26 wing targets. Hopefully I will have the time this summer to do an attempt everyday

Sub-20 is a nice goal to reach

On a side note: How do you treat inner and outer wing-parity on the 777? Do you solve both sets first and THEN do parity on 0/1/2 or can you do them straight away? I am unsure if they will cause any conflict to eachother. Sorry if this should be obvious, I just do not want to do an attempt and go DO´OH! in the end.

Darn, 3 wings is so close! But as you mentioned, your improvement rate is a big positive.

I'm by no means a good 7BLDer, but I solve the centers, then after each set of wings I'll do the parity.
-Solve outer wings, then do parity alg if necessary.
-Solve inner wings, then do parity alg if necessary. (Normal parity alg except turn inner slices)

 

[MrMoney]

Thanks Zane, you are a big inspiration-source I truly love 5BLD while 4BLD stresses me out. 4BLD has become "easy" in the sense that it requires so little memo and I just rush it like a 3BLD resulting in a 35% sucessrate 5BLD is slow and steady

I do the same. I don't do this for 5BLD (I probably should, but I don't - I save them for last), but on 7BLD I do this.

Is not hard for me to get a sub 40 avg but I dont know, while recording...

 

[Rubiks560]

1/2 multi blind. Second cube was off by two twisted corners

 

[Cool Frog]

2 attempts today, First was off by a cycle, (when I started edges) corners where all correct though.
Second was way off because I messed up the Edge comm like halfway through

 

[jorgeskm]

Lucas, you are improving very fast. I remember when you learnt BLD 7 month ago.
And you do times about 40 seconds now.

1:36 dnf by two flipped edges . memo was 4x.would have beat my pb by half a minute
and a 2:08 dnf with three solved edges

 

[chardison1980]

GRRR i am constantly having problems with 3x3x3 bld, using pochman, just working on edges, the corners are pre-set, mind you i just started to get into bld solving this past weekend with small successes like only having between 4 and 8 edges to work with but when i bump it up to all the edges i get lost and the cube never gets solved.
i do write my letters in the order they need to shoot to, so i can try to memorize them, usually in batches of 4 or 5, ill get to the end of a string peek to see everything is going good and on the long solves with all the edges i get lost bad.
any helpful hints thoughts or anything else to help.
i am also putting in 5-8+ hrs a day working on this.

 

[Zane_C]

Noooooooo, 7BLD DNF(1:08:19.80)

Memo was around 36 minutes, I couldn't resist watching the video to see where I went wrong, off by:

- 8 5x1 center bars.
- 4 midges
- 4 inner wings.

While executing an inner wing comm, I turned the M slice instead of the inner r slice. :fp
Thus, when I did the wing and midge/corner parity algs, center bars were distorted.

This mistake occurred around 3 minutes before stopping the timer, everything else was solved and all I had left were some inner wings and the corners.

 

[lucarubik]

sweet Zane!
hopefully when you get succes it will be sub1 hour
