Weird stuff. I know I was off by an M' somewhere, but iirc I also had a flipped edge (not flipped at the start), a twisted edge 3-cycle, a 5-cycle of corners (all oriented), 10 wing 2-cycles, and obviously I don't know the centre cycles. Corners and edges were both really easy though.

The 29.65 DNF was off by 3 edges, I did a letter pair wrong or something. At least I got a 32.06 avg5 PB with the first 5 solves. If the last solve wasn't a DNF, the average would have been 34.91.

First 4BLD in a while, 5th attempt ever:
weekly competition 2013-22, first scramble:
I thought it felt really easy. My memo felt great, I thought that this was going to be one of my closest 4bld solves even if I didn't solve it, though I was pretty sure I'd get it.
off by 5 centers, 16 wings, and 8 corners.
Blergh. Not even close.
29:18.73[17:55.17]

MegaBLD DNF by two edge 2cycles :fp. Don't know what happened so I'll blame execution.

7:56.05 4BLD DNF, off by 5 centers. Damn I suck so much at centers...
Edit: 6:08.87 DNF, off by a lot. :fp I think I messed up edge execution.
Edit 2: 7:05.49 DNF. :fp

Multi BLD: 3/3 22:51.15
The first fail was that when I memoed the edges on the 2nd cube, I skipped the first letter and started with "BC DE..." instead of "AB CD...", so I had to redo most of that memo. The 2nd fail was that I wasted AT LEAST 2-3 minutes recalling the first image of one of the cubes. I'm quite sure it could have been sub 18
The accomplishment was that I used one easy corner comm on each cube. One of them was F' [R U2 R';D'] F.

I was trying to get an average of 12 for 4BLD
I had done 10 attempts and 9 of them were successful, so I needed two more successes in a row for an average of 12
During the 11th attempt, I accidentally dropped my cube on the floor, and through it slipping out of my hands and my trying to frantically pick it back up, I had made a couple of turns. Resulting in a DNF :fp
Maybe I'll try another day.
