fastest attempt by almost a minute, of course i'd fail such an easy scramble
 
12/17 53:52 (39:54): edge 3-cyc, corner 3-cyc, 2 corners, extra/missing turn somewhere, forgot how to parity. Still feel kinda good about it, since I changed my review system a little and recall felt quite comfortable with the same memo effort - sub-50 exec average is pretty good for me.

Completely messed up the FIRST CUBE. Another one I had odd corner targets but even edge targets in my memo, turned out there was also an edge flip. Then 3 corners.

Also quite displeased with the time.

EDIT: More failure. Got my 2nd best ever 4BLD memo [2:21.78] and popped during centers.

3 corners from my first BLD solve :(

Sequence ended, and I thought it was done, especially since the final move of the sequence correctly oriented the buffer corner. Oh well, it's the first time I've managed to get the edges correct (switched to Audio, which I think helped me focus more on execution of M2 edges). I'll get it tomorrow and switch to the accomplishment thread :)
 
Today I wanted to get a better idea of how many cubes to attempt at WGC in just over a week.

15/19 59:54 (44:08), edge 3-cyc, corner 3-cyc + 2 edges I forgot to flip, extra/missed turn somewhere, and L2 away from 6 twisted corners (?!?). Ties my PB by points, a sad reminder of how poor my PB still is :s.

I'll not be trying 19 cubes, I think 17 is safer.
 
I haven't BLD'd in 3 years and I decide to try it today to practice for a competition Saturday.


I went terrible. I had to re-learn my positions and I was averaging 2:30 with lots of DNFs. I use to be 1:40's! My fault for procrastinating,
