Goal: 7x7 BLD success
Deadline: June 1st, 2013

I've spent too long being a pubescent BLDer. It's time to man up. No more of this 5BLD baby stuff. I'm going to get a successful 7x7 BLD solve by my 21st birthday (June 1st). Let's do this.

Progress:

Spoiler

March
20: Experimented solving obliques with U2 method.
21: Sighted walk-through solves
22: Obliques-only BLD attempt. Success in 28:12.36. This took a while, but I had to get used to grabbing the right layer when doing turns.

April
4: Obliques-only BLD attempt. Success in 21:45.54 Wow, based off my time for only obliques, my overall time is going to take quite a while. Hopefully x and + centers won't be too bad since I am familiar with solving those.

May
2: a) Did some oblique sighted solving practice.

b) [47:30 memo, 1:28:09 total, 2 ox, 2 o+, 4 i+, 13 iw, 14 ow, 7 m, 8 c]

First ever attempt. I was only off by 8 centers which is nice. I don't know what happened with the edges or corners. My memo seemed fairly solid.

4: [47:47 memo, 1:28:14 total, 4 lob, 7 rob, 11 ox, 8 o+, 4 ix, 3i+, 8 iw, 10 ow, 4 m, 4 c]

Second attempt. My memo seemed solid. I feel like my mistakes are most likely from execution.

7: [49:20 memo, 1:26:43 total, 6 lob, 7 lob, 13 ix, 13 i+, 2 ox, 8 o+, 8 iw, 4 midges]

Third attempt. So many execution mistakes.

8: [42:20 memo, 1:16:53 total]

Fourth attempt. I had too many mistakes to count. I knew I had made an execution mistake at my third location. I tried to correct it, but I don't think I was right.

11: [43:15 memo, 1:18:38 total, 2 lob, 2 rob, 4 ix, 6i+, 4 iw]

Fifth attempt. Only off by 18 pieces this time! Best yet. I had 2 side opposite 1x5 bars wrong.

12: [43:00 memo, 1:18:41 total, 4 lob, 4 rob, 8 ox, 6 o+, 4 ow]

Sixth attempt. I had 4 1x5 bar centers messed up on opposite sides. I must have screwed up when shooting to Ul outer wing because the other wings that were wrong succeeded that in my memo. Other than that, I had 2 o+ centers I must have memo'd wrong or something.

13: Success!!! 1:22:38.50 total time with a memo time of [46:20] It had a pop which I was luckily able to fix. Video here

[Key for mistakes: lob - left obliques, rob - right obliques, ox - outer x-centers, o+ - outer plus centers, ix - inner x-centers, i+ - inner plus centers, iw - inner wings, ow - outer wings, m - middle egdes, c - corners]

Success on May 13th, 2013 on my 7th Attempt! 1:22:38.50 with a memo time of 46:20 (video)
