7/9 in 43:10.97[28:33] for the weekly comp

Last four attempts before this:
5/7 in 50 (official)
5/7 in 37
5/7 in 39
5/7 in 35 (official)

I guess I finally beat my PB of 4/4 in 18.
Mistakes are usually an extra/missing turn somewhere (4e,4c) or memorizing the wrong corner letters on twisted corners.

9/13 in 58:52.28[36:26.19]. 3 cubes were off by 3 edges, and one by a D2 and 5 edges. Really annoying!

10/13 In 52 mins. Why can't I surpasse 7 points!?!?

1/9 in 59. I'm gonna try it again soon.

 

[Torch]

10/13 in 58:58.16[38:19.72]. The mistakes were:
2 cubes off by 3 edges
1 cube off by 2 flipped edges

Memo was worse than yesterday but execution was better. My PB is still 8/9 in 52:38.

Cant watch it due to copyrights.

Same.

Should work now!

Dang that sucks. Would you have gotten 13/13 had you not screwed that up?

So would've been 11/13?

At least you have learnt not to do that again.

I think it's a good idea to keep your cubes in order in case you need to go back to one anyway.
I've never understood the just chucking them to one side but I am dealing with numbers which don't take up too much space.

I can't see a reason to keep them in order really. Just make sure that you keep finished cubes clearly separated from unfinished ones.

Chucking them to one side is ok because
1. It saves time
2. If you recall all of the letters for one cube while executing there really is no reason to go back at it. And if you don't you can just place it somewhere waiting for you to come back to it in the end (if you still have time...)

So you CAN come back to those cubes that you were hesitant with but you don't waste time carefully placing all cubes in their right places with right orientation

I have had one instance of going back to a specific cube to do the final 2 targets.

The same pair came up later in the memo and I realised I hadn't performed it previously.

Yep. That kind of is my point. One instance every now and then when it saves you 1 cube isn't worth wasting time every single attempt

 

[~Adam~]

How much time is really wasted by placing them down carefully? 1 second per cube for piece of mind?

Edit - I realise you are pushing the boundaries of what you are capable of and I'm unlikely to get within a couple of mins of the time limit because I like not having pressure on my comp performance.

Yep. For me wasting even 2s/cube currently means that I might well go over the time limit

More on topic: PB!!!
24/25 @ 59:14.30[40:30.25] (2s more/cube here would make it 23/25 in 1:00:00 so kind of related to our discussion also... )

DNF was some kind of an execution mistake (4e and 4c...)

GJ! Your execution is very fast! Full 3style?

Yep. Has been full 3style for 2 years now I think. Of course it has evolved from easy to understand to more speed optimal cycles along the way though

I'm not at the level as others in this thread, but anyway, I just attempted 4 cubes for the first time. 2/4 in 26:17, 1 cube was off by 3 corners, the other by just 1 twisted corner. I used to think 3 cubes was my limit, so I'm pleased with that attempt.

Woohoo, 2/2 in 8:21.143, took 10 minutes off my previous pb
