33/35 1:00:03.81[38:09.50]

Rip. 3-4 seconds faster and it would be overall PB.
PB for execution/cube anyway, so that's nice.

Was the last cube you executed one of the two DNFs?

Nope, so it was 32/35 in 60:00

wow nicely done! I too once missed a similar pb by 6 sec over the hour

 

[Scruggsy13]

12/12 in 43:45, added another cube and beat yesterday's time by about 40 seconds. Awesome.

55:13[31:04] pb by 22 seconds!

 

[Jacck]

Couldn't decide which size to take, so I made a

relay 2-5:
4/4 47:34,06 (29:55 memo)
pb by more than 5 min (ok, last attempt was a year ago)

21/22 MBLD in 1hr 1min 52.35s and 1hr 2min 13.53s today and yesterday respectively

Both off by a flipped edge

 

[kake123]

11/11 MBLD in 23min 48.03s, getting closer to 22min...

 

[YouCubing]

3/5 in 18:10
exec mistake on first cube, 4th off by 3 edges
not really good points but insane speed, for reference my first ever 4/4 was 17:10, just a minute under
fun fact about the attempt, none of the cubes had parity 1/32 chance of that happening I think
all memos were ridiculously easy, I use audio and my letter pairs basically made themselves into sentences for me

 

[kake123]

3/3 MBLD in 3min 50.958s, yay sub4

 

[newtonbase]

I was pleased with 1/3 MBLD in 13:38. Starting to use rooms properly so hoping to get 3 points soon. Silly errors but recall was perfect.

 

[kake123]

21/22 MBLD in 1hr 57.29s, forgot a flipped edge

How do you memo your edges?

 

[kake123]

How do you memo your edges?

You mean flipped edges?

I use letter pairs, but since I solve them after solving everything, memo is towards the end

Flipped edge example: AQ = Aquarium VO= Volume LF= Laughter

I use mostly the same images, etc, so it's quite bad.

Yes, I meant flipped edges. I've been using double letters so D is DAD, N is NUN etc but I've only used audio so it's easier. I need proper images now that I'm moving into MBLD.

Got my first 3/3 today. I didn't start the timer but was around 15 mins.
Any suggestions as to what I might be able to do in an hour with a bit more practice? Execution is around 1:15 and is where I make most of my errors.

In my experience, it's easier to save time in memo rather than execution. So if you're mostly making mistakes in execution, you could try memorizing faster. My goal every attempt is to memorize quickly and then review frequently. So I don't dwell too long on one cube if it's really difficult to memorize since I'll be coming back to it several times.

As for how many cubes you can do, at this point I think it's hard to say. My only 3/3 was 17:42 in April of last year, and now I'm attempting upwards of 13. I'm not world class, but in my opinion until you hit the hour time limit you're only really limited by how much information you can memorize. From there then speed really becomes more relevant. If I had to guess, I'd say ten doesn't seem all that far-fetched.

I average 4ish on 3BLD
My best on 3/3 was just over 20m
My largest n/n was 5/5 in 45m
My largest sub-h attempt was 5/6 in 59m[45h ish]
My largest attempt was 6/7 in 1:20h[1h]

I would guess that you could do 9 comfortably.

I did make my best progress in 3BLD by pushing memo but I use audio edges for that so moving to full images is quite a change.

The more input the better. I'm a little quicker than you at 3BLD so it's good to know you can manage 6 which I think is a realistic goal for this year given my limited practice time.

Thanks both.
