My 10 multi cubes arrived [p-today! They're beautiful!
Will do an outrageously enormous attempt before the end of the weekend.

k
so I now have 17 good, mostly-broken-in 3x3s, 1 bad-rubik's-brand-but-I-used-WD-40-so-it's-not-that-bad-3x3, and my brother has 2 cubes that he's willing to part with for a couple hours tomorrow.
yeeee 20 cube attempt
lel previous largest was 6/7 in 1:20ish

Let's see if I can sub-4h
probably not
Goodbye entire saturday afternoon

 

[guysensei1]

Am I the only one who does a lot better in MBLD officially than at home? I had a 9/10 in ~51 mins which beats my previous 10 cube PB (also official) by more than 3 minutes.

Recently I had a 10/11 official in 54 minutes, when at home i usually get 56 minutes or so.

Anyone else?

 

[guysensei1]

YAY PB 11/11 in 53:27!!!

memo: 39:30, 2:35 per cube
exec: 13:57, 1:16 per cube

Really good considering the memo for the first 6 cubes was slower than usual. I guess I subconsciously sped up the memo for the rest of the cubes. Exec was good. Recalled everything within reasonable time. 7/11 of the cubes had twisted corners, ugh, at least it's good to know my system for remembering these works.

I will dig out a functional 3x3 tomorrow(technically later today... it's past midnight!)/monday and try 12.

at least it's good to know my system for remembering these works.

Well done. What system is that?

 

[guysensei1]

Well done. What system is that?

Memo the letters where the white or yellow stickers are. Since I only have a small pack of cubes, I can just imagine which cubes have twisted corners and which letter(s) they are. I sort of 'touch' the cubes and say the letter(s) across the pack and thats my system. I have no idea if this is actually good or not but hey it works.

It's an interesting system. I can see it working for me on 3BLD but not sure about MBLD.

So, like, I really failed my 20 cube attempt.

I really only had trouble with four cubes during execution: cubes 5, 6, 7 and 20. 5 and 6 I couldn't figure out how to start, 7 I couldn't remember corners, and 20 I couldn't remember how to start edges.

So I think I'ma stick to max 10 cube attempts for a while.

Pretty disappointed with my performance, though I'm not sure if it was my memo or execution that was wrong.

E: Also, I'm not sure whats happening with the BB code, but it keeps glitching out another spoiler tag

Am I the only one who does a lot better in MBLD officially than at home? I had a 9/10 in ~51 mins which beats my previous 10 cube PB (also official) by more than 3 minutes.

Anyone else?

Same. My home pb was 3/4 or 4/6, at a comp I got 5/6 two times (one of them faster than my 4/6). No idea why that is though.

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

Why do I suck at Multi?

4/11 in 41:00.

I remembered everything, most of these should be execution mistakes, which are very preventable. I really shouldn't do comms in Multi, not yet...

Tons of wrong edges, I don't know why. I will try again next week, my PB is still really bad.

 

[Jugurtha]

I remembered everything, most of these should be execution mistakes, which are very preventable. I really shouldn't do comms in Multi, not yet...

I think that instead you really should use comms for multi (for both edges and corners), this will bring you so much confidence in your comms if you practice them regularly with different cubes. Just don't rush as much as you would on a single BLD solve.

Last WE in Lyon (France), 11/16 in 57:xx, huge NR fail. I thought I was at 14 cubes, but forgot to execute a 2flip on the front (first memoed cube) and did a twisting alg backwards instead of forward. Finally my lastly memoed cube (with standard 3BLD) was a complete mess...
Probably my biggest upset at this comp (along with the fairly standard triple DNF in 4BLD).

 

[kake123]

23/25 MBLD in 1hr 6min 27.90s

Execution mess ups and mistakes for the wrong cubes.

Finally 40min-ish memo

 

[kake123]

24/25 MBLD in 1hr 5min 45.11s

Could have been 1hr 4min without the pause

 

[guysensei1]

7/7 mbld in 26:50

Only because i havent done 7/7 before. I hope my 11 cube official attempt this weekend goes well.

 

[newtonbase]

2nd attempt and 1st success at 5 cubes. Took it very slowly and did a full extra review after thinking I had it that found a memo error. Just under 40 mins. Was going for 6 today but lost my lunch break. Will have to wait until next week.

 

[kake123]

24/25 MBLD in 1hr 5min 45.11s

Could have been 1hr 4min without the pause

22/25 MBLD in 1hr 4min 29.57s

2 cubes off by a flipped edge, 1 cube off by a few edges

 

[the super cuber]

22/25 MBLD in 1hr 4min 29.57s

2 cubes off by a flipped edge, 1 cube off by a few edges

Nice you got pretty fast!

--------

Official 25/42 MBLD in 1:00:00 last month ran out of time with 7 cubes left to execute

Also got a pretty bad 28/36 in 1:00:00 next attempt (20 points)

Didn't get enough practice before the comp due to exams

 

[kamilprzyb]

First solves after a break
13/16 30:07
30/32 55:21
31/40 59:49
I feel strong, I'll try something big this weekend

 

[kamilprzyb]

37/49 1:19:41 [51:50] yesterday
41/49 1:16:11 [49:50] today
3 pops + 1 corner twist god why, my cubes suck
without that it would be 44/49 or 45/49 (3 cubes are completly solved with one twisted piece and 1 is messed up due to pop in the middle of algorithm)
other 4 mistakes are small and avoidable
there's a lot of potential to be faster and better, if only I'll keep such concentration as today

god, why my cubes suck

Magnets.

1/5 in 16:23
I was really confident with my memo as well, 3 of the 4 unsolved were off by twisted corners and solved edges
