First try at 36: 28/36 1:08:25
memo: 47:52 80s/cube
solve: 20:33 34s/cube
memo is slow becouse I'm changing my reviewing system and I need to get used to it
DNFs were 6x3cycle, one pop and one 3cycle+D2

EDIT:
2nd try: 31/36 60:10 or 30/36 60:00
memo: 40:44 68s/cube
solve: 19:26 32s/cube
total it's 100.28s/cube, I just need to be .28s faster

So, let me tell you about my official MBLD today. It started off pretty poorly when I had to keep rechecking cubes during reviews to remind myself what my memo was. Additionally, the scrambles were absolutely horrible - twisted and flipped pieces and cycle breaks galore. When I went to retrace my memo over all the cubes (I was going very safe since I was hoping for an n/n solve) I found that on over half my cubes I had memoed at least one wrong letter, and I had to update a bunch of images.

When I finally started execution, I discovered that I had put on my sight blocker upside down, so instead of the paper resting on top of the harmonica holder and being held in place by tape, the weight of the paper quickly pulled the tape off one side of the holder and dropped the paper on me as I was solving. I kept trying to tape it back up, but about once per each cube it would fall off and I would have to stop executing to stick it back up.

As I continued, my phone started to vibrate continually, since it's set to keep buzzing until I check the message (which I obviously was not allowed to do while solving). Soon after that, a big machine started making a bunch of noise in the hallway outside, which wasn't really that distracting but was just one more annoyance.

When I reached the final group of cubes, I couldn't remember the corners on one, so I skipped it and came back to it at the end. I spent at least 30 seconds trying to remember, and I eventually came up with everything but the first letter pair. After about another 90 seconds, I finally came up with that pair and was able to finish my attempt, which I had anticipated taking 45-50 minutes, in over 58 minutes.

And after all that, somehow I still managed 11/13. One cube was off by a 3 cycle of edges, and the other was a total mess since I got lost when the paper fell on me.

2/2 10:18.85[7:41.22]
why
so close to sub-10


still happy
8 minute drop from previous lol


Edit to avoid double posting:

1/4 in maybe 22 minutes with 15m memo
I got fast-ish, my last 4 cube attempt was like 2/4 in 45m.
Memo was pretty fast and very focused for a change
All 3 of the DNF were caused by a 3 cycle of edges.

Fail result, accomplished attempt. And this was for the weekly comp.

E3 to avoid triple posting:
3/7 1:09:44.20[50:01.99]

First 7 cube attempt.
Execution is really slow + memo got slow near the end = sub 1h fail

2 fliped edges + D
3 cycle of corners

3 cycle of corners and edges
5 cycle of edges, 3 cycle of corners + 2 twisted corners

solved
solved
solved

I think I can attempt 7 at Michigan

wow nice job! you are getting very fast

19/21 MBLD in 1hr 1min 9.68s

Execution mess up
Forgot a flipped edge
Slow memo ~44min

The only good thing was the execution speed

thanks

the dnfs were extra moves cause I used gans airs and they were uncontrollable af

That's pretty sweet, but of all the cubes to MBLD...

Those were the only 3x3s i had...

 

[guysensei1]

11/12 MBLD PB in 55:28.00!
10 points at last, but the dnf was a setup move, arrrrrgh

adding extra reviews means that I can memo faster, review faster and not forget stuff during execution. No major pauses during exec so that's really really good.

 

[kake123]

7/7 MBLD in 13min 3.15s, improvement by 2min from previous 7/7

 

[kake123]

15/15 MBLD in 36min 41.00s, improvement by 9min from my previous fastest 15 cube attempt time

 

[kake123]

18/19 MBLD in 49min 54.65s, off by a twisted corner

Hopefully something good this weekend

 

[FastCubeMaster]

3 Cube attempt, I think my 3rd 3 cube attempt PB currently stands at 2/3
But I got...

1/3 in 28:17. One cube had 2 flipped edges (I don't think I saw it in memo), the other just had a cycle of 3 edges

Oh well

 

[kake123]

After like forever...

My PB is 7/7 32:16.27[20:45.18].
I am going to get more cubes, because I am bored with 7 o_O.

 

[kake123]

22/23 MBLD in 1hr 8min 12.15s

I'm very happy about this attempt especially since my previous fastest 23 cube attempt was 1hr 18min (I thought I would be stuck there forever)

 

[kake123]

22/23 MBLD in 1hr 6min 31.37s

Already messed up a move for first cube but continued on.

 

[Scruggsy13]

Finally beat my overall MBLD PB from August of last year with 11/11 in 44:22. Very happy with this especially since it's only my third serious multiblind attempt since November.
