I got 13/13 in 49:58 officially this weekend, which was overall PB on time. The way it happened was pretty crazy though.

On the 3BLD cube, I had 4 targets and 3 twisted corners, so I got confused and thought I had parity. I realized halfway through the next cube that I had messed up (which almost caused me to lose my place on that cube), so I picked up the first cube to fix it. However, I didn't know what orientation I had placed it down in. On a hunch, I did a y rotation before executing the fix.

Later on, I had a sinking feeling that I had misremembered one of the letter pairs on an early cube, as well as a sense of general unease that I might have been doing some edge cycles in the wrong direction. When I finished, I expected 11/13 at best.

Apparently, though, I had fixed everything correctly! As you can see in the video below, I was very surprised.
 
If you can do 3 in less than 20:00 you should be able to do 5 in less then 50:00. If you are above 20:00 you are probably cutting it pretty close
Go for it!

How are your rooms? If you can handle 3 with enough space for more, 5 should not be as hard.
3/5! Like a hour and 20 mins. That's soooo tiring! Thanks for the motivation!

Nice!
5mins off Jay ; )

Actually better than I expected. I tried to really push memo, even took out an extra review I would normally do to try and speed things up. Also 23:39 execution is pretty nice.

DNFs:
- DF + UL flipped
- UBL + UFL twisted x2
- Edge cycle
- Edge cycle + UR flipped

PB 10/10 49:31.45 [25:24.64]

First 10/10

Memo was pretty quick for me. However I lost some time in execution when I forgot my edge memo on one cube. I left it and came back to it, but I lost a decent chunk of time trying to remember. Based on this I think 12 cubes in under 1 hour is definitely a possibility for me.
 
10/11 (52:08[28:50.32])
Not quite an accomplishment, but not really a failure either.
So I memo my cubes in rooms 1->10 and execute them 10->1. Since I am so used to doing 10 cube attempts I got to my 2nd cube in my flight and thought I was in room 8 when I should of been in room 9. I didn't realize my mistake until i went to pick up the next cube. I took the cube I had messed up on and put it to the side with the intention of going back to it, and I proceeded to execute the rest of my cubes. I came back to the messed up cube and back tracked my entire solution only to realize i forgot to back track my parity alg in the middle, so I gave up. I estimate that this process added 2-3 minutes to my time. That means if I had executed that cube correctly I would have had a sub 50:00 11 cube attempt. This pacing is insane for me considering I got my first 10/10 2 days ago in 49:31.
