Yeah

Nice, What 7 simul do you use?
Bpaul or Tommy

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

it became a bit boring after sub 5 tbh, but the improvement was fun.

That's fair

Nice, What 7 simul do you use?
Bpaul or Tommy

Tommy, but I only memorize 4 letters and 1 number because I found it very annoying that for the middle pair the first letter is with the right hand. So I only memorize the second letter from that pair, but as a number. The first letter of that pair is unnecessary anyway, as you can literally see what to do during the solve.

you could just swap the memo around lol I just memo 6 and I memo M5 and M6 first

I tried that but I find it a bit annoying, and I'm used to this now anyway so idrc

yeah doesn't really matter as long as you can memo in 15 seconds. I found 7simul in comp pretty easy last time by just turning kinda safe

Nevermind I have a 5.72 ao5 now.
The last solve was 4.75, but it could have easily been a sub 4. The memo was literally OO OO OO using Tommy's memo, but I had a super long pause about how the pin order worked if the third pair is OO. The scramble was UR1- DR3+ DL1- UL2+ U1+ R2- D2- L1+ ALL6+ y2 U5+ R4+ D4+ L6+ ALL6+ UR UL.

2.47 lol, I have never had all zero memo within 5000 solves

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Lol yeah the probability is like 1 in half a million so getting one in my first 500 serious 7-simul solves is quite funny (and annoying, I'd rather have had this scramble while also having some skill, this was quite a waste now)

too bad, now only like 495000 solves before it is possible to get another one because thats how probability works . In all reality it is actually quite hard to get a good single with 7 simul lol, it is way less scramble dependant than flip and most solves are around the same time

Yeah cstimer remembers lucky scrambles

In all reality it is actually quite hard to get a good single with 7 simul lol, it is way less scramble dependant than flip and most solves are around the same time

I can imagine that is the case when you are good, but for me I get for example 5s and 7s on very similar scrambles. I guess I'm still inconsistent

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Happy new year everyone!
I'm at 1000 7-simul solves already! Holidays are fun, you can actually practice during those.
Some stats:
910 / 1000 successes (91%)
2 / 1000 4s (0.2%)
103 / 1000 5s (10.3%)
626 / 1000 6s or 7s (62.6%)
The rest was over 8 seconds.
1 / 1000 solves had a 1 move cross so I didn't use 7-simul, but flip without the flip. I got 5.15 on that one.
Best ao100: 6.85
Best ao5: 5.72
Best single: 4.75
My original intention was to only do 7simul on scrambles with a center-edge bar, but I abandoned that plan later on in the avg. It makes the scramble set a little rigged, but whatever.
Also, the fact that I only got 2 sub 5s is a bit disappointing, because I also have a 5.00, 5.03, 5.04, 5.07 etc etc, so I guess it's a bit of bad luck I didn't get more sub 5s.

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

I just got a 4.76 clock solve on a scramble with 11 moves! If I had that turning speed on the 4.75 with OO OO OO memo it would have been a 3.02 lol

4.44 on clock but I solved everything to 6 o' clock, oopsies
Edit: got this scramble a little later: UR3+ DR5+ DL4+ UL1- U2- R6+ D3+ L3- ALL1- y2 U0+ R4+ D0+ L5- ALL1- DR DL UL
I used flip without the flip again and got 4.53
Edit again: 2 solves later I got a 4.39 with 7-simul!! scramble: UR1- DR1+ DL2+ UL5- U2- R0+ D3+ L6+ ALL4+ y2 U1- R6+ D5+ L2- ALL5- UR DL

[Jorian Meeuse]

I missed an official 5-mover on 2x2 yesterday because I skipped a comp that was on my birthday...

Btw the comp was also today but I had something else so I just skipped the whole comp. Kinda sad that I missed the opportunity for a Dutch 2-day comp, but it is what it is.

Next competition is next week. There will be 3BLD but I won't focus on that any longer, because I always mess up and if that's the only thing I care about in the competition, it's way less fun. Gonna try to get a sub 8 official 3x3 avg, and maybe practice a bit of squan, because that's my worst national kinch score.

If H is second in a letter pair during audio memo, and the first letter was a consonant, I use the Dutch diphthong 'ui' for it, a sound which doesn't exist in English. So LH would be 'lui', which, conveniently, is a Dutch word as well (meaning lazy).

Other things I replace:
Q -> ST

W when second in pair after consonant -> AU, another Dutch diphthong, similar to the English 'ow' in 'cow'

When a vowel is followed by H I just use the vowel and ignore the H.

I don't think I replace anything else. Probably not as helpful, because Dutch sounds can be tricky for non-natives, but it is what it is

Thank you! These sound really good, and I will definitely try these in my next few attempts. I’m not a native English speaker, so these Dutch sounds make a lot more sense.

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Had a comp today which I didn't practice for, but surprisingly I didn't do too bad (except in 3x3, I didn't even make finals lol).
Got 2nd in 2x2 first round with a 2.18 pr avg, and 3rd in the finals with a 2.12 pr avg.
I got 3 slow 3BLD solves, but I don't really care that they were slow, because I finally have a mean now (25.82, which is, to my surprise, WR91). It's still far from good, but I feel like my nerve management is finally improving a bit. Maybe I'll start grinding again someday.
Olivier (current NR holder) got an 18.59 and a 19.02 single in that round, so it's kind of sad that he DNFed the second solve, because that could have been a really nice mean.
