This isn't really anything special but it was my first MultiBLD attempt in 1 month and I don't want Dylan to be the only one to post here.

4/5 in 15:51.69 [11:52.47]
DNF was 1 move (of course)

memo/cube: 2:22.49
exec/cube: 47.84
total/cube: 3:10.33

I plan to practice 5 cube attempts this summer, goal is sub-10 consistently
and of course finally start using the method of loci because memo is really slowing me down
I'll eventually learn 3-style although my exec is already pretty good

Ok, I'll join the german MultiBLD team. I have been practicing five cube attempts for the last three weeks and got a new PB:

5/5 in 20:25 [12:33]
memo/cube: 2:30.60
exec/cube: 1:34.40

I would like to propose a new formula for MBLD scoring. I don't remember this particular formula being proposed before and I believe it is as simple as the current formula but more often agrees with my intuition about which attempt is better.

In particular believe score like 10/30 is worth more than a DNF and a is better than say 2/2.

The current formula is equivalent to
Code:
 Solved + Solved - Attempted
and I suggest to replace addition with multiplication in this formula
Code:
 Solved * Solved / Attempted = Solved * (Solved / Attempted) = Solved * accuracy

Compared with current formula it gives a little less penalty for failed cubes,

Looking at a results from one recent competition it would change the order of results in the following way:

28 / 36​

21.7

just did my first ever mbld attempt, it was 2/3 in 31:02.50 (ik that's over the WCA time limit but still it's a start). I'm pretty sure the reason I failed in my first cube was because I did an incorrect setup move for corners then did the reverse of the correct setup move.
probably would have been under the time limit if I wasn't stupid and memorized corners before edges like I do in normal blindfolded solving. Then I ended up doing them first so on my 2 cubes that had parity I had to undo the corner exec and do edges, then parity, then corners again.

2nd ever multiblind attempt: 1/3, 22:43.94. 1 cube had 3 corners and 3 edges off. 1 cube had 2 corner twists. I think I'll go for 4 cubes next week since the memo wasn't as hard on my brain this time around. I guess I either just memoed the wrong letters or messed up recall or exec. The time was much better though

What do you average on 3BLD

I want to be able to do 7 or 8 cubes by the time comps start back up. I'm just bad at making letter pairs into images which is why it's hard for me rn.
I can sub hour 7 and I’m worse than you at 3BLD and haven’t practiced much MBLD. If you go for it I’m sure you will be surprised at what you can do.

3rd ever multiblind attempt: 3/5: 43:13.00 One cube that was unsolved I realized I memoed the same letter twice when it wasn't the start and end of a cycle, and one cube I gave up after trying to recall corner memo for 5 minutes (but there were 3 edges unsolved anyway). I'm pretty happy with how I'm progressing (even though it's still 1 point in the WCA, I'm attempting more cubes), and I might go for 6 next week.
