Negative Time Solving Contest 2010

[dChan]

Go Mike and Chris! Nice results guys!

I did a one-handed solve this year, since it is my favorite event, and got -59min, 36.11 sec. I was videochatting with a friend while doing it and didn't realize that it was time to start when, all of a sudden, he started going, "51, 52, 53," etc. Haha, so, as you can imagine, I rushed to inspect and ended up not planning my first steps very well. There's always next time, though!

3x3 multiBLD: -30:57, 0/3 DNF.
I finished through the second cube edges then couldn't remember the first corner. I tried moving on to the third cube but couldn't even remember the first edge. Turned out I missed the last corner on the first cube during memo.

This was really bad... I made mistakes multiple times while memorizing and had to try to start over. I thought I would do better since I tried a sleep-delayed BLD with the same method, but trying to "stack" two images at each location and having the same images (often the same pairs) repeated in different rooms threw me off. I might be able to do this with practice, but I doubt I will ever go beyond 3 with one image per sticker. Time to start working on a list of pair images, I guess.
