Round 16

Attempt #1 11/15 in 1:10:xx (42:xx)
Attempt #2 14/15 in 58:16.80 (39:15)

Comments
Attempt #1: 2 twisted corners, another cube is scrambled (Messed up Y-Perm, I think), and two cubes are off some edges.

Attempt #2: I wanted to prove that I can do big-multi-blds, after I failed with a 7/13 = 1 Point (NR - yippie) in the competition last weekend.
First time that I´m sub 1 hour, Only a little mistake while memorizing, last corner of the 7th cube was FUR, but I memorized RFU, as a result 2 twisted corners. 15/15 is so hard to manage.
I used this time different rooms, which I made some time ago. Maybe this helped, because I had no problem recalling things.
I filmed myself, maybe someone is interested.

Round 16:
Attempt 1: 3/6 41:11 (29:22). Actually kinda happy with this for the most part. I've learned a valuable lesson I should have learned already: check thoroughly for PBD pieces (cost me 2 DNFs). Apart from that, I had one cube with 2 flipped corners that I must have cycled wrong. Got a comp soon, hopefully I can do decently in it.

PS. Is this still meant to be running now that Zane kicked all our asses? It's been a quiet week ...

 

[Zane_C]

Attempt #1: 13/15 (46:58.07) = 11 points

Comment: WAY too tired to be doing this, memo was >30.
- 3 edges.
- The cube popped, so a lot.

Good question. It is not popular, at some point we should close the race. I would suggest to keep going the race until we get 3 winners so to have a "podium".

Right now I am not really cubing anymore, just too busy. Sometime I forget to update after 7 days, so some rounds are longer than that.

Zane if you did a 15/15 in 36 then steal the record from Chester...he'd be mad lol

Round 17:

Attempt 1: 8/10 (1:04:31.63)
Attempt 2: 8/10 (1:00:30.49)

Fourth 8/10 in a row. At least I'm getting faster...

Round 17
Attempt 1: 7/7 59:17+ (39:19). Most spectacular failure yet. Last part of execution on the last cube was a 2 edge flip with one setup move. I forgot to undo the setup move. Also lost a bit of time in a few places for equally silly reasons.
Edit: I'm stupid, that's a +2, not a DNF, which makes it 7/7 and not 6/7 (as far as I can tell, I checked the regulations)

Damn.

EDIT: Much better. :tu

As long as you areone move away on that cube (Note, slice moves are 2 moves), it's just a +2.

Yes, it was +2. Congratulations on your 7/7!

Attempt #1: 12/15 in 1:02:37 (41:30)
Attempt #2: 15/15 in 58:50.13 (39:38)

Comments:
Attempt #1: So many popps, I don´t know what happens. First a edge popped during a Y-Perm, but I managed it to put it back correct, and continued it - solved. Then during a Y-Perm an edge and a corner popped, I put the cube away (First unsolved cube). On cube 13. I memorized DK but solved DJ (?) -> 2 twisted corners, on cube 14 a corner popped (Yes, only the corner), I put it wrong back - 1 twisted corner.

Attempt #2: FINALLY! I won the race! (Just one week after Zane)
This was hard work, lots of practice and lots of attempts(First Round - 1/4 solved).
I noticed that my results are better when I´m switching the routes. So I use some routes for the first attempt in a week, and other routes for the second in a week. My times are getting a lot better with that.
Oh, and I want to thank Micael a lot for offering and servicing this race.

P.S. I will participate from time to time at this race, so I can see how my times and my accuracy is changing, but I will start doing bigger ones, maybe 18 or 20 cubes.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Wow, Jakob, very nice - congratulations!

 

[Zane_C]

Jakob, you've put in a lot of practice from the very start, and it has paid off. Congratulations, you've gotten very good!

Micael, I'll do my attempts tomorrow.

 

[Micael]

Wow Jakob! It is a real feat to do 15/15 under an hour. Few did, you are among the world best now.:tu

Zane, I will wait for your results before updating.

 

[Zane_C]

Disappointing, I was in the memo phase of 15 cubes but distractions forced me to stop.

Attempt 1: 0/15 = DNF

Attempt 2: 2/2 (2:24.77) = 2 points
