Finishing with a second to spare is a first for me

My biggest official attempt and third best result, 23 points
had a 1-2 minute pause on the last cube which I had set aside but managed to remember the memo just in time

Nice, do you think you can attempt the wr anytime soon?

Nice. I was watching through your WCA profile to see how many cubes you tried in last few weeks.

Thanks, I can do around 42 cubes in one hour now at home but need to work on accuracy. Hopefully I'll be able to go for it soon

Great result, despite not the ideal accuracy!

I have a few comments/questions/suggestions about the attempt, since I am becoming more interested in the event:

- It is ingenious the cover used and it's good that it covers everything, but I think you could suggest (or provide) organizers the usage of a large enough towel or a non-transparent scarf to cover the cubes. It's mostly inexpensive and the covering effect is the same and you don't have to waste time carefully removing it and giving it away to someone else.

- The way you place the cubes after being solved, stacking them precariously, have you ever had problems with accidentally bumping them and popping center pieces or falling to the ground or making a +2? It feels (to me) like you could optimize your cube placement in the table, as a lot of it is unused.

- The order of how you do the sets of 8, you start from the back. I wonder why you do this. I'm curious if you ever dislodged cubes from another set while trying to reach the back set or if you think you're wasting time tapping trying to find the cubes or accidentally elbow one of the front cubes to the floor moving the arm back or if you ever thought of that, or it's not a concern.

Again, congratulations for the result!

Thanks a lot

Yeah using towel/scarf to cover cubes can be done, although i don't think it will matter that much with a few second difference in a one hour attempt. But nice idea

Yes I have had 2 incidents of cube falling of the table, although no pieces popped in those. its just that while you are blindfolded its hard to see how much space is left, and I was trying not to accidentally bump my hand into the stopwatch also which was on that side of the table. I have had some practice with keeping cubes like this and i think it works for now

Yes, I have had one incident when I missed Asr by one cube because my hand bumped a cube and changed its orientation while picking up a cube near it. although that was when i used to group cubes in straight horizontal lines, now I used Maskow's style of grouping, and in that I'm unlikely to bump cubes as I start from one side alternating between front and back. I also do try to be very careful now in picking up cubes. I start from the back as those are the packs i memorise last, and execute first so its easier for me, otherwise Ill have to memo the back packs first, and later move them to the front.
