Second Attempt was a 27

R' U' F L2 F' D2 B' F' R2 D2 U2 F' L2 U2 D' F L2 F' D' R B2 L' F2 D R' U' F

F B2 R B (4) EO
U’ L (2) RZP
(R2 D2 R2 D’ L’ D2 L) (7) DR in 13, 3 qt
L2 U’ (2) 3 → 2qt
(L2 F2 D2 R2 U’ L2 U) (7) HTR in 22
F2 L2 B2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 (8) Finish

Final: F B2 R B U’ L’ U’ F2 L2 B2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U L2 U R2 D2 F2 L D2 L D R2 D2 R2 (27)

Not bad, but the 3 cancellations definitely helped.

I'm getting better at one-looking (this was with unlimited inspection) and I might have 6 official rounds before NAC (At least 4). Podium is unlikely but in this ao100 I got many low 2 averages so if I get better at one looking there is a chance. (Especially looking at how Stanley somehow won at worlds with a 2.32 avg)

Brooooo how are you this good? I mean, you do have Zayn, Carter, and Simon (and others) to deal with. Nonetheless, congrats! Excited to see you at NAC

Goals:
Everything but Skewb:

Skewb: Make finals, probably will need a Mid-Low 3 avg, but it depends on scrams.
I've improved my one looking and finished NS, (although my recognition is garbage, planning to practice that tmr on the plane) so I'm hoping for at least one Sub-3 avg in the 2-3 rounds I will have.

nice goals for everything else lol
 
Update:
My new goal is to qualify for everything in either stage 1 or 2 for Worlds. As far as I know there is nobody in the world who currently qualifies for everything in stage 1 or 2 so that is my goal. I also want to be at least top player in skewb by the end of 2024.

Also I will be doing an FMC attempt every day until my next FMC Comp, and this is the first one:

R' U' F D2 U2 F L2 F D2 B' F2 R2 F U2 R2 L' D B' D' U R D L' F R' U' F

D # F L B (4) EO
L2 D’ R2!(3)2x2x2
U F2 (2)2x2x2 + Cross
D L’ U2 L U2 R U R’ D’
(9)Psuedoslotting into 4c

#= D B D’F D B’ D’ F’ (8) 4c -> 3c
!= R’ D R U R’ D’ R U’(8) 3c -> Solved

Final: D2 B D’ F D B’ D’ L B L2 D’ R D R U R’ D’ R F2 D L’ U2 L U2 R U R’ D (28)

On my first EO there was a big block and I used that to do psuedo slotting and got 18 moves to 4C. I didn't find much cancellations during insertions (Skill and Luck issue) but a 28 isn't bad.

Good luck getting a sub-3 and a sub-8 in bigBLDs and at least 27 points in MBLD 😂 but seriously, it’s a good goal to help yourself become an all-rounder. Good luck!

Closest is carter kucala, who is JUST on the borderline for mbld with 27 points, not sure if that counts but if it does then he is the ONLY PERSON to qualify for everything in stage 1/2

This is overall a really good solution for me, and it is HTR PB, because I have never gotten HTR in 16 moves. A 11 move finish (with a one move cancellation, making it 10) is kind of dissapointing, so I still have to work on that. I also need to find more EO's in the beginning of the attempt.

I had 15 EO's but 3 led to 5 QT DR's and 2 led to 4 QT DR's, which is quite bad, so in the last 30 min of the attempt I decided to block build with FMC basics (NISS, EO, Psuedo blocks, skeletons and insertions) and a 32 isn't bad for me when I don't use DR. Bad scramble though.

This makes my mean of the last 3 attempts 28.67, which ties my PR mean

Final: F’ R D’ R L2 U2 B2 D’ B2 D’ U2 F B R2 F B’ R2 B2 R2 D’ F2 D’ F U’ D’ (25)

4 Move EO into the 3 move DR trigger so 7 move DR :O

4QT unfortunately and the post HTR wasn't great either tho
 
I've been busy, so I make an update:

I have a comp today! It is a PBQ comp, hence why I have been practicing a lot of FMC and blind.

I did one FMC attempt today, and got a 29.

R' U' F D2 B' R2 F2 U2 B' L2 B' R2 L' D2 U' F' R U F2 R' F' L2 B' R' U' F

(D) D2 L D (4) EO
R’ F’ (2) RZP
(D2 L2 U2 L R2 F) (6) DR in 12, 4QT
(L’ U2 L)(3)4QT -> 2QT
F2 L2 B2 R’ B2 R (6) HTR in 21
F’ B L2 F’ B (5)3E
F2 U’ D R2 U D’ (6) (6-1)

Final: D2 L D R’ F L2 B2 R’ B2 R F’ B L2 F B U’ D R2 U D’ L’ U2 L F’ R2 L’ U2 L2 D (29)

The HTR was pretty good considering it was 4QT. The Finish after HTR was just two 3E's cancelled into each other, but unfortunately I couldn't cancel anything.

I got a 9:18 DNF on 4BLD (Going for Sub-10 today).

I did multi as well, and got 8/10 in 58:42!

The 2 cubes were off by quite a bit, so I'm glad my mistakes just stuck to 2 cubes. Today I might attempt 11.
