It's been a while, so here is a long update.
I got a 23.67 Mean (22, 25, 24) a few days ago, which puts me 99th in the world (higher than my skewb ranking
). Here are the recons (Sorry if the recons look weird than how most people do it, its bc I started off doing this and am too lazy to learn it the right way).
1st Attempt:
R' U' F L' D2 L' D L' B' U' D' B' R2 F' R2 U2 B D2 F' L2 R B2 R' U' F
(F’ U’ R) (3) EO
(U B2 R2 D B2 U F’) (7) DR in 10
(U’) (1) 3QT → 2QT
L2 D’ B2 D’ (4) HTR in 15
(F2 L2 D2 L2 B2 R2 B2) (7) Finish
Solution: L2 D’ B2 D’ B2 R2 B2 L2 D2 L2 F2 U F U’ B2 D’ R2 B2 U’ R’ U F (22)
2nd Attempt:
R’ U’ F U B’ R F’ D2 B’ L2 B U2 F L2 B2 D’ F L’ D2 U2 L B2 R’ U’ F
R2 U2 L (3) EO
D F (2) RZP
(D2 F2 L2 D L2 U’ D2 B) (8) DR in 13
(D) (1) 3QT → 2QT
(F2 R2 U B2 U’) (5) HTR in 19
F2 B2 U2 L2 R2 U2 R2 U2 (8) Finish
Solution: R2 U2 L D F’ B2 U2 L2 R2 U2 R2 U’ B2 U’ R2 F2 D’ B’ D2 U L2 D’ L2 F2 D2 (25)
3rd Attempt:
R’ U’ F R U’ F2 L’ F R’ B L’ D F2 D’ R2 F2 D’ R2 U R2 F2 R’ U R’ U’ F
(D’ L D) (3) EO
(L) (1) RZP
F2 L2 F R B’ R (6) DR in 11
F (1) 3QT → 2QT
(L2 R2 U2 R2 F’ L2 F) (7) HTR in 18
U2 R2 U2 D2 F2 D2 L2 (7) Finish
Solution: F2 L2 F R B’ R F’ U2 R2 U2 D2 F2 D2 L2 F’ L2 F R2 U2 R2 L D’ L’ D (24)
Overall, I am really happy, and also qualified for Worlds with this (most likely, bc Im 47th on the psych sheet meaning 4 people need to get break their PR's and get under a 23.67, which isn't impossible but unlikely considering how little FMC is held)
I also got 5BLD success (2 of them, actually) meaning I have done every WCA event successfully. I also got a 10/10 MBLD, and a Sub-1 3BLD single (53.93).
I am missing two events to qualify (and compete) in all 17 WCA events at Worlds (5BLD and MBLD) which has so far been accomplished by 6 people: Ben Baron, Cale Schoon, Firstian Fushada, Jan Bentlage, Noah Swor, and Stanley Chapel.
I average 12-15 on 5BLD (need Sub-10) and have a PB of 18 on multi (need 20) and with (most likely) 6 attempts of 5BLD and 1 attempt of multi before the qualification deadline, I think this is very possible.
I haven't done anything else in a while, but soon I'll start doing other events. I also have a 2 day comp with almost every event I'm organizing this weekend.
Thanks for reading! (this was a lot)
