2/2 9:45.03 Yesss, sub 10!
3/4 26:04.86 Off by 3 edges, otherwise good.

Spoiler: Feb 15

0/3 23:36.95 Off by 12, 10 and 4 pieces. Just terrible.

Spoiler: Feb 16

3/3 20:13.32 I must be tired, as I wasted several minutes figuring out why I had an even number of edge targets and odd number of corner targets on one of the cubes. The answer was that I for some reason memorized one solved and one twisted corner as a 2 cycle :fp

Spoiler: Feb 17

1/2 8:26.02 3 corners and 3 edges wrong. Very good time.

Spoiler: Feb 18

2/2 18:55.59 Took forever to recall some of the images. Difficult to concentrate because of a lot of noise.

Spoiler: Feb 21

4/7 1:00:00.00 (5/7 1:00:55.72)One off by two twisted corners and one off by two flipped edges. The last cube was just not finished after one hour. I have never attempted more than 5 cubes before this.

Spoiler: Feb 25

3/4 26:12.94 Good time, 5 wrong corners. I want a new PB now.

Spoiler: Feb 26

3/3 17:35.91

Spoiler: Feb 28

3/4 20:24.06 VERY good time. Off by 3 corners

Spoiler: Mar 01

1/2 9:02.33 6 corners and 5 edges -_-

Spoiler: Mar 08

4/6 55:38.08 a 3-cycle and two twisted corners

Spoiler: Mar 11

2/3 16:48.28 the last cube had 9 unsolved pieces. Otherwise a good time

Spoiler: Mar 12

6/6 42:27.98 PB!

After one month, and only doing attempts half of the days, I have not reached the goal. However I'm satisfied with the result. It seems like I should be able to do at least 7 cubes, or maybe even 8 on a good day, and that's a good improvement.

I will definitely try this sometime again to try to reach 10 cubes.
