Mike, can you add my 5x5x5 BLD result for last week, please?

I just did the scrambles, trying to reorient.
8:59.62, 10:58.72, DNF(12:20.67) = 8:59.62
First was a normal solve, the next two I reorient. I'm a bit slow (25-30 seconds) but I hope it will get better. I also couldn't concentrate well at these two solves, that explains the bad times.

Done. Not a bad first try; it does take a little while to get used to as well - I find that not having the centers to reference tends to make me second-guess and slow down a little. And I didn't reorient the first one either; the original orientation seemed good enough to me.
 
I have a question. How do you find the mean of your five best solves if you have more than 5 successes? Do you have to go in and count by yourself?

EDIT, my results:

2x2: Mean of best 5: 43.16, consistency: 7/8
1:15.51, DNF(1:07.18), 1:03.74, 38.75, 52.22, 30.40, 49.38, 45.06
Comments: Pretty good.

3x3: Mean of best 5: 2:30.75, consistency: 5/10
2:40.06, 2:34.14, 2:59.60, DNF(1:50.29), 2:16.78, DNF(2:45.57), 2:03.14, DNF(3:10.79), DNF(2:10.78), DNF(2:22.57)
Comments: Some scrambles were so easy, but I rushed my memo and failed... Oh well, one new pb, 2:03.14. 1:50 would've been awesome, but off by 3 edges.

Week 2012-06
3x3 Mean of 5: 4:54.47 - 5/20

This is BY FAR the most BLD solves I have done in one session. 1/3 success rate is pretty awesome for me as well...

Edit: Went ahead and did the last five solves to finish out the 20 tonight. They were all DNF's, so it didn't change my average. 1/4 is still a pretty high success rate for me.

01) DNF - 8:29.25
Had a huge execution mistake.

02) DNF - 5:06.08
Off by 3 edges

03) 4:20.98

04) DNF - 8:18.18
Spent forever on recall. Cube was jumbled

05) DNF - 5:45.71
Misgrip

06) 3:52.56

07) 4:01.15

08) DNF - 4:36.71
Two misoriented corners

09) DNF - 4:29.01
Three cycle of corners

10) DNF - 8:40.58

11) 6:26.54

12) DNF
Gave up... forgot edges

13) DNF 5:00.84
Off by three edge cycle

14) DNF - 6:42.84
Two flipped corners; four incorrect edges

15) 5:50.14

16) DNF - 4:24.98
Two flipped edges

17) DNF - 4:39.25
Two twisted corners

18) DNF - 4:18.05
This one pisses me off... I stopped the solve and hit the timer, then instantly remembered that I hadn't bothered to finish the solve. I still had one image left, and it would have been correct. I guess mental lapses like this really go to show how much concentration it takes for me to hold onto a memo... there isn't much left for anything else.

19) DNF - 4:34.32
Three cycle of corners

20) DNF - 5:06.88
Jumbled cube
I can't get over how many of my solves are off by only one cycle or one "orientation group."

I'm still doing corners only on 3x3. But I realised that when I use the 2x2 scrambles, the DBL corner stays solved all the time (D'uh lol), which means I'm not really practising 3x3 corners properly. So I'm going to use the 3x3 scrambles this week, and I guess you can just put me as DNF(corners only) under 3x3 like you did the first time I competed.
Thanks.


Mean of 5 best: 49.76

I'm very happy with this. My two aims were to have 75% accuracy and for my mean of best 5 solves to be below 1 minute. My accuracy was 16/20 which is 80% and my mean of best 5 result was less than 50 seconds. So I'm very happy. And my corners only result was close to Zane's whole cube result lol :D.
I also got my first sub-20 memo.

Accuracy: 16/20
Best 5 solves: 43.83 (20), 46.20 (3), 50.79 (4), 53.05 (8), 54.91 (19)
Best time: 43.83
Worst time: 1:59.75
1. 1:16.50
2. 1:12.13
3. 46.20 (24 memo/22 execution) PB - first sub-50 :D

Where will be new scrambles?
BTW, probably it was proposed before, but maybe we can make multi-bld in this race too? It's just the scrambler adds 20-30 scrambles for this discipline.
There was a multi-bld race before but it faded out.

Sorry to be late with the results. It's been a busy week.

I really feel like this race is already pretty huge without adding multi; I'd rather not add it. If someone else ever decides to hijack, feel free to add it if you want, but I'd rather it not become a regular part of the race here, personally.
 
Week 2012-07:

  • 2x2x2BLD 20 solves: mean of five best. (do at least 5 solves)
  • 3x3x3BLD 20 solves: mean of five best. (do at least 5 solves)
  • 4x4x4BLD 8 solves: mean of two best. (at least 2)
  • 5x5x5BLD 4 solves: best solve. (well, one then)
  • 8x8x8BLD 1 solve: best solve.

Do as much or as little as you like. This will end Monday night, February 20, 2012, at 11:59 PM EDT.
