[US NR] Noah Arthurs 41.36 3BLD (+10/13 MBLD)

Congradulations on the NR. Did you win MBld? How did Corey do in his events? Also, Did you Sub-15 Avg? Sorry for all of the questions, but I can't find the results anywhere yet.

Yes I won multi.
Corey got 58.xy 3BLD, 8:xy 4BLD and 7/15 multi
My 3x3 average had 3 DNFs, but the two that weren't averaged to about 20.

Great job.

Thanks. It's too bad for corey's multi. I thought 15/15 was very possible for him.

How did you get 3 DNF's in speedsolves!? Were you doing what haiyan did?

Also, I am no one to talk about accuracy :fp, but what is going on with your 4bld?

I was doing normal solves, just kinda goofing off.

For 4BLD, it's just centers. This 1000 solve marathon should help my accuracy a bit.
 
Reconstruction:

Scramble: F2 D2 R2 F2 D U' B2 R2 U L F2 R' D' B D' U' F D2 B'

Memo: x' y
Corners: WJVBGFX = the WedJie's ViBes are GooFy like my eX
Edges: SNXAFPHBI* = SuNass(XA) FaPHuB I

Edges (57):
[x ; [U' R2 U , M']] (8)
[U' L2 U , M2] (8)
B L2 B' M2 B L2 B2 R2 B M2 B' R2 B* (13) = I'm really stupid
[U' ; [u' L' u , M2]]* (10)
[D ; [M' , U R2 U']] (10)
[M2 , D' L2 D] (8)

Corners (27):
[R ; [U' , L' D2 L]] (10)
[z ; [L' U2 L , D2]]* (8)
[x U2 ; [R' , U L2 U']] (9)

Parity (19):
D F'
R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R
F D'

*= Something where I did something slower than my normal thing.

This was bad :(

Fixed.
Congratulations with NR! But some of your algs suck :p
30 seconds for execution is way too much even with pauses. Go and learn good algs :tu

Yes, after doing that reconstruction, I realized that in competition I often revert back to cases I haven't used in a long time that are slower but "safer". It just happens without me thinking about it.

The good news is that I have identified this problem and can make sure it stops happening.

Congrats Noah!

But which algs 'suck'? Most of them seem fine to me! I'd only do the 3rd edge cycle with a x [CW U-perm] x' and the 4th with z' U [M] U R U' [M'] U R' U2 z.

3rd edge cycle:
x M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 x'
4th edge cycle:
u' U' L' U M2 U' L U M2 u

2nd corner cycle:
z' R' D2 R U2 R' D2 R U2 z
3rd corner cycle:
z y' R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R y z

And also I used M2 parity like a noob.

And the first 3-cycle in corners can be solved with a pure comm.
But yes, this solve mostly (2/3) consists of optimal algs. I just wrote that comment under the impression of your (Noah) part 8 of 3-style tutorial.
Your ability to memorize for 10-12 seconds impresses me, and when you will learn good algs, you will rule :)
 
This is awesome, congrats, what does NR stand for? I know what NAR is but, it's just one of those things that no one ever really says what they stand for ...
