Comment: I think it’s my new personal best.

17:19.90
Comment: First one was totally scrambled - I was holding the cube in the wrong orientation at the end. I don't remember ever having one this bad before.
I did the third one of these, the 3 4x4x4 BLDs, and the multi all in a span of about 3 hours tonight - 100% accuracy! I should really probably try a megaminx BLD tonight, but I'm just too tired - I've gotta quit and head for bed now.
6x6x6 BLD: DNF (39:12.18, 19:12), DNS, DNS =
DNF
Comment: Off by just 3 inner wings. Apparently I memorized one piece incorrectly. At least it was sub-40 - it's been a while since I've been that fast.
7x7x7 BLD: DNF (55:57.84, 29:14), DNS, DNS =
DNF
Comment: Off by 4 inner wings and 3 outer X centers. I'm really happy with this time. It was just silly execution mistakes that I made here. I now know for sure that I'm capable of a sub-hour solve. What I did different this time was to just force myself to keep thinking ahead throughout the solve. If I can do that and I don't have any bad memory recall pauses, execution time can be faster than memorization time.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 3/3 = 3 points, 11:45.11 (6:33)
Comment: Wow, that was fast for me!

DNF
Comment: First was off by 3 corners mispermuted, 2 corners twisted, 2 edges flipped. Second was off by 6 corners, 3 edges mispermuted, 2 edges flipped. On the edges on the second one, I forgot to do execution on one of the locations. But I’m finally getting way under an hour. Sub-30 should be possible someday.
Pyraminx: 22.66,

No cancellations at all.
Comment: I was trying to make some keyhole solution work when I realized I was almost out of time, so I just wrote out the solve I was trying at the time. Awful – I couldn’t find anything. It’s like I forgot how to do fewest moves or something.
