[tim]

Impressive! Nice. Let me know in advance if you really want them. I think Tim asked for them fairly early on from Arnaud, but he only used them once or twice, and then Arnaud stopped providing them.

Yeah, sorry for that. The WR took away a lot of motivation. But i might try 16 next week if you're going to provide them . I guess i'll need some kind of alarm clock for judging myself. How do you guys know how many you solved in an hour if you're blindfolded?

3x3multibld: 0/2 = DNF One was a M2 off

Avoid this in competitions at all costs. Just ask Daniel Sheppard why.

Good.

Dumb last solve.
3x3: 16.64, 19.59, 16.70, 18.34, 19.25 = 18.10

Well said. Rafal winning Euro2010 with a new European Record is at the top of the picture. I'm 3rd with the result at the bottom. I have no idea how to deal with pictures on here, but hopefully this will work.

Okay, I guess I'll provide them, then.

I guess i'll need some kind of alarm clock for judging myself. How do you guys know how many you solved in an hour if you're blindfolded?

I usually do mine in the dining room. I set the timer for 60 minutes and 10 seconds on our microwave in the kitchen right next to the dining room, and after I hit start, I count down from 10 as I go to the dining room to sit down with the cubes. When I get to zero, I start the stopwatch and begin memorizing. When the timer beeps, I know it's exactly one hour.

It's gotten to be automatic since I've done it so many times. I had to remember not to do it with my square-1 multi last week - I almost set the timer by habit. (I think it will be a while before I can do 10 square-1s in an hour, unfortunately. )

Avoid this in competitions at all costs. Just ask Daniel Sheppard why.

That looks truly agonizing.

Just upload your picture on a sight like this http://tinypic.com/ and use the pictures URL when adding it to your post.

First time ever trying 3 cubes multi bld and only my 2nd multi bld ever! Also, my 2nd FMC ever. I can't build blocks or anything, so this feels like a very good number for me. It's just a fridrich solve. Can only use Fridrich . First 2x2 BLD attempts too. The last 2x2 BLD solve had a little luck, because i guessed at where the 2 bar on top was going to be, then randomly fixed the top layer. Luckily it was a +2 and not a DNF. Epic fail on 4x4 and 2-5 relay. Other PB's were Megaminx single and 2-4 relay.

[Keroma12]

2x2x2: 7.30, 7.57, (4.10), (8.40), 6.72 = 7.20
4.10 was non lucky
3x3x3: 27.41, 26.19, 27.36, (19.89), (30.00) = 26.99
Pretty bad, but nice single, also non lucky. The end of a 25.54 av 12
5x5x5: 2:43.16, 2:45.06, 2:45.91, (2:29.21), (3:11.07) = 2:44.71
6x6x6: 4:43.39, 4:22.08, 4:18.48, (4:43.40), (4:05.50) = 4:27.98
Fairly good but not consistent enough yet.
2x2x2 Blindfolded: DNF (1:13.99), DNF (1:02.60), 1:31.21 = 1:31.21
Absolutely failed every solve so badly
3x3x3 Blindfolded: 5:52.29, 5:42.36, DNF (5:32.48) = 5:42.36
Third one I forgot to do parity, realized it, thought about tracing it out and trying to fix it, but it would have taken too long anyway so just took the DNF. 4x4 BLD has made my 3x3 memo faster for sure
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 0/2 in 18:20.60
Single BLD always goes well, then I always forget 1 word in multi...
3x3x3 One Handed: (1:22.80), (1:03.90), 1:19.42, 1:04.61, 1:17.36 = 1:13.80
Pyraminx: DNF (5.76), 14.09, (6.65), 9.19, 10.51 = 11.26
first solve it exploded and 1 piece stopped timer haha. Most of them were lucky
Megaminx: (3:14.64), 3:10.72, 3:10.52, 3:11.90, (3:09.71) = 3:11.05
Wow consistent
