Comment: Ugh – I believe the third one would have been my first sub-12! I memorized the wrong sticker of the first central edge. It’s funny – it seems like I have a common problem that I most often mismemorize one of the first few pieces on a solve – it’s like I need some time to settle in. It seems like, for a true safety solve, I should always go over the first few pieces again when I’m done memorizing, since it’s where I’m most likely to make a mistake. On the first solve, I couldn’t get my memo to stick. I then scrambled and started the second solve, “real-man” style, and had no problem at all on that one. I was surprised, since it’s usually hard for me to overcome something like that!
6x6x6 BLD: 31:46.57 [17:38]
Comment: Just a nice, easy solve.
7x7x7 BLD: DNF [52:11.73, 29:03, 2O 2o+]
Comment: Off by two obliques and two outer + centers. Memory wasn’t sticking very well, but at least it wasn’t a disaster.
3x3x3 multiBLD: 3/5 = 1 point, 25:27.00 [19:47]
Comment: I was burned out on big multis after this weekend, so I decided to do a small number. Memory again wasn’t sticking very well, so it was super slow. I think I did 4 refresh passes after I finished memorizing – terrible! Cube 3 was off by 3 corners because I memorized R instead of S; cube 5 was off by 3 corners (executed JD instead of ID), 2 edges flipped (I didn’t see one of them), and 3 edges permuted (I have no idea what I did wrong on those – I memorized them correctly).
3x3x3 OH: 44.91, 46.40, 49.38, 32.84, 45.53 = 45.61

Comment: Now that Nationals is over, I decided to go back to solving on carpet. Solving on a hard floor wasn’t helping me get better at that anyway, so why bother?

Comment: OHITABLD, of course. I tried doing the twist Stachu’s way, and that went pretty well sometimes – it’s clear I should be able to get better by doing it that way. I’m having more trouble with the flips at the end, though – those were done my old way with these solves. It’ll take me a while to be better with Stachu’s approach on the flips.

Clock: DNF [0:30], 17.22, 16.94, 15.40, 16.28 = 16.81
Comment: The BLD solve was completely hopeless because a pin was messed up. I’m afraid my clock is ruined forever, so I’m going to need to find another one.

Comment: On the BLD solve, the 5 corners and 5 of the edges were probably due to one wrong turn of one face somewhere. That happens on so many of my megaminx BLD attempts.

Comment: Wonderful start, but I couldn’t find a decent ending. I only know one V perm (15 moves), but this one is the mirror image of that one, canceled one move, and was easy to figure out.
