Attempted a 3bld today. Corners solved but had a few edges flipped in their place. I think it went fairly well for my first attempt ---

I’m happy right now… Just did an (about) 3 minute solve! Slow, but progress is being made. Also, got all steps memorized as well today. I could not remember step six. At least from that video that Pineapple Jumpsuit posted for me. ---

At least from that video that Pineapple Jumpsuit posted for me. good. I wish I could cut off that much time on my record :). I think yours is probably the most interesting time of cubing. ---

had two more unsuccessful attempts. It’s almost getting funny every time. Both attempts resulted in an accidental mental switch of two targets resulting in a cycling of three pieces on the inner wings. So close sooooo many times. I think I’ve come within three pieces at least 10 times. ---

Both attempts resulted in an accidental mental switch of two targets resulting in a cycling of three pieces on the inner wings. So close sooooo many times. I think I’ve come within three pieces at least 10 times. whenever I think of memo for big bld I imagine switching two letters and that would make a world of difference. How many letters of memo in a typical 6bld solve? ---

> [@Pineapple\_Jumpsuit](#): > > whenever I think of memo for big bld I imagine switching two letters and that would make a world of difference. How many letters of memo in a typical 6bld solve? no it doesn’t make much of a difference. But a miss is as good as a mile. Think of it this way. You’re running a mile on a typical track (4 laps equals a mile). You skip part of the track. You just skipped maybe a 10th of a mile. You haven’t run a mile but you’ve run nine 10ths of a mile after four laps. You’re just jumping ahead. It generally takes about 125 letters. ---
