52/56 in

So yeah, the 4 passing is working lol. I pretty much just went the same speed as last week with the 54 but had a way better exec. I actually didn't realize this result was WR2 until I was putting my cubes away later on, I was just relieved to have gotten another accurate result. This and last week's attempts give me a 46.67 official mean too, which is pretty cool.

This result has been encouraging in many ways:

1. 2 of the 4 DNFs were in the short term 6 cubes at the end of memo. This was strange because I wasn't that nervous by that point and it felt like a perfect 6/6. I have to check the scrambles, but I'm pretty sure I made really dumb memo errors with cycle-breaking. But yeah, considering that 9/10 times those short term cubes will be 6/6, this could've easily been 54/56.

2. I was actually more nervous for this attempt than the 51/54 last week, and I think that's because it was a 1 attempt comp. I have never done well at a 1 attempt comp, I usually only get PRs when I get through a shaky first attempt and get most of my nerves out of the way. Knowing I had only one shot, I definitely felt more pressure than usual and the long term memo didn't feel that strong because of it. So yeah not feeling that great during memo but having almost perfect recall is a huge confidence booster.

3. The execution was incredibly good. I haven't recorded many of my official attempts to check, but I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten sub19 exec per cube yet, so 16.46 is just insane. I would be very happy with this kind of exec at home actually, so it's nice to know I have the potential to go that fast in comp because it will be more necessary later on when I'm doing more cubes.

Hopefully 50 points soon :)
