The blindfold race!

[Zane_C]

Stopped once I had a mean of 5.

2x2 BLD: 17.15, 20.36, 32.01, 14.89, 18.05 = 20.49
accuracy: 5/5
times: 17.15, 20.36, 32.01, 14.89, 18.05

3x3 BLD: 50.99, 49.28, 41.31, 41.71, 51.29 = 46.92
accuracy: 5/8
times: 50.99, DNF, 49.28, 41.31, 41.71, DNF, DNF, 51.29

[pi.cubed]

I'm still doing corners only on 3x3. But I realised that when I use the 2x2 scrambles, the DBL corner stays solved all the time (D'uh lol), which means I'm not really practising 3x3 corners properly. So I'm going to use the 3x3 scrambles this week, and I guess you can just put me as DNF(corners only) under 3x3 like you did the first time I competed.
Thanks.


Mean of 5 best: 49.76

I'm very happy with this. My two aims were to have 75% accuracy and for my mean of best 5 solves to be below 1 minute. My accuracy was 16/20 which is 80% and my mean of best 5 result was less than 50 seconds. So I'm very happy. And my corners only result was close to Zane's whole cube result lol .
I also got my first sub-20 memo.

Accuracy: 16/20
Best 5 solves: 43.83 (20), 46.20 (3), 50.79 (4), 53.05 (8), 54.91 (19)

[DrKorbin]

Where will be new scrambles?
BTW, probably it was proposed before, but maybe we can make multi-bld in this race too? It's just the scrambler adds 20-30 scrambles for this discipline.
There was a multi-bld race before but it faded out.

Sorry to be late with the results. It's been a busy week.

I really feel like this race is already pretty huge without adding multi; I'd rather not add it. If someone else ever decides to hijack, feel free to add it if you want, but I'd rather it not become a regular part of the race here, personally.

[Carson]

Week: 2012-08
3x3BLD 5/20 - Mean of 5 best = 5:02.53

Spoiler:

01) DNF
Gave up... too many execution mistakes

02) DNF - 5:20.42
2 corners off, edges were jumbled

03) DNF - 5:05.02
2 flipped edges

04) DNF - 6:59.35
Pretty far off... had to go back and fix numerous mistakes, so who knows what I did to screw it up.

05) DNF
Gave up when I realized I memo'd the same letter twice in a row. Opened eyes, looked at cube, then finished solve. Would have been about 4:15.

06) 4:28.26

07) 5:16.78

08) DNF - 5:57.66
Off by 4 edges and 4 corners

09) DNF - 4:15.66
Execution Mistake

10) DNF - 6:41.10
Dunno... just wrong

11) DNF - 4:08.33
3 cycle of corners

12) DNF - 4:01.82
As soon as I started solving, I realized I had odd corners and even edges... gave up.

13) 6:35.98
This was a hard fought success. I messed up the memo three or four times before I finally got it right. By the time I was actually ready to start solving, I probably had the equivalent of a three cube multi in my head!

14) 4:22.32
This should have been at least :30 faster. I messed up corners during execution, so I had to undo the first four and start the solve over.

15) DNF - 6:44.88
Not even close

16) DNF
Randomly forgot an alg... so I gave up

17) 4:29.32


18) DNF - 5:28.44
Not even close... no clue why

19) DNF - 3:49.87
Fast and bad...

20) DNF - 6:15.86
Memo'd corners wrong the first time so I had to redo them. By the time I memo'd and solved them, I had forgotten the edge memo. Took me a couple minutes to get that before I could finish the solve. Was off by a three edge cycle, but I'm not sure how.
