Blindfold Accomplishment Thread

[fanwuq]

I got my first successful solve this Monday! After many weeks of close DNFs. I did peek once in the middle just to made sure I haven't completely screwed up like always, but that affected nothing. I now have more confidence. I thought I was giving myself an easy case (3 pieces are solved), but everything else was some more difficult than usually. I was stuck for minutes trying to think how to resolve the parity of UL LB, RFU RDF. I ended up doing D2 L2 T perm L2 D2 U2 L H perm L' U2.
Memo in about 3 min, total about 10 min.

Congratulations, fanwuq! Hopefully we'll see lots of posts from you here in the future!

I have one - I just had my best ever 5x5x5 BLD solve for the third scramble in this week's competition: 21:17.39! Still almost a minute slower than Tim's first ever 5x5x5 BLD solve a few days ago, but it's a great accomplishment for me - about 2 minutes faster than my previous best! Memo was still about 10:30, so the speed was in the execution. Now I need to work on speeding up my memo.

For anyone who does 5x5x5 BLD, you should try the third scramble in the competition this week. It's not lucky at all, but it is pretty straightforward to solve. At the moment, I think I need a scramble this nice to be able to get a time this good.

I took a several month break without doing any BLD solving at all, then I come back to find out that my memo has increased about 50%, while my solving time has sped up by 50%. I think it is a positive thing, not necessarily an accomplishment though.

Anyone knows a faster way to graduate?

My best is 1'09, and average around 1'35. But French record is 1'24 since Friday, I have to work on my corners ...

Concerning multiblind, my best is 4/4 in 25 minutes, but I have ordered more cubes.

Yay, my first 4/4 cube multi bld!!!!

Total time was 26:09 with 18:xx for memo.

I tried three times before I succeeded, I'm exhausted...

The other attempts were 2/4, 2/4, 3/4, and theeeeeeeeeeeeeen...... 4/4!

This isn't much of a real achievement, but I thought it was quite good.
I tried a 2 cube multi-bld.
1/2 in 3:10.66

I didn't expect it to be soo fast! The 2nd cube had 2 misoriented edges, and parity off.
