Blindfold Accomplishment Thread

I just tried 4BLD for the first time and got a success.

51.56.60 is the final time, memo was around 34 minutes.
I used U2, r2, OP, scramble was 16/26/10 without any parity.

Impressive! A success on 1st try at 4BLD is not something that many people can say

Woah 3BLD pb by 14 seconds:
1:32.44

41.76 pb first solve of the day

i knew my memo was good this solve but i didnt anticipate this

edit: i actually got an Ao12 first time ever
41.76, 1:01.27, 1:11.19, 1:04.16,54.98, 1:02.23, 1:09.03, 43.94,1:43.74, 1:16.10, 1:24.78,DNF(1:15.37)

I've been getting very close to 4BLD success, and even though all my 9 4BLD attempts have been DNFs, I'm putting this in the "Accomplishments" thread since it's an accomplishment for me.

I've done 3 solves today, breaking my PB for 4BLD attempts in a week, which was 1 attempt XD. That means I've adapted a much higher pace for practicing 4BLD.
2 of those 3 solves have been off by only a couple of pieces, the earliest by 3 centers, the lattest by 3 wings. The resting one has been a DNF because of 2 extra moves I made somewhen in the solve, the moves U' and R. That messed up everything with the wings.

I'll make some more attempts tomorrow, and hopefully at least one of them won't be a DNF!

Times:
14:01, off by 3 centers
8:17.07, off by extra moves
13:32.88, off by 3 edges.

So close! (Also those times are, as far as I understand, quite fast, and that creeps me out a little bit, since I take my time to memorize xD)
Scrambles in case you want them:

I'm getting more and more successful solves. I figured out that for me, because I'm not really going for time yet, it's better to memorize edges first because then they are at the beginning of my "journey", as I solve edges first. My execution times are better, it's the memo that's killing me. But overall I'm really happy.

Two official 3BLD successes at Dixon Fall 2016!
6:34.22 and 9:16.25
10 seconds under time limit. Kinda wish I could have gone for a mean, but I would need to be sub-5 for that...

I got last tho
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/DixonFall2016/results/all#e333bf
But Brandon was the only other person to get 2 successes.

Other accomplishments, 2/2 MBLD 20:13.25 outside with people kinda watching.
Also 3BLD pb fail: DNF[4:01(sub-3)] by 3 corners.
Audio edges are way faster but so much less accurate.
I want a sub-5.

7:21.33 4bld pb! With corner comms too!!

would have been sub50 mo3 and avg5 if I didn't flip the wrong edge, undoing that and flipping the right edge on the last one

I've managed to get a few sub-1 mo3's so far, but this is the best one

39/42 in 56:58 [33:48]

MBLD PB! 36 points! awesome time as well

all three cubes were exec mistakes (overshot a turn probably on 2 of them)

stats:

Memo: 33:48
Exec: 23:10
memo per cube: 48.28
exec per cube: 33.09
total per cube: 1:21

can fit 44 in one hour at this speed
