The blindfold race!

1:28.45, 1:42.47, 1:31.10, 1:39.69, 1:34.41 = 1:35.22

11/20 not that bad resultwise. I (also) think the format was rather good.
Only one memo sub-30 and that was too fast, got stuck when recalling.

Results week 25:
(and yes, there are a couple of hours left to compete if someone wants to
but I will not have time to post this tomorrow morning as planned so I do it now).

Mats, it is mean of best 5 solves right? Not that I would've gained or lost a place, but I calculated my mean as 45.30.

average of best 5 of up to 20 solves: 1:21.43

DNF [1:36.14], 1:51.76, 1:52.86, 1:54.31, 1:56.18, 1:27.16, 1:21.32, 1:52.25, 1:34.60, 1:20.87, 1:43.28, 1:33.78, 1:23.36, 1:44.04, 1:23.80, 1:17.81, 1:34.71, 1:31.96, 1:57.59, 2:05.01

Accuracy: 19 out of 20
Average 18/20: 1:40.49
I love the fact that I got a legitimate average of 20. I was disappointed, though, because of both the DNF at the beginning and the sup-2 solve at the end. I almost had all solves sub-2! I got nervous at the end, and as a result had trouble with the memo on the last two solves. The DNF was off by 3 edges: I memorized DR instead of CR.

I started slow because my most recent 3x3x3 other than this was a multi, and it always takes me a few solves to switch from multi mode into single mode. I'm always slower for a little while on 3x3x3 BLD after having done a multi.

@Mats: I love this format because it can be done at my speed entirely in less than an hour, yet it's enough to feel like it means something. As for 4 and 5 BLD, I'd love to but I'm not sure I have the time. I've been pretty bad about doing just 3 of each every week for a long time now, so I'm stagnating on those events.

Best average of 5 of up to 20: 4:38.78
1-5 - (5:14.10) 4:49.36 (3:33.60) 4:19.48 4:47.50
attempted 8 scrambles and DNFed 3
the 3:33 was a PB i seem to have gotten fast almost all solves and DNFs are sub 5
the DNFs were mostly cause of not seeing a flipped edge or corner or placing a corner wrong

Week 26

Best 5 solves out of 20:
1:05.30, 1:07.90, 1:14.12, 1:14.34, 1:16.19 = 1:11.57

just wondering i know how to solve BLD but havent had a success yet but can i still join?

Of course! It's good practice.

PB single and avg of 5 in there, fun to see some improvement without much practising

Last day everyone before the new round.

Just to know, was anyone thinking of doing the next round? I kinda wanted to do it but I've already done it fairly recently so if you want to do it claim it now or else I'll ninja it tomorrow .

Results week 26


WEEKLY BLD CONTEST
I intend to do it weekly Monday-Sunday (as long as no one hijack )

3BLD as now, 5 best of 20 (average/mean (but not a "speedcubing average")
Just the sum of the times of the five best solves / 5.
4BLD best 2 of 8 (avg/mean)
5BLD best of 4 (single best).
Participate in one, two or all three events

By average, do you mean take the solves and get the mean of them?

Oh my.... more big cube BLD solves.... Hmmmm...... I just may do these...
