Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Jude]

Yeahhhhh!! 4x4x4 BLD on my 4th ever attempt. Scramble was number 3 of this week's competition, and the time was 34:35 (21:14 memo). Memorised completely visually, and solved with commutators for centres, r2 for edges and Old Pochmann for corners (in that order). So thanks Mike Hughey, Erik Akkersdijk and Stefan Pochmann for the guides I learnt from, and thanks Ville, Tomasu, Joey, Dan etc who helped me in the chat ^_^

I'M SO HAPPY!!!

EDIT:

@Jude: Great work, but who's the guy in the background? He almost doesn't move .

Don't know if it's worth mentioning, but i did 4/4 in 9:30. Memo was 5:00. I'm quite happy with the time, since i'm kinda out of practice.

 

[Jude]

Tim: It's my dad. I don't know why he wanted to watch, I told him it would be boring but he insisted His reaction was even better than mine when I saw it was solved

Edit: Also, 4/4 in 9:30 not worth mentioning?! I've only managed 2/2 in under 10 minutes once!

 

[Ville Seppänen]

Good job Jude!

(Does anyone else think he looks a bit like Matyas?)

I got this a couple days ago for weekly comp, I don't know if anyone noticed since I edited it there later, but:
5x5x5BLD: 8:49.58

x) Nice one, Pisti.
Ville, I thought you are faster on memo, and slower on solve. by the way, why don't you get a normal cube, and sub4 times with that?

 

[Ville Seppänen]

Yeah, usually I memo faster, execute slower, but I memorised well(read as slow) to get a success on camera. Then when executing it was very easy to think ahead, my edges didn't have much pause.

[Jude]

Good job Jude!

(Does anyone else think he looks a bit like Matyas?)

I know I already said this on the chat, but perhaps I am a cubing-reincarnation of him. I mean, it all adds up-

• I look like him
• I got my first cube on 27th February, the day after Matyas got banned!
• I was looking under the blindfold in my 4x4x4 video

P.S. For those of you unfortunate enough to be born without a sarcasm detector, the last point was a joke

EDIT: Oh yeah Ville, steal my thunder why don't you, your solve is faster than mine even though mine is sped up x4 (Congratulations )

 

[Mike Hughey]

I was actually thinking Ville looked like Mátyás, especially in the most recent 4x4x4 BLD video.

Anyway, congrats to Ville, Jude, and Tim.

 

[CharlieCooper]

awesome! so I have just got an immense pyraminx bld time, 33.85

i have been practising quite a bit recently, this solve was part of the regular pyraminx weekly competition. easy start, and i speed bld. good solve, very happy! vid to follow

4 cubes blindfolded. Mean of 3:
9:30(5:00) 9:16(5:05) 9:12(5:00) = 9:20(5:01)

Too cool! I like the way you averaged the memo time as well.

Now I want to see an "as many as you can do in an hour" mean of 3.

Mhh, I've got no idea how many cubes i can do in an hour. Maybe 3 times 6. I'll give it a try this weekend .

 

[martijn_cube]

New PB 3x3 bld.
2:40.63 (1:30)
Bit lucky though. 2 edges and 2 corners in place.

 

[Jude]

Pyraminx BLD average:
50.84, (39.56+), 56.25+ , (58.02), 49.83 = 52.31

and here is the whole session:
49.72, 43.84, DNF, 45.31, DNF, 46.62, 54.86, DNF, DNF, 51.06, DNF, 40.98+, DNF, DNF, DNF, 50.84, (39.56+), 56.25+, 58.02, 49.83, (58.97), DNF, DNF

I also got 4 sub 40s on camera but none better than my PB (35.14, I'm not counting the 16 second one) so I didn't bother uploading.

I did however, upload an average I took a couple of weeks ago but didn't want to post because it isn't very good. Alas, I posted it as I can't be bothered to beat it right now

EDIT: Congratulations Charlie! It's nice to finally have some competition at this event

 

[VirKill]

2/2 multi 8:34:45 (6 minutes memo)
followed by
1/3 multi 20:12.37 (14 minutes memo)
1st cube : 2 edge flipped
2nd cube: solved
3rd cube: BAD DNF

I need more cube.... I think I can handle 4-5 cube. But I should work on accuracy first.

 

[martijn_cube]

What do you use for memo now Virkill, pao?
I find it hard to memo multiple cubes. gets confused. so i'm gonna try to make latterpair words. 2 cubes i can manage now, but my memo is like 10 minutes then.
