Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

byu: So apparently no one believes you, so prove it or stop posting insane times. We will see for certain at Berkeley anyway. Until then I suggest you practise a lot so you can back up your claims because no one is going to believe any excuses.

it was awesome to take off that blindfold and see a solved cube

It sure is!

Actually i believe all his times, i just don't believe his 8.5s memo time with images. I'm using images for a while now and know (through experience and talking with "experts") how hard it is to get such a fast time. It took Ben about 0.5s/card for his speed cards world record. byu needed 0.53s/piece.

You misunderstood all of our posts.

Ok, it seems I did. However, I guess nobody will ever trust me, since I am terrible at competitions. I just can't handle the pressure. You can call me a liar if you wish. People have called me that many times.

You should get a video up on youtube. The most recent one has a 30s memo, so 8.5s is kind of doubtful.

I actually average 20 seconds for memo now, so I can't guarantee a sub-10 memo, but I will try after as I return from my spring break trip.Unfortunately, I have no way of proving the 8.5 memo. Also, though I don't think this matters, my pb solve did not have my pb memo I it. If you look a page earler, to see that they are separate

Don't take it personally, it's just that you posted a very very fast time, and people want proof that you're capable of it before they will believe it. A video would be great, anything under 15 seconds memo will probably do.

if you want to get under pressure and practice, do timed solves in front of your parents and friends. do one in front of the whole school for a talent show. thats what im going to do in 3 weeks

I LOVE blind tomorrow starts our spring break and ill have alot of time to do blind, so expect some more averages coming soon my goal is to get a sub 3 single on 3x3 blind next week.

Time for another prediction: betcha get a sub-3 single this week (meaning before Sunday).

pshht, i doubt it. my memo is so slow i think. its about 2 minutes. edges take me under a minute to a minute to memorize but corners i suck at memorizing i doubt i wont get a sub 3 for maybe 2 weeks.4x4 blind may help a little but im not sure. i need a new memo systym for corners. maybe i should get back to doing it the Limeback way.

I can definitely see you get faster than me in no time.
Do what I'm doing right now. Just scramble and practice the corners only. I did that before and got pretty good at it. But I've switched memo methods, so I'm bad at corners again.

i dont think ill get faster than you, your really good you use visual corners right? if you do then so do I, i really dont like it. and the only reason i am where i at now is because i practice blind way to much.everyday at school i make sure i get 3 succesful solves, then when i get home i do about 10 attempts a day, or try to atleast.like today i could only do 5 because i had a game. and i try and do alot of corners only stuff. but i suck at it

That is very interesting... I think we use the same methods and yet.... corners are SO MUCH easier for me. Corners can be anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds to memorize, while edges take 20 to 40 seconds to memorize.

yea we do use the same methods. but i suck at visual. its not bad for me for edges. but corners are just.......pathetic for me. I think im going back to the limeback way and just practice it alot.

Which was Dan Cohen's and Kai's PB at one point on speedcubing.com UWRs.
Very easy scramble. The key is that the letter pairs happen to make very easy sounds (actually real words! SUIJ= sewage ) in my edge memo system. Corners were also fairly easy shapes.
I got a 2:33 DNF on Simon's new PB scramble and 2:40 success on his previous PB scramble. They were OK, but not easy for my system. The sounds were horrible: I got stuff like QHGK

 

[byu]

what is your edge memo system?
