New PB on 3x3x3 BLD: 1:38.53 :)

I even took a picture of my timer :D

5x5x5 BLD: 14:25.24 (6:52), on the third scramble this week!

Which means I beat Chris on time two weeks in a row in the weekly competition! (And I even beat Rafal, although that's just because he DNFed all 3).

Thanks so much, Chris, for inspiring me to do this. I'm still nowhere near as fast as you on average, but it's tremendous fun to actually be able to be competitive with you occasionally now!

By the way, Chris still pwns me every week on 4x4x4 BLD.
 
3x3 MultiBLD: 3/4 (27:xx) (memo 19:xx)
Third cube was off by 2 edges and 2 corners.
Done on the first four scrambles of the weekly comp.

3x3 BLD:
I tried going for full speed on two solves:
DNF (1:42:xx)(memo = 43), DNF (1:46:xx)(memo = 53)
First cube was off by 2 flipped edges and 2 misoriented corners, second one by an F perm.

EDIT: I'm really happy with the times though, and by how close they were DNF's. (that's why in the blindfold accomplishment thread)

EDIT 2: 3x3 Multi: 3/3 in 13:47 (6:43)
Really good for me.

Thanks, Fazrulz :)

I made it by doing digital-printing on a customized mousepad.

I've sold many of it on Indonesian speedcubing forum StackPad: Personalized Cubing Pad. Anybody can send me his photo and I'll turn it into a stack mat in 1 day. :) I've made it for Maria "crazycubemom" Oey, Ton Dennenbroek, Lars Vandenbergh, Arnaud, and Conor Baumann.
 
4:32.54 3x3 BLD with Old Pochmann. 2 edges were solved. I am very happy and hope I will do the same thing in Toronto on Saturday.:)

Scramble: F B R F2 B' L2 R B2 D2 U' R2 U R B' R' D2 R' D R2 D' B' D L2 F D

Yay, 3/3 multi BLD. 16:08 the time was, all scrambles had parity :(. Thanks Josh for inspiring me to take it seriously :D. Used letters for edges and visual for corners, my usual memo method. Now I just need to create routes for the journey method :)
Scrambles:
1. U' R2 U B R B' F' R2 F L U2 R2 F2 U B2 L2 U F B2 D F R' U' R B
2. B F2 R' U2 B' F' R D2 L R2 F' U D' L' B' U' B' U2 R' L F B2 R2 L U2

YAYAYA!! Just got a successful corners only BLD solve first time I've tried :)

Pure visual memo for corners... Good times. Mega happy :D :D

I've only started looking into blind this week.
 
yipeee!

im starting to get sub 4 all the time and my best time was 3.36 .I think i cud redce my time by a huge diff if i use M@ for edges rather than old pochmann.
 
I finally got an official BLD success at the Canadian Open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:18.xx +2, I got excited near the end, and didn't finish the last move
I was in 2nd place, but there were 2 rounds of BLD, and since I DNF'd all 3 solves in the finals, I didn't place in top 3 :p

I did horribly in some of the other events, but I'm soooo happy that I finally got a BLD success after 12 DNFs in a row (and it wasn't a bad time :D)

Do you know how muuch it would cost (USD) to make one and send it to the states?
 
Yay! First edges only Blind solve!
my memo was 12:xx minutes, and I wanted to aim for the whole cube, but decided that I still didnt have enough knowledge of corners to go ahead. So I just solved edges, and I DID IT!!!!
Execution time was about 3 minutes, so it wasn't that bad. =) Time to get seriou s into corners. =) I'll post it on youtube.

Edit: I had decided that I would do edges only about 8 minutes after trying to memorize the edges. so total time was 26:xx. Yeah. I suck at corners.
 
My accuracy must have gone up!

Two successful 5x5 BLD solves in a row, the last one being my first sub30 :D

1: 30:43.xx (memo ~ 18 min)
2: 28:41.13 (memo ~15 min)

They were actually my second and third successful solves ever.
 
I decided to do a blindfold solve on the bus today. It was so wonderful!

I was memorizing everything so fast (for me), and my recollection was quick and I was turning the cube as fast as I could without delays.

It was an easy solve with no edges or corners to be flipped, although with parity. I swear it was under a minute!

It was an awesome experience because my average is probably around 3 minutes due to my poor memory and recollection.
