Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I decided to give it another shot.

1:51.88(52.31), 1:19.92(35.92), 1:51.94(40.11), DNF, DNF, DNF, 1:21.47(30.70), 1:33.68(52.60), 2:13.80(1:16.02), DNF, DNF, 2:08.63(1:17.49), DNF, DNF, DNF, 2:21.11(1:13.84), 1:32.11(31.75), 1:49.70(55.81), 1:54.17(59.57), DNF, DNF, DNF, 2:14.22(1:24.61), 2:18.59(1:12.68), DNF

Number of solves: 13/25. That's more than half. But I still haven't convinced myself to get back into BLD :o

Curiously enough, my memorization:execution ratio was 51:49 this time round.
 
Ok. I am the president of the Shelley Chang fan club. To apply answer the following questions:

1) What is the difference between a duck?

2) What do you mean, African or European?

3) Do you weigh more than a duck?

4) What is The Matrix?

5) What is the determinant of The Matrix?

6) Favorite kind of cake?

How those things are even related to her? :fp
Now I really agree with Maarten, this is inappropriate.
You should post it somewhere else, or just don't post anything at all.
 
8:26, i didn't even plan on trying again (i'd been failing for weeks and had pretty much given up) but then when i was going to sleep i was bored and thought what the heck and gave it a try and i actually got it xD i pretty much screamed, stefan pochmann is a god

I hate to let someone who "doesn't do BLD" outdo me on effort, so I decided to give it a try:

2:42.48, 2:16.89, 2:16.17, DNF, 2:04.20, 2:01.58, DNF, 2:06.23, 1:58.94, DNF, 2:07.65, 2:01.30, DNF, 1:56.41, 2:08.18, 1:53.92, DNF, 2:14.66, 2:18.77, 1:41.14, DNF, 2:27.34, 1:26.76, 1:41.83, DNF

Number of solves: 18/25. Sorry, I didn't keep track of memorization time, but I stay pretty close to my average of 50 seconds most of the time on memorization - execution varies much more than memorization for me.

So I got more solves, but I'm definitely slower than you. By my calculation, your average on the successful solves was 1:53.17; mine was 2:04.69.

That 1:26.76 was my second fastest time ever, which was nice.

@Chuck: See, I told you once you got a little rest you'd beat your PB. Congratulations! I suspect sub-15 is coming sometime in the next week. And a few days after that, you're due for a really fast one: let's guess sub-12?

Thank you, Mike. Yes, I've realized that taking average of 12 on 4x4x4 BLD is not a wise way to practice like 3x3x3, it's rather torturing. :fp

There's a good chance that Indonesia will have another official competition on December/January. I've requested the Indonesian WCA Delegate to have 4x4x4 BLD as an event. The problem is, right now in Indonesia there's only 2 persons excluding me that can do 4x4x4 BLD, and they had only 1 successful solve so far :(

Maybe if any of you 4x4x4 BLD solver could come to Indonesia and participate, that would be awesome :D :D :D But I guess it's impossible haha *sigh*

EDIT:
Maarten, now I remember... You said on my "Fun Cubing at Borobudur Temple" thread that you will go to Indonesia sometime next year. Is it true? When you will go exactly and on what occassion? Indonesian cuber will be glad to have your visit. :)

That would be awesome! But I don't think we'll be able to come anytime soon, sorry.

Anyway, I went the same route you did - in order to have people to compete against, I taught them. So keep teaching people and you'll have plenty! :)

And I do hope to try an average of 12 on 4x4x4 BLD someday.
