Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I see everyone posts their 4x4 breakdowns, so...
this weeks hungarian weekly competition's first scramble:
orientation: 0:03 (if you'll see the scramble you'll understand:D)
edges memo: 1:43
corner memo: 0:05
centers memo: 1:30 (total memo: 3:21)
blindfold on: 0:02
centers solve: 1:51 (I had a small mistake to track back)
corners+corner parity: 0:13
edges+edges parity: 1:55 (small recall delay)
total: 7:22.48

scramble:
1. L' R' F r2 R2 B2 F R2 F2 D' U' L' U F' L U r2 D' f D' U' f' u2 B' U2 L' F U2 B' U2 B R f' F u R' U2 R2 f' u2
 
I figure I might as well join the bandwagon on the 4x4x4 BLD breakdowns ;)

Scramble: L' F' U' F' Uw2 B2 D' B' Fw2 Uw' Rw Fw Uw2 F Rw' U2 L2 Rw D R' B U2 F' Uw' R' Fw2 Uw' B2 D Uw2 U2 Rw B' F' U' Rw Fw U2 B2 F'

1) 06.69 orient the cube
2) 1:02.03 Memorize centers
3) 1:17.98 Memorize edges
4) 11.64 Memorize corners
5) 21.45 Solve corners (with the exception of parity)
6) 1:23.86 Solve centers
7) 09.02 Fix corner parity
8) 1:26.72 Solve edges
9) Place cube down, stop timer, take off blindfold, and make smiley face like this -> :D (priceless) ;)

Total memorization time: 2:38.34
Total solving time: 3:21.05
Total overall time: 5:59.39

HEY!!!!!!!
Btw, Nice work Chris.

I just solve the 3x3x3 rubik's cube blindfolded for the first time!!!!!!!!!!
I ownly roughly timed using my watch, (I didn't want time to distract me) Memorization- 7 minutes, 30 seconds.
Excecution- 5 mins, 30 seconds.
Total time=13 minutes!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! etc...
 
Apparently I pwn at multiBLD with 3 cubes :D

The current top 3 times for 3/3 in the WCA database are:
Guillain Potron 11:54
Bertalan Bodor 14:01
Andy Tsao 15:40

I had a 3/3 in 7:52 in competition today :eek: STACKMAT!

I use a really crappy method for multiBLD called 3OP + M2 where I flip M-slice edges at the end. 4 sets of information per cube = BAD for multiBLD. So today, I really wanted to get a 3/3, so I went really slow during memo, double checked the edges and triple checked the corners for the first two cubes, did the third cube like a normal BLD solve, but slightly slower, and went back to finish the first two with slow turning, just to be safe. That was it. That was my fifth ever attempt at multi BLD. The first two were done more than a year ago so they really don't mean anything. The third one was a couple of weeks ago - it was a 2/3 in about 12 minutes. The fourth one was less than a week ago - it was my first 3/3 in 8:45. And today's attempt was my fifth.

With all this information in mind, I think sub-5 on 3 cubes is very possible with some hard work and changing to a better method. I'm going to start working on it once I'm free enough :rolleyes:

Just to show how slow I went during memo, I actually remember all my edges for the first two cubes even until now:
1. PVBMJW KDRGF - a pervert bombed a Jew, a kid in rags farted
2. RVONBT HJELC - reverend on a boat, then it got hijacked by an elc (I don't know what an elc is, but I was kinda picturing an elf...)

No I don't have letter pairs or images or anything memorized, I just make these up on the fly as I go through the letters.

Hm, I don't know but it doesn't seem so.

"1. PVBMJW KDRGF - a pervert bombed a Jew, a kid in rags farted

You got your images...put them on a route or make a story.
There is no better and easier method than that.
 
First 3x3 success! I wasn't timing but I'd guess it took around twenty minutes total. I was really surprised when I saw it was a success because I felt that my memorization was off(compared to previous attempts). Has anyone else experienced this?
