1:46.16, (1:27.65), (DNF), 1:42.03, 1:51.68=1:46.62 av. Not great, but I haven't done an a5 in a while, so not bad.

This is probably more of a failure then an accomplishement:

5x5 centers BLD, off by a 3 cycle.

B' [l U2 l'] E2 [l U2 l'] E2 B

333 BLD : 1:00'03 Yesterday. I am gonna kill myself.

I knew that would happen.

You're already better than me. After what, a few weeks?

Congratulations - awesome job - you're getting quite good.

Uhh, no

I don't really practice BLD much/at all. I just tried to memo really fast, and it worked

 

[SimonWestlund]

YES!!!!

First successful 5x5 BLD solve!!

31:05.56

First scramble of the weekly competition 2010 15

Awesome!!

Awesome!!

Congrats! Now you'll win by even more . Got the memo time?

Actually, I don't I checked the memo time, remembered all my memo.. but forgot what the memotime was Maybe it was just a little too much to memorize

It was a little bit over 20 minutes though. I'm really slow at the +-centers recall and solving..

If you think you're slow at solving...my times are generally 15 min memo and 15 min solve. I'm too slow at figuring the comms because I'm not very experienced at big cube bld relative to a lot of other people (~40 4bld attempts and ~20 5bld). Keep the good bld-ing up!

the only accomplishment i can mention is that my friend and i team-bld solved his LanLan 2x2x2... :fp it took like 1 minute

You've reminded me of my only recent bld accomplishment. Teambld avg12 47.13 and 37.89 single with my brother solving (he averages 30 secs) using push/pull F2L and 2 look OLL

Arghhhhh
current avg5: 1:30.73 (σ = 4.85)
best avg5: 1:23.34 (σ = 2.31)

current avg12: 1:30.42 (σ = 9.19)
best avg12: 1:30.42 (σ = 9.19)

I wanted to have a really big streak of successes
Ah well... The last one I missed an R somewhere. it was off by R' and all the corners in the R layer were messed up.

 

[Isbit]

First succesful solve with M2 for edges, time was 2:15. Lucky scramble though, 10 edges and 6 corners.

 

[ben1996123]

I want sub 5

 

[NoobCube]

Few weeks ago, started trying to do it properly. Two edges were flipped one time, two corners rotated another, but finally done and did it in public at school as well. To make myself the coolest guy there

The last four-five months or so (since Swedish Open in early December) I have not accomplished any results to speak of (as regards to blindcubing).

I have soon been blindcubing for two years, but up till last December I had only learned new methods, new algorithms (in order classic P, M2, BH-corners and finally a home-made variant of BH-edges). All the time relying on good memory and "silly sentences". With all the relevant algorithms in the bag so to speak, I set out to do something about memory technique. So I have collected and learned some 1500-1600 pictures for all (almost) letter pairs. (Actually I have collected 3000 plus but discarded almost half of them). From the start I set out with 22x20x3, but that is suitable only for a 3x3 cube. Now I have almost full 24x24x3, as I don't even have a fixed buffer for larger cube centers.

I am trying to make sentences with Person - Action - Object (of those pictures a third of each are P / A / O) without having to stumble of the spur of the moment imagination to come up with appropriate words.

What has come out of all these efforts? Actually not very much. I find these a little awkward to use, all actions obviously does not suit all objects. Also the Swedish alphabet is uneven in letter frequency (I have skipped Q and Ä all together) so I have had a real hard time to find persons with names for letter pairs with Å / Ö. I have had to borrow some English words and have invented new words for "Male Giant", Sledge Hammer, Sledge Hammering and so on.

Anyway, using this have added some 30-50% to my memo time, so I now average 2:15- 2:30 for 3x3. On 5x5BLD it has added 2-3 minutes to memo time. So in a way this post belongs to the Blindfolded Failure Thread or perhaps to Memory Technique Thread ? (Or Memory Failure Thread )

But here is the accomplishment: it has been good for Multi, I have had an easy time memorizing Multi lately. But has been somewhat sloppy in execution. Today though, with the memo going easier than before I had lots of time for a slow and accurate execution, so I made 7/7 in 51:09.
