Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

first try at a 5x5 BLD: DNF in 31:02, 5 +- and 4 x-centers off.
I'm so happy that I was anywhere near a solved cube. The +-centers are a bit hard, but it'll improve with a few more solves.

Memo was 14:50-15:00 something, I went really slow during execution.

Success in a couple of weeks is entirely possible

Well, I finished what (I think) is my first ever 3x3 BLD average of 5 solves.

Average of 5: 1:33.67
1. (1:26.99) U' L2 U R D2 L' B' R B' U F R' D' R D2 L2 U R'
2. 1:31.96 B R2 U' L' F' L' D2 B F L B' R U R B' D' L U'
3. (DNF) B D2 R' U' F R' L2 B' D2 R D' F2 R D' B2 U B R' D' L F2 L R2 B' D2
4. 1:28.67 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 F B2 R' F2 D' L2 U2 B2 D' R U2 B2 D2 R B2 R2 L2 B2 D'
5. 1:40.37 L R U2 D2 R2 F' D' R F' R' U2 R' D' L' U' R2 U2 L' U F L' U B R L2

The first two scrambles were from Weekly Comp 17. On the DNF, I forgot to solve the last two edges, and I twisted two corners in the wrong direction.

Great job Aron.

Cool, with memory like that I think once your've mastered 4x4 BLD you should maby try 5x5. I would love to do 5x5 BLD but I know my memory is nowhere near good enough.

[Edit] Second 4x4 BLD success: 27:51.18
Such a crappy time, I will work on my memory by doing multi BLD I think.

At least you had success. Come on, you'll get faster.

Motivation:

Spoiler

You really need to be sub 10 by next comp for chance of AuR now that Aron will probably sub 10 his first success and even if Aron DNFs, Matt is sub 15 (not quite sure what he averages, but afaik he's sub 15 too. Practise!

Yay! Another 5bld-er! Nice attempt - the + centres are hardest at first because you're used to x centres from 4bld. My first 5bld attempt was over an hour so that's nice speed already . Just keep trying and you'll get one...and then another...and soon you'll have an official time

EDIT: Pyra bld first attempt 5:53.34 [3:20.71]. This was pretty easy. I didn't figure out/try anything before going for an attempt. I guess the first 2 mins of my memo was just thinking about how to do it bld. I think sub-2 should be easy within a few attempts.

3x3 BLD average of 5: 1:55.64
1:40.15
(2:37.44)
2:08.13
1:58.65
(1:37.80)

It's very "unusual" for me to have 5 successful solves in a row without any break (I mean I only stopped for scrambling). I'm happy I got one, and it's sub2! If you want the scrambles I have them, but they weren't special.

I tried to do an avg12 but I failed the 8th with forgetting the parity, and also failed the 9th with doing an unnecessary parity... FAIL

Uhh no. My memo is as fast as haiyan's full solve. My exe is as fast as haiyan's full solve.

You don't average like 1:10.... At least I hope not

I was averaging about that a few hours ago Only got 2/10 solves though.

Using M2 with one hand would just drive me crazy...

10:43.62 on 4x4BLD. My memo is getting faster. I think the splits were something like 6-7/4. Soon I can start using the stackmat.

 

[DaijoCube]

I successfully did a 2x2x2 BLD in front of all my group (we are going on a trip to Costa Rica in January) and it was my best time of memo and execution.

Congratulations again

It is like the fifth PB in three weeks or so?

Something like that.

I hope you mean the method.
