Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[ThePizzaGuy92]

two new things for me to be proud of:
3:51 BLD solve [mmmm, yeah baby!]
and
50.91 PLL time attack [I'm averaging like 56, so wtf happened? lol]

 

[alexc]

1:26.53 3x3 bld while racing joey.

 

[joey]

55.06 OLL Lucky. First sub-60 sec solve!

Racing me =p (i got a 1:13.64 BLD!)

 

[MiloD]

2:20.86 nonlucky BLD

I was long overdue for a pb.

I also have a couple of sub-2's now from other people's scrambles that I knew were easy or lucky.

I hate how some people solve other people's scrambles that they KNOW are very easy and count it as their PB. I will never do that, I will only count a scramble as my PB if it is one that I don't know it is easy beforehand and is not lucky.

Argh, just 3 weeks till German Open and i'm still not in shape... :/

I agree but still think it is fun to do other people's scrambles. I also try to place the cube randomly when I do BLD so I have to find "home base" when I pick it up(for me white on top blue in front) just to make it completely legit.

I actually don't do that, but I will start doing that now.

First sub 20 average on Mar 28
First sub 2 4x4 single
and a new Bld PB (in sig)

 

[alexc]

I learned r2 so I decided to try a 4x4 bld solve. Total time was probably somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes. Memo was around 15. It was a DNF. I was off by 4 edges and 11 centers. I really screwed up the centers cause I just used visual memory which I found near impossible to recall accurately. (I will make a lettering scheme for them soon.) I accidentally missed a 4 edge cycle, so that's why I was off by 4 edges.

6 hours 13 minutes, 48.87 seconds 3x3 BLD
[snip]...[/snip]
As Eidolon said, sleep-delayed BLD! Now.. whose ready to tackle sleep-delayed multibld or sleep-delayed big cube bld?

7 hours, 49 minutes, 49.93 seconds 3x3 BLD
This time I only memorised for 2 minutes, as opposed to 10 minutes like last time.

I think I should try 24 hour BLD next.

[tim]

5x5x5 bld, 18:29 minutes, off by just a few pieces... (cycled some centers the wrong way and forgot to memorize two flipped edges) :/

7:17 memo. I'm not sure, if i'll ever get a successful attempt...

Joey: what about a one year BLD?

Sorry about the DNF, you WILL get one soon. (I'll come beat you until you do >_>) You are getting faster though, so I assume your first success will be around 15mins

Maybe 1 year BLD with images + journey or some such memo method, but 1 year with visual, thats crazy! 24 hours next, then maybe one week BLD! Would be pretty funny (I'd probably spent an hour or so memoing lol)

 

[MiloD]

didn't mike h. already do a sleep delayed 4x4?

 

[joey]

didn't mike h. already do a sleep delayed 4x4?

Only after I spurred him on And that was after one night only!

 

[alexc]

4/6 2x2 multi bld. Really easy, the wrong cubes were only off by misoriented corners. Memo was about 9:30, total time I am not sure, probably around 12-14 minutes.


Also, 2:00.50 3x3 bld average. (3/5)

 

[tim]

Got 48 catches for the usual 3 ball cascade blindfolded. (I donned the blindfold before i started juggling)


And a 1:31 average of 12 blindfolded. That was fast enough to beat Joey .

 

[alexc]

2 blindfolded relays:

1 2x2 cube and 1 3x3 cube

2 2x2 cubes and 1 3x3 cube

These are really fun, I want to do harder ones with more 3x3s and 4x4 in the future.

Nice job! That's the same as my personal best (which is several years old). I didn't use a blindfold, though - I just closed my eyes. So I guess yours is better.

And very nice close attempts on your multiBLDs lately. You're truly amazing.
