Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

The scramble is just awesome and incredible so i can't say 36.xx is my PB, i recorded it because i knew that the scramble was easy and i wanted a sub1 ^^ and yes i have a wca profile, i've just updated it. I didn't get good results in competition but i have good hopes for the next one :)

Not cubing related, but simular memo-wise. Just memorised a randomly shuffled deck of cards. Just like 5 cubes multi, took about 25 minutes to memo (I wasn't constantly memorising). The system I used is far from original, just 52 images placed in locations, I would probably be using the same pairs/images each time:
Spade (S), Clubs (C), Heart (H), Diamonds (D)
Cards 1-10 had letters A-J
Jack - "Z, U"
Queen - "Q, Y, V"
King - "K"
If I had a suit with the same card letter I'll just change the letter to an "x" (eg. 8 of hearts would be (H, X) instead of (H, H), the corrosponding image would thus be hacksaw.)

Stefan and me did a successful team solve blindfolded! It took us 21:26 minutes to solve one cube (including 8 minutes memo).
The rules were
- No communication (also during memo)
- Each person is only allowed to do one move at a time (QSTM, quarter slice turn metric)
- Each person must be blindfolded during execution
- Each person must be awesome.

We choosed QSTM, since double moves are basically communication (You can hear the difference).

Video is coming soon :). I'm so happy now :).

I recently tried memorizing a deck of cards for my first time a little over a week ago. Forgot to post it here. My time was 16 minutes.

Nice to see you followed all of the rules perfectly - especially the last one!
 
3BLD: 6:00.03 [3:2x]! Improvised letter pairs, giving me 3 PAO sets instead of 7; felt very confident.

BLD is actually so much fun :)
 
YAY! Just got my first BLD solve (3X3)! So happy :)
Had about 7 attempts over the last week, sometimes with just a few cubies off, sometimes with a complete mess at the end... the problem I had was I had no idea where I was going wrong... I should have practised more while looking at what I was doing, but those attempts failed too, so I just went all for it.
22mins 14sec, so I won't be beating any records any time soon :)

YAY! Victory dance! (quietly, as the kids are asleep)

Riffz, not sure if you got any other comments on this, but that's awesome! Do you think card memorizing is something that you will try to improve? Or were you just doing this for fun?

Thanks. I would like to improve on it, but I am worried that my current memorization will not work for many attempts in a short span of time. I used the same images that I use for BLD, with one per card, where the first letter was the suit and the second was the number/type. Having one image per card means that each new attempt will have the exact same 52 images in a different journey, and I can definitely see this causing problems. Ben Pridmore said he has an image for each pair of cards, but that would work out to 2652 images, which I am not prepared to put together. (I also have no idea how I would go about associating each image to a pair of cards.)

I may try to think of an alternative somewhere in the middle, but I haven't put much thought to it yet.
 
The method I was thinking about: 3 letters (1 image) for 2 cards. Each location uses 2 to 4 images (not difficult really), so about 8 locations? Not much to memo.

The first letter is one out of 16 combinations for the two suits. The second and third letters are the number of the card.

The hardest part is the letter triplets :P

I was already thinking about that, but I didn't like the idea of using letter triplets for one image. I guess I could use this to memo 4 cards per 3 images, though.
 
Memorized all 151 Pokemon in order. Now I can't get them out of my locations. Help.
