First team BLD succes with my 5 y/o daughter as caller.

Old Pochman style so she is actually learning a BLD method without realising it...
She uses my mental images too, she already knows about half of them and is even making some up of her own if my images are too abstract for her.

Next goal: to get a team BLD without calling any sticker colors, only images.

:tu This is totally awesome! Can't wait to hear continued updates on how this is going!

52 card gives you about 3 cubes worth of memo, but each image has more info... you should be able to do 3 or 4 without too much difficulty!

A scrambled deck of cards has the same amount of information as ln(52!) / ln(43252003274489856000) = 3.458 cubes.

4:39 3x3 bld solve with parity. I haven't had a successful solve with no parity yet.

That's great, it's really good to see you posting in this thread. :tu
What method/s are you using for memorising and execution?

 

[pappas]

I just followed Erik Limebacks tutorial exactly, but I orientate corners differently. I was using 3op but I found it harder.

WHHOOO!!!
After 3 days of trying and researching classic pochmann I finally did my first BLD solve!!!
I am soooo exited!

 

[amostay2004]

52.36, 40.72, DNF(1:03.59), 55.25, 1:06.76 = 58.12 avg5. It's about time >_>

Failed too many times before this to get a sub-1 avg5 so this time I went slightly safer on the last solve. Also 40.72 is non-lucky PB

Scramble: L D U L2 D' F2 U F2 L F R' B' U2 F D' B2 R' D' B' U' F R U F' R'

3:00 3x3 bld solve. My next best solve isn't even sub 4min so yeah it's a big pb.

Congratulations on your first BLD solve!

That's very impressive. :tu

WTF, your improving way too fast. That's insane.

2:49

By far my best. I've started not reviewing my memo a million times and have slowly been improving my times, very satisfied so far.

 

[riffz]

1:26.30 new PB while on the GO train coming home from work.

I did a 1:03 DNF afterward, off by a 3 cycle of edges. I would post that in the Failures thread, but it still feels like an accomplishment for me even though I didn't get it, as it's a testament to the fact that I'm improving. I'll get there eventually.

 

[amostay2004]

55.59, 1:00.79, 1:02.66, DNF(1:19.11), 1:05.55, 1:02.47, 49.95+, DNF(1:27.59), 54.36, 1:13.77, DNF(1:06.31), 50.22, 59.11
= 59.45 mean of 10/13.

DNFed twice after that so let's leave it at 13. Probably my highest success rate in a session ever, and some of those scrambles were pretty terrible. The first time since I used freestyle that I didn't reset the session after like 6 solves Best avg5 was only 1:00 though

 

[Engberg91]

Success!!!
First time a solve a 3x3 BLD =D

EDIT: I did it again =D
EDIT: WTF???? third time

 

[Mike Hughey]

Finally got a lucky case square-1 solve (already square): 2:51.41 (1:06 memorization)!

I took it kind of slow because I missed it the last time I got lucky enough to get a square scramble, and I didn't want to blow it again. Still, I suspect I'm capable of a sub-2:30, but not much better than that (unless a bunch of pieces are already solved). This one was non-lucky other than the shape and no parity.

Scramble:

****. My pb is 3:15. I tried practising 3bld earlier, I need to do it more often, I was still memoing at 3m and gave up. I completely forgot corners, and then when re-memoing corners forgot edges. Also, I keep forgetting what letters correspond with which sticker

 

[Simboubou]

Another sub-1, 52.XX this morning ! I'll try to do whole session to see what I can do. I hope to get a 70-75 AVG.

 

[Zane_C]

You only recently got your first one, I can see much improvement coming. :tu

3:10.41 3BLD on video. :O PB by 1:31! :O

Oh, the video wasn't the first one ! Once, I did three sub1 in a row !
And I still have to switch to a faster Edges method. It's gonna be cool !
