The blindfold race!

[Yes We Can!]

What's the rule for round 1 now?
Best of n, and n<12 where you have to succeed on n/2 of the solves? I'm kinda confused and I want to do the solves now
To know the format is crucial for the solving strategy...

Right now it's just best of 5. The scrambles are posted some pages back (by ubercuber I think, lazy to check =p)

I think Amo's format is okay, but, wouldn't it be a mess?

I don't know who you're talking about, but regarding Amos' format I don't think it would get too messy.

I'll probably start the thread after this round I guess, if I remember =p

Round 1:
1:23.74, (1:02.97), 1:04.81, DNF, (DNF)

Good. The DNFs were 58 and 1:05, both pretty scrambled and thus execution mistakes.

Round 1:

DNF(53.72), DNF(1:19.78), 1:31.67, 1:19.93, DNF(1:10.76) = 1:19.93

Comment: I need to start practising again, first one was off by 3 edges.

im learning to blind fold cube - tell me if im doing well i know the method i am using you have to remember the numbers and i know how to orientate the corners and edges but i dont get the permution stage any suggestions?

Maybe you should ask in the BLINDFOLD AREA next time.
Also, what are you trying to say?

DNF(3:20.61), DNF(5:53.36)[5C], DNF(4:38.83), DNF(5:14.14)
I gave up at 4 DNF's
I only have 2 total successes anyway

 

[nlCuber22]

I'll probably join.. I wanted to learn M2/R2 anyway.

The first and last ones, my two DNFs, were the easy scrambles. So sad. On the first one, I got confused in the middle of an algorithm, which caused the DNF and also slowed me down terribly. It would have been close to sub-1 except for that. And the last one was really easy too, but I forgot the last image, and apparently I messed it up anyway. Both DNFs were pretty scrambled.

Best = 39.49

lol..awesome ending. Thing is..it would have been terrible in a best of 3 format >_>

So is everyone happy with the current best of 5 format?

 

[Faz]

Really slow and bad, except for the 56.

56.48, DNF(1:10.80), 1:22.08, DNF(1:20.11), DNF(1:12.86) = 56.48

 

[aronpm]

DNF(39.68), DNF, 39.16, 49.63, 35.11 => 35.11 best single

 

[Zane_C]

Wouldn't it be easier for people if the new scrambles were edited into the first post?

Round 1:
1:33.61, 1:05.09, DNF, 1:17.81, 52.44

Best time = 52.44

Comment: Very good single for me.

 

[Keroma12]

Round 1

DNF (2:49.01), 3:28.52, 2:49.54, DNF (2:46.64), 3:19.83

1st I did a D move by accident halfway through; 8 pieces off. 4th I cycled 3 corners wrong and had 2 flipped edges. Great to be getting sub3s.

 

[RyanReese09]

I should do this tonight. I should. I should.

I'll do it tomorrow morning

Results:

~~

times (reset):
2:27.67[pb!!], DNF(1:22.71)[messed up on corners, gave up], 2:27.60[DNF, off by 5 edges. 3 of which cycled on M slice. 2 flipped], DNF(2:52.57)[didn't do parity. 2 corners twisted], 1:55.61[memo 58 execution the rest.FIRST SUB2 ;D]

Good beginning by breaking pb first solve, then messed up a lot. THen the sub2 came outa nowhere. No recall delays at all..very strange.
