Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[tim]

Also, how often do you other guys get these? I've had only 10 successful averages in the past year, even though I almost always will keep going and try for one if I get up to 6 or 7 with zero or one DNFs, to see if I can make it.

Good question. Since the German Open i had no dnf in 3x3x3 bld. But i think i haven't done more than 10 solves.

100 solves (all sub-2) is something to shoot for .

Just did my first ever complete BLD!! 10:12.02 (slow, but it's my first complete solve). I started learning on last Monday, and tried a few times over the past 2 days, but kept being off by 2-4 edge pieces. Finally!!!!

2:47.72 - just solving

memorization took me 7 minutes

I use 2 cycle

57.52 3x3 blindfolded. No question this time: it was non lucky. Four misoriented corners, two corners and zero edges correct. 21 s memo and 36 s execution. It was just hand scrambled.

Hand scrambled? That doesn't count!

Just kidding. Congratulations on getting under a minute. It must be so cool to be able to do that - I'm jealous.

Thanks, it is really cool to finally get the Holy Grail of blindfolded cubing.

OMG FIRST 3x3x3 BLD SOLVE!!!!!! xD

Yessssssssss!!!!!!! I finally got my first BLD solve!!! I've been getting close, but actually solving it. I think I was using the restrictions wrong or something... Well anyway, I was freaking out when I got that solve. It took me something like 8 minutes.

10:23.70 non lucky 4x4 blindfolded solve. Memo was ~5 minutes and there were 7 centers, one edge, and one corner solved.

Wow - faster and faster. Next stop: sub-10.

I'm curious, could you share the idea?

Umm, rubiks store cubies + rubiks diy.com kernel.

Oh der, it was a cube idea, not a secret blindfolded success technique.

Good grief - everyone's going sub-1 now. Awesome job, Dan!

At the US Open it will probably be necessary to be sub-1 to get on the podium.

In response to Dan's 55.02, I got a non lucky 52.15! Four misoriented corners, two permuted corners, and zero permuted edges. I can't believe I'm fourth place on the UWR list.

 

[masterofthebass]

Ok... sort of an accomplishment. (at least it wasn't a complete fail).

1/4 mutli BLD in 19:17.
Memorization was in 11:xx.
Mistakes:
1st cube: Mixed KJ with JK in my memorization.......
2nd cube: 2 flipped edges, which i failed at fixing at the end. Also mixed up these corners with the 4th ones.
3rd cube: NONE
4th cube: 2 flipped edges, and complete forgot corners (because i used them on the 2nd cube....)


Not really a bad attempt, but I'm definitely just going to do all the corners first next time. Remembering visual corners throughout the solve takes too much.

I have the solving on video if anyone really wants to see it.

Sorry, got 51.22 on it my first sub 55 in ages...
And I feel like submitting... Great job, still!

Nice solve Kai!

9:39.52 4x4 blindfolded! My first sub 10!
