Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

3x3x3 BLD 42.00 seconds! I think it was lucky, atleast way too easy. 1 corner and 3 edges in place, no need to flip anything. Unfortunately, I scrambled from a non-solved state so I don't have the scramble, but edge cycles were: UF->UB->RU->LB->LU, FR->DR->, DL->DB. Corners were 27 moves. Awesome!

You and Alex are both on the fast track. Amazing!

Thanks! I would really like to catch up Alex in multi too, but I only got 3 cubes :s. I also feel like I should thank Alex. Every time he gets a good time, I get a good time as well. I got my first sub1 right after him, same thing for sub50 and sub8 on 4x4x4.

Here you go: 6:39.22 4x4 blind, LUCKY.

Shouldn't be long now until you get one.

Alex, STOP ALREADY!!!!



But seriously, nice job!

But seriously, nice job!

You're right I REALLY have been posting too much in this thread. XD

 

[blah]

Alex, STOP ALREADY!!!

Couldn't agree more You are now officially drop dead amazing, you're my new BLD hero, sorry Chris

Alex, I didn't know you meant THAT "lucky" scramble (the third one in the weekly competition). I guess it was technically lucky (12 pieces solved), but it had to be one of the most difficult lucky scrambles I've ever seen. In fact, it was one of the more difficult 4x4x4 BLD scrambles (lucky or unlucky) I've had in the past few weeks. I hated it. I can't believe you did that well on THAT scramble. I was very happy with a 12 minute solve on it.

Hmmm, it's interesting how whether a 4x4 blind solve is good or bad can depend solely on how you choose to orient the cube. Mine had The UBR and DBR corners solved. 7 centers and 3 wings, I think. And yes, it was the third weekly contest scramble.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Ah, that means you did orient it differently. I had no corners solved, 7 centers, and 5 edges. And the edges didn't help because there were several cycles. I repeated the scramble to check it, so I was sure I did it correctly (I still remembered it all from yesterday).

I'm comforted that you weren't doing the same solve and thought it was that easy - it was really hard for me. Bad choice of orientation - and I spent a lot of time trying to pick orientation too.

A nice little average of 5. Nothing amazing, but after Czech I was in a bit of a slump, so hopefully this is the start of me getting out of it.
1:06.31 1:14.34 (1:07.81 DNF) (1:05.71) 1:11.46 => 1:10.70
On the DNF, I think I slipped on a U and did a U2 or something.

The 1:11.46 actually had a premove, the first time I've tried one in aages! (and definitely my fastest time with one)
F2 D2 R2 U' L R U R' F L F U' R2 D2 F' U' L2 U2 L' D2 B2 U' D' L F
U' Premove. Solves UFR and UFL. And _unsolves_ UR. This is the first time I've actually done a U layer premove, since it messes with both of my buffer spots.

eh i suck at multi. i got 6/6 in 56 minutes

 

[Raffael]

I just did my first successful 2/2 multibld in 22:49.34.

Very slow, but I wanted to get them both correct.
I wrote myself in for this discipline on the Dutch Masters so I thought I should actually start practicing this.

Anyway, I still need a memo system..

 

[joey]

Raffael: Good job! Don't get too fast, I'll probably only attempt 2 cubes multi at DM too

 

[Pedro]

1:23.05 official time

 

[Raffael]

Raffael: Good job! Don't get too fast, I'll probably only attempt 2 cubes multi at DM too

thanx!

I'll probably won't become that much faster by then.
if you wanna make sure, attempt four, cause i only have three cubes

not that i can imagine remembering three cubes with my crappy memo anyway..

hmm, come to think of it, i'll just might try three now, maybe it gets easier with more cubes..

It doesn't become easier . But not much harder either.

 

[Raffael]

Yeah!

it took me 54:10.03, but I did it.
surprisingly, memo time for the first two cubes was sth like 45 mins cause i kept mixing them up.
memo for the third one must have been my fastest memo time for a cube ever.

i think i should really get a memo system, before i can do this in competition, cause it almost took double the time i would get in a competition for three cubes.

anyway, I#m quite happy, that i had a success on this on my first try.

 

[joey]

Very nice. You have to get it under 30mins for competition! But nice, it took me ages to get my first and only 3/3!

 

[Raffael]

Very nice. You have to get it under 30mins for competition! But nice, it took me ages to get my first and only 3/3!

yeah, i know.
i guess i should really get a list of objects and a good route.
if i can get it together till dutch masters, i might be able to do 3 in 30 minutes, we'll see

(hope i just gave you enough motivation to practice multibld )

54.71 DNF at the Nationals. Grrr, that scramble was so easy!!!! I think I messed up the execution and I'm kicking myself for it!

that goes in the blindfold failures thread

I did basically the same things for a 1:15 DNF and a 1:05 DNF
