Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Mike! Congratulations for your 6x6 blind!
Kenny! Congratulations for your 4x4 blind! Do you plan to brake the Hungarian record?!

My result today:
6x6 blindfolded: 2:26:19
Memo: 1:45:48
Execution: 40:30
131 steps

Successfull for the first try! Huhhh it's still hard to recognize the oblique centers. I wasted a lot of time on them.

I don't want to waste so much time with the boring little cubes (2-5)

Crazy!

Awesome job, István! I wish I had managed your accuracy - it's painful having so many DNFs. I guess you should just stop now, since your accuracy is 100% for all cubes over 5x5x5? Very impressive!

Totally agreed.

Istvan!!! Vagy nagyon jo rubikblindban!!!!

I got a new PB 6:44.39! I know I'm not good (I use Old Pochmann, and I can't do the execution that fast). The memo took ~4:15, still need a bit pracrice there too.

 

[Faz]

ooveehoo, 2x2 or 3x3?

 

[ooveehoo]

ooveehoo, 2x2 or 3x3?

:confused:

It's 3x3x3

2x2x2 is in ~2minutes.

 

[Faz]

ii thought it might have been 2x2 because you said that you used old pochmann.
You didn't tell us what edge method that you use (assuming it's M2)

I use Old Pochmann for edges also.

16:09 5x5 blind DNF. Two wings off!! One ~30 s recall delay on central edges, so it could have been a sub 16 DNF too!

4x4x4bld: 5:09.79. wow. wow! WOW! What just happened? After a big 3x3bld DNF streak I decided to try this, and got this crazy time. wow. I didn't refresh anything, just one fast look at the cube. But it had 9 centers solved, is it lucky? 0 or 1 wings and 1 corner solved too. After that I did another 4x4 BLD and got 6:58.23 with only 6 centers solved. And then I did some 3x3 BLDs and got 4/5 sub65, but not sub 60 .

Wow Ville, your progress is just insane. Do you remember how long the memo took?

The same applies to Alex of course .

Thanks! No, I don't know about the memo, I usually take my memo time too, but I forgot it this time :s. On the 2nd solve it was 3:17.xx though. I'm guessing it was a bit over 2 mins. But I really want to know if it was lucky or not.

 

[Ville Seppänen]

I got something else too: 1st to get sub1 in ryanheise sim. 59.06. I've tried this for ages. yea it's a bit silly but 1st place is 1st place.

I just finished my first blindfold solve (3x3x3). I peeked once because I thought I had made a mistake in corner orientation and I didn't want to wait 15 minutes to find out. I'm still considering it my first successful solve though.

And yes, 15 minutes means I'm just that slow.

Congrats! I need to catch up now.

Nice job, after reading this I decided to try it again. (I haven't done a solve on it in months. ) I got a 1:11.99 w/ freestyle corners + M2.

 

[Faz]

YAY!

My first ever blindfold solve.

2x2 BTW

I got around 3 mins and i got a 2:30 DNF.

I have had 2 2x2 blind solves today.

That is awesome, Ville! You're officially one of the really fast big cube BLD solvers now.

Those I know of who have gone sub-6: Ville now, Chris, Rowe, Rafal. I assume Ryosuke Mondo, although I've never seen a time from him on 4x4x4 BLD. Has Dan gone under 6? I sort of think I remember he did. And Alex sometime in the next few days. Anyone else?

11 pieces solved out of 56 is just under the lucky cutoff that most people now seem to use - 20%. So I would say that technically it's not lucky. Besides, 9 centers solved is pretty common, really.
