Woohooo, I'm probably not the first one, but I managed to solve the 3x3 blindfolded!!

My time was 17 min 2,22 sec (11 min memo, 6 min execution)

It was my fourth attempt after learning the 3OP method and I'm so happyyyyyyyy!!!!

Congratulations!

1:23. Not nearly as lucky as my 1:22. I've randomly dropped 15 seconds since Yale. Averaging 1:45 now.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At last. I was starting to think I'd never get it. Fourteenth try. Which is absolutely ridiculous - I know I should be more accurate than that. Anyway, I finally got it.

Video may take a while since I recorded it with a new camera and I've never tried hooking it up to the computer before. But I'll try to post it sometime this weekend.

Now, where"s my blindfold?

Nice job, Mike! Finally got it!

Waiting for Brest to reconstruct it as soon as the vid is up

On the other hand, I got a sub-50 3BLD on cam today which will be up soon

EDIT:

Nice Mike. It took a while, but now you finally beat it. Congratulation.

Excellent! Congratulations!

 

[Robert-Y]

Congrats Mike, I can't believe you tried 14 times

I'm guessing you've spent roughly 20 hours in total of 8BLD attempts?

 

[megaminxwin]

GO MIKE!

14 attempts and you finally got it. On video too! YES

Next: 8 8x8x8 multiblind attempts, all with 8 cubes, and all being successful except for the 8th one, which has the 8th cube off by 8 centre pieces. Shouldn't be too hard.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, congratulations! That is absolutely incredible! I was actually checking your recently made posts to see if you had done it yet.

So are going to give it any more attempts?

 

[AbstractAlg]

Congratulations, Mike!
Amazing!!

Gratz Mike. At least your weekly posts in the Blindfold Failures thread have come to an end. Time to do a 2x2-8x8 BLD relay?
