I have terrible cubes, damn. Memo about 13:30 - 14:00, I guess..

10/11, 14:56.08 [memo ~8:02]
With your scrambles.
I missed one cycle '-.-

So you have UWR in this moment

 

[ZalEw]

damn xd

Everyone is getting so fast, keep up the speed guys.

I got my first (3x3) blind solve yesterday!



Yeah, I know it's not a big accomplishment.

You're kidding right ? A first BLD success is a huge accomplishment, well done! :tu

 

[tseitsei]

first official comp ever:
3BLD:
1:50.xx (very safe memo, just to ensure succes. easy scramble)
1:32.xx (good memo, normal execution. normal scramble)
1:34.xx (awesome memo speed, easy scramble, forgot last edge solved it trough elimination though, but time could have been better)

so after all I'm very satisfied even though the last solve could have been ~1:10....
mo3: 1:39

Yesterday at RH 2012 there was a cubers dad there that I was talking to and he wanted me to try a blind solve. I started my timer and got a success in the LOUD NOISY DISTRACTING competition room even when I knew that several people at my table were watching (Noah (cuber whose dad I was talking to), both my sisters, Noah's mom and dad, my dad, and a few other people)

It was a 5:18, but it could have been faster. I had to pause though because about 3 pieces into execution the organizers made everyone stop cubing for a moment so they could make an announcement. That was a good 30seconsd probably.

I got my first (3x3) blind solve yesterday!



Yeah, I know it's not a big accomplishment. I'd say this is my fifteenth or so attempt and it was definitely sub 10 minutes. I solved it on the car and didn't have my timer with me. The feeling of success was so strong that I told myself I just had to proclaim my success on the forums. It's been about half a year since I learned blind and to struggle for this long sure gives me a sense of personal pride. Hopefully, I can decrease my times to under 6 minutes before the end of the summer!

Congratulations!

 

[Rubiks560]

YES!!!!!

11/11 in 52:26.83! So happy right now prepare to say goodbye to your NR Mike.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Congratulations! Nice progress. See where you can be by Nationals!

By the way, I got a 2/4 = 0 points for this week's weekly multi. Terrible. But I'm not going to feel too bad about it - it was only off by a few pieces, and I did it at 4:30 AM, a few hours after we got back from our 5 hour drive from Dixon.

 

[Noahaha]

Did a 1:13 and a 1:17 in a row with lots of people watching.

Me and John just did a TRUE team blind solve video to come soon.

 

[emolover]

I did my first solve with my new memo method with a time of 5:27.00[3:37.85]. The time is pretty bad but I did it with different memo on the first try.

I use to use letter pair sentences edges first then audio or visual corners and then solve opposite. Now I use letter sentences for corners first then four letter words such as lsbn(lesbian) for edges.

Nice! But what exactly do you mean? Blindfolded Move per Move Team Solve? If yes and if I'm not wrong your the 3rd team having accomplished this. What was the time?

We did it alg by alg, so after each alg we traded the cube. We might attempt a move by move at some point.

 

[rubiksarlen]

2/2 MBLD, not really a good accomplishment, but it's been a while since I did well in Multi

And even better is that this was done after like 10 (?) or so single bld dnfs

Anyway, yeah, I won't be able to post as often over the summer, but I will try to keep improving =)

10 solved centres, leaving (AINJFLTK)(COQ)(DXG) so so so so so so so so lucky. I won't be getting another one of those for a long time.

Now I'll shush.

Nice!

Eh, that's not so lucky; I've had substantially luckier than that - my luckiest I remember was 15 solved centers with 3 3-cycles left to solve. I predict we'll hear from you again soon.

 

[Ollie]

Nice! ... I predict we'll hear from you again soon.

Ta I've promised myself I'll ONLY come back when memo is consistently <2mins OR when I eventually get a sub-5!
