Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[cubingawsumness]

Over the summer when I went to China I had too much time on trains and tried 3BLD. I actually learned it a few months ago but didn't really like the memo method shown in the video. Then I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWMo3cCH1E, and found the letters for the edges was very easy for me, but the tapping (and numbers) was really hard for corners. I decided to use letters as well for corners, and I got 2 successes! All untimed and hand scrambled, after just a couple attempts. And I thought blindfolded was really hard...

23:16.30 4BLD
3rd attempt, 1st success
Memo: Images from letter pairs
Execution: Comms for centers, OP for corners, and r2 for edges.

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 13/13 in 33:36.18 [19:27.96]
Finally, I think it took me over 10 attempts. Next step, trying 21.

Had some problems during memorizing the first cubes (accidentally shoot 2 corners onto wrong location), luckily I saw it during the review. Btw, 2:35 per cube (!!!)

In the moment multi is the only thing I'm good at. I'm right now experimenting with a new strategy, which has only 1 short review per cube. It is working surprisingly good with 13 cubes. It's very rare, that I have a pause during solving. But I'll see how good this works with 21 cube.

Nice.
Do few more attempts, your times should drop extremely fast and you'll get motivation to keep on trying.

Thanks, and I did two more attempts today so far: 20:16.16 success and 19:00.33 DNF by two edges, so it's indeed already happening.

 

[MKLEIN]

1st BD solve was today after many days of attempts!!!!!

Great, my first success was 15min, next was 8mins, so yeah, it's just getting used to. Good luck.

EDIT: 4bld 6:37 for weekly competition

 

[uvafan]

Actually did 5 attempts (3Bld) today after none for a few months.

Using classic pochmann.

6:56.01, 7:51.60, DNF(7:48.01), DNF(6:43.97), 7:16.57

 

[Noahaha]

55.759 3BLD with 12 edge targets, six corner targets and a twisted corner. Feeling pretty good about SJC.

Beaten previous NR by 20 seconds, though a couple minutes later Anton Rostovikov beat it again (42.84)

Also 4:12 at 4x4 bld (no video, sorry)

There is only last minute of solve on the video, I hope it will be uploaded soon.

Here you are: (filmed by Mihail Myshkin)

Very nice. Corgrats.

My accomplishment: tried 21 cubes today.
result: 18/21 in 1:06 [35]. On two cubes I forgot parts of the corners, 3rd 3 corners.
Better result than I expected. Tomorrow it will be much fast, had way to much pauses in this one.

 

[Noahaha]

I know I'm spamming this thread, but I just had 3 consecutive solves with 16 second memo. =D

Execution though...

EDIT: 48.625 with 15 second memo, 8 corner targets and 10 edge targets.

Glad to see you're still fast!

Step of that execution son.

 

[rock1313]

5x5 blindfolded in 20:44.84

14 Xcenter targets, 15 +center targets, 24 wing targets, 12 edge targets, 8 corner targets

PB by over 5 minutes YEAH!

 

[Evan Liu]

3rd success for 4BLD - 13:50.80
Doing one attempt per day now.
This could've been faster; it had at least one execution mistake for each type of piece, along with several pauses.

 

[mDiPalma]

first 3BLD attempt in months: 2:57.99

now back to OH
