New PB and 2nd success. 7:10.xx. 3:20 memo, 3:50 exec. Beat old PB by two minutes.

Wow looks good for a newbie for BLD.

5x5 BLD first success: 38:30.71 (first solve of the weekly)
This was way faster than my previous 2 attempts (both 50+), but I still feel sub 30 is pretty easy.

EDIT: Next attempt 32:xx DNF by 3 wings and 2 t centers if i remember right...decent time, but not great

On monday I started to learn old Pochmann, now I've had my first success.
I did not time the memo/solve, maybe somewhen in the next days.

The first solve on the scamble failed, but the second one succeeded, so at least the memo was correct.

Scramble: F2 U L2 D2 R U' B2U' B U2 B' L D2 L2 D B' U L' D B U' F' D' F' L'
Memo: Edges: RV -JK - ET - CS - XA - FG, Corners: JQ - TF - LU

I think it was not a hard scamble, since there were two solved corners and no parity.

Congrats! And welcome to the world of BLD.

EDIT: Got 1:59.21 with the scramble! My second sub-2 ever! And memo was really fast, somewhere around 1:05.

Wow. I suck. It took about 20 fails and I have gotten two successes. Did you time it?

sigh...

 

[JasonK]

Completely off-topic, but "somewhen" should totally be a real word.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

sigh...

Whoops. Fail. Didn't see that.

4x4 blindfolded PB: 8:51.38

5x5 BLD first success: 38:30.71 (first solve of the weekly)

Congratz dude

This morning I timed my first BLD: 20:08.33 including 16.50.19 memo.
But yesterday I had several untimed fails also.

Completely off-topic, but "somewhen" should totally be a real word.

Somewhen was today morning.

This is probably my last 3BLD training session for a long time (I'll take a pause after Italian Championship).

number of times: 55/100
best time: 26.64
worst time: 54.10
best avg5: 34.71 (σ = 1.05)
best avg12: DNF (σ = 28.56)
best avg100: DNF (σ = 29.50)
session mean: 38.13

Nothing special, and accuracy is awful... but this is it.

I'm sad to see this :/ Good luck in all future ventures!

[KottenCube]

I done one attempted blind solve got it somehow the only problem to me was it was 10 minutes and no one saw me do it.

Congrats, but those are definitely not problems. Pretty sure most people's first blindsolves went like that.

 

[KottenCube]

I have high standards that usually leave me disappointed for solving times most of the time it takes me 3-4 weeks that are good. School doubles that time if not triple.
