Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I was like that when I managed to get down to the [5:xx] mark, which was when I switched to sentences. I also think I used a similar flexible system (i.e. turning HVAJOB into HaVe A JOB? That sort of thing?) and built my sentences system on that sort of thing, making up single word/audio sounds from 3/4 letters in one go wherever possible. I focused on making the images more vivid as well by adding extra colour, sounds, smells, making the image more bizarre etc and actually interacted with the images which got me down to sub-4 and now sub-3.

It'd still be pretty cool to have 3 sub-10 5BLD times in the rankings from the UK

I still don't understand how people make sentences on the fly or how they manage to remember them. No, I don't have that kind of flexibility, I meant like applying it to megaminx with little effort and one letter per target, the conversion from letters to images is fixed. I can't seem to dig up a good description so I'll just explain it at Cambridge probably. After Cambridge I might try joining in the hand-waving memo improvement technique that some people do these days.

I think hand waving does help in small doses (except my multi's :3) personally i use it when i get awkward letters in a quad or something and any form of corner twist and edge flip, saves time and decreases my rate of failure, plus integrating it wih my memo helps a bit.
Go for it, i can definitely see you getting sub 10 soon.

7:02.96 4BLD PB! Finally, after getting sooooo many sub 8 DNFs. Also had a 6:19.95 DNF a few solves earlier.

1. 7:02.96 L2 F R2 U2 B2 U' u L' R D2 F B2 R' u D' L R r2 U' D2 L U' u2 f' r2 R2 U' R F2 R L' B' u B' r' U' r2 D' R2 r2

The scramble was really easy. Too bad there were many pauses during execution and slow memo. :/

4x4x4 - MULTI BLD - 5/5

First try. My success streak/rate is getting ridiculous. On video, i will upload it later.

UWR? Amazing

I dont really know. There is still no list of BIG MULTI BLD or BLD RELAY i think.
But i think so. Same for the 3 5x5x5 MULTI BLD as far as i know.

You could make one?

I did think about that
I have to get the knowledge about how to create those charts then. But i guess i will do it later.
Would be great to get a stickied thread. Is that possible?!

That's a great idea , but I suggest merging it with Mikel's 6x6+ , it would be pretty neat to have all this bigBLD accomplishments in one place
Nice Multi btw

Yeah, i still hope that they add BLD RELAY. I did ask them already.

9:19.56+ 4BLD PB

+2 because I missed the last move of the final edge comm.

Nice
You already solve edges with comms?

 

[antoineccantin]

About 50% of them. It's really easy. About half of those are 10-movers with a one move setup to an easy M2 case.

So basically, if the pair involves A, B, C, D, E, Q, M, I, T, J, W I'll most likely do a comm for it.

is this speffz ?

for speffz , I use 10 moves advanced M2 if I get A B C D H N W , and commutators for I and S with M' and M instead of M2

 

[antoineccantin]

is this speffz ?

Not quite. The U and D are the same, but I start EFGH on F, IJKL on R, MNOP or B and QRST on L.

For B, C, D, J, T, W comms, I just setup to A with Us or Bs and do them as if the were A and for E, Q, M, I, I set them up to E and do the comms there. I also do center comms when both centers are on the same layer, and I do U2 if not.

 

[etshy]

for E, Q, M, I, I set them up to E and do the comms there.

If I imagined your orientation correctly then this comm is basicly M2 but with M' and M instead right ? where E is FU

Yes.

edit: First good 3BLD solve using some edge comms: 1:15.42

L2 U2 F2 D' L2 R2 U2 F2 L' F R' D' F2 D B' R2 F U

Pretty easy scramble, so I decided not to do anything advanced for edges and just go really fast
(30 second memo, 33 execution, had a short pause to recall corners).

6:02.89 4BLD PB. Old PB was 7:13. Memo was either 2:45 or 3:45, I'm leaning towards 3:45 though.
