Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[etshy]

YESSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!
I don't know what to say , MegaBLD Success 53:12.44[28:21.14] 8th attempt , 4 pieces solved , 26/18 by noah's metric
1 huge cycle for edges and another one for corners , no cycle breaks at all , perfect solve and very lucky too , Memo wasn't that great , but execution was FAST , I might say that I had no pauses at all
This wasn't expected at all
I was sure I will reach 10 attempts with no success , I'm shocked actually , it took me 5 mins after I took the blindfold to make sure that every piece is solved
I was like : no there must be a wrong piece somewhere

There are a lot of people who I want to thank , Mike Hughey , bobthegiraffemonkey and A Leman for their help and most of all for inspiring me to do this

and of course I want to thank DuffyEdge because he was a big source of encouragement for me

This is by far my biggest cubing achievement so far

Very good!:tu Now New jersey only represents a measly 22% of the MegaBLDers in the world. This is inspirational actually. I have reworking my execution method, but it is going to take more time before I can get at all comfortable with it.

MegaBLD Success 53:12.44[28:21.14] 8th attempt

Well done, glad to see you get a success . Took less attempts than me to get a success too.

Awesome! I told you it could happen any time. Megaminx is really funny that way. Now, there's no telling: you might hit the next three in a row, or you might miss the next 10 in a row. At least, it was always that way for me.

And congratulations being sub-hour on your first success.

 

[Robocopter87]

My first success and my second try. My first try took two more minutes and was off by a pair.

The video honestly is super boring, but I am reluctant to speed it up.

6:15 I put the blindfold on.
6:40 I have this hilarious moment where I realize I did a J perm instead of a T perm and I just facepalm right onto the cube. But then decide to just do another J perm and continue and it worked.

At the end I accidentally miss the space bar and press another button like three times. Which makes me lose my scramble.

I use a tapping memo, I simply tap in sequence. Its worked far better for me than the story or letter memos.

But, hooray!

5/5 MBLD in 11:15.01

I had a LOT of pauses recollecting memo, so I'm glad I was able to pull through. PB by 8 minutes. I was hoping for sub-10, but oh well.

 

[mande]

13/13 MultiBLD in 54:16.76[37:00.16]
PB. Previous PB was a couple of months ago, 11/11 in 55:xx
I revised memo a couple of times just to make sure I didn't mess up like my previous 13 cubes attempts (6/13 and 7/13)
Next stop 15 cubes.

EDIT: Just did an awesome BLD session with a streak of 10 successes in it. Also had the following avg12: 59.90[18.80], 1:01.94[27.57], DNF(1:06.84)[30.45], 1:02.85[25.94], 1:04.31[18.68], 1:18.79[32.35], 1:12.33[27.56], 1:20.96[36.57], 1:15.18[40.04], 59.53[19.88], 1:14.38[28.63], 1:18.10[29.58] = 1:10.87

Not many awesome times, but pretty consistent I felt.

Awesome!!

Thanks

Thank you
You should try 2 cycles , bobthegiraffemonkey proved that you can get a very fast execution with it, I'm sure you will be able to Sub-30

Well done, glad to see you get a success . Took less attempts than me to get a success too.

I was surprised that I got it on the 8th attempt , I was sure that it will take me forever to get it , I'm getting the MK soon so we might have a lot to discuss about it later
thanks for the motivation

You were right now let's just hope that I can have a relatively good success rate , I'm planning on doing a weekly MegaBLD
I've always admired your skills , Thank you so much for the inspiration

Fixed an alg

That's what I find on a quick check

So weird to see the 43-single on video, because while I executed the solve I thought that it was so fast and fluent and without pauses, but now as I watch it I see that there are BIG pauses after almost every comm even in that solve . So much to improve still... One day I will break Villes NR but not quite yet...

 

[tseitsei]

Also 6:50.38 4BLD on camera

I usually average something like 7:10-7:20...
PS. my cube sucks and my center execution REALLY sucks

Oh, and solving part starts at 4:00 (so memo is about 3:20)
