Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

2x2x4 BLD - about 3:30-4:15 minutes! :D

I just got this as a present for my birthday, and I love it! I did the solve at work, which is why I don't have an exact time. I was actually still working while doing the solve :) During memo I was setting up a task that would run for about 2 minutes, and I was able to solve in about as long as the task took to run :D

I definitely want to try this again at some point when I can really focus and try for a good time.

On cam. It's the first time I've filmed a bld session. Guess the pressure helped.

Ryan Heise BLD simulator: 1:28.09 (First success)

I tried to enter my record to the highscores list but it said it looks like I am trying to hack the system. Which is ironic as the top score is 0.01 seconds.
Got it after five attempts or something.

Edit: 1:20.35

Wow Dennis, very nice 5x5x5 BLD times!

2x2x4 BLD - 3:13.38
memo in about 1:35.xx

This cube has a Japanese color scheme. I am holding it in my usual blindfold orientation but for yellow and blue swapped. It kind of messes with my head during memo, but I think I will keep it this color scheme.

It was funny, at the end of my solve the last turn of my last commutator was L2, followed by undoing my setup move of R2... I executed both moves then stopped the timer... Then I thought about what I had just done and laughed ;)

For memo, I only sub-vocalize the letter pair words (mostly just the first syllable) but for clarity, I will describe the association that I see. Some of these associations cause damage to the locations which is helpful for recall.

24~ memo

OP corners, M2 edges

Looked up after edge memo because it was super fast (for me). 13/14s edge memo but meh corner memo.

I can still remember my edge memo but corners is just audio. Scramble was amazing for my orientation. No twists/flips, no buffer getting solved mid way etc. Skyping with Bryson/Richie/Jayden and gave him scramble and we both got PB.
