Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

What the actual f***... just got a 5:45.09 3BLD single on weekly comp 51's third scramble. Nearly two minutes faster than my previous PB, and I was using no particular memory method...

Still a nub though.
 
First ever relatively large MBLD at home
13/13 - 57.45.55 (43.xx)
special thanks to Ollie who persuaded me to use images (slighty :P)

Got my first 4BLD success! 11:12.058;). Interestingly, my first 3BLD success was 10:30. Shows how much easier it is now.

I scrambled wrong though:/
Memo Reconstruction:
Edges: Virtual Machines are AGgravating as in IreLand DitChes mean a Weird Quail. if UrEa makes you HaPpy call JOe. SeeK TaBle? NA.
Centers: Irene Adler went to the NetherLands to get a DoG. PE(physical education) HeadQuarters are CaW (crow, evil etc). TiFfany HalF ( managed to correct it to HO as I used H already and I knew something was wrong.
Corners: audio loop, don't remember

Also got this earlier: for 3BLD
1:13.532, 44.190, 47.101, 47.249, 40.016, 52.989, DNF(1:04.632), DNF(1:03.915), 48.526, 47.437, 1:19.370, 50.509

Missed the avg12 by a 3 cycle, but I think it is safe to say I average around fifty now

Congrats on your first 4BLD success! :)

Not sure of the memo time, but overall this solve was almost twice as fast as my previous solve. I predict sub-30 seconds will be possible for a pro.

What method are you using? I feel like the easiest would be orienting first, and then separately doing the permutation of each of the two 2x2x2 layers.

Sure:
BH corners ;)

I view this puzzle as a bandaged 2x2x2 {U,D,R2,L2,F2,B2} with a regular 2x2x2 inside it. This analogy doesn't work perfectly of course, but that is mostly how this puzzle turns. First I solve the inner, regular, 2x2x2 using BH corners. This guarantees a solved shape-state. Then I solve the outer, bandaged, 2x2x2 using BH corners, though restricted to moves within {U,D,R2,L2,F2,B2}. I'm sure a pro like you could do this puzzle in absurdly fast time, there's really not much to it as far as execution goes. Solving is perhaps 10 targets total, and so far my memo has always fit into just 2 rooms, one for each "2x2x2."

Good luck at Frankfurt Cube Days Ollie! I am rooting for you! :)

PB again... huge leap this time :P

x/w/c = 12(lol...)/24/8

first sub-5 and also first sub-NR :)

During center memo I noticed that I have only 12 targets so decided to try to go quickly which payed off... Normally successes are about 6:00+-0:30

New PBs on 3BLD as well :)

Bolded makes 44.34 ao5 PB also :)

And sub-NR single in there too...
 
Rubik's Tower BLD:
4:31.67

Each practice session so far I have been consistently cutting my pb almost in half! I still think sub-30 seconds is possible for a true pro. Right now I am shooting for sub-2 minutes for a medium term goal. Long term goal is sub-1 minute.

Easy. Should've been sub 8 though :/
 
my accuracy has improved a lot lately:

avg5: 2:11.14
avg12: 2:30.10

first avg12, and pb avg5 as well!

dnf was 2:41 by 2 flipped edges, average would've been 2:23 (because counting 3:47)
