Oh i see, so you do 3 solves and they use the best? No wonder they don't have anything more than your single times on the WCA records and stuff. I wish they'd post all the solves though :/

All solves are posted on your profile and on the competition page. It's just that only your best solve represents your ranking.

New PB 3BLD: 4:14.14
Scramble: U' B2 U' L2 R2 B2 U R2 D' F2 L F U2 B F' L' F' R F2 U' L2 (4th scramble from this weeks blindfold race)

I have just switched form visual to audio memo for corners, and it seems like it helps, although it feels a bit uncomfortable and weird right now.

This is getting ridiculously awesome.

I just got this 1:19.76, 1:41.38, 1:19.24, 59.82, DNF(57.83), 1:11.79, 58.78, 1:18.61, 1:12.22, but I have to leave now, so I'll continue later. The 57 was off by 3 corners.

In there is a 1:09.73 Mo3 and 1:10.07 average of 5, both PB's.

How I did this, I do not know. But 38.60 3BLD. I've never gotten a sub 50 even, before this. 12 second memo. 26 execution.

Scramble: F2 L2 R2 B U2 F' L2 U2 L2 B U2 L U' F L2 D2 L R2 B' L' D
Memo:
Edges: Who (HU) PiSsed maybe? (MA BE) (8 letter pairs)
Corners: DiVe WaM BeLl (3 letter pairs)

Also 10 sub 1's today, I earlier got a PB of 51.50.

Edit:
Now a 1:05.38 average of 5. 58.13, (DNF(1:25.72)), 1:17.79, (38.60), 1:00.22.

I also forgot to mention that in a random solve (1:3x), I used one edge comm, of DF - RU - DR. I used D' M' U M D M' U' M

Yeah you begin to see comm for edges, so you'll be able to make a lot of them withouth the blindfold now.

edit : A good ao5 for me :

49.82[20.07]
(41.53[15.68])
44.79[13.18]

Memo mean (successful solves only): 7.89 and 60% success rate!

porkynator, how do you memo the cube? and in which order do you memo and execute the corners and the edges? :)

I use letters, and I memorize them in different ways every time: sometimes I pair them, sometimes I make words with 2 or 3 of them, but most of times I just try to remember the sound. I do this for both corners and edges.
It's a very fast method, but it isn't very safe. Anyway, it's safe enough for a 3BLD solve after some practise.

Did some 5BLD sighted solves, my comms are pretty solid, hope to move on to actual memo soon, Nevins's 5BLD success is motivating.
