Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[dbax0999]

Yay, haha. I'm tyring to learn off of your 4x4 blindfold tutorial, but one of the edge algorithms appears to not work. I'm not sure which one at the moment but I'll let you know

 

[DavidWoner]

zomg!

BLD session:

2:30.59, 2:30.03, (DNF), 3:09.80, 2:24.13, 2:37.91, DNF, 2:20.22, 3:29.38, (1:43.03)

1:43.03 scramble:

L2 F D' L' F' L2 U' R2 D U B' R L2 F2 B' U B' L' F D2 U' R2 B' D L

Edges were meh, but corners are awesome!

Corners:

(U2, F D' F')
[x: (L2, D R' D')]


However I didn't do that, I used Pochmann for the first 2 then saw the closed 3 cycle for the last 3 and did that. Still really fast! I'm a bit unsure on the rules regarding luck, is 2 corners+1edge solved considered lucky?

we will race BLD with weekend. maybe on video?

 

[pawan_jay]

my single blindsolve is 4min 38 sec...
2.03 memo, 2.35 execution...

 

[Faz]

Quit bld for about 3 months. Tried a solve just then

1:49 something. Memo was about 1:10. Using 3op and M2. I might do some more solves later.

 

[martijn_cube]

wow you still had a 39 sec solve with M2 and 3op. thats nice. i really need to find a faster way to solve corners then the classic pochmann i use.

 

[yoruichi]

2nd 4x4 bld sucess using 3 cycling: 8:53
9 centers solved yayyyy

 

[ManasijV]

3x3 multiBLD
2/2 7:04.99
This is my 3rd attempt I think I can do much better.

 

[Zava]

mhm, 7/8 multi in 32:31.11 (20:30)
on cube #7 there was a 3 cycle of corners (ULF-DRF-DBL) and URB-URF corners misoriented, except that everything is ok
oh, I almost forgot: still no memo method for multi

 

[Novriil]

3x3BLD
4:42.45

quite of an accomplishment for me.

That's fast
What memo method do you uses so far on multi?

thanks!
I just use the single bld memo (random words for edges/sentences that doesn'tmake any sense, and numbers/letters for corners) multiple times. this is why my multi at czech open ended as 4/5, cube #1 and #2 had a very similar sentence for beginning (edges) and I executed the #1 on cube #2 :/

 

[rjohnson_8ball]

Just did a 3x3 bld on an extremely stiff storebought cube (not Rubik's brand). My finger muscles still hurt. I put black and white "colorblind" stickers from Cubesmith on it (with 6 different symbols for each face), so memo took a little while. I had to use the symbols on the centers to guide me for piece locations. U=filled circles, F=stars, D=open circles, L=open diamonds, R=filled diamonds, B=plus signs.

Swedish Open 2009:

I messed up on the first one: DNF

Second one I realized I did memo wrong and had to start over, although I made it after that 4:25:xx

Third try, I went all out for speed (still slow ) but I just couldn't get the memo! Then, I finally began solving the corners. When I was done with them, I started shaking my head because I was almost certain that I had done it wrong. I kept on solving and when I took the blindfold off the cube was solved: 3:30.xx

I got 5th place or something like that with that result

 

[Chuck]

5x5x5 BLD success
- Memorization 15:28.86
- Execution 19:09.09
- Total Time 34:37.95

Actually I have the memorization detail:
- Edge 6:33.79
- Corner 1:07.08
- x Center 3:38.39
- + Center 4:09.59

Was it a very long long time? I guess it was
But somehow I feel so good about it!
Maybe because I can update my signature

More and more to come!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

That's great, Chuck!

You'll be sub-30 in no time! Then on to WR!

 

[Mike Hughey]

Congratulations, Chuck. That's ridiculous. It took me a long time to get sub-30, and you're almost there on your first solve.

 

[Chuck]

Really? I'm glad it's a reasonable length of time.
Thank you. Maybe when my super duper stiff Mefferts 5x5x5 have became more loose, it wouldn't take me this long to solve it. Or I can just buy V Cube 5x5x5, after I can buy a 6x6x6. I have V Cube 7 already Closer to the Ultimate Relay!

Thank you, Maarten and Mike.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

OMFG!!!!!!! May I join the fun?

Weekly competition 2009-36, 1st 5x5BLD scramble.

28:14.12, 14:52 memo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first success!

If you don't want to see a lot of smileys, do NOT scroll down.

 

[Chuck]

Hahahahaha

We managed to do it on this same day, 09/09/09.

Let's celebrate it with a cake or something

Wow, your time's wonderful.
