Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Yes We Can!]

I did amazing in 3x3 BLD and multi BLD at Aachen Open 2010!!

In 3x3 BLD I got DNF, 4:02, 3:24 Two successes =D
In practice while being on the train I actually got 1:43.50 (old PB was 2:20), but that was a bit lucky


In multi BLD I had never succeeded before at home.
After getting 2 DNFs (attempting only 1 cube) while practice at the venue, I decided to start without a single success that day
Memorization went fluent, and I even checked everything 3 or 4 times!
After 15:45 minutes, I had indeed solved both cubes! 2/2!

My dream came true! Only 3 weeks after solving my first cube blindfolded I won a certificate (2nd place!!!) in a blindfolded solving event!
1st place was Istvan Kocza with 9/9

I am overwhelmed!

Something wrong here.
YOU MUST BE STOPPED

YAY!!!!!

4x4 blindfolded NR!!!
10:22.84 at Aachen Open (I was second "because of" Ville)
this was awesome!!! I beat the NR by one and a half minutes (bocs Pitzu), and my PB by 1:15. the funny fact is that this is my 7th(!!!) success! all the seven were PBs btw, one of them was at the Hungarian Open... it seems I should NOT practice 4x4 BLD at home

It was a rolling average; I threw out my first three. Unfortunately, the next one was a DNF. I'm happy I can do this in a rolling average - it means I don't get worse as I do more, which is important to me. The last one was almost lucky - 3 edges solved.

Nice Mike,
i guess it's time to dig my cubes out before you'll overtake me completely .

Thanks, but I suspect you don't have much to worry about for a while yet.

Yay! First 2x2 BLD ~2 mins. Lol. Visual memo. I'll be using this to practice my corners.

Also, 3x3 BLD today in english. Not timed though, but succesful. In public too. =)

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Finally, a fast 4/4

My previous 4/4 PB was 28:xy, and I had had countless 2/4s and 3/4s around 20 minutes, but now I did it!

3x3 MultiBLD: 4/4 in 21:35.24!

Two easy scrambles, especially the first one. Very much sub-competitionPB. 40 on the first, 35 on the second (should've been vice-versa, if anything)

Ugh. DNF (1:18.36). 3 corners wrong - I did an algorithm backwards. Would have been my second fastest solve ever.

YES! The first was to me pretty easy, mostly because I had good words, even if it was only one corner and one edge solved!

My new personal record: 1:36.56 ! Feels great!

 

[Gunnar]

Yay!

I finally solve 3/3 in multiple BLD. The time was 16:16,74. I've had 2/3 a lot of times, the fastest being 13:55, but I'm just happy to get a successful attempt. Next challange will be 5 or 6 cubes.

And congratulations, Arvid!
