aww too bad. I recognize that when people provide me with easy scrambles I usually screw it up.

Hey, at least it put me in a good frame of mind - I got a new PB!

3x3x3 BLD: 1:13.58 (about 28 seconds memo)

A really nice technically non-lucky scramble - try it:
L' B F2 D' U' B' R' U2 L' D B F L' F2 L2 U2 B D' U2 L2 D B' L B' F'

Spoiler

Typical scramble for PBs for me - non-lucky, 7-cycle of corners and 11-cycle of edges. I almost always sub-1:30 a scramble like that now.

This is a video of my second blindsolve of a 2x2x2. I learned yesterday and got it yesterday I learned with LanceTheBlueKnight's tutorial on Youtube.

Hey, I got a PB on that scramble too. Would I actually count this as a PB or not, because it wasn't randomly generated for me ...

I'm guessing no.

EDIT: anyway, if so, 2:29.21

Whee 29.18... corners were absurd. I believe that's my fastest time on a "non-lucky" scramble.

 

[Sakarie]

Hehe, I thought that I should try Mike's scramble, but I (turned out afterwards) scrambled wrong, into another 7+11-cycle. That gave me my new pb of 1:18.15! Yay! Beating it with 4 seconds!

Glad I'm not the only one.

29:04 4x4x4 blind on 3rd attempt. I should be able to get down to 15 minutes before my next competition ( I hope! ). What i'm proud of is that I solved the 4x4x4 blindfolded before I even solved it regularly without help XD

Nice!

Hey, I am still looking for a video of you doing 12/12 multi sub-1h.

someday... I haven't had time to practice multiblind since November. Hopefully after March 26th (SOA/CAS P/1 Exam), I'll have a few weeks to practice before the Oklahoma Open.


Thanks to everyone else for the encouraging comments, I hope I'll be able to improve in all blind events!

Improved a couple more seconds on my best avg 10/12 for 3x3x3 BLD: 1:42.06.

The spoiler contains first that average, then my total 25-solve session. It's pretty typical for me these days - I'm really terrible when I start (I DNFed 5 of the first 8), but if I keep going for a bunch of solves, I get a lot better (I only DNFed 1 of the last 17).

Maybe this helps explain why I do so badly in competitions, and especially in ones I'm running - I don't do well if I can't warm up, and I mean lots of warm up.

Hi!

I got 5/5 multi a few days ago and decided to try six cubes today. I tried to memo faster so it actually went faster than my five cubes attempt, even though I failed on the first cube.

3x3 multi BLD: 5/6 33:23.43

 

[Feryll]

Yay, I took the time to sit down and learn M2! It was actually easier than I thought. Just using M2 instead of a T-perm. What is considered a usually better BLD method, 3OP or M2? If their about equal, it's okay, but if it's like Roux to Fridrich (for the speed aspect anyway) then I want to know.

 

[SimonWestlund]

YES!!!

9:29.85 4x4 blindfolded!

First sub-10!!

Stackmat?

 

[Mike Hughey]

Stackmat!!!

Seriously, congratulations!

I don't understand what you're trying to say here?

2 accomplishments today.
Finally broke my 3 or more 3x3 BLD weekly comp DNF streak with a time of 2:57.18. I don't care about the time just the fact I didn't DNF.

A much bigger accomplishment:
Solved the 4x4 centers BLD.
