Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Mike Hughey]

As of today I've decided to practise 5bld properly by doing a solve every day (rather than 1 a week). Today I actually did the first 2 weekly comp scrambles. First was 23:35.37 [12:23.66] pb by 4 mins . Just did the second and got 17:55.16 [9:02.12]!

I'm sacrificing safe memos so that I have a chance of a good time. And I'm also turning faster because for no apparent reason I didn't used to turn fast during bld. Surprisingly I had no memo pauses in the second solve - I don't expect to beat that time for a while now.

Wow, very good! Awesome results!

Very nice!
And with that new speed you now have time for more practice

Oh stuff you. I want memo like yours. Mine sucks like hell :fp

Interesting I've been doing that too lately. And sacrificing safe memo has given me roughly 10-11 dnf's in a row, but I'm sticking with Mike's motto and keep on going, waiting for better times.
We should keep track of each other. Competitive training is the best My goal is to top at Euro2010.

I do expect to get plenty of DNFs now - I had something like 13 successes out of 15 attempts (not counting attempts at comps) in total before yesterday so that will probably drop! Having said that - today I did 3rd weekly comp scramble and got 17:52.06 [8:52.80] pb by 1.10 secs . My goal is also to win Euro2010 . I feel as though it depends on Ville to DNF though

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP I FINALLY SOLVED A CUBE BLINDFOLDED!!!

Granted, it was only a 2x2, and it was hand-scrambled, and no timer, but STILL!!! IT IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO THIS!!!

Next: 3x3

15 centres and 1 wing solved I think so pretty lucky! Really risked the memo, but had very few memo pauses of more than a second or 2.

 

[Faz]

50.55 wat

1 edge solved, one corner permuted, and 4 corners misoriented. so... Non lucky

Edge memo was really fast, like 10 seconds. 5 sets of 2 letters.

Corners were a 3 cycle, UFR DBL DLF, then 2 2 cycles UBR - ULB and DFR - DRB which I fixed with an E perm. Headlights on top, and triplesune on bottom for CO.



Locked up a bit on the edges, which cost me a sub 50

Still

EDIT: 56.03

@ Feliks, wtf, that's so good.

4x4 BLD:
Didn't time, I think roughly 45 minutes. I stuffed up the centers and knew I had to undo what I did wrong but wasn't quite sure what moves I did.
After about 5-10 minutes just trying to think what I did, I remembered the set up being U and where the targets were so it worked out alright.

Suck Aron.

Great job Zane.

@faz, that's it, I'ma try a bld solve tonight. (using this scramble http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=363375#post363375 ). Haven't tried it yet, but my edge memo is bad, so 5 solved edges should be good

 

[aronpm]

Suck Aron.

I've told you I don't care.

Wow! Already subWR, good job
My practice solve of today: dnf - (because of a pop and then I lost track of the move I was doing ... sigh)

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

How on earth does Chris still have the WR? xD
Lars, how fast?

Yeah, 5x5x5BLD must be the most threatened standing world record.

I gave up after the pop, because it was in the middle of an algorithm and I completely lost track. But memo was 8ish, which is on the slow side for me.

Congratulations

You never need to do a sup10 again now... Next solve should be 8 minutes MAXIMUM.
