3x3 BLD: 13:27.28
First ever success!!!!!!!
Me is very happy

3x3 blind success in public! it was our school talent, I felt kinda lame by having a show between a dancer and an air-guitar production xD I solved the 2x2 first (not blindfolded) in like 5 secs with a horrible lockup during Y-perm (coulda been sub-4), then a 3x3 in 19 (I suck, V-perm which I hate and lockup cause of nervousness), then 3x3 one-handed in 31 (lockups again). Then I asked a volunteer to hold a paper between the cube and my covered eyes. The volunteer was some silly chick, but didn't matter. I went for safe, so I memorized in 1:05, and triple-checked everything. My time was 2:06, and I was very happy that it was solved.
A sub2 solve coulda been better, but I don't mind cause everybody knows in my school that I CAN solve it blindfolded.


Also, 10:19 4x4 blindfolded at home. First non-PB solve

Don't be silly, that would be outrageous. It was 43.5 seconds.

My third success, and my second sub 5. I'm happy, because I didn't have much trouble with this solve (memo is really hard for me), and it wasn't that lucky (1 edge solved, another oriented incorrectly but in the right place). I'm signed up for BLD at Berkeley Spring 2010, so I hope to get at least one success.

My first ever competition 3x3 BLD success. Yes, it was slow @ 9:22.xx... but thanks to so many people dnf'ing everything, it earned me a 2nd place.

Congratulations, Carson! That's awesome!

I've never done better than 2nd place in 3x3x3 BLD, so I guess you and I are about equal now.

Lol, dude you suck. I won 3x3BLD like, once.

Congrats, Carson! My first BLD success in comp was slow too (5:29), but it'll get better real quickly

Ended my 11 DNF streak with a 2:20.11.

Ooooh, Feliks is so slow at EVERY single event. (Except for magic of course.)

6/9 (= 3 points) MultiBLD in 48:59.39 (33:59.89 memo!)

I don't have 9 full-sized 3x3s, so I used a V-Cube 5, a MiniQJ and a Mini Diansheng instead.

The first three cubes were the ones I messed up. The first two were each off by 2 flipped edges, and the third cube was off by 2 twisted corners.

Sure, 3 points is crap, but I'm happy that I did 9 cubes at this speed.

Wow that's really good, what memory technique do you use?

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Thats crazy.

 

[aronpm]

Just a simple route/journey system. I have a few routes that I place images on made from letter pairs. I try to fit either 4 or 6 letters to a location.

 

[Zane_C]

Cool, with memory like that I think once your've mastered 4x4 BLD you should maby try 5x5. I would love to do 5x5 BLD but I know my memory is nowhere near good enough.

[Edit] Second 4x4 BLD success: 27:51.18
Such a crappy time, I will work on my memory by doing multi BLD I think.

Um... that is certainly putting a positive spin on things. You would have won this one for sure. 4:xx was the winning time.

My success rate, although still dreadful, has gotten better since I switched to pure visual. My memo times are even worse than they were before, but hopefully that will improve.

Well, I finished what (I think) is my first ever 3x3 BLD average of 5 solves.

The first two scrambles were from Weekly Comp 17. On the DNF, I forgot to solve the last two edges, and I twisted two corners in the wrong direction.
