Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[RyanReese09]

Been taking a break from BLD to learn OH COLL so I can start practicing ZZ-VH OH more..but yeah
3:16.87 pretty nice solve.. Dunno when I finished memo. Very little delays in execution, solve had parity, and one edge solved and one corner solved IIRC.

Need to get around to finishing BH/learning M2 one of these days. Still on Old Pochmann..

 

[Kynit]

Learn M2 right now. It should take all of 10 minutes.

Eric Limebacks tutorial good? How much faster is it if say, my execution on edges is..50 seconds. 10 edges in 50 seconds, what could M2 do it in?

Really wanted to finish the OH COLL (only 9 left)..but if it really only takes 10 minutes..

 

[Kynit]

I learned M2 off of Pochmann's page... all you do place the target edge in UB without ruining M-slice, M2, and undo. The only exceptions are M slice edges.

If you're not doing much BLD now anyway I wouldn't worry about it. It's not too hard to learn, but you'll be doing around 7 moves per edge instead of 15.

Well said. Once you know the concept you can almost get going right away. You literally need to know what M' U2 M U2 does to do the M slice pieces. And a 2 edge flip helps.

 

[RyanReese09]

I know a pure 2flip (F/B flip)

I was actually going to learn it right now-but friends are dragging me away from the monitor. Meh. It looks super easy-and much much faster. Thanks for that. I would have held it off for quite a long time

And that's even easier if you're using Old Pochmann in the first place!

I learnt it for 5bld midges, and then found that it was actually fast for 3bld. There are quite a lot of M slice algs if you want to know all possible combinations of pieces, but there's no need for all of them if you can figure out which pieces will need to be flipped at the end.

(46.49), (DNF(1:07.94)), 56.53, 58.07, 59.12 = 57.91 avg5

5BLD in 15:43.85, second weekly comp scramble. I'm glad as this time it wasn't an easy scramble, if I scrambled correctly that is.

I solved in this order with the following methods:
Corners: Old Pochmann

As I see from the video you are using a popular Y-perm for the corners. I really did not analyze the video to find the answer, but my question is:
Y-perm turns the center of U-face 90degrees counter clockwise. How do you solve corners before doing the centers?
Make the number of Y-perms dividable by 4? Should not be a problem to add 2 Y-perms in case you get 2, 6 or 10.
What if you have an odd number of Y-perms? Make it times 4 again and treat as regular parity?

You can just AUF before execution centers to fix them, and then AUF back afterwards to solve wings.

Thank you!
This was the last piece of information I needed. I'll grab my 5x5 in the evening and start BLD.

Peedu - officially the slowest 4x4 BLD solver (1 and only success and that was on the competition)

 

[Yes We Can!]

5x5 blindfolded - 47:17.7
Memorization: 35:40
Execution: 11:37

Third scramble weekly competition 52. Nice scramble if you ask me .
I'm timing my attempts using the iPod Touch stopwatch, so I don't have the milliseconds.

I love doing this! 2/4 success rate. I'm doing 1 attempt/day at the moment.
I might get really hooked on this assuming my success rate will stay this good.
The attempt felt really safe!

BLD ftw.

Congrats! I've been wanting to learn BLD for awhile now and your success video really motivated me.

YAY!!!! Been working on blind on and off for a few months but only started doing full attempts a few days ago:
1. 3-cycle of edges and two edges flipped
2. Edges complete fail
3. Edges complete fail
4. Knew it wasn't going to work cause I worked out that I had parity on edges but not corners :confused:
5. Epic fail
6. Epic fail
7. SUCCESS!!!

I use Old Pochmann for corners and M2 for edges, and the success was actually a really annoying scramble. Weird memo, parity, lots of flipped edges. Looking forward to getting more successes

 

[porkynator]

1:57.94 (47.xx memo) I finally feel alright with letters for edges and visual for corners

 

[Slash]

5x5 blindfolded in 15:44.06
Some might consider this lucky: one corner and two edges were permuted but had wrong orientation. 7 + and 4 x centers were solved.
10:10.xy memo, ~5:30 exec that is quite good for me
Accomplished at least something in this year (I mean good time for 5x5 blind...) because I'm not sure if I can try another 9 cubes multi

 

[Yes We Can!]

5x5 blindfolded - 40:42.3
Let's see for how long I can commit doing 1 attempt/day. This is so fun!

Memorization: 29:04.4 (nice - first sub-30)
Execution: 11:37.9 (exactly the same as in my previous attempt )

I feel I can get alot faster at memo, at the moment I'm just making sure I get a success.
The scramble that I used was the first one of the Christmas Competition 2010.

Of all my 5 attempts that I've ever done, none had corner/midge parity

5x5x5 BLD is win.

5x5x5 BLD is win.

oh, and congratz
