Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Zane_C]

I was determined to get a sub-1 on film this evening, the first try was a sub-60 DNF. A little while later I got this.

I guess this is my first 'non-lucky' sub-40.

39.63 U' D R L2 D2 B' L' U' R F R D2 L' F' D L F2 R2 B2 L' U' L U' B2 U'

1 corner and 1 edge solved, but the nice thing is they're easy cycles and no breaking into new cycles. I dunno if it's considered lucky or not, but w/e I don't really care about singles

Mean8/10: 39.75, 35.43, 43.05, 42.90, DNF(1:01.77), 37.86, 36.32, 40.23, 33.63, DNF(59.83) => 38.65

Bold is a 38.14 avg5

I think you are incredible at all different kinds of blindsolving puzzles (not the least Sq-1).
But here is a tough question: without counting, tell us how many different puzzles you know how to solve blindfolded

Oops, I fail. Without counting, I have no idea.

It might be hard to count, depending on what you count as separate puzzles. And saying "you know how to solve" instead of "you have solved" kind of messes it up. You and I both know how to solve any nxnxn puzzle, so it's infinite?

But here is a tough question: without counting, tell us how many different puzzles you know how to solve blindfolded

Another question by István: Can Tony Fisher invent and build a puzzle which Mike cannot solve blindfolded?

Or which István can't solve blindfolded, for that matter. He still has (at least) one I haven't done - I've never done a 15 puzzle before. I really need to do that someday. (I wonder if there are more that he's done that I haven't done yet; there probably are!)

It's almost as if the camera deliberately went out of focus when the execution started, it clears up though.
I love the feel of the mini QJ, but I can't turn too fast with this one yet. Hopefully that will change, once I break it in a bit more and get some Lubix.

[HelpCube]

First full BLD attempt, messed up on memo so only solved 7 edges and 2 corners. Also had a flipped edge and a twisted corner.

Three solved corners, one twisted.

3x3x3 bld success streak of 19 in official competitions. Clément, here i come .

It's probably no accomplishment, but i memorized about 1100 pieces that weekend (only counting official solves). And i probably recalled all of them correctly. (All my mistakes i could figure out were execution mistakes)

Second Success!

Ridiculously easy scramble...
