BAM!

I just tried something new with my memo and it worked out just fine.

10/10 - 25:12.88 mins

Really nice! What was the something new?

Really nice! What was the something new?

I memorized the 10 cubes quiet fast. Normally i take my time but i thought it could also stick in my head if i do it a bit faster then usual. Besides that, i usually check after 5 cubes. So i would do like:

memorize 5, check them,
memorize the next 5 and check them too
and so on...

This time i just memorized every thing in about 12 minutes and then checked all the 10 cubes in a row wich took about 3 minutes.
Memo was 15:05 mins and execution about 10:05 mins. Then 2 seconds for finding the space-bar^^

New PB

EDIT1: I just did 4/4 in 7:22 mins

i feel weak and awkward with all this achievements, but ill still post it: 21:40:00 3x3 BLD first succcess!!! yayyy it feels so good, i feel powerful muahahaha btw im a beginner, i started BLD'ing 3 weeks ago and its a lot of fun

PS: i cant believe feliks, dennis, erik and more great cubers are registered in this forum hahaha!! you learn with the champs

You shouldn't feel awkward, the first time you solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded is a great accomplishment! Congratulations! :tu

My pb was with Old Pochmann edges, 14:07 iirc.
This was my first multi attempt with M2 (letter pair memo). The journey cube was much slower due to my lack of freedom from this.
8:30 memo~ Both cubes had parity. First cube went without a mistake/big pause, however, the second cube to execute was really hard to recall. I memorised it edges first, and with my normal bld method, I do a story for edges, audio for corners. On this cube, I had the story for corners after the edges, and I couldn't remember it.
After a few minutes trying to recall, I decided to just solve edges, and see how close I would've been. As this was edges first, instead of corners, I had to think how to do parity. I worked out it would be a setup to U-perm, did it, then did the corners. 80% sure I'd DNF'd, I took off the blindfold, stopped the timer, then saw 2 solved cubes in front of me

Umm ok I just got better.

52.77, DNF(40.48), 54.42, 50.39, 38.96, 42.46, 52.70, DNF(50.34), 44.44, DNF(58.90), 47.92, 44.59, 48.36, 49.69
= 47.88 mean of 11/14

Obviously the 15th solve was DNF =p
2nd solve was not really a 40, I just screwed up and gave up.

Best avg5:
Average of 5: 46.53
1. (38.96) R' L U B L2 B L R' U F' L U' D R B' L R' B' U F2 L' U' F2 U' L'

3. 52.70 F R' B' R D F' L2 R U D2 R L2 B' F' U' F U R' L' F R2 L' D2 B2 R
4. (DNF) D2 U2 F2 B2 R' U R' B2 F' R L' F2 B U2 R D2 U2 R' B2 R' F' D' R' D' R'
5. 44.44 B2 D' F2 L' U' F' R L2 B' D2 F2 B D' R' L2 D B2 F U' F' L U2 F' D U2

I got the first 10 solves on vid but I'll just upload the best avg5

edit: the 50 DNF was me giving up after forgetting memo =p

Rather than posting in both threads, I think I'll just post in this one:

4BLD in 4:58.54.

The failure is this attempted average: 6:12.87, 5:57.21, DNF(5:32.86), 4:58.54, DNF(6:09.73) = DNF
The third one was off by a lot. On the last one I was happy to see 3 sides completed, then I turned the cube over and seen the two centers.

Holy **** Zane since when did you go from 'ocool new Australian cuber who has a good mentality' to 'easily one of the best in the world at 4x4BLD'?

Good job.

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment.

Over the last 5 months I've put a lot of time into practising the journey method for memorisation. I've only recently cut a few minutes off my 4BLD solves, by ditching my previous audio/visual/journey system to going pretty much all journey. Thanks to Aron for suggesting the idea to me.

Best single w/ parity

5x5x5 BLD - 16:06.86 mins

Every parity case thats possible...
Got it on video but i think i will do a better one and upload that one.

Crazy Zane. And your worst time in that average was 6:12, I thought that was about average for you
Nice sub 5 :tu

Weee first solve with M2 was a success. And I used a new room (my 2nd brothers room (not Eric)). Total of 3 rooms now :3.

Only had 2 M slice case though, one was just M2. Untimed though, felt fast, setup moves are sexy and fast with M2, hella lot faster.

Also another accomplishment soon - my letter pair image list is 90% done..53 or some left

8:42.42. Second succesful 3x3 blindfold solve. Going for sub-5

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Getting closer to finishing BH corners. I can solve Pures, most A9s, Orthogonals, and Cyclic Shifts. It feels a whole lot like learning intuitive F2L. After you learn what you're looking for, it gets easier.

 

[Keroma12]

3:01.55 3x3 PB
Old PB was 3:09.80, and the solve before this was 3:10.02
No parity, 2 cycles for corners and for edges, 2 edges to flip (If I remember correctly)
Sub3 here I come!

Thought I made a few mistakes, I guess not :S
