Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I would think that you could get 1 cube as a +2, then the rest would be DNF, because (I think) in 3x3 speed for example, if the cube was 1 turn away, and you had 16 second inspection, that would be DNF. I think.

I understand your logic, but the rules of +2 or DNF apply seperately to each cube. That's what I'm understanding from my interpretation.
 
Can a WCA delegate answer?

The question of +2 penalties in multiBLD has been discussed at the WCA forum, here.

Ron specifically stated that the +2 penalties are to be added. So if you had 3 cubes with a single face misaligned each, you would have a +6 penalty. I've always assumed that his statement here was the rule we should follow. Fortunately, it doesn't come up that often in competitions.
 
Ended my long DNF streak with 2 successes in a row, I think I DNFd due to parity on most of them, or I did wrong setups or mislabels.

2 successes, both using my letter pair list (I only know A-T and X) .
First was 3:40 some crap time, warmup + cold hands.
Second was 2:35. Wouldn't be an accomplishment but...
1) Remembered two flipped edges at last second that I visually memo'd.
2) Did my first pure 3twist (sune) and it involved setups, proud I did that).
3) Had parity.
4) Had huge delays in when I'd recall the image and think what letter pair that is, I expect sub2 to come very fast when I can create the image / recall what it is fast :D.
This is exciting. I'm so close to finishing memo'ing my list...

Edit-Oya, and on 2 hours of sleep :p

New 4BLD PB: 6:33.75 yesterday evening. Done in the bus once again :D
Centers were quite esay but not outrageously lucky.
 
YES! FINISHED MEMO'ING MY LETTER PAIR LIST!

Figure I'll practice BLD for a week to let them sink in / practice recalling the letters, then I'll get into multi :)

Perfect timing for the competition tomorrow, I hope I don' forget any letter pairs up on the stage tomorrow :p. I hope to place.
 
New 4x4x4 BLD pb! 4:35.08, done for this week's competition (week #8).

I was going to wait until I posted my results, but I was just too dang excited ;) I did this at that "clay sculpting" pace I talked about before. I guess I need to think of a better name for this, perhaps "synergistic pace?" I don't know what the memo time was because I didn't look. So far my pb singles on 4x4x4, 5x5x5, and 6x6x6 are done with this synergistic pace. I think it's safe to say that I know this is the right pacing for me, and all I need to do now is perfect the finer details of using it.

Ok, and what would happen if you were stopped at 1:00:00 with say 3/6 cubes, and one (out of those 3 solved) with a +2? Would it be a DNF?
(I'm asking it because István asks me this always and I don't really know the answer...:))
 
Did 17:52.39 4x4 BLD this morning with 7:5x.xx memo.
My next try, wich I did now a few hours later was 17:50.60 with 8:10.xx memo.

I don't know why I have such slow execution but atleast I beat my PB two times in a row.

Easy scramble, but not lucky :D
2:33.46.
Decided to do a random BLD solve. 1:05 memo. Old Pochmann corners, M2 edges.
Coming up with words for edges was really easy, usually edge memo is like, 2:00~ and corner memo 20~ this was low 50 edge memo, then gogogo fast corner memo (this was easy to make audio as well).
My execution sucks D:<
This was just meant to be 1 solve, but now I'm motivated, from the awesome feeling of thrashing 3:12 pb :D

Edit: 2:19.89 off by parity, I don't think I had it, but I did it out of habit >__<
