Mini-multi BLD: 19/21, 33:53.10 [~20:30]

I didn't train after I got the WR. 3 weeks and I came back. And I'm scared. I'm scared more and more ; O

a "Mini"-multi that 1 year ago would have been WR by almost 20 minutes!

anyway, my accomplishment:
Average of 5: 37.36[7.79]
1. (34.41[7.37]) L2 F2 R2 D L2 R2 U R2 D2 U' B2 F D' L2 D2 R' B D L U L
2. 35.02[(6.95)] D B' R U2 D2 R' D L2 F D' R2 F2 R2 B2 L2 F2 U' B2 U' L2
3. (DNF) R' U B2 D' L B' U' B L' D2 F B2 L2 F' D2 B' L2 D2 F' R2
4. 34.57[7.66] L2 U' B2 F2 L2 F2 U2 B2 D2 U' L F2 D' U2 B' R2 D U' R' F2
5. 42.50[8.34] U2 B' L2 B R2 U2 F' D2 F R2 F' R' D' B' L2 D' L2 U2 L' B D'

I did this during one of my "Super-fast-memo" sessions. I didn't think I could get 4/5 accuracy, but after the 4th solve I was thinking "Maybe I can get a fast memo avg5". And here it is: total times are more or less in my average, memo is very fast.

When will you attempt 30/30 officially?

probably never because 30 is an even number

Crazy :fp

My accomplishment: I won 3BLD at the GEL Open 2012 with a time of 1:12.xx. First time that I'm on the top of a cubing-podium.

Other (nonBLD) accomplishments:
-3x3x3 1st Round: 18.xx avg with Roux
-3x3x3 2nd Round: Decided to switch to CFOP: 15.xx avg - qualified for final (1st time 3x3 final !!!)
-3x3x3 Final: 18.xx or 19.xx avg with Roux.
-4x4x4 Sub 50 avg (!)
-5x5x5 1:46.xx avg (Qualified for EURO)
-Also nice Pyraminx and Magic results, without any practice.

4x4 BLD in 18:10, first success. I was super nervous and I felt like I had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders after seeing it was solved. Now I can focus on time and I won't be super nervous when doing it anymore.

Also, 5x5 BLD method while looking though. I can't wait to be good enough to try 5bld sometime.

Solved my first ever 3x3 bld a week or so ago using full classic pochmann with letter memo. Did my second successful solve with visual for corners, on a whim, first try. Just this morning had a successful solve with full visual And I have a feeling on my next solve I'll move to M2.

Other beginners out there: Memo seems daunting, but I realise now that there's so little to memorise for 3BLD, and visual isn't as crazy impossible as it seems!

 

[BlueDevil]

Well, after almost 3 weeks of blindfolded solving, I have a achieved a sub-4!

3:32.25 with OP edges and corners.

I bet you could do 35 cubes in under an hour... wtf

 

[CUBEobsessor]

First 3BLD success
I had been practicing corners and edges separately for two days, and at one point I felt confident enough to memorize the whole cube at once and got a success on my first attempt. No parity, but a success nonetheless.

Nice

 

[antoineccantin]

First 4BLD success!

I'm so happy!

I took about 5 months, but I got it!

 

[Phlippieskezer]

(After much procrastination, I) Memorised my letter-pair list completely, and have successes at least 90% of the time now.

(Granted, I'm still super slow, at about 6-8 minutes, but heh. Definitely my memo, since when I solve without the blindfold using M2/OP, I get just under 1 min. At least I'm consistently successful now.)

[AbstractAlg]

56.60 and 56.68 with new memo.
Also, amazing accuracy, if it's a dnf, it's always execution error, so only two dnf's for today (missoriented corners execution error).
Always sub1:20.

New memo feels much, much better and I'm more confident, it's a bit slower than Limeback's but with practice I expect better results. It is also great for mbld, while Limeback's style never was. Superb!

Time?

Or do you mean that you first attempt took 5 months?

What is your memo, if not a secret?

 

[AbstractAlg]

What is your memo, if not a secret?

It's not a secret, of course.
Edges are standard letter-pair words and for corners the same. A bit modified Speffz scheme, but first cycle I remember visual for fast execution, and while doing that I can focus onto next cycle which overall gives great results. I used Limeback's tapping thingy, but that resulted in a very unstable memo.

Sub 15 4BLD

Kind of a fail since the scrambles is UBBEEERRR easy. But thought other people should try it.

U' F2 L2 U F2 D B2 U' F2 R2 U F D2 U L' B2 L B2 F2 D F

I got 1:05.

Indeed, tooo many cycles. DNF(58.49) - didn't notice DRF corner twisted.
