1:39 PB avg5! First avg5 without DNFs. But I still don't have a avg12. But memo gets slowly better (55 sec.)

14:58 5BLD NR.. Was a terrible solve both in memo and exec and was surprised that it was even right

 

[Cale S]

starting to practice 5BLD again
5:37.42 [1:50], 6:45.10 [2:25], 5:14.07 [1:56], DNF, 5:22.72 [1:59] = 5:55.08 avg5

first avg5 in a while
too bad about the counting 6:45, at least my memo is improving (even though it's my execution that really needs to improve)

I was thinking it was Nationals until I saw this: http://www.cubingusa.com/fantabulousminnesota2015/index.php
I'm also going for MBLD NAR since I bought more cubes, soon I'll do my first attempt at 23 cubes

First sub-2!

1:58.44 - B2 R2 B' U2 L2 D2 R2 U2 F' U2 F2 L' R2 B' U' B' D B' D2 L' F

I've had about 10 solves between 2:00 and 2:04 before this (all successes), and my fastest DNF is 2:04.

New PB!! 2:19.68!!
Scramble: D B2 U' B2 U2 L2 F2 L2 U' B2 D2 R' B' L' B R' F R2 U F2 x2
I just threw the cube up in the air for random orientation like I always do and that's where the x2 comes from.

I have been getting more successes recently and hopefully will eventually get sub-2 or sub-1 or even start learning 4BLD soon!!

Also, does anybody know how to copy the scramble directly from Prisma Puzzle Timer instead of manually typing it out? That would be awesome.

Wound up as National Champion in 3 and 5BLD. Feels good to finally get some solves close to my home times. Happy with the 40.64 3BLD which was the clincher in the finals. The 14:58 5BLD was a terrible solve and was very surprised that it was not a DNF. Still taking it though.. Hope I complete a success in all BLD events with 4BLD at my next comp.

Nice Now we both have slow official 5BLD successes

4BLD PB!! Awesome!

So close to sub-3 tough...

Fast memo and PB execution by alot... ~1:40 sub-2 execution is still rare for me. Also it had PLL parity so would have been sub-3 without that :/


Also had a 3:07 DNF by a few edges because I recalled 2 words in wrong order. I'm getting faster again. So YAY!

 

[Hari]

Good job dude

Thanks!

Haha yeah.. Was really hoping to do well in 4BLD though.. 1 DNF was just a 2 center swap, other was 3 cycle of corners and 3rd was some random stuff. Best was 4:27.. Oh well, I guess I'll break NR next comp (Abhijeet smashed the previous NR by more than 2 minutes.. It's 4:24 now)

 

[Cale S]

5BLD - 4:49.36 [2:02]
second sub-5, pb for execution
two solves before this was 5:14.31 (first attempt of the day) and the one right before had 1:43 memo but I did one U move wrong during wings so it was a DNF

Spoiler

all these solves were done past midnight so I guess that shows I can still do 5BLD when I'm tired
also, today's the last day of school for me so starting tomorrow I can do more practicing for my next comp

 

[the super cuber]

Really happy to have become the Indian National Champion for Multi Blind and also broken the national record with 17/18 in 56:44 at Indian Nationals 2015!!

I needed one more cube to get the Asian Record but while picking up a cube my hand hit another cube and changed its orientation. But still I'm really happy with this result as I am now 17th in the world for it (4th in Asia)

my second mbld attempt was only 2 hours after the first one, so I could only manage 15/20 in 55 minutes (which is pretty good for me considering I used all the same rooms I used 2 hours ago and still remembered most of the previous memo)

3x3 blindfolded went awesome, got a 45.96 single in the second round and a 57.34 mo3 which puts me second in India for 3bld mean! And fourth for single. Finished 3rd in the finals with a 52.62 solve.

Broke my official 4bld PB too by 4 seconds with a 8:40 success.

My Multi blind NR video and 3bld mean videos coming soon

It's 5th now after I finally stopped my streak of failing in comps and big finals VGJ nonetheless! After Kabyanil, you're probably NR2 for BLD sum of ranks now

 

[newtonbase]

OP corners only in 1 minute. Nice consistent improvement.

 

[h2f]

Nice. I've started to practice it 2 days ago (I've never done it earlier, just pracicted doing a lot of solves) and got avg around 43 seconds, with few 30's.
