Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I'm so happy I can hardly sit still! I just had an amazing solve!!!

4x4x4 BLD in 11:42.18

The time is a lot slower than when I was at my peak. However, I am sitting outside at a Starbucks practicing in public. It's cold and I can hear music from the Starbucks as well as the store next door. The term distraction training would certainly apply in this environment.

I also made 3 major mistakes of mis-executing a commutator during this solve. All three times I could tell that something felt "wrong" and I searched my muscle memory for what I had just executed. I must have corrected my mistake all three times, because I opened my eyes to a solved cube! :D :D :D

I don't have the speed I used to have, but I am very happy that I still have a strong accuracy when focusing on getting a successful solve! Yay!!

BLD is SO much fun :)

This is a weird one, but seeing this video from over a year ago, I'm quite impressed by how quickly I oriented the cube to to the best position. I think my current WR took like 2-3 seconds. My sliced finger seems OK, so we'll see how Saturday goes
 
I just did my very first MBLD EVER!!!

Time was 16:49.59[11:27.31]. ~18th try. I was so happy at the end I picked up the cubes and threw them and 5 of the caps popped off of one of them, and one corner.

Did you use whatever orientation the cube was already in or choose a random orientation?

I got 2:02.96 [1:20] using scramble that randomly orients the cube, and solving in whatever orientation it was already in.
scramble: U2 L2 F2 L D2 U2 B2 D2 L D2 F' U2 R' B L' D R' B L' F2 Fw Uw'
The cube had the same color scheme as usual, but I don't think it would have made much of a difference if I used a different one, because the orientation I had didn't have any colors in common with my normal orientation.

Well, after failing my multi-blind for the weekly competition I got my first Sub-5 3BLD :)
4:59.65 with a 3:30 memorization. Then after that I got a close DNF of 4:54. Trying a mean of 3 now, I will post the results later.
 
After beating my ao12 by like .5 yesterday, I've beaten it by a more respectable amount

Average of 12: 1:06.78

12. 1:05.93[18.97] L2 F2 U B2 U2 R2 U' B2 D' L2 U F' U' R' D2 L B2 D F' U R'
 
I'm back with my mean of 3 here are my times:
3:27.65 - Very lucky scramble but this is what I think about lucky scrambles: A scramble is a scramble and you get what you get.
3:51.61 - Beat my old PB
DNF - I think I messed up an algorithm because most edges were wrong.

Since the last one was a DNF I don't know how to count that so the mean of the first 2 is 3:39.63
I also have one question. For example when someone puts this 4:00.00[2:00] does the time in brackets mean solve time or memo time?
