Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I feel like I've made a huge improvement in BLD today. I've become both more consistent and faster. Out of my last 10 attempts today, 5 were successes with times of 3:27.00, 3:13.03, 3:43.06, 3:05.32 and 3:24.55. Also, 2 of the DNFs were sub 3 minute but only just wrong (one was 2:37 with 2 edges and 2 corners off and the other was 2:58 and had 2 flipped edges) Until this weekend I had a lower success rate and my times were anything up to 5 minutes.. Maybe I should practice with a method other than Old Pochmann and I'd get even faster ;)
 
YES! new pb of 2:02 for 3x3. It was nl as well. awesome scramble for 3OP corners and M2 edges. B U B' L' R' B F L2 B U D2 B' L2 F' D2 R2 B D' B2 U B2 L F D F2 yay, so close to sub-2

EDIT: just did my first successful solve with freestyle corners. the time was 3:14. do you guys think that i should start to try and use freestyle, or continue with 3OP corners and learn freestyle later???? (I will probably learn freestyle edges sometime soon, but atm im happy with M2)

Honestly I don't think it was that easy for M2, but 3-cycle worked pretty well with it. anyway, I got a pretty good time at 1:26.93 :)

Wow, this is even more true for today! BLD is easy to improve at if you do it lots! :D

Just did an average of 5 and got 3:01.38, 2:49.41, 3:01.67, DNF, 3:23.36 = 3:08.80 Which is amazing for me, especially the success rate. Also, I got a 2:32 solve earlier today but it was kinda easy (3 or 4 edges permuted at the start I think)
 
1. 1:05.58
B F D' U2 R' B2 D' B' F D' R' B F2 R U' B2 D' U B R' B2 R' F L R
2. 1:26.31 (DNF)
L2 F2 D' L' R' B' D2 L R' D' U2 R D2 L B2 F' D' L' D' B U' B2 F2 R2 B2
3. 1:05.12
L2 R U2 B L R' F2 L2 R B2 F2 L2 D U' L2 R' D2 F2 L R' B D2 U' B D

the second solve was bad...more then eighty and DNFed
when I can get avg of 3 sub 65 or even 60..
 
K instead of deleting it I'm just gonna post my accomplishment:

1:30.70 3x3x3 BLD =]

This was pretty good but it could've been a little faster but I memo'ed CO to quickly. I wasted a few seconds trying to figure it out and I managed to get it right :)

Well, my wife and kids don't seem too interested, but I just wanted to tell somebody that I just had my first successful BLD solve. 10:48.31 using Classic Pochmann and journey.

I just completed the 3x3 Blindfolded for the first time, but it took me almost an Hour! I used the classic Pochmann Method, and Story memorization. It seemed to take me forever to memorize how I was going to break into a new cycle. It took me really long to figure out how I was going to orient the corners while breaking into a new cycle.

well done, it feels good when u get a successful BLD solve, doesn't it. Well done and keep trying!
 
I succesfully solved a Rubiks Clock blindfolded :)

It's not that challenging, but it was fun to develop my own method. I haven't timed my self yet, because I've only had the clock for a few days (borrowed from a friend), but when I start turning the wheels faster and more accurate I think sub2 would be possible.

Nice! :eek: :eek:
I tried to learn how to do clock BLD myself in the past.
needless to say... I failed miserably :D
 
Yusss! Third attempt at a 3 cube Multi BLD and it was a success. It was for this weeks weekly competition and I went realllly slowly to ensure they were correct.
Time was 19 mins for memo (fully visual) and 7 mins for execution (fully old pochmann), - total time was 25:56.83.

HOORAY! :D
