Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

First successful BLD solve ever!! Took me 3 tries before one worked though... I didn't think I'd ever be able to do this. (3x3: at least 20 minutes)

second attempt at 3 multi BLD.
Same result as the first though 1/3 in 27:06.xy
Really frustrating though, 2nd cube had 2 edges flipped over, and 3rd one had a 3 cycle of corners left.

I know exactly what you mean, how frustrating it is. I had two 3 cube attempts with an average of 1/3 successes over both of them, and in almost exactly the same time as you too. However, 3rd try I got it so just keep at it and I'm sure you'll get it

Congratulations! It's a great feeling, isn't it? Don't worry, your 20 minutes will turn into 2 minutes with a little time and practice :) Keep at it!

Thanks! It did feel great. I definitely will keep at it... This is much more my
style than solving for speed (although 2 minutes BLD does sound completely
unapproachable right now).

On another note: just got purely visual Pochmann on my first try,
second day of BLD attempts! :) :)

Using visual memo is a lot more comfortable for me than memorizing a bunch
of letters. (Although, memoing the letters is fun too... they make dirty
words... reminds me of pochmann's memo tips and his dirty stewardess)

Thanks for the encouragement!

Yeah, even I hope I'll get it some time...the problem is that though my memo is reasonably fast, I suck at the resolution, I generally take 2 mins memo (can easily get down to 1 min) and 3 mins for the solve on an average, using 3OP. During this attempt at 3 cubes, I took about 17 mins for memo, and remaining about 10 minutes.
 
Woot I'm getting closer to better understanding the cube and how better to solve it BLD, specifically the 4x4, thanks to a much greater understanding of commutators.

So now I can make my own edge, center and corner commutators :D
Big deal for me :)
 
yay, new BLD pb for using freestyle corners :D. the time was 2:10.17, im pretty sure it would be classed as non-lucky, but it was super easy corners. D L U' F2 R2 L' D' R2 B' D B D L' D2 L D' F' U' R' D2 R' U' F U B
btw, i used M2 for edges, as always.

thanks, but yeah, corners were super easy. Try the scramble :D
 
Megaminx BLD: 1:18:00.87 (36:30)!!!!!!!!!!
(The first scramble in this week's weekly competition.)

I'm in total shock. It's still so difficult doing this. I had one spot where I did the setup moves, performed the cycle, then realized as I was putting it back that I had set up the wrong piece, but I was still able to fix it! That's probably the most surprised I've ever been pulling off a blindfold and finding a puzzle solved.

And I caught it on video! (The solving part, at least - I was afraid to video the whole thing because I was afraid it would go over 90 minutes.) I'll try to upload it sometime in the next few days.
 
Oh man.

I don't even know what to say to that. Wow. Amazing.
