Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I got my first ever 5BLD success for the weekly comp! The time was 33:09, which isn't bad considering I realized halfway through execution I had never learned how to do corner/midge parity and had to think it out for myself.

Memo:
midges: GSXA WEAD VDCU COI
+centers: BFIM CJUG DQNT XHPV
xcenters: BUIE CMDQ VRFN XGKS WHPL HB
wings: LOVI ARHF EUCB PWQJ TDNS KG
corners: MGTW IRFU H

Method: Comms for centers, OP for corners, r2 for wings, and a really bad version of TuRBo for midges.

Yeah, it's M2/3Style.

I met up with Hoya last weekend, and he taught me some basics on edge comms, so I'm slowly adding them to the spreadsheet, but it'll take some time. They do seem easier than corner comms though.

If I may give you an advice - watch Mark's thread about advanced M2. There are very good Ollie's remarks about it. The second thing which let me to switch (almost) to 3 style is setup like Uw/Uw' for cases like UL - BL, UL - FL etc.

Would have been 1:12, but I paused on the last target for about 5 seconds.

EDIT: Rolled into a PB Mo3 as well:

1:17.13, 2:22.41, 1:32.28 = 1:43.94
