Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Overall MBLD PB yesterday, 40/40 59:17[~39:35]. Pushing execution to force my muscle memory to take over and not thinking about the turns I'm doing really helps my accuracy. Memo was pretty average, but it is my first time getting sub-30 execution per cube in a large attempt! Interesting fact about the attempt, I memorized cubes 25 and 26 in the room after the one I should have, and didn't realize until I got to cubes 29 and 30, so I just memorized 29 and 30 in that room and physically moved them to the front of their group of 8 as if they were 25 and 26 :)
Holy crap, so you do actually post on these forums! That's so freaking awesome Mark - and very clever with the moving cubes. Do you know how many you're doing at Michigan?
 
Yay! I finally did my first real BLD attempt! It was a total fail, but I did it. I'm pretty sure I messed up somewhere in M2, but more of it is a mess then I thought.
2 edges right, 1 corner right, and one twisted. Everything else is a mess.
Hope I can practice enough to get a success before my comp (Michigan 2016) in two days. And I'm signed up for BLD.
The full solve was 13:09.10 [3:38.80/5:17.37C+E Memo, 2:56.16/1:16.76 E+C Execution].
 
Nice one. How are you practising memo?
Well after restructuring my whole memo system I'm still trying to make sure I can remember all of it correctly. Mostly, I train one set of letters at a time (by first letter) in the Excel sheet where I store the images: it shows up the correct answers once I've written down answers for them all. I've also been tweaking some images still but I'm happy with all but one or two now.
 
Got a 1:57:39 3BLD ao5 with pure 3style corners exept for I think two targets where I couldn't remember the weird special case alg. Definitely slower than when I use OP corners still because I have to pause and think for 5 seconds or so each time I try to think of a corner pair comm. I'm happy that I can actually get an ao5 though. Learning 3style is brutal...

Which cases were they? I think when most people start learning comms they learn outdated ones.
 
yuss, my first sub40 after some stupid fails, 3rd solve of the day :D Memo was around 15-16 I think

37.13 R2 U L2 U B2 L2 U2 F2 U' F2 D' R' U' F' U2 F' D' B' D' L U'

9 edge targets, 5 corner targets+ visually twisted corner. Only used one comm in this solve, which was an 8 move corner comm. I know, I REALLY need to learn atleast corners 3-style, spammimg yperms is just so uneffiecent :(
Atleast I used an alg for the twisted corner.

I definitely don't remember the cases in that ao5. I've probably been learning 3style a bit differently than how most people do. I can easily understand and recognize when to apply a good handful of types of commutators, and can get probably around 40-50% of cycles solved in 11 moves or less. The rest of the cases that I have a hard time with I'll just set up to a case that I know, and at the most it'll be like 16 moves but still optimal over OP. I've been writing up a complete list and referring to this thread for ideas when I get stuck.

Got a success on my first ever 3BLD attempt :). Time was 11:01.55[9:19.45 memo]. Really slow memo cause I was being very careful about that I did everything correctly, but a success is a success.

Success on a first attempt is pretty rare, and pretty weird splits too, which I think is a good thing. NJ.
