Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I've been getting very close to 4BLD success, and even though all my 9 4BLD attempts have been DNFs, I'm putting this in the "Accomplishments" thread since it's an accomplishment for me.

I've done 3 solves today, breaking my PB for 4BLD attempts in a week, which was 1 attempt XD. That means I've adapted a much higher pace for practicing 4BLD.
2 of those 3 solves have been off by only a couple of pieces, the earliest by 3 centers, the lattest by 3 wings. The resting one has been a DNF because of 2 extra moves I made somewhen in the solve, the moves U' and R. That messed up everything with the wings.

I'll make some more attempts tomorrow, and hopefully at least one of them won't be a DNF!

Times:
14:01, off by 3 centers
8:17.07, off by extra moves
13:32.88, off by 3 edges.

So close! (Also those times are, as far as I understand, quite fast, and that creeps me out a little bit, since I take my time to memorize xD)

I'm getting more and more successful solves. I figured out that for me, because I'm not really going for time yet, it's better to memorize edges first because then they are at the beginning of my "journey", as I solve edges first. My execution times are better, it's the memo that's killing me. But overall I'm really happy.
 
Two official 3BLD successes at Dixon Fall 2016!
6:34.22 and 9:16.25
10 seconds under time limit. Kinda wish I could have gone for a mean, but I would need to be sub-5 for that...

I got last tho
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/DixonFall2016/results/all#e333bf
But Brandon was the only other person to get 2 successes.

Other accomplishments, 2/2 MBLD 20:13.25 outside with people kinda watching.
Also 3BLD pb fail: DNF[4:01(sub-3)] by 3 corners.
Audio edges are way faster but so much less accurate.
I want a sub-5.

would have been sub50 mo3 and avg5 if I didn't flip the wrong edge, undoing that and flipping the right edge on the last one

39/42 in 56:58 [33:48]

MBLD PB! :D 36 points! awesome time as well

all three cubes were exec mistakes (overshot a turn probably on 2 of them)

stats:

Memo: 33:48
Exec: 23:10
memo per cube: 48.28
exec per cube: 33.09
total per cube: 1:21

can fit 44 in one hour at this speed :D
 
Another 3Cube MBLD
1/3 44:56.46[33:37.53]

One cube is off by three corners
and the other is [B' D B D'] to three corners and then roux lse dots case.

I didn't have any trouble holding the information, which is good. Last time I forgot the edges on my last cube.

For the last one, I accidentally started doing corner memo as edges, then had to backtrack, which is probably why I got a centre swap somehow.

Quite happy with three mostly solved cubes which is why this isn't in BLD Fails thread
 
52.96, 54.93, 44.17 = 50.69 mo3 pb!!!
im starting to retain my rushed memo again
edit: 4bld PB 7:21.83. Finally got a success :| only took me 8 DNFs. Gonna start exclusively doing 4bld for a bit to raise my accuracy and lower my memo

1:45.32 3BLD mo3.

(Kind of a fail too though, because this should have been the ao5 time, with a 1:37ish mo3; the solve immediately before these was a 1:23.xy DNF by a flipped edge that I memoed but forgot to exec...

I sort of forgot the last four targets on my first memoed/last executed cube. I placed fingers on all the solved pieces, and was able to trigger my memory.

3. R2 U2 D2 L' B' R' F' B2 L' U F2 D2 R2 D L2 U F2 R2 D2 L2 Rw' Uw' - QiYi Thunderclap
4:58.12/1:51.09

+ 4:09.12 walking through my rooms to make sure I remembered everything

So hyped about the success, this was only my fourth attempt.
4/4 is my next goal. Hopefully I can be sub-felix by the end of the year.
