Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

5BLD 10:31.59 [4:43.32]

PB, but I should be able to do so much better.

EDIT: Another very minor accomplishment in this solve is I successfully used my new adjacent edge/midge flipping alg.

Wrapping up the day with a PB Ao12, down 6 seconds from the previous one. With this and a couple others I rolled earlier today, I can safely say I'm sub-2:30 :D

Official PBs (old -> new):
4BLD: 5:38.83 -> 4:58.65
5BLD: 12:43 -> 9:50.71
3BLD mean: 1:36.18 -> 1:25.31

Second ever 4BLD sub-5, and first ever 5BLD sub-10! (Had a 10:03 at home.)
Unfortunately I forgot edge images in the 5BLD, so it took 80 sec to execute edges. Could have been even faster!

I'm now NR2 for 4BLD, 5BLD, Multi-BLD, and FMC. :)

 
Here's my version of Kevin's post:

Got my first three 1st places ever at PBQ UCLA :) (3BLD, 4BLD, and multiBLD)
I got a 41.43 3BLD single, my first sub-1 minute in comp lol.
Also got a 4:57 4BLD which is awesome cus I was just hoping for a sub-5.
Got my first two official 5BLD successes, 16:47 and then 14:04 on the next attempt, giving me a 15:25 2-mean! A very obscure accomplishment but it feels good
Lastly, I did pretty poorly on the first two multiBLD attempts (15/25 and 17/21), but got 19/23 in 56:45 on the third attempt. This gives me my best world ranking in anything so far but it's still frustrating, the mistakes were so stupid and avoidable and 23/23 would be 2NAR and 11WR :/ I'll get it next time hopefully

39/40 MBLD in 58:53
1f603.png
[34:48 memo]

38 points and my second best attempt yet, PB is 41/43.
Forgot a letter pair on one cube, had a 2 min pause on it at the end. Last 3 attempts (38/40, 37/40, 39/40) make 36 points mo3!

quite happy with the accuracy :)
 
Not sure if exactly an accomplishment

Got really mad at the inaccuracies in a 11 cube multi attempt, so I did another attempt immediately

And got 11/11 MBLD in 22min 6.34s (which is still a decent time for me)

Strange to think that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the same stunt in may last year (my overall mbld pb at the end of May last year was 11/11 or 12/12)
 
3/3 Multi in 22:27.52 [17:44.01]

3. D F' L2 F' L2 F2 D2 R2 D2 L2 B' L2 R B U B2 R' B' F' R2 D

Finally a PB, despite getting distracted during memo a few times and having to backtrack one of the cubes to fix Parity.

Nice job! Was that an execution error on the 1 DNF? Looks like a handful of pieces are off, so most likely you didnt forget a letter pair or something like that.

Thanks :) I forgot one letter pair (OD) and while I tried to remember it I did the corners but as I lost my rhythm I switched two letter pairs in corners also most probably. An avoidable mistake but still overall great attempt
 
PB Mo3!

And almost got a PB Ao12 too, had it not been by a failed 1:40.xx :(
