2-5 BLD attempt off by 7 centers and 4 wings on 4x4 
I'll put the vid here when I get home.

Day #1 of attempting 4BLD.
Attempt 1 - messed up the last few moves of the parity alg. Had I not messed it up, I would have been off by 4 centers.
Attempt 2 - off by about 5 centers and 7 wings.
Attempt 3- Off by a lot. About half the puzzle was solved.
4BLD is super fun! Hopefully can get a success by the end of this year and then start 5BLD. I'm averaging about 20 minutes right now with 4BLD, but hopefully that time will go down with practice!

New 3bld PB single, finally beat that 20.93 on 10/4 from like 3 months ago 
10/6 this time, and 69 moves total hehehehe
8.21 memo, 11.97 exec, 5.76 tps meh

Edit: somehow forgot to write the full time lol, it was 20.19 if you dont feel like adding the splits

Day 2 of attempting 4BLD
Attempt 4 - utter failure
Attempt5 - Off by 5 centers, 7 wings and 4 corners
Attempt 6 - 2 centers, 10 wings, 5 corners
Attempt 7 - forgot corner memo, so off by 7 corners and 2 centers
Attempt 7 was very disappointing. Almost had it! I've now gotten my times down to 15-16 minutes.
Maybe this belongs in the blindfold failures thread, but I guess the accomplishment is lower times and more accuracy.

CStimer says 20.19, with 8.21 memo and 11.97 splits, I'm guessing there's some rounding weirdness in their code for that
Edit: actually there may not be weirdness, it could just be that it was something like 8.214 memo and 11.973 exec, so when added together they round up

Rainin PBs again:
25.95 3bld mo3. Not very lucky either
Also the last solve is my fastest on 10 algs, and I think the first time I've ever gotten 7+ TPS on a 3bld solve. It was 101 moves in 14.25 = 7.09 TPS

7/7 multi in 30 minutes for the weekly comp and used a different review method. I tried doing 2 packs of 3 and then a 3BLD instead of what I used to do, which was review more, memo less. Would've attempted more but I have a comp this weekend. Once I get more 3x3s I should be doing at least 10. I got the multi bug!

Day 3 of attempting 4BLD
Attempt 8 - Off by 2 centers!!!
Attempt 9 - Off by 3 corners. Memorized it as DFL, executed it as CFL because I knew that the UFL was not twisted and it ended up that I should've executed DML. So close!
Attempt 10 - 12 minutes!! Off by 6 corners and 5 wings. I knew that this wasn't going to be a success during execution, but very happy with the time!!
Attempt 11 - difficult memo with lots of breaks because of buffer. All but 2 centers solved. Some wings solved. Probably messed up somewhere in the middle of solving wings.
Accomplishment is better accuracy. Centers are almost always perfect or close to perfect. Just have to work on those wings!

First MBLD success today (2/2), only did 2 cubes to start with but it's still pretty great considering at one point I'd never thought I'd even be able to do a single one blindfolded. Now the only thing stopping me from doing more is the fact that I only have 2 3x3's!

Day 4 of attempting 4BLD.
Attempt 12 - Off by 4 centers and 9 wings. Not really sure what went wrong.
Attempt 13 - Forgot to do r2 before parity. Had I done that, I would have been off by 3 corners. Time was 11:53, so that's my fastest DNF yet!
Attempt 14 - SUCCESS!!! 17:18.52! A little slow, but I'm super happy! Forgot 2 letters of corners but managed to guess those correctly! One of my favorite accomplishments! Happy to have gotten this success before the end of the year. Time to start 5BLD. Hopefully I can become a Silver Member by the end of 2018!

Hey cool, another very obscure UWR lol (I think, please someone let me know if I'm wrong!)
10/10 mbld in 9:58.80
Edit: just making some notes to analyze this attempt:
Takeaways from this^^^^^^
-Fatigue plays an obvious factor during first round memo
-I waste ~1 second between each cube transfer during initial memo (though I'm not sure this is necessarily a "waste", since at all times the memo is setting in more)
-Average exec time not including transfer was 20/cube, meaning I waste 2 seconds on average between cubes. Seems like too much...
-Overall TPS for exec was 4.74, seems pretty good for mbld
-Average movecount was 104.3/cube
-Average # of targets/scramble was 19, so semi-lucky
10/10 mbld in 9:58.80
Edit: just making some notes to analyze this attempt:
Note that exec times are roughly counted from start of first move on that cube to end of last move. I'm doing this so I can find out how much time I waste in exec transitioning between cubes.

Hey, long time since I last came by.
So,
I toasted to a very productive 2017 by finally achieving a great 3BLD milestone , my first sub-minute Ao12 at 55.19. Broke a long-standing 1:02.xy all the way back from October.
On the 1st, and after sleeping away my hangover most of the day, I went full force into practice and rolled a 59.98 Ao12. My execution has surely improved even though my 3Style is still embryonic.
Fast forward a few more solves I could roll, and I broke my PB again with a 53.99 Ao12! I was ready to go to bed and pretty sure I couldn't possibly top that. Decided to do one more solve... Only to to break my Ao12 again with a 53.80 and a very much unexpected PB Ao5 of 50.97!
I'm very happy and excited about the coming year. I'm focused into learning 3Style, which already shows signs of major improvement.

So you're almost sub 1 globally? I remember I challenged you to a race to sub 1 quite a while ago
My PB single now is 45.51, mo3 is 1:06 and ao5 1:14. (My successs rate is fairly low though about 35%-40%)
So my Global average is around 1:15 to 1:20, but I've been picking up BLD a LOT recently, and getting sub 1s here and there.
See how it goes!

Pretty much there already haha. But I'll give it a couple weeks before I can confidently consider myself sub 1
Hi, I am a little ashamed to post that since you're all so awesome, but that's my first success of the year. It's meant as a reminder to my future self to show how bad I was.
For the moment I'm scrambling edges only (and using M2). 1:16 for my memo, 1:45 for the resolution, so 3:01 (again, only for the edges).
Usually, I am between 4 and 5 (rather 5) and I am solving in the evening once the children are all asleep (2-3times a week). This time, I have brought the cube to work, and for my lunch break I tried to do a solve. It's a great success (for me. Although there was no break in the cycle, nor M-long algs, just the easy one (U2M'U2M' and opposite)).
Thanks for all your post, that's a great source of motivation.

Today I had my 4th 3blind success ever. In a public train. I didn't time it but according to the train schedule it was around 11 minutes.
