Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[TheGrayCuber]

6x6x6 BLD ao12!!
Done in the Weekly Competition over a period of 12 consecutive weeks.
(22:06.27), (DNF), 22:59.76, 31:25.08, 27:41.85, 32:49.79, 23:56.70, 24:38.58, 26:38.21, 35:01.76, 28:48.98, 30:06.25
Average: 28:24.70

Now I can stop being so careful and try to go fast again.

Whoa, that’s a great success rate!
Is this your first ao12 on 6BLD?
How many solves did you ‘accidentally’ get success before you started going slow?

Thank you! Absolutely this is my first ao12, by a long shot! My previous best streak was 5 in a row. Now I have 10.
I tried for a while to just "not care". I would say that 35:01.76 was the first one where I really started playing it safe. The 28:48.98 was actually a really easy scramble - I was being ultra-careful and took over 17 minutes to memorize, but executed in just 11 minutes. That one might have had a chance at being a PB if I hadn't been being careful.

Just got a success on the Time Machine Blindfolded (with the numbers in order and everything). It was my second attempt. During the first attempt I quit like 5% into execution because it was too hard. But after magnetizing the puzzle it was a breeze!

I was trying to get a sub-1 3bld on camera, and this happened:

Still a really good mo3 though, and I did end up getting a 58 on cam a few minutes later.

[sigalig]

So in an effort to estimate my global average a bit better, I reset my 5bld session every 50 attempts and log all the stats before resetting each one

I just finished my current 50 and noticed it had pretty huge improvements

Total was 19/50 accuracy and a 3:46.36 overall mean
If I DNF the slowest solves until 30% accuracy, it is 3:41.16 overall mean,
" " 20% accuracy, it is 3:32.92 overall mean,
" " 10% accuracy, it is 3:29.33 overall mean

 

[Keroma12]

Super late, but I got my first official sub-1 almost 3 weeks ago, a 56.

Scramble + Reconstruction: https://goo.gl/EBvo9g

I also had a 47 DNF earlier in the comp, my first ever sub-50 attempt ever. Still some kind of accomplishment I guess.

Scramble + Reconstruction: https://goo.gl/VN1xFG
(I really should have twisted the corner with a comm with the parity target.)

I'm over half done creating my edge list, so hopefully I'll stop using orozco edges soon.

5BLD PB 3:03.80
43 algs, 1:13 memo.

 

[sigalig]

Missing a 3:18 WB mo3 and 3:12 single still really hurts, but at least I beat a super old single PB. All solves linked with reconstructions. Last one is actually damn good for me, more proud of that than the 3:17 lol (3:26 on 1 alg worse than average vs. 3:17 on 3 algs better than average)

[TwistAL]

After taking a 1.5 year break from cubing, I decided pick it up again and try learning how to 3BLD. Just now I got my very first success at 6:13.91 using OP corners and M2 edges!

(i know its really slow compared to all you guys here but I'm still rlly happy about it)

 

[Keroma12]

Another PR:

"Thanks to Danny for celebrating for me at 1:08 in the video (watch at 0.25 speed for a better view).

PR was 56.01, PB is 54.10 (still my first ever sub-1 attempt lol).
I really need to start practicing regularly, instead of every couple of weeks.

Scramble + Reconstruction: https://goo.gl/WciYDx (13 algs)
Memo: 27 (images edges, audio corners)
Exec: 29 (UFR 3-style corners, UF-UB orozco edges)

Part of a 1:11.60 mean in the first round of CubeChella 2018, with a GTS. Won the final with a 1:05."

 

[Julio974]

Well, I was expecting it on another scramble, that one seemed hard…

 

[oneshot]

I guess entering the weekly competition is an accomplishment???

 

[TheGrayCuber]

2:45.13 4BLD ao12, which is sub-PR and also my first ao12 with 0 DNFs.

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

Not quite as impressive as the post above, but I got my first sub 10 4bld attempt a few days ago, and it was a success! Pb by 5 minutes lol

 

[Gregory Alekseev]

4BLD 1:32.33 ao5 and 1:27.47 mo3

Part 6/7 session with 1:34.63 mean, would be 1:30 mean without 1:55 solve. I think I average sub-1:35 globally
