Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

@schapel and Jason White: Congrats (beside your other remarkable achievements) for getting your mean-of-3 in mbld on 10th of november 2019 to be the 10th and 11th with an Ao5 or Mo3 in all actual official events!
(including the blindfold accomplishments in 4bld, 5bld and multi and therefore posted here)

Now we have:
Jan Bentlage (2017-02-12)
Mark Boyanowski (2018-02-04)
Hanns Hub (2018-02-10)
Kit Clement (2018-07-15)
Sukant Koul (2018-07-27)
Yunqi Ouyang (2018-10-04)
Nevins Chan Pak Hoong (2019-02-16)
Callum Hales-Jepp (2019-07-27)
Walker Welch (2019-08-02)
Stanley Chapel (2019-11-10)
Jason White (2019-11-10)

(I put Stanley first because he had the faster time on the third attempt. If they were in the same group his mean came a few minutes earlier :D)

thanks!

yeah we all solved at the same time, and I actually started my attempt earlier, so the order is correct
 
My main weak point in 3BLD was corners, so I decided to try out 2BLD a little. I started last night and I can now do it! I had two successes in a row this morning and I decided to enter the weekly SS comp for 2BLD. My first two solves were DNFs, one being 5:46 and the other 5:00. My third solve the memo felt smooth and I succeeded with 2:16!

First sub-1 mean! I have a comp tomorrow so this is nice to get. Hopefully I can get a mean at the comp, since my PR mean is 1:57 from forever ago. Also I triple DNFed my last 3BLD comp so I really hope that doesn't happen again.
 
My comp results in the first round were 55.59, 41.16, 57.81 = 51.52 PB mean and PB single!! I also got third place in the finals with a 57.62 single! I really wanted to podium in 3BLD to keep my podium streak alive and 3BLD was the only event I had a remote chance in, but it still took a few people better than me DNFing to get it. This comp went better than I ever could have hoped!
 
3BLD PB single: 36.855! First sub-40!

Scramble in your orientation: F2 D2 F2 U2 R2 F2 R' D2 L' F2 U L2 R U2 R D2 B L' F D U

Memo:
Corners: IT BRought BiG GuPpy (I actually memoed GP instead of PG but it still worked lol)
Edges: VEnom World's Best at Having Fun ABs JeN UP (visual flip)

Solution:

L2 S L' F' L S' L' F L' // UF-DR-LU
R' U' R U M2 U' R' U Rw M' // UF-DB-UR
M' U L' S' L2 S L' U' M // UF-LB-LF
R2 U' S R2 S' R2 U R2 // UF-UB-UR
R U' R' E' R U R' E // UF-FR-RB
R2 F E R2 E' R2 F' R2 // UF-DF-RF
S L F' L' U M' U2 M U S' L F L' // flip UF & DL

R U R' D' R U2 R' D R U R' // UFR-FUL-BDR
R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R // UFR-UBR-BUL
R' D R U R' D' R U' // UFR-UBR-LDF
U R' D' R U' R' D2 R U R' D' R U' // UFR-RDF-LDF

11 algs, including an edge flip. Bad scramble but I one-passed everything and the cases were nice. There were a lot of opportunities for floating and/or canceling moves, so I still have plenty of room to improve. I got a lot of 41s so I'm really happy to get a sub-40!
 
First M2 method success on the third try! I am transitioning from Old Pochmann. The time was nothing special for me (6:04.57), but it’s still a good accomplishment. My PB right now is 3:57 with Old Pochmann, so I’ll see if I can get down to that with M2. I just need to work on the setup moves S and I and on accuracy.
