4bld 14:13.97 down from 16:57.27. Most of the improvement is from tracing wings faster. I also executed centers a lot faster because of getting used to the setup moves for each letter so I don't have to think very much about it during execution.

Started blind practicing corners only until I get them natural. So far the best I’ve gotten is 28 seconds lol. I really need to work on my edges though.

So, I had my first competition today. I also did 3BLD, four months after my first success at home.
First round was 2:44, 2:29, DNF and in the final I got 2:28, DNF, 2:19. Succeeding in the first solve of every round allowed me to be relaxed during the other solves.
Very satisfied with that. 67% success rate is much better than at home while 2:30 on average is only slightly worse.

PB mo3, finally sub-19! Yay
25 alg scramble set which on the surface seems insane, but I'd say the first scramble is significantly more difficult than the typical 8 alg -- i did an alt pseudoswap to give better corner parity, and that ended up saving an alg in edges, and there was also a floating 2twist in that scramble
kinda crappy cases overall also, so I'm still pretty proud of this regardless of the luck

I started thinking about a system for 15 puzzle blind today at about 3:30 p.m. and got a success in the first attempt at 5:15 p.m.

A compilation of my best three attempts today: 7:02.21, 6:32.07, 6:33.44
15 puzzle blind seems not to be very popular. I only found the two vids of Aleksander Osipov (one with a 6:42.21), so my 6:32.04 is now YT-UWR

Very impressive. Ok, I did it with hardware and in the comments you can read, that he can't solve 90-95% of the scrambles.
Not the real thing for me to wait for a good scramble - but what he does, when the scramble is there, is great.

Previous best was 125/150 in 9 hrs 53 mins by Maskow

Awesome job!!! Especially after your first attempt didn't go so well.
