Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[jdh3000]

I'm getting better at memorizing my notation on the fly; letter pairs are coming to me easier. I do about one solve per night. I'm only messing up about half the time as apposed to most of the time like before.

I'm actually noticing mistakes I've made and backtrack to undo them and it's working.

My goal is of course to make no mistakes, to spend as little time possible for memo, then execute the solution everytime.

Once was a time when I picked up the cube I didn't have much hope of solving it, but with time and practice I got to where it was not only easy to do, but at speeds I never thought possible in the beginning.

I see BLD being that way. I'm already feeling that confidence. I actually jumped out of my seat and yelled the first time I solved blindfolded, and now I look at it not as supprised. i want to be confident that I did everything right each time. I believe I can do it,

Another PB 44.33=22.09+22.24 with the last scramble from this week competition.

 

[abunickabhi]

Nice mean of 3 in this week's 4BLD weekly comp. My PB mo3 is still 2:32, and it is 2:45 on SS.

 

[Habsen]

I finally finished learning 3-style. Edges were done in three months but corners took me more than a year. I took multiple breaks due to motivational issues during that time. Now, solving with this efficient method is so much fun. I can't wait to smash some PBs in the next weeks.

 

[jdh3000]

I just buzzed through a bld with a quick memo and pretty fast turns with minimal pausing, albeit a solve without parity, but I doubt at this point it would've slowed me down much.

After a week of solving at least one bld per night, it's finally starting to become fluid. I'm not ready to time myself just yet.

My biggest problem lately has been opening my eyes to se 2 pieces inseted in the right spot, just flipped wrong, which is just a mistake of pointing a to the wrong side during memo.

I'm doing better at this than I ever imagined I could. If I can get my letter pairs down bettrr, and get some better ones.

Right now I'm using letter pairs for edges and just a mnemonic sentence for corners, I memo edges first, then corners, solve corners, then edges and that has worked well. Less confusion that using letter pairs on both. It's working for me.

Now the goal is to keep better track of named pieces without touching them as much. When I get a side finished, I let go of it and only focus on the others it helps, but needs improvement.

 

[abunickabhi]

Finally done with my 3rd buffer for wings, the UFl buffer. My order of preference for floating is now, FUr, UFl and then DFr.
Drilling bigBLD algs is tiring ngl.

 

[jdh3000]

I just did the first BLD memorizing all the pieces WITHOUT holding my fingers on the pieces to keep track of them.

I hope I can keep that up. It makes it so much easier and faster.

I think if I can just start recognizing pieces by their flipped side, I'll keep in mind whether I've done tgat one already. For example if I have Q in my memo and I look at A, I will instantly know that without thinking about the other side.

I'm almost there!

Got my 13th success in 7bld today.
It was the third in a row and the forth out of the last 5 attempts (all done on the weekly competition), my first mean of 3 and average of 5 = 58:27.92

 

[abunickabhi]

Amazing attempt by Rowe!
A bit of time was spent in putting the harmonica holder, and in recall of one cube.

 

[DNF_Cuber]

Congrats to rowe! That one unsolved cube in thumbnail is bothering me though.

I can beat that easily...
if you take away the 'blindfolded' bit, anyway...
But seriously, that looked like complete witchery with how fast it was. Mesmerizing to watch. Great job to Tommy Cherry!
