Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Isaac VM]

After a long cubing hiautus (about 4.5 years) I returned and one of my new goals is to do a succesfull 3bld solve.
In the last couple of weeks I re-learned OP and started to understand cycle breaks and how memo works.
I started doing only corners and writing my letter pairs in a notebook and then perform the execution with a blindfold, after some attempts I managed to solve the corners! The next step was with the edges, because there are 4 more edges it was more difficult but nothing impossible.
Once I got better at solving corners/edges with the aid of writing my letter pairs, I decided to stop writing them and to actually memorize them, I thought it would be harder but it seems it is not that hard so I decided to do a complete 3bld attempt and I managed to almost solved it, I just had two flipped edges! Not bad for the first full 3bld attempt

I will try another one tonight, oh and btw, 3bld is very fun!

After several failures I did it!!!
I managed to get my first succesfull blindfolded solve!!!
Corners were easy as one was already solved but the edges were not that easy, I had some trouble getting a solid memo because the letter pairs were not very familiar, because of that it makes the success even more special!

I memorised corners first, then edges, excuted edges first and then corners. When solving the last two corners I was getting nervous but I managed to not screw it!

Time was 9 minutes 9 seconds for both memo and execution

A bit faster than this one:

48 puzzle blindfolded by Yuichi Hamada in 48:52.41[5:32.88]

World's first success in 48 puzzle blindfolded (7x7 slide puzzle) by Yuichi Hamada in 48:52.41[5:32.88]. Super interesting thing to attempt, I have seen people do 15 puzzle blindfolded a lot, but doing a bigger puzzle and that too not on slidysim is super cool. PS: He is a 40+ cuber and...

I don’t think, that my scramble was luckier - the hole wasn’t in a good position.

And the annual Pyraminx Crystal blind (memo took long and exe wasn’t fast, too - but I take it):

I got a 3BLD PB of 2:23.06! The corners were average, but there were 2 solved and 1 flipped edge. Memo time was about 1:10.

I now hold the world record for closest 3BLD result to sub-20 that is not actually sub-20.

3/3 MBLD success!!! timing was odd though as I out of habit used stackmat then realized it would run out and changed to Keyboard on CStimer. Time was certainly under 19 minutes, probably closer to 18.

Messed up corner execution on 3BLD cube. (GN KD CO HD) I think N was executed as O.
