Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Chuck]

It's been two weeks since my last multi BLD, because I've been busy with learning 4x4x4 BLD.
So just a few hours ago I did multi BLD on online competition on Indonesian cubing forum
(http://rubikku.ning.com/).

These are the scrambles. Some scrambles are hard,
they have many pieces flipped and cycle breaks.

1. L2 D2 F D2 U2 F2 R2 B' D2 F R2 U B2 L' D B U2 L'
2. B2 L2 F2 D2 B2 D2 R' D2 U2 R D' F' D2 L B F2 L2 D2 R' D2 R2
3. D2 L2 B2 L2 B2 D2 F2 R' D2 R B' F' L' U' R2 D U' R2 U' L F
4. U2 L D2 R' U2 L D2 R2 F2 R' F' D' L2 F2 U B R' D' F' L' B'
5. L2 U' B2 D' F2 U L2 D' B2 F2 D L2 F' R F2 U2 B2 D B L2 B2
6. D2 R' U2 R F2 L' B2 R B' U B' U2 L U' B' D R2 U L' R'
7. D2 R2 B' U2 L2 B U2 R2 D2 U B' D R' F' U' L B2 U2 L2 D' U2
8. D2 R' U2 L2 B2 R2 B2 R' D2 R U F' R' D2 F2 L D F' L U2 L2

And... hooray! I got 8/8 in 52:25.59
This is my best result ever on multi BLD.
I'm very satisfied

 

[joey]

I got 1:06.93 in competition.

Which puts me at 10th in the world, at the moment.

To show all my fans (haters?) what I can do

I am really happy with this, cos I have said I have gotten fast times at home, but never in comp, so it is nice to finally prove so.

I 'like' this.

I always knew you could do it. Now I want to see a sub-minute solve at US Nationals!

Nice Joey, I'm one
(and I saw your second result would have won too )

Oh wow, great result joey. As you know, I'm a big fan. Before you did the second solve, were you already aware that you had gotten a faster 1st solve than Rowe Hessler?

Also 5x5x5 was pretty awesome for you as well I notice.

 

[joey]

Thanks Tim!

cookingfat, Yep, I saw that My first solve was just a bit faster than rowe's first too. Rowe said to me that he wouldn't even be able to get sub-2..

 

[Chuck]

Hooray! I got new PB on 3x3x3 BLD: 2:20.16 minutes.

Sub 2 I'm coming...

 

[Rosson91]

New PB: 1:00.55
So close to sub 1....

 

[F.P.]

New PB: 1:00.55
So close to sub 1....

Very good.

 

[Yes We Can!]

I tried a few 2x2 Blindsolves with Ortega...
I got 2 successful so far ^^

28.77+ and 50.69

Edit: got 2 more, 1 on tape...

Edit 2: I just got 17.23+

Edit 3: I just got 14.45+

 

[Pitzu]

Clock blindfolded:
Single: 3:55.55
Memo: 52
Execution: 3:03

Average of 5: 4:26.27

With ER holder Clock.

 

[Slash]

4x4 blindfolded: 17:49.78
my old PB was 19:19.77
memo: 11:25
execution: 6:24 - so bad, because I solved with my broken Meffert's(corner broken, repaired with super glue)
Its my 4th success. Looking forward to more successfull solves, and maybe a sub15(?)

Congrats! Hopefully you will solve it in Düsseldorf!

 

[Yes We Can!]

Yuhuuu

I just got 3 successfull 2x2 BLD solves in a row, the following two were each off by two pieces ! All 3 solves were sub-1
I don't even now a method, I simply solve the first face with setup + yperm and then I do OLL with commutators... then I do XLL =D It's actually quite good, when you have a easy first face

 

[CuBeOrDiE]

I know this isn't such a great accomplishment, but I learned to solve a 2x2 blind in two days! I'm very bad at memorization, though...it takes me 5 minutes to figure out how to solve a 2x2 and another 2 or 3 minutes to memo!

 

[Chuck]

Second Attempt!
(I thought I would have it successful at 7th or 8th
attempt! Good GOD. The first ended with 1/3)

Memorization: 32 minutes
(Letter pair/Image based/Roman rooms)

Execution: 47 minutes
(My bad, I'm still very slow)

Total time: 1 hour 19 minutes
(This video is long, you may want to skips)

It's my 6th months in cubing & 3rd months in BLD cubing.
Multi BLD & Big Cubes BLD is so much fun.

Thanks a lot for watching this.
Any comment would be wonderful to me!

Dedicated to Mike Hughey, Virkill, Marten Smit, Brian Yu, & special to Crazycubemom. Also thanks for Iway & Andy (Jogja Cuber) for the second & third Eastsheen cubes.

Now I can finally go to my first competition,
INDONESIAN OPEN 2009, with confidence!!!

 

[MatsBergsten]

Sub-2

At last!! 1.58
(actually 1.56+2 because the outer layer turned more than 45 deg. in the drop)
And that with pure commutator solving style. No M2 for me any longer, it has
taken a very long time to get as fast with this as with M2.

No solved pieces at all, but easy with one 11-cycle for edges and one 7-cycle
for corners (and no hard combinations either).

I am very impressed . I must try that sometime.

But I think you could go with confidence to competition anyhow,
You don't do 4x4 Multi in the competition really ??
