Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

whooaaaaaaaaaa
35:18 8/9 (memo was like 25 minutes, I looked at the timer after solving 2 cubes and it was at 27:19)
what happened that this was so fast? :eek: after memoing the first cube I was like "do I really want to finish this attempt, my mind is so slow this morning..." yeah it was :D :D
execution went fast, no recall delays at all. the only dnf was on cube #8 (solving order) and it was similar to my 6/7 at worlds: I picked up the cube with wrong orientation:fp (I do bld with wihte top, orange front, at worlds i picked up my last cube with white-green, now white-blue) after both of the attempts I tracked the solutions back and both was OK :(

29.80 LOL. Who counts PBs anyway? With freestyle it's not really all that lucky. ;)

Wow! Nice!

Edit: 1:46.20. I don't see how you did it so fast. I think it would take me over 30 seconds to execute just the edge flips and corner rotations alone. Of course, that was half the solve...

1:58:75 (52).
I used a really really bad cube, otherwise I'm sure I could have easily cut down my execution time by at least 20 seconds.

YEAH!!! 4x4 Blindfolded solve at Hungarian Open! and my time is 17:38, a new PB!!! I cant belive it! I am third with this solve in NR and on the competiton also.. My multi and 5x5bld result are in the failures thread...:(
 
4x4x4 BLD attempt of 3
1. DNF in 12:41.15 (05:46.22), 2 centers off
2. 11:51.36 (05.12.00) 8 centers were solved
3. New PB 10:29.67 (04.01.36) 10 centers & 1 edge were solved

At last, a sub 11. But 10 centers were already solved, so I'm not so happy about this :(

At this rate, I'm trying so hard to convince myself that I haven't already at my speed limit, because I don't know what else to improve. I've always memorize as fast (but still safe) as I can. As for the execution, yeah Maarten was right, I'm so slow at any solve. FYI, for 4x4x4 BLD I'm using 8-move commutator, r2 (and really slow at the DFr > UBl shooting algorithm - UB'RU'B r2 B'UR'BU' :fp), and Classic Pochmann.

I will be very grateful if anyone want to kindly give me any advice.

I use x' U' R' U R' F R F' r2 F R' F' R U' R U, it's a bit longer, but I think it's a lot faster.

Congratulations - that's awesome!

What are your breakdowns in terms of time required for each step? (Memorization time per type of piece, execution time per type of piece.) That would zero in on any particular weaknesses.

Also, I don't remember reading anything about the details of your memorization approach, although I remember you saying that you were doing memory stuff before you came to cubing. Do you have a prememorized image list? It cut tons of time off my times when I developed one.

And if I were to guess that your "PAPA" is "person-action-person-action" (of course, that could be a very bad guess, but it would be my guess), would that mean over a thousand prememorized images required? I've often wondered if doing something like that might improve my memorization significantly.
 
3 consecutive 4x4x4 BLD successes :D It's on cubemania.org :)

10:30.90, 9:09.87, 10:37.62

Should I go for a fourth attempt?
 
4:58.xx using M2 and 3OP.
Not a PB for BLD in general, but for this method it's my first successful solve ;)
Don't have the scramble anymore, but orientation was 2 sunes on U and D (which is always nice), permutation was a double transposition I knew and a 3 cycle. Edges were just easy to memo and I didn't mess them up for once!
I reckon I can get sub 2 in like 7 days, I'm totally obsessed now :D

It's nice, Maarten. Thanks :)
You should post it on Official BLD Algorithms thread.

Oh right, I haven't do that! :eek:
Thanks, Mike. I will time my steps on the next attempts.

Wow, good guess! :) :) :) Yes, I'm using Person-Action-Person-Action! For edges, I have 22 persons and 22 actions. For corners, I have 21 persons and 21 actions. So, it's only 86 prememorized images, not even a thousand. As for big cubes centers, I'm using letters without any prememorized words or images.

Oh my... Now that I think about it, maybe I can try to give PAPA to my centers with the same PAPA I gave for the adjacent corners. For example, I can name Ubr center with the same name for UBR corner. I've never thought about it, because I learned 4x4x4 BLD from your How-To thread.

Thank you, Mike. Your advice give me a lot of insights. :)

Yes, I think it's faster and stronger on a long term memorization (like multi and big cubes BLD). Only with a lot of practice we can use it fast for single BLD. You should try it sometime, it's only 86. ;)
