Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Some very impressive times from people so far this year - looks like it's going to be a good year for BLD!

Wow - that's amazing! I remember my best time was nowhere near that good. I should try it again sometime, though - I've gotten better since then.

I still haven't had time to do my first solve of the year yet - I'll try it tonight.
 
4x4x4 BLD: 6:43.68 [3:22]

Second scramble on the weekly competition. Unfortunately, this can't count as my personal best - it was lucky. A very nice scramble - everyone should try it. I suspect Chris could break his world record time with it. Ville might sub-3 it. :)

And Lars, was your solve the first 5x5x5 BLD from this week's competition? It had an amazing preorient opportunity! Unfortunately, I did it right after I woke up when I was still half asleep, and I also had a pop and had to feel around on the floor for a while to find the piece. I still got a 19 minute successful solve on it.

Nice job on the 4x4 :) I haven't had a sub10 yet.

No, my 15:23 wasn't from the weekly, but I'll try it now.

Wow, it is amazing how fast you make progress.
As I said, do it in next competition!
(I also like the centre reorienting trick, succeeded twice now.
Alas the first had three corners wrong, the second had some +-centres :().

And wow Mike too :).

I finally got a 3x3 success after about 15 failures. :D time was 6:25.xx
I want to try and get more consistent with 3x3 before I attempt 4x4 BLD. And for some reason I always mess up on corners :(
 
Sub-3 average of 5 (3x3 bld):

Average of 5: 2:32.01
1. 2:30.03 F' D2 B' R2 U' B D2 F' D' B' L2 U2 L' R' F2 R U' F R F R2 L F B2 R2
2. 2:27.46 B' F R2 D R F2 L' F2 L' F2 B2 U2 F' B U' R2 L' B U R2 B' D' F L' R2
3. (2:24.68) U2 R2 L2 B' R L' U2 F D2 L R D F2 R2 U' L' D' U' F U L2 U' B' D' B2
4. 2:38.54 B L2 U2 R' L U' L R B' R F2 L2 U D2 L' R2 B' U' L U2 D' B2 F' L2 U2
5. (2:47.06) R2 D2 B2 U' F' B2 R2 F2 R' U F2 R2 U L' D2 L' D2 F' U2 D2 F2 D2 F2 U R'

No DNFs! I think that's my best average of 5 without any DNFs.

Also, this belongs in failures, but it's an accomplishment for me all the same: 1:41 DNF, off by a Y-perm. Would have been my first sub-2.
