Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Mike Hughey]

P.S. You 5x5 BLD people are crazy now! I'm certainly still practicing, and have not given it up, but the times nowadays are super fast! Good luck everyone with smashing my old record, it sounds like it will probably happen many times over, and by more than one person very soon!

Best/worst case scenario: Your WR gets broken by 5 people (and possibly more than 5 times) in one weekend. In no particular order (yeah right ):

Ville
Tim
Mike
Me
Dan <--- lol

I don't know if Rafal is competing, but they don't appear to have 5x5x5 BLD as an event at the Polish Open

Or, it might just be an epic fail weekend for everyone and you get to keep your WR

Exactly what I was thinking. Someone mentioned the possibility of Rafal competing. Also, there are a few other Europeans who are starting to be capable of it - Benelux might beat us all to it.

Dan lol. Now watch, he'll be the only one of us who does it. (Hey, it could really happen!)

And I think you belong higher on the (non-ordered, yeah right) list than me now.

But Chris, you'll always be our hero. You were the one who showed us how to do it reasonably fast. Thank you so much for introducing me to big cubes BLD with your tutorials - I'll always be grateful.

Just basically started learning a more advanced 3x3 BLD method yesterday. Only solved a cube bld w/ my slower method a few times. Just got my first successful solve on this method and it was a PB. (Old Pochmann/M2 learned from Limeback).

7:22.67 ... (I think the memo was 4:xx)
D2 R2 D' R' B F2 L R U' L R' B2 L2 U2 R' B F L2 R' B' R F L' F L

Plenty of room for improvement.

first 3x3 AO5, 2:32.72. half a second slower than my old single PB
Broke it two times during the session:

1: 02:37.15
2: 02:25.67
3: 02:35.34
4: DNF (02:40.37)
5: 02:23.36

6/6 53:01.90

I need more BLD usable cubes to try more.

Edit: I also need to stop going over my memo a million times. This accounts for my recent accuracy, but that's no fun. I want to fail a lot of cubes miserably. Sounds like fun.

2nd solve w/ new method, 5th solve of life. 3x3 BLD

6:01.77

there are only 4...

 

[blah]

Sub-SK, I think.

 

[ShadenSmith]

Sub-SK, I think.

Check that off the list...

 

[blah]

Yeah but. I think he means in comp.

 

[tfray94]

Whoo! First Blindsolve!

Hate it when i get interrupted while trying to memorize. Took me a total of like 20 minutes just to memo. Had to keep stopping. Whatever.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Sub-SK, I think.

In what, 5x5BLD? That's not part of it.

 

[blah]

Sub-SK, I think.

In what, 5x5BLD? That's not part of it.

Why not?

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Sub-SK, I think.

In what, 5x5BLD? That's not part of it.

Why not?

I should've been more explicit: to beat me at 3x3 BLD in competition.

 

[blah]

I hate you.

 

[MichaelP.]

First sub 10 BLD. I'm happy about it.

 

[Death_Note]

oh yeah my first blindfold solve
time: 20min (lmao) :fp

 

[roller]

Today after days of trying to understand how the blindfold works, i solved it for the first time
And i got it on the video as well
But one layer was already completed (i used badmephisto's scramble )

That's great, and I'm glad that you've started to do blindfolded. But I'm afraid that a solve with a scramble where one layer is already solved, doesn't count as a full solve. But keep on working!

I know it doesn't count! :L
But i'm proud anyway
Will hopefully do first FULL solve today
Thank you for the support
