Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Toad]

Thank you for the kind words The streak is 23 now btw.
@Iril: I didn't do 22 a day but one per day for 22 days.

If I recall correctly, Tim Reynolds had a pretty similar streak going at one point that he told me about.

I think you regularly recall correctly Mike considering your general BLD skills...

Sorry, couldn't resist a blind cubing pun

 

[Toad]

Sorry for double post but this is an accomplishment and a half!!

Having hardly got any successes with new method (M2 and pure visual) my first solve of the evening is a very nice 4:15 success then I get this STUPID scramble and get 3:11.42!!

Definitely sub40 able by lots of people...

I don't think I've done 22 5x5BLD attempts yet

Also, Chester, non-Japanese words should be in katakana, not hiragana

So ロル.

Nub. It IS Japanese.

My rikai-kun can't make anything of it. What does it mean?

No.

You started in the beginning of February which doesn't make you extremely new to BLD. You also said the same thing about OH.

Yes.

I started on February 20th, also practiced bld on the 21st. Then I didn't even try to solve my cube bld for more than 2 weeks. Just started again on March 10th. I only had about 10 successful sovles after the 3:55 time, with 8 of them being from March 10th to March 12th.

That sounds pretty new to me.

So if I restart an event I haven't done in 2 weeks, I'm extremely new to that event?

No, all I'm saying is that I'm new to bld. Some people have been doing it for years. I only had like 3 or 4 attempts on the 20th/21st. It's not like I restarted something that I've been doing for a while or was good at.

How good you have become Simon! But that is valid for almost all cubing
events now . Very nice!

Are you using M2 / classic P corners or are you using BH corners?
Do you use any new memo technique or is it just a lot of practice?

M2 / Old Pochmann

I memo edges with person/action and corners visually. I guess it's just a lot of practise, really.. I memo in around 45-60s now

[Isbit]

6/10 in 90 minutes.
I guess the biggest accomplishment was that I didn't faint, felt kinda dizzy afterwards.
some flipped edges, + that I forgot the corner memo on two cubes. I remembered that they had one picture in common, so if I'd remembered one of them I would've remembered the second one as well.

Still have to get 5/5 though

[Feryll]

First sub-5 solve on the 3x3x3! 4:23.86! I ALMOST forgot the two flipped edges in the end, but I did it at the last second. Can someone tell me how good of a time this is for a relatively big amount of practice, and how I can be more consistent? Thanks.

I don't practice anywhere near enough.
