Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Zane_C]

4x4 BLD 20:33, got it for the week 22 comp.
My edge memorising had so many mistakes resulting in a 12 minute memo (8 minutes just for the edges) As this is only my 4th success it is a pb.

Solved my first parity on 2x2x2 during weekly comp 22

Well, actually the solve was still a DNF since I was off by AUF after fixing (my first ever solved...) parity
However this was a very good learning case!
"do not forget to undo the initial set up move to bring the "to be flipped" piece to RFD." I think I now fully understand the corner parity.

I gues that qualifies as an accomplishment.

Thank you forum, old Ochman method and Joel for helping me succeed in blindfold cubing!

What do you mean parity? Parity isn't an issue in 2x2 BLD with Old Pochmann...

 

[Cubenovice]

I see now that I, being the cubenovice that I am, used the wrong term...
I meant ending up with the last two corners twisted and having to fix that by.

My apologies for the confusion and fail-comment

Ok, I started to practice (again) some 3x3x3 bld about a week ago and I've been doing 3-10 solves per day.
I don't use whole words anymore for my edges, I changed them to single letters.
It starts to feel less painful to memorize the whole cube now, still some struggling, tho
I currently average around 5 min and I've done 2 sub4 min solves.

Anyway, just made a new PB: 3.28.64
memo: 1.57 min
solving edges: 60 sec
solving corners: 31 sec

EDIT: R B' R' F' L D2 L' R' B2 L D2 B2 D U R F' D' U B2 L2 R2 B2 D U' L

This is how I memorized it:
edges: marsdwkynikez
corners: front7 back6 3 2 5 side8 side4

blue-red edge was on its place flipped, but I have to do 2 T perms to fix that, so it didn't really help

I use Pochmann. J, L and T perms for edges, Y, J and L for corners.

My goal is to get NR in the next competition (~august-september).
No, wait.. I forgot Ville is finnish.. well, maybe sub-3 min should be good enough for me.
I don't think I have change to beat even Johannes' time (2.12) with this method.
Unless I learn to memorize in less than 30 seconds or something

This is how I memorized it:
edges: marsdwkynikez

Damn.

 

[Konsta]

This is how I memorized it:
edges: marsdwkynikez

Damn.

Only afterwards I usually see better ways to remember
My memo went more like this: marsdwkynikez
That ez was flipped blue-red edge, that I didn't actually memorize as "ez", just what piece was flipped.

Oh, and I totally forgot to say the parity, but of course it was there too :fp

 

[nlCuber22]

Yeah. I would remember it more like "mars, dw, ky, nikez" because of Mars the planet, DW (Drum Workshop), KY (Kentucky) and Nikez (just Nike with a Z.)

 

[Konsta]

Yeah. I would remember it more like "mars, dw, ky, nikez" because of Mars the planet, DW (Drum Workshop), KY (Kentucky) and Nikez (just Nike with a Z.)

Dw and ky are hard for me, can't connect them to anything in my mind.
Kynig was König with a little twist.
Maybe I should try to connect some difficult letter-pairs to something familiar in the future.
Luckily there are some 'hard' combinations that makes more sense without any effort.
I guess it comes easier with practice and you start to make same connections.
Now it's just random

*google*
Hm.. nope, that doesn't do it.
But maybe I could use something like a DragonWarrior for now on.
And only if there's a lot of hard letters in a row.
You can always remember couple random letters between 'words'.

Heh. I guess you don't need to do 17 after all. But I still think 17 (or 18!?!) would be more fun.

Either way, I can't wait to see what you do tomorrow morning!

GOGOGO WR!

Nearly accomplished arranging edges....missed one
Then on to figuring out corners

I just beat my 3x3 pb with 0.7 seconds (1:08.11), but unlike previous time, I held the cube in my hand from the start, because I sat in a car. How much is that worth in time?
