Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Mike Hughey]

this scramble is silly.

+1 (But still, 22.08 is amazing, even on a silly scramble like this, so nice job!) (And I do wonder how fast Spef could do it. Surely sub-15?)

And congratulations, Mats - you're about to get faster than me. I did a 1:29.22 on that scramble - I made a mistake and actually had to undo and fix something to solve it. I still don't think I could have managed a 1:03 on it, though. (So perhaps you already have gotten faster than me.)

Thank you, but no, I've never had even a dnf that fast before. But on this solve the letters suited me perfect, I got a fluent story in no time, no rehearsal. Actually I spent what felt like a long time (probably only just a second) checking that I was ready with all pieces . You can think a lot in 24 seconds.

On the other hand I just smashed my
new 5x5 PB. Yesterday morning I made a 19:46.16 on the first weekly 5x5BLD.
This morning I had that 1:03.52 on the 3x3 BLD. Now I have
done the others and started on the "normal" scrambles this week and on
number two I got 16:54.55!!! Memo 9:25. So exec in only 7:30.

Congratulations Mats, that's awesome!

Just had a cube meetup with the norwegian crew, lots of fun. I realize I will never be any fast speedsolving (STILL average 20sec) so blind is what I find most fun in.

I also think that it is better to rush solves to push yourself, the accuracy will come after some time. Today I was doing some BLD attempts, when I got the following scramble:

Scramble: Li Ri B D Ui Bi D2 U2 F2 D2 B L2 D2 L F R2 Ui Bi R2 Ui L Fi L B

Rushed it with only going through the memo once, attempted it and got a 51.33. Rush for the win.

AND BTW: I SUCK explaning my method. I think only I understand the logic behind it.

Lol.

Where did you get the scramble from?

EDIT: For some reason, that post reminded me of that girl who puked at the meet-up. I have a twisted mind. O_O

Umm, Morten, why did you bolden the i of Li? It makes no sense...

Because it says i instead of '.

I got it from my cubetimer application on iPhone, thus having to manually write in to my computer Was shaking like creeezy and making the ' is kind of retardnation imo

I felt soooo sorry for the girl And the little dude, hope all goes well for him.

Just realized...

WCA Rankings
3x3x3 BLD: 10
4x4x4 BLD: 3
5x5x5 BLD: 2
MultiBLD: 3

Total: 18 = best all-around blindcuber with no WR

I was wondering what the list looked like so I made it up. Oddly enough, NOBODY with a current BLD WR has done all four events! So I'm not surprised you're on top ;-) Rafal is at a relatively close second, then people start grouping up a bit.

I could totally be third on that list if I got a 5x5 success.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Must. Beat. Hug. Hey.

 

[kinch2002]

Must get better at 3bld!

 

[Sebastien]

nice List. I like beeing in there

[Sakarie]

Hey, I only need a good 5bld to get... Oh, and probably a multi too. I might as well have a good 3x & 4x too.

If I had all that, I might get on the list!

 

[Faz]

(1:26.86), 1:45.86, (DNF), 1:31.83, 1:37.30, 1:55.40, 1:41.72, 1:34.36, DNF

The 2nd DNF was by 2 flipped edges, as I didn't see the flipped edge :fp

After the first 3, I went for safe solves, and got an average of 5, and then continued. I'll roll it tomorrow.

 

[aronpm]

21:14 < aronpm> i think I got 1:30.70 avg5
21:14 < aronpm> (1:16.81), DNF, 1:39.41, 1:18.80, 1:33.88

 

[Yes We Can!]

YEEEEEEH!

Beat my old 4x4 BLD PB by 3:07 minutes and therefore I got my first sub-15! Better than Sébastien too

First scramble of the weekly competition 26.

14:20.89

8 pieces were solved by reorienting.
