4x4 bld success on second attempt!

21:11.xx memo
6:50.xx execution

That was a lot of fun. This has been a goal of mine since I started cubing 3 years ago and also something I wanted to check off the list this summer. I'm so excited, I don't know what to do now.

Oh yeah, I need a centers memo method...

Very, very cool. Congratulations!

My dad's at the other side of the world. Literally.

Online transfers work quite well...

Now if only he knew how to turn on a computer :rolleyes:

3x3 BLD: 5:49.88
B' U' B2 D F2 R' L U2 F B' U2 L F' U' R' D' F U' D' R' L2 F U L2 D

This is my second success ever Memo was ~3:30 or something :rolleyes:

New NL PB:

57.49 L' B2 R' L' U R' F' L2 D2 B2 F2 R2 L D2 L B L B F2 U L2 R' D' F2 R2

1 solved edge, 1 solved corner, 1 corner flipped

Dayan Guhong is awesome for BLD. You can go real fast without worrying about popping

 

[blah]

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.

So after 2 6-cube failures (4/6, 5/6) I decided to try 7.

Nice Maarten, now you have to go for eight too. And with your speed you ought to make it ten!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

I'm having a hard time dealing with 7. I'll take it slowly, thanks

YAY MAARTEN

 

[Yes We Can!]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

 

[guitardude7241]

i finished my first bld solve yesterday, about my 10th attempt overall(ab 8 the day before, this one was the second of the day).. 'twas very fun. took about 20 mins

Finally some improvement towards that elusive sub-1 solve.

3x3x3 BLD: 1:07.56

Scramble: F D2 L B' U L' U2 F L' R' B' F' D2 U B2 L' B F2 D' U2 L R F2 U' B

Not lucky - just one edge piece solved - but a very easy scramble for me; all nice commutators.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Yay Mike

4^3 BLD: 8:01,63, new PB

 

[Feryll]

Yes! Finally, this was over 4 months in the making at least. My 8th full attempt, I finally completed my first 4x4 BLD It was a pity I didn't time this attempt, but the memo started last night, and I decided to try it in the morning since it was getting late. I didn't time the execution either, because I was using my tiled QJ, and I didn't want to be rushed and make a pop/slip. I expect to get sub-20 soon, though Also, at the end I was close to taking off the blindfold without fixing the final odd corner permutation parity! That would have been bad.

EDIT: Also, what would something like "4^3 BLD" mean?

Congratulations
4^3, as in 4x4x4 BLD.

I think I'm going to get a good 5x5 soon, after I get sub-15. I feel like I can memo so much more centers, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
