5:08 DNF

Second real attempt ever.
It's an accomplishment imo.

Were you like puking or just a bit lightheaded? I have never had 3 beers.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone puke after 3 beers.

(10.54), 16.93, 20.83, 17.39, 20.17, 15.90, 12.99, 18.85, (23.66), 15.60, DNF(18.41), 14.91 = 17.72 avg12

Corners BLD. Much better than I expected (was expecting low 20)
16.79 avg5 in there.

Scrambles from Puzzle Timer and timed with qqtimer.

For the record this really is a stupid thing to do. I don't condone doing this, nor do I think it's a good idea to drink just for the sake of cubing. I had already had some drinks with friends, and figured afterward that I would try a BLD solve. 3 beers for me is definitely buzzed, and not safe to drive, but not enough to where you start to feel sick.

4:41.27!!! First success evaaaaaaaaar

WAT
You learned BLD D:

1:28.41 success (new PB) after a 1:22.78 DNF. I'm start to feel comfortable with my images so my journey memorization is improving.

 

[porkynator]

Just memorized a deck of 52 cards in 30 minutes it was my first try... moreover, here in italy it's 1:20 am, not exactly the best hour for my brain to work... I think I can do better next time
p.s.: according to this, how many cubes do you think I can try at multibld? 3-4?

 

[Kynit]

52 card gives you about 3 cubes worth of memo, but each image has more info... you should be able to do 3 or 4 without too much difficulty!

6:01.99 PB 3x3x3 BLD. Actual time was 5:99.99 but it has a +2 penalty .

Been working on a lot of things memo wise and it's shown!
2:35 edge memo
1:10 corner memo (3:45 memo total)
2:14 execution (not including the penalty)

Knowing what letter a sticker is instantly really helps (though I had to ABC for 1 or 2 pieces)
Still a lot of room for improvement .

Got this last night. Smashed my old PB, which was 13:55 (10:40 memo)

Video coming..

Just did 2/3 in 21:38 (14:55 memo)
no trouble in memo... I think i just missed an anti-setup
I'm gonna try 4 as soon as I get some other cubes (I used a F-II spoilt this summer with sand or so, a mini diansheng and a guhong)

also, I used only 1 scheme for memo (Person-Action)... for 3 cubes it's ok, but I think I'll have to use at least another one... how many schemes do you good multiblinder use? One for every cube?

5:99.99, what a nice time

 

[Karth]

First BLD solve two weeks after I started trying to solve BLD,
Old pochmann
I visualise corners, and have 22 letters that represent the edges.
8:12.15 about 5 minute memo

 

[Slash]

5x5x5 BLD 15:46.84 success after 3 beers. Done in the safety of my own home, after some Friday night fun. Surprised I got it, but happy that I still pulled it off I don't condone practicing this, but I figured I would try it.

congratz!
I remember Chester doing some 11ish 5x5blind while drunk (correct me if I'm wrong)

 

[RyanReese09]

5:99.99, what a nice time

5:59.99
I did that solve at like 1 in the morning and typed out the reply then (my internet shuts off at 12:40 due to stupid parents) and I just hit submit this morning

But either way would have been sub6..alas..the penalty

37.37 F U2 B2 F R2 D' U B2 L2 U' D' L2 F2 R2 F2 B U2 F2 U R U L2 U2 F' D2

Heh. First sub-40. Lucky but whatever =p

First team BLD succes with my 5 y/o daughter as caller.

Old Pochman style so she is actually learning a BLD method without realising it...
She uses my mental images too, she already knows about half of them and is even making some up of her own if my images are too abstract for her.

Next goal: to get a team BLD without calling any sticker colors, only images.
