Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

7/7 21:08 [12:32] Just practising the locations and memo methods for cubes 9-15 in a proper multi attempt, as I just made most of them up last time. I went a bit faster than I would in a real 15 cube attempt, which probably wasn't the best practise ever, but meh, my 7/7 is 20 seconds slower than my 4/4 pb now :p
 
I'm still taking my sweet-ass time learning and perfecting Old Pochmann before going for full solves. Solving all edges is now easy for me, and I can tell that memorization is getting quite fast. The down side, I has just learned how to do corners, and they are kicking my ass... My goal is still to have a complete solve by 1/16.
 
kinch2002: but multi is boring :p

4x4 BLD: 9:28.34 DNF on stackmat.
My first ever sub-10 attempt. I still have to rush through memo to memorize this quickly (~5 min).
off by 2 twisted corners and 5 wings.
Get ready to yell at me, people :D

Multi is better than bigcubebld imo (atm anyway)
My 4/4 pb is 20:43 and my 7/7 is 21:08 :p
 
I'm getting much much better. Full visual. M2 and Old Pochmann.

9:45.54 for 4x4 bld in weekly competition. First sub-10 :P Approximately 4:30 memo...I'm having a much easier time of just reading the cycles and remembering them, rather than having to read them multiple times and commit them to memory. I'm also getting better at forgetting them quickly, I can only remember bits and pieces of the centers. If you haven't done it yet, don't read below.

I was petrified as I was taking off my blindfold, because I realized I had done a 19-cycle and a 3-cycle of wings, and had never accounted for the 2 other wings--they could very well have been swapped for all I knew (thinking back, I had accounted for one of them because I had first memo-ed the 3-cycle as a 4-cycle, then caught my mistake as one was solved. But I thought I was missing 3 or 4 wings, since I'm not so good at counting). I also knew my last wing image was a bunch of cooks (CX) who were nude (ND) and attacking a fireman (FM), but I couldn't remember if it was CXNDFM or NDCXFM. I figured it out because I would remember D and C being in order, because they're right next to each other, but I've resolved to always have adjectives refer to the thing following them, just to make my life easier. Actually I think that's my only adjective image, maybe I should get rid of it...
