Conny, your execution is too fast. My M2+Yperm sighted is only just sub 50, and definitely not whilst blindfolded.

It's actually easier blindfolded than sighted because you already know where the next shot has to go because you already memorized it. When sighted you have to look for that first. I always think of that as "BLD look-ahead" :D

EDIT:
4x4 BLD 9:02.52 on stackmat :D Finally! Best time ever, almost sub-9!
Still using nooby T-Perm centers :/

2:49.47 3x3 bld, ~1:20 memo.

corners: AD QUH CN
parity
edges: U TJ LP ASW MGX

Switched to corners first, so I memo edges (usually about 50 seconds), then memo corners, then review corners, bldfold on, solve corners and then solve edges.

edit: 2:36.22 3x3 bld 1:19 memo.

corners: X JIREN l2 headlights l2
edges: CUWN AT VGM JPA

BLD news from Helsinki for me:
3bld: 3 dnfs oh noes.
4bld: accomplishment = attempting it! Most of the centres were solved, apparently I had the corners solved at one point but I must have messed them up during something. Edges were mainly scrambled. Was about 13mins, so pretty ok time wise.
multi: 1/3.. again the accomplishment is actually not being too lazy to try. It was 10mins ish, so that's okay for slow people like me. One cube was 2 2-cycles of edges off, and the other was a 3cycle of edges off. I was quite annoyed actually, I thought I had them right.

For Ville: FINNALLY sub40! 39.53 ER
And of coure 10:03 5bld.. so close to sub-10.. but next time! (after two DNFs.. so a safety solve :D)

Awesome, Joey! I'm happy to hear it!

And of course 10:03 5bld.. so close to sub-10.. but next time! (after two DNFs.. so a safety solve :D)
Of course that had to be a safety solve. I'm just curious - @Ville, what do you do for a safety solve? Trace through the pieces for the memorization a second time? Go really slow through the execution so you can follow each piece through it? I'm just curious what your approach to a safety solve is.
 
First sub30!
Only 2 edges solved, I think that counts as non-lucky.
