Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Well, not really trouble, but maybe I should experiment with the memo order again. It's been a while. I've always done execution in opposite order of memo, but I think I will try doing it in the same order (except corners though).

Sorry, I mistyped in my previous post. I do not have problems with remembering the memo; I am just unsure if I have gone over all the pieces and not forgotten any cycles! In 333 this is easy as there are only 12 edges to remember. With the 24 in 444 it is abit more tricky! I usually go through it like: Do I have A in my memo? Yes. Do I have B? Yes. etc... !

That takes maybe 2 minutes by itself but atleast I do not forget anything

Ryan: Anytime bro. I live in Norway and I am +1 GMT, I am available from 4pm to 7pm today. Send me your skypename!

 

[LarsN]

Ah, okay. That's a common problem and sometimes I get DNF's just because of that, but not as much as I used to. I solve this by counting while I memo. But this might not work for you since I do visual memo. I memo in blocks of 8 pieces. If my third block is 7 or more I know that I'm done. If it is less I check if there are any pieces in place. Then I add 1 to the block number for each piece in place and 1 for every time I break in to a new cycle. The last part is for floating buffer only. If you use fixed buffer you should subtract 1 from the number for every time you break into a new cycle.

1:03.59 bld execution with old pochmann for edges and corners.

With about 5 seconds of pauses.

4^3 blindfolded: 18minutes 49seconds with beginning at 9.59. I guess my exec sucks but in all fairness QJ sucks. Yaaay personal record. This can become alot faster...

32.43, 47.67, 44.81, 31.39, 40.13, 33.48, (25.73), 48.42, 32.57, 32.55, 40.80, 43.41, 43.06, 37.66, 41.42, 33.56, 48.32, 27.44, 44.77, 37.59, 32.83, 32.07, 44.07, 34.65, 38.86, 29.93, (DNF(47.03)), 46.90, 40.42, 26.49 = 38.13 avg30

Bolded is 32.87 avg5. Slow but accurate, should memo faster.

Since when is sub-40 slow?!

"Very fast and accurate" is how I'd put it, but if you say so. This is just great.

Wtf Spef that's insane

First off I would like to say that Ville's accomplishment with this average of 30 (with only 1 DNF?!?!) is absolutely amazing! The sub-30 solves are especially so to me!

To be fair too, I think Ville here is referring to his perceived pacing while solving. In BLD you can either GOGOGOGO or try to go a bit slower than top speed and try for more accurate solves. The fact that Ville was going at this pace, and achieving those times, is even more amazing to me.

Yes, that makes complete sense; I'm reminded of your 'any faster and my brain will explode!' pacing

5x5 success at UIUC! 27:07, not as good as any of my recent attempts, but hey, it's a success and I'll take it. Forgot one image for about three minutes before I remembered it, I was pretty sure I'd have made a mistake but fortunately no. Second attempt was a 20:xx DNF, off by a lot.

So now I'm ranked in everything but feet. I don't plan on doing feet anytime soon though, so it'll stay that way.

New pB 3blind: 3:08.99

 

[slocuber]

3rd try, 3rd success
The time was 8:17 [6:54]
Memo was slow, because I want a 5 success streak.
I am uploading a video now.
My success rate is 100%, 3/3
EDIT: 3x3 BLD

 

[Yes We Can!]

(50.46), 56.86, 54.22, 1:00.88, (DNF)

yay, second sub-1 avg5!

 

[x-colo-x]

First MBLD success! First try ever. I love first try successes.

Holy poop MBLD is hard with pure visual. I really need to go image based...

2/2 8:15

I was an idiot and refreshed the page and lost the scrambles...

I learnt the corner method for old pochmann and solved 2x2x2 blindfolded for the first time today
