Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Tim Reynolds]

I guess I can claim this as an accomplishment: Smallest competition (UIUC) with full podiums for both 4x4 BLD and 5x5 BLD. Other competitions to have full podiums for both were WC2009, Jakarta Open 2010, and Aachen Open 2011, all of which had way more total competitors than this one did.

I think Helsinki Open had fewer competitors:

I think Helsinki Open 2011 didn't have full podium for 4x4x4 bld and 5x5x5 bld.

But only two people succeeded at 5x5 blindfolded...by "full podium" I mean 3 people succeeded, so that you have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (not counting DNFs).

 

[irontwig]

Oops... missed "5bld"... -_-'

Edges success then after an almost corners success. Gonna practice memo at school tomorrow on my mini maru

5/5 - 12:13.16 mins
Some pauses, not really fast.

4x4x4 BLD - 8:30.64 mins
I didn't go for speed, normal solve.

Congrats on your 5x5x5 blind solve and congratulations to Dan Cohen for his first ever 4x4x4 blind solve!

 

[Sebastien]

Congrats [...] to Dan Cohen for his first ever 4x4x4 blind solve!

Tied rank with me and the only shared rank in the 4x4x4 BLD list!

I was really laughing when I saw this

[Yes We Can!]

53.74, 1:04.61, 1:14.04, 56.64, 1:08.57, DNF(1:00.27), 1:09.51, 59.64, 1:15.77, DNF(1:30.39), 1:10.50, DNF(1:30.09) = 1:05.89 mean 9/12

pretty crappy :/

 

[kinch2002]

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.

Only just saw this. Congrats! All that perseverance at home has paid off massively You should do feet just to join the all-events club

I should join soon, too
I just have to go to a competition with feet... which is almost never being done in German competitions.
Maybe Worlds? ;_; If I can go.

Scandinavia often has them

We do? Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia.

Come on! If England can be a part of Europe, then Finland could be a part of Scandinavia.

 

[Rune]

"Scandinavia[1] is a region in northern Europe that includes Denmark and two of the Scandinavian Peninsula's countries, Norway and Sweden. In common English usage, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are often grouped with Scandinavia."

 

[kinch2002]

Sorry I didn't realise Finland wasn't Scandinavia. Anyway, Sweden had feet in September, and Danish (are they Scandinavia?) comps have it too

In the upcoming months, among European competitions, there are comps holding WF in Norway, France, Netherlands and Denmark. The last three are neighbouring Germany, you should try to go to at least one of them.

(and if you come to Neptune Open, Kanneti will have some competition for 3^3 speed )
