Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[Julian]

First ever success. Forgot about timer but I finished at like 10 minutes. Memo was 7. No new cycles for the entire solve

Congrats, Eric, keep at it!

Congrats. Now do it faster. Gogogo!

Gogo Eric, get multi BLD NAR at Nats....

 

[EricReese]

I dont plan on getting Nar. But I will be attempting 13 cubes.

very easy corners!

Second ever 3x3 blind solve! Used old pochmann with memo-10:30 min and entire solve- 15:08 min

multiBLD 8/8 in 26:21 (17:22)

2 weeks back into practice now and finally a nice result. 9 min for 8 cubes execution was surprising for me. Still nowhere near Zane performance.

8/8 in 55:44.22

Was only unsure about one sune twist on corners (awkward corner placements) and one I wasn't sure I would remember it ..the memo wasn't all that great to work with.

BUT YES. 9 next week when I get my order of cubes coming in. SOO close to NAR I can taste it :3.

I had 3 cubes memo'd at 9 minutes, I slow down too much in the later stages.

This is very good improvement Ryan!

I got a new PB: 3:46.45. It was my first sub-4 ever. All my solves in the session after that were actually sub-4, with one being a DNF at 3:20 because I forgot to flip a piece - darn.

Thanks Micael! O_O at 8 cube execution in 9 minutes, that's faster then my single cube BLD execution time, what execution method do you use? Commutators? I feel as though I could drop a lot of time off by switching to comms instead of M2/Yperm, but I'd DNF too much <_<.

 

[Micael]

I use M2/R2. I just had a good recall. Sighted, I average 50-55.

Working on your memory would be way more productive for you at your current level. M2/Classic-Pochmann could still break the multi WR.

Any ideas on how to practice my memory mid week so come Saturday when I do multi I will be better prepared for memo/recalling? Come Saturday I'll probably be capped out at 9 cubes for the 1 hour limit, if I have good memory come Saturday, I'll be sub1hour, which will leave 10 cubes as my limit.

I only plan to have attempts at NAR over the next few months (unless you put it out of reach ), WR is out of my see-able grasp at this moment in time .

Nice to see your times levelling to where they use to be. :tu

Still nowhere near Zane performance.

This accuracy is better than my performance.

I feel so accomplished!! Two days ago, (same day I posted on the "One answer BLD question thread"), I started to actually try some BLD solves... And today I got my first one!!!
It may sound like something awfully simple to the pros reading this, but, hell, I am so satisfied right now. And it's fun!

Yay, I got my first succesful solve on a cube with parity (because of some weird reason I always screw up)
time: 7 minutes and 15 seconds (don't know the hundreds)
Edge memo: KiloMeters Cause Quitters, En U Neukt Ooit, Toilet Paper Just Goes, Jan
AB flipped
corner memo transcribed
RDF LUF, URF, UBR, LDB, BDR, BRU (memod simply as red, orange, white, white, orange, blue, blue in combination with taps)
handscrambled by me, two colleagues and me again so I don't have a scramble

Now the annoying part, I was doing the blindsolve to prove to my colleagues that I can blindsolve, but nobody was watching during the actual solve. meh.

 

[RyanReese09]

First ever ao5 IIRC, and PB single. Previous PB before this was 1:55. I should practice more. I'm finally starting to trust auditory, and it's awesome because it's literally instant to say the letter of where it goes. Corner memo is fast .

Harvard 4bld:
9:58 dnf off by a lot
10:40 success (pb!)
9:03.16 success (STACKMAT!)

 

[EricReese]

8:02.40 BLD success beat PB by about 2 minutes. So happy. Still using single letter pairs and not using M2 yet, both of which I hope to know before Cornell

I am 2/2 now

Had about 5 minutes memo 3 minutes execution

 

[AJ Blair]

2:33.47 BLD success! Still using Old Pochmann for both edges and corners...whatever, was epic!

 

[rock1313]

YES!

I got my first 4x4 blindfold success today.
