Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

A bit of a failure as well, but I'll post it here.

39.08, (36.61), 56.43, 44.40, DNF(45.85) = 46.63 (not pb)

On the DNF I twisted 3 corners the wrong way, so the 56.43 counted.

36.61 is my nl pb, one edge + one corner solved and no new cycles.
The failure is doing a U-perm on the wrong edges, and having to undo it and apply it to the correct pieces. So I lost a bit of time.

Scramble is from the BLD race:
L U' F R2 D' F R2 B D' U' B2 U B L F2 L' R2 F D' L' F' U2 R U' B2

Very fast Zane. Congrats. Got 1:31.94 with that scramble which I'm very happy with atm. Anyway my accomplishment is 20 bh algs learnt. Getting back into bld and switching to bh corners. Decided to learn most of it non-intuitively with algs and just use setup moves to lower the amount I have to learn.

Thanks. The BLD race is an excellent way to practice and Mats has added big cubes BLD to it. You tried scramble #15, so it's not like you can't participate. :tu

New 3BLD PB for me: 1:00.86. Getting closer and closer to sub-1....

 

[porkynator]

6/6 in 34:45 (27:08 memo)
It was my second attempt.
I've got my first competition on Saturday, how many cubes do you guys think I should try to solve for multi?

 

[blakedacuber]

yeah why not.. i would if i could

 

[Rubiks560]

After two years of using: orient corners, permute corners, orient edges, permute edges. I finally decided to learn Old Pochmon/M2. And within one day got my first success 7:23.67

as much as you can solve in an hour

 

[RyanReese09]

I'd do 8. if it was my first.

 

[porkynator]

I'll try 7 or 8 cubes at home this week... but maybe they're too many for a competition

 

[lucarubik]

i made 6/8 in 59 in my first competition, ill try 8 in my next, but only cause im looking for NR, if in the first try i got the NR ill try 10 in my second

I think I can try only once Saturday. It's a small competition (only one day), I don't think there are 2 rounds

New BLD PB! 1:47.97! First ever Sub 2 BLD! Woohoo~

Edge memo: 15 Sec
Corner memo: 35 Sec
Total memo: 50 Sec
Execution: 57 Sec

What do I work on? I use OP/M2. Edge memo is letters (Phonetics with sets of 4 or 6 + Pairs for odd sounds) and Corners are visual. Corners seem to take forever

I think you should use letters for corners as well, they shouldn't take longer than edges.

 

[lucarubik]

its hard to memo 20 letters in english, it s easier in spansih
try to make words with letter pairs, im still better memoing edges with audio loop (sub 10 avg) but with practice i hope i can memo sub 15 avg the whole cube

Good. :tu
Probably try 9 at the very most. You need to allow for the pressure of a competition, and usually with pressure comes slower memo, memo that doesn't stick, and multiple errors in both memo and execution.

as much as you can solve in an hour

Definitely not.

 

[RyanReese09]

1:27.44 3bld .

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

1:27.44 3bld .

='(.

Can somebody here please slap some sense into me so I start actually practicing?

 

[RyanReese09]

Fly down here and I'll give you the swiftest kick in the groin that this world has ever known.

 

[blah]

Definitely not.

And why not?
