notice that there are 6 corners and 12 edges, and I had to break into new cycles in both edges and corners, memo was 11 seconds so great execution

I now have more official 5bld solves than solves at home. 24:15 at harvard, 13:30 memo.

Took an extra 2 minutes of review that probably wasn't necessary. But I had just had a 29:59dnf with awful memo and a ton of mistakes while doing memo, so I didn't want to rush.

Also, successful solves in 2 rounds of 3x3, 1 round of 4x4, and 1 round of 5x5. Good bld day

Congratulations, Tim! And from what you've described before about your 5x5x5 BLD practice, I'd love to know the difference in accuracy rate between competition and at home. Sounds like you're, what, 4 or 5 times as accurate in competition as you are at home? (Surely there can't be many others in the world with that kind of difference in favor of competitions.)

Hi everyone... I just successfully completed my first blindfolded solve on Saturday, October 22 (2011) at approximately 4:00 am. I was tired but I decided that I wanted to actually attempt it, I've been trying to try solving it blindfolded once, but I've never had the time. It was my first time doing the 3x3 blindfolded and I successfully completed it. I, unfortunately did not time it (I was tired...it was 4:00am), but I am sure I took somewhere between 6 and 8 minutes. It took me about 4 to 5 minutes to memorize the cube and another 2 to 3 minutes to solve it. All times are approximate. I am hoping to do another blindfolded solve timed...soon...

O_O That's a really good time for a first solve! Congratulations!

I think with the low accuracy rate I have, it just comes down to dumb luck deciding where I get the solves I get. Not really any difference between a competition solve and an at-home solve. Also, I'm better at 5BLD than when I started, and now I'm *only* competing, not any at home, so when I do an attempt it's now more likely to be a success and it's probably in competition.

I expected high 50, but it was near sub50 !

O_O That's a really good time for a first solve! Congratulations!

Thanks...I am hoping to improve to somewhere between 2 to 4 minutes by about February...Anyone have any advice how to solve it blind faster?

Practice...
Possibly new memo method if you're doing something that you don't find very effective.

 

[Moops]

Just solved a 2x2 using OP!

Now I'm going to learn How to do the edges and fix parity for 3x3 =D

 

[lucarubik]

I find really easy to improve at anything if you really want to improve, I'm not a good speedcuber (12,8x official avg) but I'm good at BLD, and that's cause I enjoy it
You can try to learn BH, memo methods etc, I mean I know BH but I don't know anything else but OLL and PLL for speedcubing

4BLD average of 5
3:36.21, (3:18.00), (DNF(3:14.13)), 3:20.56, 3:23.83 = 3:26.87

Almost sub-WR. The next solve after this was 3:09.69 DNF by 3 wings.

Is this UWR for 4BLD average of 5?
