Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

blah, I tried out that scramble and DNF'ed, unfortunately (mixed up images in two locations). It would have been a fairly fast solve if I hadn't messed up, but not sub-9. (As it was, it was 10:09, and I had a bunch of pieces wrong.)

I certainly would not consider it lucky.

Congrats Mike! You're doing a lot better than I am on 5x5 blind. It is so frustrating!!!! I memorize so carefully and somehow I still make mistakes and I'm way off! But for the first scramble on the weekly contest, I got a 20:36 DNF, which isn't a bad time, I guess.

You may be getting a lot of DNFs, but your times are amazing. If you had gotten that one right, it would have been better than my best ever time prior to last night.

And I thought the first scramble was rather difficult, while the second one was pretty easy. (My time on the first scramble was a truly awful 27:50.) I hate to think what your time is going to be like on the second one. If you don't DNF, you'll probably beat me on it.

I DNF'ed it. But it was 18:03! Kind of happy and sad at the same time.

Woooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

18:17 5x5 blindfolded!!!!!!!!! Non lucky, my third successful solve. Memo around 8:30.

I think 5x5 blind is now my favorite event. It's the most challenging, fun, and I'm not bad at it either.

Wow, Alex! Amazing. It took me about 100 successful solves to get sub-20, and you did it on your third one.

16:33 5x5 blind! 1 x center, 7 + centers, 3 wings, 0 centrals, 1 corner permuted and 5 misoriented corners. Memo was around 8:20-8:30. If anyone wants the scramble, I have it. It's really easy.

2:02.50!
New PB.
Non lucky...ish, 2 edges were solved, and 2 corners were solved, edge memo was easy, corners were a nice pattern, no parity or oriented edges.

Okay, Alex - that's just outrageous. Now Chris actually has some competition at Nationals. Congratulations!

Thank you! I'm amazed at how I've shaved almost 10 minutes off my time in 4 successes! I doubt I could beat Chris though.

Multibld: 13/14 in 1:19:21 for the weekly contest. If I hadn't popped on the 9th cube it would have been correct.

I use M2 so parity is when you move the centers an odd amout of times.
And i meant UNorineted edges.

Wow! All edges oriented is super lucky, you should've done 3-cycle, which is more move-efficient then M2 if you've got all edges oriented, I think. And actually I never do M2 an odd number of times, if there's one more M2 to do I'd just leave it there and do the parity swap with a PLL algorithm (with setup moves of course).

Chris has only beaten that time once in competition. And that was with the current world record solve. He may have gotten better since then, though...

Multibld: 13/14 in 1:19:21 for the weekly contest. If I hadn't popped on the 9th cube it would have been correct.

Ugh, you beat me again. And you're so fast! I got 12/15 this week - I went downhill from last week. It's going to be interesting at Nationals!

I have a feeling there will be a lot of big multi attempts at the nationals.

It seems like you're posting something here every few hours. Ridiculous. I think you're going to be ready this weekend.

Good job! I'm jealous!

 

[Dene]

Oh man, Mr. Alex (I don't know your last name!) is crazy. I agree with Mr. Hughey, I'm drenched with jealousy . I'll 4x4x4 BLD one day >.<

 

[blah]

Oh man, Mr. Alex (I don't know your last name!)

It's Cook.

And you've pushed me down to third place in CubeMania Now I've got a smaller font size for my name

At the rate you're improving, Alex, you'd take both Chris' WRs by the end of the month (no offense to Chris)
