Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

[cmhardw]

One of my coworkers put me on the spot today and had me do a 3x3 BLD solve in front of a small group of students attending an open lab for extra math help. I didn't get any time to warm up, so I used a journey location I am very familiar with. I got the solve successfully, at 1:33 I've been focusing on speedsolving a lot lately, but it's good to know that I still got it for BLD too

--edit-- memo was just a touch over 1 minute, the guy timing me called out "one minute" right about when I started solving.

Nice. I have severe dnfobia when blindsolving in front of people.

First ever full attempt with M2, all the others were just practicing edges and Parity. It was a success in 3:24.xx. Hopefully it will get me sub-3 for Harvard

How many knows that 5x5BLD WR has been broken by almost 2 minutes?
Marcell apparently did it at Austrian Open.

This is what I know:

Back from the Austrian Open 2012. I managed to defend my win from 2011 with a very poor performance, and had immense fun with old and new friends. Especially Karaoke rocked And it was very inspiring to watch the great master Marcell Endrey at work, breaking the 5BLD world record by nearly 2 minutes. But now I need a break from being in a different city every weekend

From Facebook and Stefan Huber!

Congrats Marcell!!!!!

Ocool.

Hope this isn't some April Fool's joke, though I doubt it is.

 

[Pro94]

So yeah - 5x5 blindfolded 7:59 WR!
There's no video

3:20 memo.

 

[rubiksarlen]

No vid

 

[cmhardw]

Congratulations Marcell on your amazing 5x5x5 BLD WR! You are truly an inspiration, and an incredibly talented cuber! :tu

 

[Rubiks560]

1:24.67 BLD solve in a crazy noise Buffalo Wild Wings.

 

[Ickenicke]

Ocool.

Hope this isn't some April Fool's joke, though I doubt it is.

The record was broken 31st, so I don't think it is a joke

 

[megaminxwin]

I find it more impressive that the only non-DNF 5x5 BLD that he's done in competition is a world record. That's crazy. Well done, Marcell!

 

[Noahaha]

All three of my 7 cube attempts this week were perfect.

58:26.100[45:38.1 7/7]
54:12.002[41:20.380 7/7]
55:43.327[41:52.587 7/7]

Still not totally confident about Harvard Spring though.
