Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

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.

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 :D 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 :P
From Facebook and Stefan Huber!

Congrats Marcell!!!!!
 
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!
 
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.
