Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

I beat Polish national record in 5x5 bld in time 13:20 and that was my first success in 5x5 bld at competition. :D

The other two tries was 12:51 and DNF by 3 edges and 10:40 also DNF by 3 wings :( Next time will be better !
 
First decent time with my 3-style method :) Neglected it for a long time to focus on 5BLD, so lots of DNFs and a lot of thinking time. 3-cycles corners still take up most of the thinking time.

1:25.78 D' R2 D2 L2 D' L2 U R2 B2 F' L F D2 U' R U2 L2 U2

Didn't see memo time, about 30s.
 
Finally understand r2 edges on 4x4! All I had to do was change my lettering scheme to match my 3BLD M2 spots. I was using Daniel Sheppard's lettering scheme at first, and I never could get used to which set ups matched which letter, etc. But now I just use the one I use for 3BLD, and it's SO much easier. I will finally try an attempt very, very soon.

Good choice. I picked my lettering scheme by following my 3x3 one. Good luck!

EDIT: Just realised that is not true. I picked my 3x3 letters by following my 4x4 - I didn't use letters on 3x3 until after I'd done 4x4.

Thanks! Just tried an attempt, it was way off. However, it was a hand scramble, untimed, 94° F, noisy, done with a cube similar to a Rubik's brand and also done behind my back so I wouldn't accidentally open my eyes. I think I memorized correctly, just rushed execution too fast.

I will be receiving a new shengshou 4x4 tomorrow and I will try again. Hopefully I will succeed soon.
 
Dmitry Karyakin 5BLD 10:39. Official solve, done at MNW Open 2012. National record, 4th in the world.

That was my 3rd attempt. 1st was 11:3x, 2nd - DNF (rush mode).

Memorization time about 5:10, I use 3-cycles with some setups for centers, r2/comms for wings, BH for corners and M2 for midges.

There is only last minute of solve on the video, I hope it will be uploaded soon.
