Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

New PB avg of 5 and avg of 12 both:

Avg of 5: (47.24), (DNF), 57.04, 47.87, 48.96 = 51.29
Avg of 12: 53.38, 1:07.42, 50.31, 1:03.49, (47.24), (DNF), 57.04, 47.87, 48.96, 1.01.62, 1:02.52, 53.25 = 56.59

I hope I can get some good results at Munich open this weekend...

Edit: As session continued, I improved pb avg of 12 to 56.10, because 52.52 and 1:03.44 replaced the first 2 times.
Edit2: I made new pb avg of 5: 54.09, 46.66, 52.93, (DNF), (46.50) = 51.23

Damn! I thought my only rival will be François. How can you be so fast, you were >2 min at Chech Open.
Very impressive progress! :tu

Thanks, I changed my method from 30P to BH and it helped a lot. And I practised a lot, of course. But what is this in comparison to your MultiBLD progress.:) You rather try making WR soon, till Maskow does something like 32/32 in comp and it gets way harder.:p

I practice a lot, but my accuracy is not the best and I suck in comp. We will see what I can manage Saturday.
 
Just tried interacting 3 and 4 images/ location during a 5bld solve. Recall was so much better and memo was faster than when I use two. I'm really surprised that it has made such a big difference. It's also nice that my loci routes take longer to fill up now that I use less loci per solve. The solve was ~18 minutes. I didn't time it but look at the clock. I'm very pleased.

Good luck in Munich to all! especially you, Jakob :tu

Its my PB. I had 1-2 lock-ups during the solve, I think it could have been even faster. Memo was like 12/13.

First sub 5:00 :D Easy scramble, so memo was about 2:30, while it usually takes me 4-6 minutes.
Soon time to learn M2 edges instead of full Old Pochman. :)

So much WTF. I have never been so clear-headed during a session. Execution was fastest it has ever been.

MBLD: 29/32, 58:41.66 [memo ~33]

Lately I do something like one attempt per week so it's good to see that I still can do it.
2x DNF because of 2x twisted corners
1x DNF because of 2x twisted edges
Same score at next Friday pl0x
 
First 3x3 BLD success in 12:04.31

Scramble was: R2 L' D B F2 R B' R U2 R' U' F U B2 F' L R2 F U' B F U F2 B' R

One edge solved and one corner solved. Only had to break into one new cycle for edges and one new cycle for corners. Memo was about 9 minutes and execution around 3 minutes. Now I just need to get the memo down under 7 minutes so I can meet the 10 minute cut off before next Saturday. I've had to review my memo 3-4 times before I feel comfortable that I have it down. Only reviewing twice should get me there if only I can remember.

Awesome stuff. I am looking forward to see some of these tomorow at Havard.

28 solves without a DNF (very safe memorization and slow turning). And one of them is a 27, WHAT?!

current avg5: 52.81 (σ = 4.86)

47.67, 46.20, 42.17, 54.28, 1:08.99, 48.37, 55.17, 38.75, 49.56, 53.47, 38.94, 53.13, 48.04, 52.92, 1:02.17, 58.20, 1:00.67, 43.37, 49.43, 27.91, 40.78, 39.37, 42.07, 43.84, 54.04, 47.45, 1:00.62, 56.94
Scramble of the 27.91: D R2 U2 B2 R2 F2 D R2 B2 R2 F' D L R2 F2 D' R2 F L U2
 
Wow, I best Maskow could do that quite easily...

Aye - already seen him complete the single deck of cards in <2m and 100 numbers in 1:41?

Anyway:

5BLD 9:04[3:54] F2 B D' Fw Rw2 R' Dw2 D2 Lw' Dw' Lw Rw Dw2 Rw' Dw B2 Dw R D' F2 R B2 Lw2 R2 Dw2 R2 B Lw' F U' Uw2 Dw' D' Fw Bw2 Dw' L2 R2 Fw' B' Uw' Bw2 Dw' Fw' Bw' B' D' F U2 Bw Uw' L' D2 Bw R' F2 Lw' Rw2 F D2

I have it on video but I need a card reader before I can upload it. This scramble was ridiculously easy (9 +-centers and 8 x-centers solved) and my last few close DNFs were at the ~9:30 mark so I'm shocked about the time, but I'm also ridiculously happy.
