Freestyle.

Average of 12: 28.33 = 29.26, 27.17, 28.60, 27.67, (22.68), 27.12, 24.89, 31.11, 30.00, (DNF), 26.34, 31.13

Standard deviation: 1.96 (6.9%)

wat

(Even if that's execution only...) wat

I'm really hoping he's still just referring to corners only (memo inc)... O_O

Oh, yeah, I see it up above now. Sorry.

blah, it might be slower with freestyle, but the whole idea behind BH (and good freestyle) is to not have to think, and you're probably having to think right now. A few hundred (for you; thousand for me) solves and you'll no longer need to think, and you'll probably beat your 3OP times.

 

[blah]

I'm pretty sure M2 is the one that's slowing me down.

Now, if I actually took the time to learn 5OP... :rolleyes:

 

[ThatGuy]

5.31.xx 3x3. I apparently did a parity that didn't exist??? But I was sure that there was parity. qq.

 

[blah]

7BLD DNF.

 

[MichaelP.]

7th DNF attempt at M2. I'm usually of by 2 flipped edges or DF and UB swapped. I'm frustrated.

 

[Mike Hughey]

7BLD DNF.

Cool - you tried it! Any details?

 

[blah]

DNF again.

 

[iRiLLL]

DNF again.

god like

4BLD: 5:28.97 DNF

Off by 2 (2! Argh!) centers.

Memo was 2:11.

What was so awesome that made this so awesomely amazing? My F/B centers were completely solved. I think in total about 14 centers were solved.

Can I get a success like this in comp, please?

Wow, I'm so bad. I got a 6:44.70, 3:25 memo. Having multiple cycles in the wings kills me.

Aron, you certainly have gotten amazing quickly at BLD.

Oh, and Chester, I'm looking forward to hearing about your successful solve today.

 

[blah]

Your execution is waaaaay faster than mine :/ My memo is 20 to 25 but the whole attempt takes about an hour

That's just practice, and it improves very quickly. You'll be as fast as me with a few more attempts (if you bother to do that many). The key is not to care too much about it. If you're worried about getting it right, you go too slow.

 

[blah]

44 DNF.

wat

 

[aronpm]

Yes, yes, I know I post in this thread too much. My next blindfolded-related post will be in the Blindfolded Accomplishment Thread, I swear.

Anyway, weekly comp #30 multi:

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 3/7 = -1 in 20:44.69
Comment: 1 cube had 2 twisted corners; I twisted the corner. 2 cubes had 2 flipped edges; I don't know what happened. Another cube had a 3cycle of edges, which I forgot to solve after fixing parity. At least it was fast. Memo was 12:22.

I think I can get a sub-20 (success) soon.

 

[Mike Hughey]

44 DNF.

See? I told you. You tried not caring too much about it, didn't you? It works really well. (Except for the DNF part, I guess.)

I assume your first success will mean I'm back to chasing the UWR again.

4BLD DNF(10:39.03)
4 edges and 4 centers off.

at Düsseldorf Open this weekend:

5x5 BLD:
14:24 ... 3 wings off
13:50 ... 2 x-centers off

3x3 BLD
1:01 ... 3 corners off

 

[Tim Major]

7:42.00 3bld DNF by 2 edges two corners (corners that get switched while doing edges with OP, and BU and DB edges swapped)
Not sure how, I guess I must've memoed wrong.
Really slow compared to usual, but that's what happens when I don't do any bld for ages, I have to go through each sticker to find what letter it is >_>
