First Successful Solve Time

[CraigBouchard]

What was the time of your very first successful solve, and how many attempts did it take?

Mine, my very first solve, if I hadn't asked someone "Is this red?" then it would have been successful in like 27 minutes.

About 5 attempts later, and all close DNFs, i got a 6:29.xx

My first successful solve was about an hour and a half I think. I'm almost certain I got it on my first try (though I had practiced doing just edges, or just corners before that). My first real full attempt was a success I think.

I had my first successful solve just a couple days ago. It took around 25minutes to memorize, then under 5 minutes to solve...

 

[Kirjava]

was about 20 mins, I think. successful first time.

 

[tsaoenator]

12:53.87 I think

I think it was about 14 minutes. I got it my 6th try. You can read about my very first attempt (94 minutes!) here:

After what was probably 50+ attempts I got my first successful solve.

26:xx.xx

My method then was to memorize all setup moves, all algs, etc. ahead of time. Things are much less painful now

My first was 32 minutes. In the past I had attempted edges only twice, but failed both times. Then I went for it all and got it. Next 5 or so attempts all DNFed.

First Time Success

I actually learned how to do the 2x2x2 Blindfolded and then applied the same concept to 3x3x3. I use the 3 Cycle method. My best time so far is 7 min 29 sec. I will do a sub 5 by maybe January

rahulkadukar, there is an active thread for posts like yours here. There was no need to resurrect a thread that has been dead for two and a half years.

THEmazing necroposting.

 

[KConny]

You aren't allowed to resurrect old threads nor create a new thread on the same topic?

 

[aegius1r]

6:21:36, after a lot of practices and they all DNFed

it took me a long time to get my first successful solve
maybe 1 or 2 months? I don't remember...

These posts belong in the Blindfold Accomplishment Thread, linked above. No need to keep threads like this alive.

You aren't allowed to resurrect old threads nor create a new thread on the same topic?

you can resurrect old threads if you have something to add, but not for things like "me too" or "I had *"
in other words, you can resurrect old threads if you would otherwise create a new thread for it

 

[mati rubik]

like 8 or 9 min, after a lot of DNF, and I practice only edges, only corners, only perm, only etc, and my memo time is like 5 or 6 min

 

[Jacco]

like 24 minutes lol =)

Sorry to disagree, but it occurs to me that this would be a very useful thread to keep active. I think it is nice having a single thread where you can read everyone's first successful BLD solve time, and I find it odd that others don't agree.

So for the record, my first successful 3x3x3 BLD solve was about 45 minutes.
My first successful 4x4x4 BLD solve was 63:42.73.
My first successful 5x5x5 BLD solve was 74:43.00.
My first successful 6x6x6 BLD solve was 66:50.96.
My first successful 7x7x7 BLD solve was 117:04.84.
My first successful megaminx BLD solve was 78:00.87.

There, now I have them all in one place in case I ever wonder again.

My first successful BLD solve ever was on 2^3, the time was about 1 minute 30.
My first successful 3^3 BLD solve was 9:33. After lors of DNFs

My first successful 3x3x3 BLD solve was 45 minutes (first or second attempt).
My first successful 4x4x4 BLD solve was 30 minutes(?) (3rd attempt and within a 2x2 + 3 3x3 + 4x4 relay).
My first successful 5x5x5 BLD solve was 25 minutes (6th attempt?).

It's funny, that my times decrease while the cube size increases.
