*Post your 3x3x3 BLD solve*

[cmhardw]

Hi everyone,

Inspired by this thread I have a fun type of challenge to try.

Do a 3x3x3 BLD solve right now. Don't warm up, don't practice. Just grab your cube, your blindfold, and do the following solve.

Scramble with white on top, green on front.
B2 R B2 D L B' D' R' B2 L R2 B D2 U' B2 D2 B R' D' U' R L' B2 U R2

Have fun!
-------------------------

To start things off, I got 1:52.31 with no warmup, no practice. I just got the idea for this thread, pulled up the above scramble and did the solve.

I got 4:20.19. It's an okay solve, but I'm tired so I didn't do as well as I could have. Easy memorization on the edges though, interesting story, it went: Aragorn descends Isildur, Jared hates Denethor, Everyone fights Gimli, Kenny loves everyone. Kind of easy for me

2:49.37 DNF by 5 edges

horrible

I should really consider practicing sometime...

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

DNF.... it's been a long time.

 

[ardi4nto]

DNF.. (message too short )

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

59.52, though I don't really see the point. I thought this topic would be about posting your solution.

 

[peterbat]

2:40 DNF by 4 edges (missed a piece in my memo)...

Oh well.

2:35.43 wohh its been soooo long since ive done a BLD solve (or really, any solving) XD im very very rusty

5:54.71 - Really slow. I haven't even attempted a single solve since SDO two months ago. I surprised it was even successful since there was someone in my room laughing and reading stuff to me. There were about 3 or 4 times during execution where I skipped an edge or corner and had to go back, so it was really messy.

DNF.... it's been a long time.

+1

:fp@me

 

[Lucas Garron]

1:31.38, but it felt like 2:00. I really need to practice.

My solve.

 

[Rosson91]

1:38.53 I must get better at solving the edges...

Ugh, you had to catch me at 5:00 in the morning after I just got up; I wasn't even really awake yet. Anyway, it was a fairly comfortable easy scramble, so I'm not happy with this time. A scramble like this definitely should have been sub-2 for me.

 

[cookingfat]

Only just woke up. 5:11.58 DNF via an execution mistake. I really need to learn those M slice algorithms properly.

 

[Mossar]

Maybe my 5th completed BLD solve and 10th BLD try. I've had 3 sub4 DNFs so this time is not good for me.
4:43.71 - hard edges for me (DILU FJ PYZR NP - yes, i know i have to change this method ;D) and normal corners - 6 numbers to rembember and 2 last stickers visually.

 

[aegius1r]

1:00.31 but DNF...uh.
left 3 edges need to be cycled
Haven't been practice for a while...

 

[Anton Rostovikov]

3:20.16 - pretty good for not practicing

Hey Tim,

Sorry for any confusion on the point of this thread. Next time I do something like this I'll title the thread "Surprise Challenge" or something like that.

The point is to catch as many people as possible off guard, so that everyone doing the solve does it cold without any warmup. For the forum competitions we are allowed time to practice to prepare, plus time to warmup on the day of to get ready. I wanted to do a different challenge where I try to catch everybody, or at least as many people as possible, "cold" in their solving.

I didn't intend for people to post their solutions, but if anyone does that's just more information available for people to get ideas on how others BLD solve.

This thread (and others to follow) ;-) are just meant to be fun challenges, nothing serious.

I am in no way good at bld.. but mine was 10+ (stackmat timer went off) DNF by two flipped edges.. just woke up.. kind of fell asleep during corner memo.

My memo was like (with red on front white on top)
edges: AOJL NTRW KCED
corners: GGRBRYGG (i think)
