The blindfold race!

week 48 :

3x3 BLD (12/19) : 1:21.54, 1:39.26, DNF(2:12.70), 1:35.09, DNF(1:33.65), 1:22.44, 1:25.27, 1:13.88, 1:41.61, 1:26.18, 1:38.99, DNF(1:38.43), 1:19.39, DNF(1:56.30), DNF(1:45.66), DNF(1:33.19), 1:49.20, 1:35.50, DNF(1:35.26)

I noticed a 1:24.63 avg5 which is my PB

accuracy is bad, too much DNFs...

3x3x3 BLD: 1:33.84
Accuracy: 17/20
Best single: 1:23.78
DNF [1:21.26, 4C 6E], 1:23.78, DNF [2:07.79, 4C 3E], 1:55.10, DNF [1:24.94, 4E], 2:09.44, 1:52.54, 1:53.49, 1:51.14, 1:40.74, 1:38.50, 1:37.42, 1:54.54, 1:41.88, 1:37.63, 1:34.39, 1:49.12, 2:06.62, 1:44.42, 1:50.86

Comment: Decent accuracy, but absolutely terrible times. I think I got so worried at the beginning after missing 3 of the first 5 that I slowed down too much as a result. Also, I guess I'm out of practice.

3x3BLD = 1:28.83 14/20 ok
1:33.01, 1:21.32, DNF, DNF, DNF, 2:15.95, 2:11.96, DNF, 2:18.12, DNF, 2:28.42, 1:42.65, 1:32.40, 1:33.10, 1:24.32, DNF, 1:54.71, 1:36.73, 2:00.37, 2:13.96, 1:59.73

4x4BLD = 6:56.46
DNF (6:17), 6:53.38, DNF (6:17), 6:59.54, DNF (7:13), DNF (6:47), DNF (6:14), DNF (6:01)
Trying to go as fast as Simon :) :) (very good solves youv'e got there Simon :)).
The last ones I tried to skip review of memo and started to solve after 2:50. Funny
it does not seem to matter, what I earn in memo I lose in recall :). Still good with
almost all solves sub-7. No DNF was more off than four centers.
Edit: the 7:th was much worse :( and the 8:th two centers and a memo of 2:20

5x5BLD = 14:53.88
DNF (14:37), 18:42.09 (11:50), 14:53.88 (8:23), DNS
1) again so close, 3 X off, did last x-comm backwards, 2) very slow memo

Week 49:

  • 3x3BLD 20 solves: mean of five best. (do at least 5 solves)
  • 4x4BLD 8 solves: mean of two best. (at least 2)
  • 5x5BLD 4 solves: best solve. (well, one then)

Do as much or as little as you like. This will end Sunday night, December 11, 2011, at 11:59 PM EDT.

Excellent stuff Simon, you're getting really good at big cubes BLD.

Thanks Zane! :D I've started using letterpairs for memo since Worlds, and it has improved my times a lot! :D


3x3 BLD: 1:04.43, 1:02.56, 1:08.30, DNF(1:36.90), 52.08, DNF(1:28.94), DNF(1:02.94), DNF(1:07.33), 1:06.80, DNF(1:00.71), DNF(1:14.61), DNF(1:12.59), 1:00.44, 58.69, 53.52, DNF(1:00.36), 54.77, DNF(1:16.93), 1:06.56, 53.98 = 54.61

4x4 BLD: 5:44.64, 5:52.32, 5:30.13, DNF(6:44), DNF(5:51), DNS, DNS, DNS = 5:37.39

Wow, congratulations :)!! (there went the UNR)

3x3BLD = 1:25.95 11/20
1:42.10, DNF, DNF, DNF, 1:20.21, 1:49.19, 1:40.81, 1:25.48, DNF, 1:24.42, 2:10.97, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, 1:28.06, 1:31.60, 1:41.87, 3:05.52, DNF,

4x4BLD = 6:14.29 4/6
7:08.25 (2:54), 8:44.90 (3:47), 6:27.60 (3:22), DNF (7:04), DNF (7:05), 6:00.97 (2:50)
the second done with a stiff ES (not at home and not having my regular cubes)
An estimate is that I lost almost two minutes just in solving/turning.
nr 4: uuch, had to undo two full comms because I took the wrong center buffer.
Lost track somewhere.
the third was a +2 because I forgot to undo setup for edge parity.

5x5BLD = DNF
DNF (14:33), DNF (15:53, 3+c), DNF (13:54), DNF (13:51) Aaargh

Comment: Still not very good times for me, but at least it was much better than last week. My usual 85% accuracy. I was surprised how consistent the times were - they hovered very close to 1:30, for the most part.

4x4x4: Accuracy: 4/5
3:15.38 [1:15], 3:48.29 [1:15], DNF (3:34.21 [1:24]), 3:21.40 [1:12], 3:45.22 [1:31]
How come I can do 5 good solves in a row here, but in comp only my first solve is ever any good :(
I only have one route for 4bld so I'm kinda surprised I can do consecutive solves
 
Week 49

3x3BLD: 11:57, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF, DNF



I did the first three solves right after the scrambles were posted, but my laptop crashed and I lost the times before I could enter them... that's why the first solve does not have milliseconds.

That's okay - the milliseconds aren't supposed to count over 10 minutes anyway, so this is perfectly legitimate. (I'm just silly and include them even though they don't count.) If you don't mind, I'll go ahead and include you in the results this week - maybe that will be impetus for you to try them all so maybe you can succeed at getting an average!
 
This is the first time I participate here :) only 3x3 now.. This is not very good, bad unconsistent times, terrible accuracy, only 12/20.

3x3x3 BLD: 1:29.85
1:57.27, 2:07.13, 1:35.05, DNF(2:18.18), 1:38.53, DNF(2:46.58), DNF(1:16.07), 1:31.23, 2:11.91, DNF(2:04.68), 1:46.35, DNF(2:17.17), 1:33.02, DNF(1:37.37), 1:20.92+, 1:33.66, 1:30.43, DNF(1:40.23), DNF(3:04.22), 4:16.12

I haven't really had a chance to do anymore due to the Ohio Open. When the next round is posted I will try to finish enough to get an average. On a side note... BLD in Ohio did not go well at all. 0/3 BLD and 0/2 MBLD :( The good news as far as BLD goes, is that I got a new PB a few days ago... 6:17.
 
For now

3x3x3 BLD = 39.14
Accuracy = 19/20
44.31, 37.81, 40.73, 39.66, 41.08, 40.57, 41.52, 42.77, 53.30, 42.47, 55.81, 48.71, 36.82, 58.36, 42.44, 40.70, DNF(39.51), 50.69, 43.34, 47.93
Damn :D DNF is by 2 edges - wrong memo. Great accuracy and PB in avg of 12 :D

4x4x4 BLD = 4:37.83
DNF (6:19.68) , DNF (5:07.10) , 3:57.00, 5:18.66 , DNF(5:05.38) , DNF(5:13.19), 5:30.88 , DNF (4:23.91)
3:57 is my PB :)

5x5x5 BLD = 14:35.99
DNF(16:58) , 14:35.99 , DNF (12:54.46) , DNF

In 14:35 I had to do a pause, because some man came to check water in my house XD
