The blindfold race!

[Xishem]

Round 3:

Was really tired when I started this, but I felt like doing it.

6:03.97, DNF(4:40.81), DNF(6:15.64), 5:47.79, DNF(5:35.94) = 5:47.79

#2 was only off by 2 flipped edges.

Exhausted...

 

[Jakube]

Round 3:

2:23.72, DNF, DNF, 3:05.09, DNF
Best time = 2:23.72

Good times, but lots of DNF. I quite like the pure visual memory method. I tried it in the train yesterday, and it worked at the first try.

Also, Ryan you have improved ridiculously quickly. Congrats!

Thanks! Doesn't feel that way though, If only my corner memo wasn't like 20 seconds...and my execution is so lolslow .

There is still much to be worked on.

Hopefully I can get a good single in BLD on Saturday at DC.

Round 4

49.03, 42.67, 1:07.59, DNF(1:07.44), DNF(1:06.15)

I doubt I can beat my 39 best single in this comp for a while >_>

Round 4

DNF(2:52.80), 1:52.43, DNF(1:41.92), DNF(2:42.21), DNF(2:06.39) = 1:52.43

Oh my god, only 1 finished. But this time is PB!

Round 4: 1:57.97, DNF, 2:18.19, DNF, 2:50.38 ==>1:57.97

 

[Keroma12]

Learning my word list so I won't be doing any solves for a week or 2.

2:53.94, DNF(gave-up), DNS, DNS, DNS

 

[Xishem]

Round 4:
DNF(1:29.66) This one was a really good memo for me, but it popped. Probably would have been a PB.
DNF(2:40.16) Off by two flipped corners
3:34.59
DNF(3:20.83)
2:49.46

= 2:49.46

I'm happy with this.

 

[Jakube]

I will continue this race. I think javirk isn´t interested any more.

Round 5

Best time: 1:34.59

Spoiler

Average: 1:55.67
Standard Deviation: 9.74
Best Time: 1:34.59
Worst Time: DNF
Individual Times:
1. 2:05.16 U F2 U' L2 F2 L2 F2 U' R2 U R2 B D2 B R2 D F L' B2 D F
2. 2:03.95 U R2 B2 R2 D' F2 D L2 B2 D2 L F' U L' R F R B L B
3. (1:34.59) B2 R2 D R2 B2 D R2 U' R2 B2 F' R B2 F D U2 B' L2 R' D2 U'
4. (DNF) B2 U2 B' D2 R2 B2 F' R2 B U2 F U R' B R' D L R' B' D2 B2 (did quarter turn instead of half turn during alg; knew it was wrong before I finished, but couldn't fix it)
5. 1:37.89 F2 L' B2 U2 R' D2 U2 B2 U2 B' D' U B' R F2 U' B D2 R

Somehow, even though this is my second-worst result, it feels better than the other ones, because I got a successful average and because of the two sub-1:40s. I guess my inner instincts just don't match the "best of" format; I'm not sure they ever will.

 

[RyanReese09]

I have a 2:01.85 in this race. My time shouldn't have been green.
