The blindfold race!

[Xishem]

Similarly, my time wasn't even recorded from the last round. This round it /should/ be green.

Round 5

55.63, DNF(1:08.00), 49.35, 54.36, DNF(1:06.90) = 49.35

Haven't practised at all for 2 weeks so kinda blur =P

Round 5:
DNF(pop), DNF(distraction),1:08.97, 1:05.63, 57.64

Best time = 57.64

 

[Xishem]

4:35.08, DNF(5:09.26) [2 Flipped Edges], 3:57.09, DNF(9:31.95) [4 Edges Off. Horrible Recall delay.], DNF(4:27.93)[Just quit midsolve. Recall was too bad.]

= 3:57.09

I did these way too late at night. Recalls were horrible because I did a really bad job of visualizing the images, I simply came up with images for the letters and moved on to the next targets. In the 9:31, it took me 5+ minutes to remember one image. This was painful to get through.

 

[Jakube]

2:41.25, DNF, DNF, DNF, 1:56.61 = 1:56.61

I should do more 3x3x3 BLD. Not only for online competitions.

Round 5: DNF DNF DNF 1:27.59 DNF

Lots of stupid mistakes, but the straw that broke the camel's back was that I had two solves where I completely forgot to solve permuted but disoriented corners. I memo them visually, and this has now come to an end. Because of these two solves (and many others before them) I finally created an image system I can use to memo any 2 or any 3 corners (with or without the buffer) that are permuted but disoriented. I'll still have to do 4 or more corners visually, but I don't think these types of cases happen too terribly often (I'm not inclined to calculate the exact probability at the moment, but I may later).

5) Jakube-> 1:56.61
6) Xishem-> 3:57.09

People whose times are in red means, that they have a worse time than first round, people in green means the time is best.

Bad round, but still the same order as last week.

Round 6
Best time: 1:21.57

Spoiler

1:22.69 1:51.53 (1:21.57) 1:29.05 (2:11.18) = 1:34.42

My new method for memorizing pbd corners is SO much better than my old method

 

[Faz]

1:06.86, 55.42, DNF(1:02.22), 1:03.61, DNF(52.04) = 55.42

 

[amostay2004]

lololololol I should be angry at this but it's too cute

DNF(51.70), DNF(50.45), DNF(41.06), DNF(1:01.32), DNF(18.67)

1st was me missing a move, 2nd and 3rd was me rushing an edge cycle and cycled the wrong way. The last one was me actually solving the cube but I pressed the spacebar after memo (habit from 4bld)

 

[Zane_C]

Zomg 18 DNF.

5. 1:48.38 R U2 R' D2 F2 R B2 D2 R D2 F' U2 L2 D B U' B' L2 F2 L F'

Wow, I had so much trouble with the memo at first - it felt like I just couldn't do it. But I pushed through and at least got all the solves successfully; by the end I felt like I could do it again. Funny how some days are like that for me. The third solve was easy enough that I still got a decent result despite my bad performance.

I want to do a come back to BLD. Because it is fun.

Great - it's good to see you back, Micael! (I think your multi race thread is a great idea, but I'm not sure I have the time to do that on top of the weekly competitions (though I might enter occasionally when I do have time). But good luck with it!)

Kinda blur somehow. Second one should've been much better

Woah, nice improvement Pappas
