The blindfold race!

Three of the DNF:s were only one cycle off (two were exec errors and
one faulty analysis).

5x5 = 19:11.90
DNF, DNF, 19:11.90 (10.54), DNF
just had to safe one after lots of DNF:s

Tried the first 10 scrambles consecutively, will do the rest tomorrow...

DNF(1:55.22), DNF(2:22.00), DNF(2:25.00), 1:42.25, DNF(1:29.39)[CO and EO off by 2 each], DNF(1:10.00)[gave up], DNF(1:42.56), DNF(1:48.42), DNF(1:40.30)[mixed up last four edges and corners...], DNF(1:55.40)

The 2:25 was an exec mistake, and the 1:40.30 was really annoying, I tried to undo the mistakes I'd made but then just gave up, could probably have been a lot faster. The 1:29 was really easy for me for some reason, so annoyed I dnf'ed :( The other DNFs were all flipped pieces DNFs...

At least my only success is by far a PB!

Man, I am so out-of-practice :P Ah well, I could feel my memory strength increasing after almost every solve. I might do some of the 4x4 scrambles later if I feel up to it.

I am going to start posting some times here as a way to motivate me to practice blind. My times are so slow, and my accuracy is so low, that I'm not really submitting anything... just posting.

Details
1) DNF - 10:45.25 | Scrambled cube... in wrong orientation
2) DNF - 9:18.88 | Off by 1/4 M slice + 3 edge cycle. I think I executed a "special" M slice alg incorrectly, and may have screwed up an undo setup.
3) SUCCESS!
4) DNF - 12:16.95 | 3 cycle of edges and 3 cycle of corners
5) DNF - 7:12.88 | Two corners twisted
6) DNF - 7:53.24 | Off by six edges
7) DNF - 7:35.36 | Two corners twisted
8) DNF - 9:03.33 | Not even close
9) DNF - 10:28.23 | Was on the last edge and realized I had screwed up. Had to undue eight edges to fix the problem. Was off by 5 edges and an M2.
