The blindfold race!

Offcourse
I suppose your final result will be DNF but this is a nice thread to document your progress.
I'm also doing this for 4BLD where I just do partial solves.

Ok thanks.

5. 2:18.54
6. 1:55.30
7. 3:04.79
8. 1:40.74 PB, but that was because it was easy. Execution was quite bad because I had to backtrack to fix a mistake.

18. 2:24.61
19. 1:57.68
20. 2:10.11

I wish I was this speed for the whole solve lol.

My accuracy has gotten worse since I started timing 4 or so days ago. That's weird.

Question: How fast do you guys think Classic Pochmann corners can be with tapping memo?

Comment: Wow, that was just so awful. I didn't know I could be that bad. 4 DNFs in a row, and all the times were terrible. Only one sub-1:30. The scrambles seemed really horrible to me, though.

Week 2012-04:

This week we'll do something different. Emphasis this week will be first on determination and accuracy, then consistency. We have more scrambles than usual this week. For each event, the winner will be the person with the most successful solves (non-DNFs). In the unlikely event of a tie, the winner will be the person with the best mean time averaging all the successful solves.

By request, I'm adding 2x2x2 BLD solves this week. Perhaps we'll keep them.

  • 2x2x2BLD 100 solves: most successful solves wins; ties resolved by best mean of successful solves.
  • 3x3x3BLD 50 solves: most successful solves wins; ties resolved by best mean of successful solves.
  • 4x4x4BLD 20 solves: most successful solves wins; ties resolved by best mean of successful solves.
  • 5x5x5BLD 10 solves: most successful solves wins; ties resolved by best mean of successful solves.

Do as much or as little as you like. This will end Monday night, January 30, 2012, at 11:59 PM EDT.

I thought my final result for round 3 was a DNF since I had 8/20 accuracy?
Click to expand...

The rules (for last week) are:
3x3BLD 20 solves: mean of five best. (do at least 5 solves)
Click to expand...

So as long as you have 5 successful solves, you can calculate the mean of your five best solves. I used qqtimer to get a mean of your five best results - hopefully I did it right.

Note that the rules for this week are different: as long as you get one solve correct, you're not a DNF. For this week I'll be listing accuracy "x out of y" followed by an average time. The value of "x" there will be the main sorting factor, the value of "y" won't matter, and the average time will be the tiebreak if two people have the same value for "x".

Wow, this is exhausting.... (do you really plan to do all of this yourself Mike??)

And I have not got the patience I thought, it is annoying to go so slow (as is actually needed).

So far:

2x2 number of times: 82/100 session mean: 35.82
best time: 19.96 new PB :)
worst time: 1:05.44
I started to go absolutely sure, but got times up to and over a minute.
If I should continue that I wouldn't :). So now I just solve as usual.

3x3 = 38/50
number of times: 38/50 (76%)
best time: 1:19.22
worst time: 3:09.56
session mean: 1:57.19
the last third or so I went just as usual, more fun :).

4x4 = number of times: 13/20 session mean: 8:06.56
best time: 6:46.16
worst time: 9:44.37

5x5 = 1/2
DNF (3E), 15:43.54
number of times: 1/2
best time: 15:43.54
worst time: 15:43.54


about a minute slower than usual (or a little more), mostly on memo (or analysis rather), but it is only exec that leads to error.

And thanks to qqwref for qqtimer, which lets me switch between sessions so convenient.

@Mike: wow, 8x8BLD. That must take 90 minutes or so, even for you :). And six different sets of obliques, no +-centers at all ;).
So far you cannot even tempt me, I haven't even seen one, less having one to try on.

Comment: Not bad, I guess. But I must admit that every DNF was so painful. When my first 40 or so were all successful, I was really holding out hope that I'd get them all.

3x3x3: 44 successful solves, mean of successful solves: 1:46.22
Accuracy: 44/50 = 88%
Best time: 1:02.63
Worst time: 5:23.90
1:44.05, DNF [1:36.19, 3E], 2:03.88, 1:29.91, 1:26.72, DNF [1:27.76, 3E], 1:16.13, 1:40.61, 1:49.40, DNF [1:50.27, 3E], 1:34.97, 1:29.75, 1:16.69, DNF [1:25.90, 2E], 1:51.68, 1:17.09, 1:33.63, 1:21.80, 1:39.61, 1:55.53, DNF [1:50.06, 3E], 1:26.40, 1:27.56, 1:35.15, 1:43.81, 1:58.83, 1:29.22, DNF [1:12.05, 3E], (1:02.63), 1:54.43, 1:30.68, 1:26.30, 1:26.10, 1:24.15, 1:20.05, 1:20.20, 2:02.80, 2:10.35, (5:23.90), 2:33.18, 1:53.99, 1:38.62, 1:52.16, 2:13.69, 2:28.89, 2:10.01, 1:35.99, 1:49.15, 1:44.56, 1:39.21
Comment: I did the first 30 yesterday, and the last 20 today. Weird how I was so fast but inaccurate yesterday, and slower but accurate today. In both cases, I was taking a little longer than usual on memo, but yesterday it seemed to actually make me faster to do that - my memory was so secure I could go at all-out speed. Today I couldn't seem to do that. In all fairness, I really went downhill when I got interrupted on the 5 minute solve with a phone call; I put the cube down and answered the phone, then picked it back up and finished it successfully, so I figured it should count. :)

4x4x4: 15 successful solves, mean of successful solves: 7:58.07
Accuracy: 15/17 = 88%
Best time: 6:22.36
Worst time: 10:03.37
7:03.29 [3:18], 8:20.84 [3:28], 9:09.62 [4:50], 9:13.04 [5:00], 7:29.60 [3:25], DNF [6:23.25, 3:15, 4C 8W], 8:19.82 [4:07], 6:26.40 [3:14], 10:03.37 [5:43], 6:22.36 [3:17], DNF [8:46.73, 5:27, 3X], 6:54.58 [3:28], 7:19.51 [3:49], 6:54.68 [3:48], 8:55.60 [5:10], 8:31.01 [4:54], 9:13.42 [4:56]
Comment: Too bad - I didn't quite have enough time to finish all of them. I was really amazed at the accuracy. The one solve that had all the bad pieces was actually just due to a missed L' turn. Interesting fact: If I had done the last three solves and gotten them all correct, my accuracy would only have increased from 88% to 90%.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to make the rest solves, so I just put what I've done. Times are bad, I just aimed not to make DNFs at all.. nevertheless, I got 5 of them :(

2x2 BLD
Accuracy: 94/100
Session mean: 25.40

27.31, 23.21, 30.07, 20.72, DNF(25.09), DNF(30.84), 27.50, 18.65, 20.59, 28.72, 25.24, 19.91, 25.20, 25.75, 29.58, 22.06, 21.24, 21.92, 27.59, 26.08, 25.44, 29.72, 22.46, 27.76, 20.28, DNF(27.74), 24.96, 19.21, 23.73, 31.63, 25.14, 25.43, 33.17, 28.43, 33.29, 18.67, 21.83, 34.81, 29.37, 21.87, 20.81, 19.10, 25.06, 17.00, 27.07, 20.25, 27.41, 33.52, 23.40, 29.42, 24.26, 22.74, 24.33, DNF(1:42.70), 20.00, 25.24, 17.74, 29.22, 28.98, 20.04, 34.00, 28.12, 20.94, 16.56, 34.48, 32.54, DNF(22.42), 23.84, 30.14, 26.21, 22.84, 23.19, 30.19, 28.71, 25.52, 21.38, 22.81, 26.75, 23.09, 25.21, 21.07, 29.46, 30.00, 20.65, 26.88, 23.99, 29.47, 20.72, DNF(30.42), 19.10, 23.15, 38.57, 25.46, 25.27, 28.68, 19.74, 18.03, 37.87, 23.67, 35.01

I hate my 2x2 :( It turns so bad, and I can't execute algorythms on it properly, sometimes I mess up in them. From these 6 DNFs only 3 of them are serious DNFs, in two I messed up an algorythm and in one I had an internal POP and failed to fix it blindfolded :) Well, my corners on 3x3 are better by about 3 seconds in spite of the fact that I don't have at least one corner solved in every solve :)
 
Just finished my 1st real 4 BLD memo...
Do I dare a solving attempt?
I'm already proud of myself for sticking the memo and identifying a corner parity + coming up with a fix for it all by myself
 
...
DNF, messed up somewhere between edge 14 and 18, centers solved
...

I will admit that I took a few peeks (specifcally not at buffer but solved pieces) to see if I was staying on track so that's why I know where I went wrong.
Not sure what went wrong as I was quite confident on the r2 part???
