Hey, I think it's pretty cool. Congratulations - you beat me to it.
Good job getting your first one right!

Well it was was your idea initially, so you deserve much credit! It's only a 3x3x3, so I would expect to get it right most of the time. It's not really an FMC anymore...more like a normal BLD with the added challenge of not seeing the cube scrambled.

4x4x4BLD: 11:22
11:22, DNF(10:24), DNF
First solve was weird and I was suprised to make it. Second solve got DNF because I forgot to undo a setup move. I was interrupted during the third solve and never got back on track, so I stopped midsolve.
5x5x5BLD: 16:31
16:31, DNF(18:51), 20:10
Comment: first one was a nice scramble with no need to reorient. Second one was off by a 3-cycle of middle edges. They were cycled the wrong way, which happens a lot for me when doing A9's. I need more practise on that. To bad because I found a nice orientation with 12 centers and 5 wing edges solved.
Third one took so long because I memoed the wingedges wrong and realized it late.

Nice times Lars! You can beat Mike & Chris with that time (at least sometimes).
But as there were so many centres solved they probably will have good times too.
And yes, the first was the scramble with most correct centres I have ever had. But I ended
up with two edges flipped
And the second with two centres swapped. And the third two edges swapped. 6 pieces in total that were faulty, 3 DNF:s. Frustrating.
(I am nowhere near your times though).

2x2: 9.63 15.05 11.95 17.63 15.98 = 14.33 good

Haha, I really liked the idea, so I tried it myself! But since I proboably didn't read the "rules" very careful, I didn't do all the memorizing and blindfolding, but instead only did not scramble the cube, bur only looked at the scramble, and writing down on a paper what the cycles was.
Than I wrote down the solution for the cycles, while looking at what I had written down.
I was using BH for corners, changing buffer between the cycles. For edges I was using commutators, UF as a buffer. Normally I use M2, but since commutators would be more efficient.
Unfortunately I had 1 wrong in my writing, writing L' instead of L, everything else was correct.
The solution was edges+corners= 54+28 =82 htm. I could probably have saved one or two moves in edges, but nothing on corners (with this method).
Another good thing about this being possible, is that speedblind actually MAY be possible!

Thanks, on the other hand I am amazed at how fast you guys (and girls) can solve
the cube while looking

Amazing
4x4x4: (1:00.17), 1:12.10, 1:15.74, 1:10.14, (1:25.21) = 1:12.66
Really good considering they were first solves of the day. 5 parities.
5x5x5: 2:24.29, 2:28.77, (2:14.64), 2:23.57, (2:31.74) = 2:25.54

6x6x6: 5:22.71, (5:14.47), (5:56.20), 5:43.75, 5:22.21 = 5:29.56
This average is better than my single solve pb was before

Fastest memo by a minute. Missed a letter during execution but managed to undo it and carry on.
5x5x5BLD: 30:03.10 [15:39.12], DNS, DNS = 30:03.10
3rd attempt at 5x5x5BLD. Improved by 12 mins this time.
