Not lucky in any way, I just went full speed.

913 minutes 2 secondsHenrik Buus AagaardWow I just beat my record by 3 min. I memorized in 7 min high.
I use fixed buffer target for centers. r2 for edges and Pochmann corners (with two extra algs.)
I feel like I can do faster. Execution can get faster and memo can always get faster and trained.

1113 minutes 35 secondsLucas GarronOn film; I've had a lot of faster, really close DNF's (including one kinda-close [2 wrong setups] sub-10).
Pure visual memo, r2 for edges, commutators for centers.

1314 minutes 59.74 secondsJason BaumI've had a lot of DNFs in the mid to low 20s recently, then out of nowhere I got a sub 15! I memorized in about 6:30, which is ridiculous because I've never even had sub 10 memo before. I still have a lot of room for improvement though!20080124

1718 minutes 59.99 secondsShaden SmithHad a timer issue (spacebar turned off my screensaver, not timer) and due to this I'm just calling it 18:59.59. It took me several seconds to notice it, so I'm only giving my self to be sub-19. The timer showed 19:01.10.
My first successful solve!

1819 minutesDennis StrehlauI DID IT!!
wow, before i took off the blindfold, i was like: okay, this wont be solve, like the ones before, lets see how many mistakes i did:P
But then, BAAAAAAAAM!
i couldnt believe it, cause the other times before, i was also absolutely sure that i did it correct, but this time, YEEEEES!
THAAAAAAAAAAAANKS TO DANIEL LUNDWALL!!He took like 1 hour or even more to explain me centers for U face, THAAAAANKS MAN!

2024 minutes 10.46 secondsOuyang YunqiWhen I was memorizing the centers, suddenly I felt dizzy. When I tried to stand up, I found it was so difficult.About half a minute later,all goes common. I didn't realize what happened then. When I went to class after the solve, I heard of that a strong earthquake happened in my hometown. The feeling before was caused by it, the earthquake happened thousands of kilometres away!!Luckily, my family were safe.

The memorization spent about half the time.

2124 minutes 12.95 secondsClément GalletWoh !! Second time I solve this cube blindfolded. I start practicing the 4x4x4 blindfold only a week ago.
I'm using my own method for the centers which allows a fast memorisation (I usually take 2-3 min to memorise them) but which takes more time to solve (for now).The memorisation took 9:11. Keep practicing (with the 5x5x5 blindfold maybe) for the Euro 2006 :).

2833 minutes 29.76 secondsKyle Allaire9th attempt.I re-checked everything about 5 times and solved very slowly.DNF on a 4x4x4 is like breaking your neck.You never really get over it. 20070215
2935 minutes 9.00 secondsPéter Trombitáshuhh. this was my first succesfull 4x4 bf I think about for the 20th try. 11 centers and one corner permuted(the corner had wrong orientation). 4 shortcuts at the edges(I solve it with r2 and sometimes with easy commutators) so it was really hard to memorize for me. I'm still very very happy. I couldn't imagine it 3 months ago I started the tries as a joke. Than I had a DNF with two centers swapped. This time I decided to start practicing. I'm trying to get better times:)20090507

My first try at this. Easy corners, but the centers and edges were insanely hard to memorize due to the Eastsheen Color Scheme, which I'm not used to. I can go faster.

My first time at attempting this and it was a success! Didn't time memorisation because I took a long time making sure I remembered everything perfectly. Used standard corners method, Stefan's 4x4x4 edges method and applied his method to the centres. Special thanks to Chris for inspiration and Stefan, I wouldn't have done this without them.
I am definitely going to do this again, maybe after the supercube :) ~ Kirjava
