3	8 minutes 13 seconds	Tim Habermaas	Memo was about 3:10. I hope this motivates the really fast guys to post their times.	20071230

5	8 minutes 40.60 seconds	Mike Hughey	Memorization time: 3:46! Practicing for Cincinnati. Wow, it helps to get a fast memorization! Less than 20% of pieces solved and corners non-lucky, so I figure it's not lucky.

7	13 minutes 2 seconds	Henrik Buus Aagaard	Wow 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.	20080422
8	13 minutes 35 seconds	Lucas Garron	On 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.	20071108
9	13 minutes 37.29 seconds	Derrick Eide	YES! Memo: 6 Minutes Execution: 7 Minutes	20080517
10	14 minutes 59.74 seconds	Jason Baum	I'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
11	15 minutes 4.70 seconds	Dror Vomberg	Forgot to post it.	20051223
12	18 minutes 20.30 seconds	Josh Berg	FIRST EVER 4X4 BLINDSOLVE!! i got another one but it was a bit lucky so i didnt post that one. 9 minute memo lots of room for improvemeint	20080519

14	24 minutes 10.46 seconds	Ouyang Yunqi	When 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.	20080512
15	24 minutes 12.95 seconds	Clément Gallet	Woh !! 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 :).	20060505

20	27 minutes 12 seconds	Teruki Miyazaki	This is second time I solved 4x4x4 blindfolded. I'm using my own method for memorising and solving CeP and EP. Memorising: 16 min. 19 sec.

21	29 minutes 30 seconds	Richard Carr	This is really hard and requires a lot of concentration. See my blindfold solving page.
22	33 minutes 29.76 seconds	Kyle Allaire	9th 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

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.

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	20060222
