Does anybody know what's the biggest cube that has ever been solved blindfolded?The biggest I have found on YouTube is 7BLD.
I used to use this grip, but now I've switched to set up to A9 because it's <R,U,D> and therefore faster for meThis is not a generic solution, but I love my BH alg for this particular one:
F R' U2 R F' R' F U2 F' R
With left thumb on U and UL, and left middle finger on D and DL, right thumb on UR and right middle finger on DR, pull with left ring finger for F, then wrist the R', then double-trigger the U2 with the right hand, then undo the R F'. Then invert the order for the second half. No regrips at all - very very fast. Of all my PLLs, I only have a few that are as fast as this algorithm.
I think you're right. There are maybe 10 people who have done 7bld. Mike is still trying the 8x8, so hopefully soon that will be the biggestDoes anybody know what's the biggest cube that has ever been solved blindfolded?The biggest I have found on YouTube is 7BLD.

x L' UPerm L xAny good algs for RF -> LD -> DF?
Talking of how M2 and freeslice have a similar concept, has anyone ever tried doing BLD with E2 (just do zy rotation and start inserting pieces into the FR slot)? Obviously actually doing it successfully isn't any harder than M2, but just wondering whether anybody does it.
How would I go about memorising edges for turbo? Can I do it the same as I would for OP?

Haha, duh. Thank you.x L' UPerm L x
Yes, because there will always be an even number of edges flipped.When doing M2 for edges, and there's an edge flipped, at the end will the other flipped edge be the buffer piece?
I think it was a mistake for A9s to be introduced before orthogonals in byu's tutorial. If you haven't already, I suggest you skip A9s and learn orthorgonals. They are 10 move conjugated commutators, (a 1 move setup is applied, then an a pure commutator is executed, followed by the undo of the setup move). A9s should then become clearer.I am starting to learn BH corners. I have the pure commutators down, but once I get to A9s I'm pretty lost.
I just realized that I have this problem for BLD solving. At home, I always talk when memorizing, as in saying my memorization out loud. I use letter pairs for sentences, words, etc for edges, and audio for corners. And for some reason, my memorization works A LOT better if I do that. However, at competitions, I try to limit the talking because it can distract other competitors and it probably sounds weird. Limiting the talking makes my memo a lot worse though. Multi BLD is even worse... Any suggestions? Thanks.
I use Eric Limeback's M2/OP method for BLD solving, and I have a few questions.
1) I'm happy with the actual method, but is his memo method the best? Are there obvious better memo methods (for his method)?
2) I memo corners, memo edges, solve corners, then solve edges. I've heard some people saying its better to memo edges, memo corners, solve corners, then solve edges, because I memo corners by tapping and saying the letter of the colour. Should I switch to that?
3) I memo edges with letters of the sticker (A-X) in groups of 4. Should I make a word for every single possible letter pair (eg CT=cat and WR=world record), so I can remember it easier, or would that take to long and be pointless?
4) When I have a solve with parity and there are some flipped edges, should I flip the edges before or after solving the parity (I don't think it makes a difference though)?
