    you need strong memo and do some sighted solves to make sure that you fully understand the OP corners.
    good luck on next try.

    Yes, sighted solves all the way, especially if it takes you an hour to memo.
    sighted first
    then do some solves with written memo, bld execution
    once this is working (most of the time) go back to "real" bld

    As long as execution is not working properly it is no use spending all that time on memorising.

    But PLEASE start using a better memo system

Old pochman method btw and no memory method (my memo is repeating green orange, white blue etc.) its just so dissapointing to spend so much time trying to do a solve and then just find that you failed.. But each fail brings me closer to a success so eventually...... maybe.
    Plz letter your stickers, thankyou.
    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.

    Trust me ive done many sighted solves using old pochman and I understand how to do the corners perfectly fine. I think im going to try the 3OP corner training on prisma puzzle and see if I can do them blind. About the written memo blind execution ive done that a few times. Also when I start trying the attempt my heart starts racing and I get really anxious (mostly cause I just wanna know what it feels like to take off that blindfold and see a solved cube in my hands) I dont understand what you mean by letter stickers like say blue white becomes AB (or something like that?) this doesnt make alot of sense to me cause Id have an easier time memorizing a string of colors then a string of letters. Sorry fairly new to blind if someone wants to PM me to help me out it would be much appreciated so we dont clutter this thread.

    O wow that sounds really complicated... I get the idea and I can see how that would make memo alot easier but thats alot of time to set it up and be comfortable with it. I think I am going to work on it though it will definetly take alot of the stress out of memo after I memorize my memo techinique....

    Funny thing is I really do have a good memory (I never took notes in school because Id always remember everything) but just trying to remember upwards of a string of 30 colors for edges only then yea that took a while. Thanks you for the help =)

    With this memo method you'll only need about 12 letters for edges and 8 for corners

    Pop on a 4BLD, I fixed it, but at the end it was completely off... and a 57.47 3BLD DNF. Very good for me, would've been a PB and my second sub-1. I practically never get sub 1 DNF's anyway. It was only off by a few moves too. (like 2 edges 2 corners) I really should learn BH, OP corners take so long. Might've been sub 55 without the twisted corner. 22 second memo.

    57.47 DNF scramble: D2 L B2 D2 F2 L2 B2 L' R2 D F' R' U' R2 D' U2 L' U' R' - second scramble from The blindfold race!, week 33

    Memo: Edges: PAy HeLl CaVe MO ("more") GiFts, Corners: I'Ll WiPe QM ("quim"), twisted corner = BH
    MBLD: 2/2 - 2:10, 3/3 - 4:55, 4/4 - 7:28, 5/5 - 19.xx, 6/6 - 22:37, 7/7 - 42:06, 7/8 - 46:32, 9/9 - 37:17, 10/10 - 39:19, 11/11 - 43:04, 12/12 in 44:02
