I did it twice, one DNF and one succesfull one.
But its just nasty, because i had problems with the movement:fp
You have to practise the algs that you want to use for blindfolded solving so long, so you can do them really absolutely perfectly. Doing the square 1 blindfolded isnt really that hard. I would say, that a 4x4x4 BLD is harder, am i right???

I'd say cubeshape is harder than centers. :p

:D:DAbsolutely, but when you are used to it, it becomes more and more easy. And i also meant, that you have to memorize much more on the 4x4x4, the Square 1, as i remember, is even less than a 3x3x3, i mean to memorize.

It's just speed BLD, aka trace then entire solve.
Or at least trace the cube shape, and then do like an old pochmann style solve.

Thanks, joey. I appreciate the additional incentive to work on changing that. I think I'll go work a little on it right now.

Edit: It took me another year, but I finally got around to it. My method is here:

I can sub-10 square-1 BLD consistently now with this method. Sub-5 should be very easy to get to.
