[Help Thread] Multi-Blind Discussion

Hey Guys! I'm new to multi blind, so I want to know what are the "benchmarks" in this event. For example, in 3x3, we have sub-20 is where people start to become serious, sub-10 is awesome (perhaps you disagree) etc. So far I've completed 2 successful 2 cube attempts (at home), with maybe 7 mins memo in total, and 1 min exec per cube. My first attempt was done by sentence for cube 2 (first to memo), and regular memo for cube 1 (last to memo). I hear that many people memorise their last cube as a regular memo.

My second attempt used an on the spot loci, with no such experience before. I have to say it worked wonders, and I can still recall my loci memo from a few hours ago. Anyway, I'd like some advice as to what I should be aiming for. I am going to be buying some more cubes for multi blind practise. How many would you guys recommend starting off with? Obviously I will work up to larger numbers, but I want to know roughly where I'll end up. In case it matters, my 3BLD is roughly 2:20 with 50-60s exec using OP/M2, but I know I can improve memo a lot. I memo 3BLD as corners > edges, and exec edges > corners.

Thanks, and I look forward to being a part of the multi blind community.
 
Ah yes I've been trying some advanced M2 out, and also 3 style corners. Though I've only ever been brave enough to try it in a solve once.
 
I tested the multi blind waters with a 4 cube attempt. Didn't time it, but roughly 35 mins in total, and got 3/4. Perfect memo and recall, but during the second cube at the end of a corner target I slipped and became confused. I even tried it later and I know exactly what went wrong. I guess that's a lesson in not hesitating during BLD solves. I'm really surprised at how condense memo becomes when you group them as images and put them in locations!

Fun times :D
 
Haven't MBLDed in a month or so, so I started small, but I think PB for 3/3
1. 16:02.80
1) R B2 U2 R' D2 R' B2 F2 U2 R' F2 D F' D2 B' F' R2 D U2 L D'
2) R2 B' L2 F U2 L2 F L2 F' U2 F R U F R' F' U2 F D' R' B2
3) D F' D' F' L B2 R' F' R' U2 R2 F2 L2 B D2 B L2 F' D2 F'
 
MBLD PB 15/16 47:43[31] , my second attempt at 16 cubes
3cycle on edges at 12th cube, no idea where it came from
I'm happy about the result :)
Under 3 minutes per cube so in next attempt I'll try 20
 
Thanks guys, it's always a great motivation to see your comments.
And in mbld a lot of motivation is needed :)
Are you going to try more cubes Matej?

Yes, surely some day :-) I would like to get to 10+ one day. I am practicing 5 now to become more consistent and faster :-).
I think 10+ is almost impossible with my unperfect system yet... Every attempt I discover new letter pairs and have to think of new images, and that's what is slowing me down.

Doing a lot of 3bld will help with that!
 
Having a good memory system is for me the most important thing
I don't use letter pairs, instead I just named every single situation
For example, from UB I have 20 colors, from UL I have 20 characters from video games, from LD I have items ...
I practise it by spelling every single word as fast as I can, and from time to time I'm updating the system if I think that some images aren't good enough.
Characteristical images = better memo
 
Did a multi after a long time and managed a 12/16 in 43:12[30:03]. Satisfied considering my long break and that the DNFs were 3 cycle of edgesx1 and 3 cycle of cornersx3. Next time, I will probably take memo a tad slower. Recall felt good still, but I floundered on the 3BLD cube. And any good image for XV?? :confused:
