6x6+ Blindfolded Rankings Thread

If you do it in 6:58 it would be twice as fast as the second fastest person.

I would need a good amount more practice with fast memo for that

Wow, magnificent! The most impressive thing I've seen in a long time!

Wonderful reaction, too.

Someday maybe I'll be able to come close to that . . . . Who am I kidding? I'm only getting close on 3BLD after over a year of not really trying. I don't have the talent or the determination to do well at BLD of any kind.

I like the black in your color scheme. Really looks sharp.

Talent may play a little into it, but it’s mostly determination. This was the 16th time I’ve attempted to solve a Gigaminx Blind in the past 3 weeks. That constant practice helped me to make less and less mistakes each time.

Also, thanks, I really love the black. It makes recognition so much easier, which helps a lot in blind. I got black tiles included with my lux edition of the galaxy Megaminx and I decided to try replacing gray. After a few blind solves I ordered black stickers for the rest of my dodecahedrons.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm well aware that determination can make up for a lot of lack of talent, but at this point I've got neither. I've probably done 100-150 3BLD attempts since starting to learn about 14 months ago, and I think I have 3 successes. I'm sure I'll get better, and I've got a goal of getting official 3, 4, and 5BLD successes that I firmly believe I'll achieve someday, and I even have high hopes for 6 and 7BLD. Part of my problem is I've practiced the wrong kind of memorization for the last 15 years: bible verses work best memorizing with small errors and going back to correct the errors later, and blindsolving isn't as forgiving of that.

Wow that is insane! Great job

Long time since I was here. I just set a new PB in 7bld, 50:37.00 (31:06).
It was more than four years since the last one, a post when this thread was
fairly new (July 2013).

No video because I sat in total darkness and solved, (it is just now dawning and
this was an hour ago). That was nice!

Revisited 7bld for the first time in a couple months, mainly motivated by the weekly competition. 32:59.67 success with 18:57.29 memo. PB by over 8 minutes

Just found this one:

Tom Nelson with the first sub10 in 6bld - woah!

I finally decided to start doing more cubic blind.

Enoch Gray, USA
6BLD in 26:10.79 [13:41]

 

[hotufos]

Solving cubes that big blindfolded is simply incredible. I can do a 3x3 blindfolded, but with puzzles that big there are just so many pieces. I think the most impressive is 2-7 relay BLD.

 

[TheGrayCuber]

Decided to try 7BLD since I succeeded on 6. I got a success first try!

Yaaaaay I solved an 8x8 blindfolded (11th attempt)
Funny thing, first time that I "solved" outer xcenters, I actually executed as if they were middle xcenters. I realized it on the very last outer xcenter letter pair, undid all of it, then redid it all correctly. Wasted pretty much exactly 4 minutes of execution because of this mistake. Very, very surprised that I managed to fix everything perfectly even with that mistake.

14:29.82[7:23.29] 6BLD PB
Tried out a new memo/review system and it worked pretty well, cut about a minute off of my 6BLD memo PB. Too bad I barely missed sub-Ollie
