I would still like to see the proof of doing it with a non-gimmicked blindfold. It looks more legit this time, but as somebody said earlier, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, or something to that effect.
I don't understand what this is supposed to mean, can someone help me out?
Again, I used a technique that allows the user to memorize a 52 card deck in thirty eight seconds (current world record) and multiple universities have been investigating. BLD single, double or triple piece swaps (commutators) on a Rubik's cube can't compete.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!Matyas Kuti is the reason we use BLD blockers in competition. He peaked under his blindfold to get world records, but when blockers were used, couldn't reproduce results (like in this video).
It's also why most of us know that the type of blindfold OP is using is super easy to peak under. During execution, he's making some gestures that could be construed as peaking. Thus, I remain unconvinced.

If you bet your friend or someone that you couldn't get someone here to reconstruct a beginner method solve, well, you won your bet. But here it goes:

Lots of unnecessary rotations here that seem to indicate physically looking around the puzzle. A whole z or x rotation might be exaggeration, but I wanted to indicate when this was obviously happening. Lots of mistakenly placed corners/edges too early on, only noticed when pieces came "into view" of the solver. Sorry, but I'm still rather suspicious of this.
But again, I'm personally less interested in you being able to do this and more interested in how your memory method would work. Specifically, what about your memory method makes it necessary to do move sequences like:
These sequences make it seem as if you are actually looking at the cube. If you're looking at a visualization of a cube in your mind, why all the U moves and rotations physically? Can you not do this mentally without physically manipulating a cube?
- U U U y' U y'
- y' y' y y y'
- y y' y y' U' U y2 U U
- y' y' U2 U' U' y
I applied how I learned to play BLD chess to cubing. I only have to "deal" with a few pieces at a time. My simulated cube looks like an actual computer simulation, I can't see every side at once but am also aware of all sides. This is just like in chess BLD. It may be inefficient but it was an easier transition for me.
I coincide all of the physical movements with the mental ones to prevent confusion and DNFs.I'll ask again: why all the U moves and rotations physically? Can you not do this mentally without physically manipulating a cube?
woah really? are they on youtube?Feliks was caught cheating in his earliest 3x3x3 videos, you're fine here.
I believe they're gone, and that's a good thing.woah really? are they on youtube?

it feels like I either have to renounce my method and say it's fake (which it isn't) or receive constant attacks.
Kind of off topic, but big cube reconstructions are just tedious, not difficult. If a solve video is difficult to reconstruct, it's only because of poor lighting, angle or video quality, which are all factors that would affect any kind of solve video, not just big cubes. (Max Park's videos often hit all three of these factors, which is kind of annoying.)Thanks for devoting the time to that, I find it incredible that people can do that with larger puzzles, where exact layers can be ambiguous at high speed, especially with solves like Kevin Hays' 7x7 wrs!
