6x6+ Blindfolded Rankings Thread

[LittleLumos]

Wow congrats, is there a video you recorded of you doing the attempt?

Thank you, that's really nice!
The support in the cubing community is simply amazing!

And i did record the execution, yes. However, this was mainly for me to review mistakes and for now, i would prefer not to post a video of me on Youtube Maybe i'll post one when i get a bit faster

Sorry, I hadn't checked this thread for a while, and apparently I'm the only person available to edit the rankings lately, but they're updated now with @LittleLumos 6BLD, @Sondar 6BLD, and @seungju choi megaBLD.

Sorry for the delay! Congrats on your results

Finally got my first megaBLD success! 18:53.59[11:09.09]

Started off megaBLD with 3style corners and TuRBo edges, and working on a 3300 word category letter pair system so as to avoid memorizing more than one word per 2 piece pair. Took 15 tries to get this success lmao

considering memo is 11:09 but the amount of stuff to memo should be about equal to a 4x4....I think I can improve this a little bit
gotta finish that 3300 word letter pair list first though

Congrats Graham, good job!
Watched 4 tries on the stream and missed the one where you got the success.

3300 word letter pair list is a lot.

Whoops, just found out this is still being updated.

I found his channel

I found his channel

Dong Jae Lee is very talented. He has been actively competing in the WCA only for over a year before the pandemic hit. (https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2018LEED01)

Just saw all his video on his channel, his 52/52 in under 2 hour multi attempt is impressive.

I even made a forum post about his MBLD PR attempt, where his judge kinda broke a WCA reg by touching the cube, https://forum.worldcubeassociation....-to-arrange-the-cubes-in-a-mbld-attempt/11216

I hope he continues competing and does not get bored of blindsolving anytime soon.

Thought I would share some of my first success videos as well:

6BLD: 1 hour 29 mins total (with 46 minutes memorization)
Video:

7BLD: 2 hours 35 mins total (with 1 hour 36 minutes memorization)
Video:

Megaminx: 58 minutes total (with 29 minutes memorization)
Video:

For my first success videos I kinda went slower and much more carefully to guarantee I get a successful solve. My subsequent attempts were faster.

And as an extra here is a video of my Square-1 blindfolded solve (first success on video):

Enjoy and best regards!

First 6BLD success, finally !!
27:43[17:28]
Cube: MGC
First attempt was in the summer of 2018, then maybe around 12 attempts split over 2.5 years.

Yesterday was my first overall BLD attempt in about 2 months, missed by a slice somewhere and a few pieces.
And today's finally the right time! I again went really safe for memo, and I took my time for exec too; but it's quite satisfying to finally get it. Now with a few more attempts, tracing for obliques will get better and faster and I can rush a bit more.

 

[sigalig]

Congrats on the results, everybody! I just updated the rankings with the last couple weeks of results.
Let me know if you see any mistakes

Happy cubing!

Wheyyy! Glad to see another Malaysian on the 6+ BLD ranking, how many attempts did it took you to get the 6bld and the 7bld success? Your accuracy seems superb

Hellloooo @NevinsCPH glad to see another Malaysian here! Thanks for the kind words for my 6bld and 7bld solves, lol.

My 6BLD was 2nd try and 7BLD was 4th try. I went pretty slowly/carefully and hence more accurate? Most of the time during 7BLD I was feeling for the right layers to turn, I am not really used to turning the 7x7 since I don't speed solve it.

I see that your 6BLD and 7BLD times are much faster than me though, haha. How long have you been doing 6BLD/7BLD for?

My first few attempts goes way back in 2012 but I never have any success so I didn't try till about 2017/18 I think. Don't really remember.

 

[NevinsCPH]

Sorry for double post.

Finally sub 20 on 6BLD!

Thanks and massive well done to you too! That's a very impressive time for a second success!

Does anyone know if anyone is working on a blindfolded 10x10 or higher currently?

I had 6 failed attempts on the 10 about a year ago and have all but given up (my best attempt was my first attempt, 88% complete).

I’m considering a comeback but I know it’ll probably take me a year or more to build back up again to the big cubes. The idea of being only the 2nd person to do the 10 or even the 1st person to do the 12 is appealing, but it’s a huge undertaking.

What does everyone think?

 

[Jacck]

I think that someone who does 10x10 or higher doesn't have to compare himself with anyone else.
