MBLD without the 1 hour limit, the only time limit is 10 mins per cube

what is old style MBLD

It was a WCA event before the current standardized multi-blind format (pre-2009 rules).
Competitors attempted to solve as many cubes as possible blindfolded in a single attempt.
The memorization and execution phases were combined — no formal split or time limit.

Time limit was generally 10 minutes per cube attempted, generally competitors used to take 6 hours to do their attempt which put a toll on the organizing aspect. Also the uncertainty on the total time of the attempt made this attempt hard to do it officially.

Nowadays people attempt old-style unofficially at home, and Graham has the WB for it!

So Graham went from 100 cube attempt, to 160, to 200, to 250 to 300 to 350.

This is his 6th stepping stone in extreme multi blinding.

The final result was 319/350 which is 288 points.

This is the new World's best old style attempt!

The final moments taken from the stream. All the video credits to cubicle and blindfolded ambition.
