Multiple-blindfolded

Great...
what's your problem by solving 2 when you can do 1?
In the beginning, my problem was, that there were the same symbols for each piece, so i was often confused...
You'll do it:)

Actually, I've never tried multi-BLD, and I've only ever done normal BLD no more than 20 attempts (maybe 50% success rate). Thus I am slow (about 5 mins). I might actually try multi-BLD later today for the weekly comp just for the sake of it ^^. Actually, I set the end of March as my target as I don't have much time to pratise BLD, and I was going to use my mornings at University before lectures to practise BLD in a quiet place in the library or something... But, still I'll give it a shot later!
 
that's very good...try try try...never give up;)...
@ArnaudvG: i think i will try 10 cubes tomorrow for the weekly comp.
i never knew, what this weekly comp. is but now i know it, cause i was looking around on the page a bit:) is it okay, if i try another one with 10 tomorrow, after having done 5 today for the comp.?

Greetings...Dennis;):)
 
Well, that did NOT go well, lol. Complete botch up. Using the same room for memo probably didn't help either :P . But that wouldn't have mattered either way. The attempt I made at corners was abysmal and I don't memo them using images anyway...19 minutes of my life spent doing almost completely nothing, never mind :(
 
Hey Dennis, I have another question about your memo. Do you use locations with your stories, (Roman Rooms or Journey Method) or do you just come up with a location based on the story? Also, how do you know when you are done with the corners, edges, or a whole cube? Do you have specific images that signal the end of them? Thank you so much! (I think that by next week I can try my first attempt. I'll post the results.)
 
@Dene:
yes, but i mean, that it is very good, not to give up, what you are hopefúlly doin;)

@alexc:no, i do not have a location for my story...i just memorize the pictures by having some verbs between the images, so it is just a story, without any location or sth.
Well, i do corners at last and when the next image is an image for an edge, i know, that i have to go on with the next cube and that it is solved now;):)

Greetings...Dennis;):)
 
I have no intention of giving up :) . I of course, never expected that first attempt to go well, and thanks to that crappy first scramble of the competition, I really got thrown off. It will be a while before I try again, but I promise I will have it by the end of March!
 
To be honest, I don't really like multi-BLD very much. Well, actually, the truth is that I dread each attempt up until I do it. Then, when I'm finished, I'm usually very happy with the result (and it's nice to see all the solved cubes), but then I don't want to try again. However, at the beginning of the year I decided to do the same thing Arnaud is doing, and try one more than I've ever done successfully before each week, and I just got 5 this week! So it's 6 next week. I'm hoping for 20 by the end of the year, but it's starting to take too long since I'm so slow.

Karthik, congratulations on getting a 5th cube. I was hoping I'd beat you this week because I had 5 cubes and you didn't. Oh well, congratulations.

I use Roman Rooms, one per cube, and I go in the order that I created the rooms. I use images by pairs for the permutation, and then hexadecimal converted to images for orientation. I've made about 10 total tries, and got 2/2 3 times, 3/3 once, 4/4 once, and 5/5 once. So my accuracy so far is pretty good.

Now it really seems painful to think about doing 6 cubes next week. Big cubes BLD seems so much less painful for some reason. I don't know why, but it does.
 
I definitely don't think MultiBLD is painful.I enjoy doing it a lot.
I use PAO and place these images in my journey.
Total # of locations=Total # of cubes.
I also like "burning" technique which Tim mentioned somewhere.
BTW Mike,I have 7 cubes now, but 3 are very bad.So I won't be trying >5 until I get my DIYs.Though I will get more cubes at Indian Open.:rolleyes:

Hehe, i had to use one keychain cube + 2 4x4 + 2 crappy store bought cubes for my 16 cubes attempt :D.

But Tim, you still have 12 good cubes.I was thinking of using my 4x4 but even that is equally bad.;)

Yes, but do you have different images for the corners and edges or something? How can you tell the difference between a corner and edge image?

Depending on the order of the appearance of the images.I memo corners first then edges.

You can use some kind of "flags" to mark the end of edges/corners.
I generally memo all corners in 1 image.So it is very easy for me to tell when my corners are done.
Moreover you can make letter pairs separately for corners and edges.Corner A-H, Edges I-T
 
@alexc: well i have always different images for edges and coners, so i know when there is an image for a corner, and then an image for an edge, that i have to go on to the next cube:)

Greetings...Dennis;):)
 
Ok, now I understand. Sorry if I was a bit unclear expressing my question. I think I might try to have different images for edges and corners. The only problem is I use M2 for edges, and I'm switching to Y perm with no orientation for corners. There aren't enough letters in the alphabet to have different images for them.
So, I think I have to come up with some symbol that tells me to start the corners or start edges. Like I could have something dying for the first image for the corners and I could have some other specific verb that signals me to start the edges. This way whenever I run into something dying in my story, I know that that image is the start of the corners. Does anybody do something similar to this? (I know Tim imagines the image on fire to signal a misoriented piece.)
 
@Joey
Yes, but I might want to do a more freestyle variation. For multi, I think I will get confused if I use the same image over and over again, especially for 5+ cubes, I think it would be difficult. So, I think I'll still use what I described in my earlier post. I think your method will work well for regular bld, though. Thanks! :)
