Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Multiple blindfolded: 7/7 = 7 points, in 26:21.81. Memo was 17:08. Very happy.

This is very good. What if you try 14 cubes?

Edit: MultiBLD is becoming competitive

He doesn't have enough cubes. Plus, I don't think he has memo ready for this many. I think he's tried 10 once, or maybe a few times, but has had to use big cubes as 3x3s for anymore than 10. He's getting more cubes soon though

Edit: Good job Zane.

Yay.

Lol I love how you use your hood as a blindfold. Nice solve!

How to memorize corner?
Memo edge / memo corner use same method or different?
PS. Sorry for the English may be wrong.

im memoing the corners the same as i always did, visually. That's not as hard to do as edges, so i switched to letter memo for edges.

Thanks for answer
I memo corner slow. (Just switched from 3OP to Corner Commutators)
I try visual memorize but it's slow for me or I little practice.:confused:

Awesome!
Are you going to get into multi too, Rowe?

Rowe was totally awesome at multi before. It would be interesting to see how well he would do now with the hour time limit, since he's so fast.

 

[Feryll]

Yes! First 4x4 centers blindfolded (With notes)! Now I'm going to try without them. I finally got it, this was like, the 6th or 7th full attempt.

I hope to post here soon about doing centers w/o notes, and then the whole cube I might actually get into big cubes blindfolded.

Spoiler

If you don't memorize the final letter before the end of a cycle, and no other center with the buffer are solved on that side, what do you do?

Ex. A goes to I, and I is yellow, and so is the side where A is on (No yellow center is completed). In Mike's excellent guide on 4x4 centers, he didn't have the third piece of the commutator memorized, and just said to swap it with another yellow piece. This would be fine if A was solved, and B needed to go to I, and I needed to go to the yellow side, because I could just use A without thinking.

Congratulations!

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your description right, but if I am, I think you're saying this could happen with the very first set of pieces? If so, then it's easy - you just move on to the next letter on that side. So the way I label it, A would go to I, and I looks like it should go back to A. I would instead go to B, and just keep going from there with A still as the buffer piece. If B then needed to go to J, and J needed to go back to the same face, my sequence would look like this: A->I->B->J->C etc.

Does that help?

Oh yes, very much so actually! Maybe I just didn't read your guide closely enough. Thanks!

EDIT: Oh yeah, did it with an actually blindfold on, no notes! I'll be back one more time when I actually do the whole cube

On the last one my fingers slipped on a Y perm so I think that's why it may have been unsolved.
I have to admit though, some of the corners were in spots that made them really easy to memorise so that helped.

I prefer the sexy move one. But I'm sure Rowe knows both and prefers the sune one.

 

[Feryll]

Lol, I'm doing good lately. I just got 2:19.08. It could have been faster, but my fingers are uneasy. It's true what the Shepperds say about late night BLD. It's like your mind throws away everything but the basic functions like memory, idk.

But I'm also clearly better at home, as 3x3 BLD is almost strictly only done at school.
