2:43.45 what the ****.

 

[That70sShowDude]

Have only had 2 multi-bld attempts w/ 3 cubes ever. Results were:

3/3 15:49.16
3/3 13:53.73

Yet to miss a cube!

Holy crap, I think Spef's BLD is the same as my sighted solving in both 3x3 and 4x4

1:02.43 3x3 BLD at Madrid Open with the worst bld format ever. It was best of 1..and if you sub-4 the first attempt, you get a 2nd attempt. So went real slow at first attempt and full force on the second. Decent scramble thankfully

Also 4/4 multi in 20:00 (1st place)

Will be going for sub-1 BLD at UK Open or DNF trying

edit: sorry it was 20:02 =p

Wow wow wow! That's awesome Amos On both events too! See you soon

Thanks I wanted to try 5 cubes at first (4 just seems so...not 5..lol) as I was pretty confident at getting 4..but I thought I had to do 4bld right after that and I wanted to focus more on 4bld (in which I sucked badly after all) so I decided on 4. Awesome feeling to take off the blindfold and see all solved cubes and people congratulating you though If I do get a chance to do multi in competition again I´ll definitely work on a better system for corners and do at least 6.

Also the 1:02 BLD was a pretty good scramble (though I only realised that after solving, which is good cos good scrambles make me nervous), no pieces solved, 2 edges flipped so only 9 letters to memo. Corners was normal. I have it on video, will upload when I get back!

Got a 6:xx.xx time today. It was the first try in 2 years

What a feeling. Opening your eyes and having a solved puzzle in your hands. Especially when you're sure you messed up towards the end.

My 2nd ever attempt at a BLD solve. 3x3 solved. Woop woop.

Probably the most adrenaline I've had pumping through my system since I crashed my car at 70mph.

 

[Keroma12]

Since I started BLD 3 months ago or so, I've been going over memo twice, and my PB was about 5:30. I could always remember my memo the next day though. Today I tried only going through memo once, and it worked out so well! 3:52.58, over a minute and a half better than previous PB!! Plus I can't remember the memo at all, so I must be doing it really efficiently now

 

[~Adam~]

Another fail and another success. Both fails were during parity.
1st I just messed up the alg but even if I hadn't I still would've failed because
2nd fail I didn't put the final U into the alg because I've never needed to before.
So I'm extremely pleased with my 50% success rate to kick off my BLD experience.

 

[cube980]

OMG I just got my first blindfold success while I was at school yesterday.
I few weeks ago I tried learning BLD but I couldn't get a success. After like 15 tries I just gave up.
At school I had a cube and a blindfold in my backpack and we had study hall so I gave it a try.
The scramble was actually pretty hard and I didn't time myself but oh well.

4/4 in 7:59.38
First sub-8 ever

And 1:28 average of 12. Yeah, i suck at single bld :/.

Nice job, sub8 feels good :tu

Congrats Tim, an amazing accomplishment!

Just got a 7/7 MBLD on video, time was 46.xx . Does anyone know how to import a large videofile from iPhone to computer? Too large to send on emaill/YouTube.

Yes yes yes

 

[tim]

Keep practicing Tim! (I wanna see you do 11/11 fast too!)

Noooo! I like my UWR, as lame as it may be compared to the other ones!

. I don't really like numbers which aren't dividable by 4. So i probably won't try it soon.

Thanks. Nice job on the 7/7, too . And can't you just sync your iPhone with your computer? I thought everything on the phone is then being copied over to your Mac.

A sub 2 average per cube is amazing, congratulations. :tu

I remember it wasn't all that long ago you starting multi and you're getting pretty good, keep it up.

 

[MrMoney]

tim: Oh, I did not know that. I thought it was the other way around, that you could only send files on your iTunes to your iPhone. I will try this later

Zane_C: Thanks man, I have been training MBLD for two months now, an attempt every two days ranging from 3 - 10 cubes. I only practise in my livingroom with parents/wife/sisters/TV around, or else sitting all alone for about 1 hour would be lame. Maybe my competitiontimes will be faster without all the noise. Any experience with this?

Right now I am just trying to be as accurate as I can and doing slowsolving. 7 cubes take about 10minutes to solve. Do you recommend going at a faster pace or slow and sturdy as to not lockup / loose track?

11 cubes multi = 11 scrambled cubes + 1 "lucky" solved cube :tu

From what I have seen 1.5 minutes per cube is a pretty normal execution time for the champions when they are doing larger numbers of cubes. (They do tend to take 1.5 minutes per cube memorization, too, though.)
