http://www.solvethecube.110mb.com/imagecube.php?stickers=byyyyyyyyoooooooorbbbbbbybb&size=100 im alway doing y perm from this angle. so what the parity should look like? R(a) perm just the way i hold it?

You must do the R-perm on an angle such that: UB and UL will swap, and UFR and UBR will swap.

ohh. thx a lot, you just expalined everythink very nicely

4.22.06 single 3x3x3 success today

two edges and two corners were already in the right spot and oriented,
edge memo:
LUA Extention, DR JaN Helpt Echt
corner memo FLU UBR URF LBD RDB URF

no scramble (handscrambled)

You're welcome, but I hope you misinterpreted what I said. Because I meant to say UBR instead!
I corrected the original post.

First post:

555 BLD success with memorisation typed out (First attempt ever )

I can't believe no one has commented yet - awesome job! Awesome first BLD post! (You really like wowing people with your first attempts at things, don't you?) It's nice to see you over here in the BLD section for a change! (And now do it for real, please!)

Now to get a 4BLD success.

I empathize - I had the same problem with 7x7x7 BLD vs. 6x6x6 BLD. It took me a couple of months.

Execution time was about 30+ minutes

Yay Robert! Congratulations, that's awesome! Good luck on the 4BLD as well, you'll get it! :tu

At last my 1st 3x3 BLD success! :tu

6m24s of which 3min 10sec was memo.

Old Pochmann method.

BLD was fast becoming my jinx. So many attempts that have been so close, I lost confidence a couple of weeks ago and have almost been steering clear of trying lately despite really enjoying it. I know my memo is fine but nagging doubts have crept into my execution and concentration. Memo is almost too good, I can remember full solves from last week!, but the failures have lead me to make sure more and more on memo though I know that isn't the issue. I really couldn't believe how good it feels. I can see the addiction to the discipline. Hopefully can build on this. Pretty sure the 3 glasses of wine helped!

4x4x4 BLD success! First one since I got back into bld

Previous PB was 24:23.15
This one was 16:03.66 [6:15]
NR is 23:49
But they never have 4BLD at competitions here

Thanks guys, it means a lot coming from you I think the fact that there are no fixed centres on the 444, makes it easier for me to memo incorrectly, particularly on the centres. I'll definitely have a proper attempt at 444 and 555 BLD when I get faster and better at forming words with pairs of letters.

Welcome to your new addiction

@Bolded part: Yay!
@Underlined part: Yay!

And congratulations on the sub-NR personal best! Very nice time! :tu

Just remember that for BLD, and especially big BLD, that any practice is good practice. Even a DNF solve is good practice. Good luck on your next solve! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks!
Comms are getting easier to recognize and execute, and my word list is becoming more solid each time. If I had more time I'd try 5x5 solves, but school is too busy.

 

[minime12358]

Tonight, I just tried my first large memo after I finished memorizing my LPL.....

4x4 Bld: 23:14.919 (A ups truck gets hit by a ram which is taken away by a helicopter that is rained on by waffle fries that catche on fire from a lantern E ........)

SUCCESS FIRST TRY- BOOYAH!

God, that was such a rush looking at the solved cube after I took the blindfold off.

Just for the fun of it, Ill try a 4 cube multi blind tommorow.....

 

[RyanReese09]

Hmm, I was planning on doing a 9 multi attempt Saturday but with all this 4x4x4 BLD talk, perhaps I'll freshen up on edges (l/r slice) and maybe give it an attempt . I haven't attempted one yet.

 

[minime12358]

:O I did something that Ryan hasn't yet done in blind?!

Lol jk, good luck on the solve. Since you already know BH, you might as well apply that to the edges. There are only a few hard cases (Mostly when you shoot to an adjacent edge) and you dont have to keep track of your r2s and the algorithms for l slice and r slice edges are gone.
Also, parity is a lot easier in my opinion. Its just l2 U2 l2 U2 F2 l2 F2 r U2 r' U2 l2
Which is actually pretty easy to learn by noticing the patterns. This switches UrF with UrB

 

[Phlippieskezer]

Did my first PUBLIC 3x3x3 BLD last night.
A friend didn't believe me when I said that I can solve the Rubik's Cube blindfolded, so... On the bus accompanied by a couple of other friends, I did a BLD solve. Generally I do them alone in my room, so it was something different to successfully solve the cube BLD in front of a bunch of people expecting me to do it at lightning-speed (which I didn't). I did 2 BLDs on the ride to the mall (where I did none; I was kept busy), and another 2 BLDs on the way back. 2/4 were successful (the two failures were: I forgot one letter, so I had two flipped edges, and the other one I completely messed up on a T-perm, so everything was messed up. >.<).
It's an accomplishment because now he knows empirically that I can, in fact, BLD solve a Rubik's cube.

All the people that were watching (that I knew) were non-cubers, so maybe I'll have some more cubing friends after a while, now... Perhaps some BLD ones eventually, too. Already have one converting to cubicism (teaching him LBL), so...

You have some blind friends that cube?

 

[sa11297]

first complete attempt and it was a solve. (I think ; maybe I tried before)
Not unexpected because I took edges and tried to get consistent with that then corners.

 

[babyle]

1:14.15 BLD solve. The case was really lucky 4 edges solved and 3 corners mis-orientated. Scramble if anyone wants to try it
