5BLD 1st attempt DNF(1:00:17.88)[36:16.94] , Off by 2 centers , big fail

that would've been awesome to get a success on your first try.

Yeah , it would have been nice but I'm somehow happy with the result , I was so close

Nah, a tiny, tiny, tiny fail.

Swapped centers are so easy to miss during memorizing

I hate 5BLD

Nah, a tiny, tiny, tiny fail.

the 2nd and 3rd attempts were a disaster , I wish I had it in the first time :/

Third try at gigaminx. Scrambled bad enough that it's not worth photos. [4:20:06.71, 2:25:25]. At least the time is still coming down. I'm getting a little better at keeping track of centers used and finding extra cycles. Finding the pieces during memorization is definitely the hardest part.

I misoriented the puzzle somewhere, which is why it was scrambled when I was done. There were a number of blocks of pieces solved, but overall it definitely looked mostly scrambled.

DNF(17:45.61)[8:18.45] by 2 obliques and 3 outer x-centers.
Seems like 6BLD nerding is my new hobby

3BLD attempt: off by 3 edges and 3 corners. I had a really solid memo, i don't know what went wrong...

9BLD is more fun. You should try it!

4BLD DNF: 10:24.43

2 opposite centers. Memoed V instead of U, and while executing I guessed i memoed wrong, but still didn't want to change it just in case. This was for the BLD race, scramble 1.
Solve had all the possible parities. (centers, wings, corners)


E: Another DNF by 3 wings, this time 9 minutes

5BLD DNF: 29:08.99

Considering m PB is something like 45, and I've gotten sub 30 DNF's I will be getting a PB by a lot once I get another success.

7 +-centers (no idea what happened) 2 x-centers (forgot to do them) 2 corners (twisted, idk why)

Getting close though. Wing memo was reallt slow since I messed it up and it took 5 minutes to find what was wrong, and another 5 minutes to get the right memo.

I need to get a 6x6 to do 6BLD

Great Roman! You get crazy fast man!
Since you do cubes up to 9x9x9 BLD, i want to ask you something:
How do you keep track of the different layers while blindfolded? Do you just have to get used to it or how do you handle that?

Greetings, Dennis

How do you keep track of the different layers while blindfolded? Do you just have to get used to it or how do you handle that?

On 9x9: Middle layer can be found by this way (with practice, of cource): since its middle, you just have to place your hands on equal distance from both sides of the cube.
Next to middle needs more practice, like to get used to it turning it with your eyes opened. For me it was easy. Plus, on SS middle layer turns a little bit harder than others, this is one more way to know that you turn middle instead of 4th.
Outer layer is the easiest to find, next to outer - not too far. The hardest for me was to recognize third, and I did it like that: took two layers, turn them how you need, then find next layer, and turn all 3 layers in opposite direction.

I thought about that (on the 6x6 of course). So i will try that. Thanks!
