[Unofficial] 1 Year Delayed 4BLD Solve - Part 1/2

[Ollie]

I posted this yesterday on my YouTube, so apologies to those who have seen this already, but I figured it was about time I tried this:

 

[Berd]

Oh snap! Good luck! Isn't that your main 4x4!?

 

[TDM]

I thought 3BLD was impressive... Good luck!

 

[Ollie]

It is indeed, stops me from getting distracted from other stuff this year. I'll just find another cube for Euros

 

[asacuber]

What are you planning to do next year? MBLD or 5BLD?

This is very impressive and all, but what everyone is clearly most interested in is what the thing on the back of your hand is. My personal theory is duct tape, but that leaves the question of why you have duct tape on your hand.

 

[Ollie]

I'm creating an air of mystique, and it's working.

Good luck! How did you choose your orientation so that you still know it? (and can tell it another person?)

Oh cool, but i got something better planned for this year

Best of luck!

Dang, good luck, Ollie! There's probably something I'm missing, but how are you going to know the orientation?

In last few days I thought about the same idea. And it's a big challenge for me so I'm in. Good luck, Ollie!

The cube seems to have been tied to the box with duct tape so it doesn't move, and the box cover has an arrow or something like that, probably memorizing where that "arrow" should point will not be a problem (for him).


Good luck!

Good luck!

Box stuffed with paper so the cube doesn't move, F face is oriented in-line with something memorable on the tin, which is just about visible through the tape. Plus, the top two layers of tape were done at diagonals, giving me an extra clue as to the correct orientation.

1 year delayed MBLD sounds cool

P.S.: I bumped this post as I wanted to check on all delayed rankings for once and verify them.

He didn't do it. Although he does want to do BLD while skydiving sometime soon if it is medically possible.

The attempt was a DNF, I will try this and get a success.
