6x6+ Blindfolded Rankings Thread

I think relays for sure! 2-4 i think is to small compared to the size of the cubes that are posted here in comparison for an accomplishment but i think 2-5, 2-6 and 2-7 and up (if anyone is game enough to try it :P) should be add for sure! But for other puzzles i dont think they should be added megaminx is the only difficult i think and we have that already!
 
Thank you, Roman, for editing and of cause for your great jobs in real-bigblind-cubing!

I just finished my 13th attempt Megaminx blind and it was the first success, so I am the 13th to join the list. It was nearly a 1,5 Megaminx: I had to turn back 13 edges, because I memorized a 2 instead of a 1. But it was a success - yeah!

I will add the video tomorrow.

Could you add my nationality in the 7x7x7-ranking? Thanx!

Also I call upon all interested BLDers to discuss the idea about relays table again. I think we should make a list of BLD accomplishments like solving other puzzles blindfolded, or BLD relays, and display this list in a separate table above other tables. What do you think?

I have an idea for the ranking (if there would be interest by others for these lists at all):

A 5x5 would count 1.0, a 6x6 2.0, a 7x7 3.0, a 8x8 4.0, a 4x4 0.5, a 3x3 0.2, a 2x2 0.1 (and the megaminx 2.0).

A complete solved relay 2-5 (notification: 2,3,4,5) would count 0.1+0.2+0.5+1.0=1.8
I remember a 2-7 of Mike Hughey with a DNFd 6x6 (notification 2,3,4,5,-6,7): 0.1+0.2+0.5+1.0-2.0+3.0=2.8
Multiblind would also be possible:
I got a 2/2 with the 5x5 (notification 5,5), that counts 1.0+1.0=2.0

For the list, only results >1.5 points should be allowed, maybe an exeption rule for multiblind 3/3 4x4 - and I think, a minimum of two >=4x4-cubes should be involved.

Advantage of this system: relays and multiblind could be in one list, even a relay 2,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4 would be possible. If points are the same, the better time would count. OK, the points for the different cubes can't be fair in every comparison, but I think, that isn't that important.

For other puzzles I don't know: I agree with bryson azzopard, that they are not that difficult (OK, there are some like the square-1, which is nearly impossible to solve), but clock, skewb, pyraminx? I made a relay of them in less then 20 minutes and that was not very fast.

How about this?

First, congrats on your megaminx achievements!
About the system: I don't know, for me solving a 6x6 is much easier than mega. I think it's impossible to fairly compare the difficulty of relays or other puzzles BLD. For example, Mike Hughey have tried a gigaminx BLD. How hard is it exactly? How many 4x4s is it equal to? This sort of question is surely nonsense. So I think I am going to do this: make the list of such attempts and point out that it is unordered. However, behined the scene I will assign a subjective level of difficulty just to make sure that things like 7MBLD 2/2 are displayed before 2-5 relay.
 
@Roman:
Thanx!

Some kind of order should be, a subjective level should do. And perhaps it's better to wait, how many results will come in.
But for the start it should be clear, which results are good enough for the list. E.g.: are solves with an DNF allowed, like 3/4 4x4?

If the definition is: "harder to do as an 5x5" then a 2x2 + 5x5 would do, why not?

Another thing: i have a 4/4 4x4, a 2/2 5x5 and a 2x2-5x5, would I appear only with the best result or would there be an entry for each category?

By the way: another idea for blind-achievements could be "longest streak of harder than 5x5-cubes" in a seperate list, e.g. solving two 6x6 in a row.
 
@ Roman: Thanx.

There should be some order, a subjective one will do. And it can discussed later, if there are a lot of entrys.

But for the start it should be clear, which results are "good" enough. An easy definition would be: "harder then a single 5x5". Then a 2x2+5x5 would do, why not? And a 3/4 4x4 would do, too.

Another idea for another list would be "longest streaks with harder than 5x5-cubes". Making two 6x6 in a row isn't that easy.

Wow @Jacck that's huge! Congratulations!

Roman, could you add a new ranking, please? :D

I don't think a ranking is an appropriate thing for this, as gigaminx is an unusual and non-cubic puzzle and nobody will try it ever except for a few people in the world. But this thing definitely deserves an acknowledgment, so I am finally making an additional ranking here for other puzzles/relays. Gigaminx BLD will be somewhere on top :D Congrats once again!
 
@Roman: Thanx a lot, but I think, that a Gigaminx is only a bit harder than a 8x8x8 (especially for my method of memoing and executing). So maybe there'll be others. And I just thought, you add the Gigaminx after the Megaminx. There is already one ranking with only one entry and I don't think, that anyone else than you will ever have a success with the 9x9x9:D

@bobthegiraffemonkey: Thanks - and I wouldn't mind, if you would try the Gigaminx ;)

@obelisk477: What do you mean by "Brest?"
