Berkeley Fall 2010

I have an idea for a Mystery Event which I think is pretty cool.

It's called Super Team BLD.

Basically it's like Team BLD but you have to also lead your partner around the venue. So for example, up the staircase, around the back, and down the other staircase, back on stage and the cube has to be solved before you put it down.

The challenge here would be taking/giving directions for both solving the cube and walking around the venue blindfolded.

A team could also choose to do their solve first, then do the BLD Walk, or vice versa.

What do you all think?
 
You'd probably have to be very careful about this. For example, I feel like stairs might be a bit dangerous.

In my 8th grade French class the teacher did this activity where we led a blindfolded partner around campus giving directions in French. A few of us walked into rosebushes.
 
The SuperTeamBLD idea is weird, but funny. xD
We should have a live stream going of all participating teams. It'd be quite lol.

What I thought would be interesting is having a double BLD, a judged team BLD event.
What this would mean is that the caller would start the timer, memo the cube, and put his/her blindfold on. Meanwhile, the solver would be blindfolded, holding the cube, rotating it to allow the caller to memo.
Both the caller and the solver are blindfolded, now, and the caller has memo'd the cube.
Now the caller calls and the solver solves, straight from the memo.

It's funny because if the caller used freestyle and the solver used OP, lol.

So few people would be able to memo, then call from their memo, let alone get it right that it wouldn't be workable. The cool thing about team bld is that neither person needs BLD experience. The caller could yell out the moves if he needed too.
 
I'll be there, hopefully with some people from my school's cube club, which I am working on starting.

Oh.
 
Double Team BLD sounds like both people have to memorize a different cube, then hand it to their partner and call the solve while their partner calls the solve for the cube in their hand.

That would be very impressive! And yet it seems doable, and actually pretty fun. If you called 2 pieces at a time, one person could call the next 2 pieces to solve, then the other person, then both could solve those 2 pieces. It would really be quite doable.

@Chris Hardwick (if you happen to read this): We need to try this on a big cube the next time we meet!
 
Depending on time, we'll see what we can do.

I actually have something I'd like to do as a mystery puzzle that shouldn't take more than a minute, so we might just do that if we're low on time.
 
Chris Bird: How many stackmats can you bring? If there are enough scramblers/few enough competitors, I might be willing to let you run 6x6 on the side (possibly in another room).
 
lol you could also try this weird 3 person team BLD that keemy, justin and I did.

One person is blindfolded with a scrambled cube, the next person looks at that scrambled cube and has a cube in their own hand, but can't say anything. The third person can only look at the second person's cube. The second person has to make a move on his/her cube and the third person has to call out the move that the second person makes so that the first can make it. The object is to solve the first cube.

I have 2 large mats and 1 small mat.

I have 3 timers total (2 of which will be getting new batteries shortly)

I can bring all of these for 6x6 and 7x7 if you would like me too. It also seems that Ranzha and a few others are willing to help me scramble so it all points to do-able.

Just let me know if it'll work out.
