Better blindfolds.

[Kenneth]

Here is my sugesstion:

There are holes for the eyes but those are easy to cover and then it is really good

Seriously, a mask that covers the whole face must work fine...

But, as Daniel Hermansson, who has got a beard, pointed out at SveKub, a good blindfold must also work for people that has got a huge beard or a large mustach.

funny

But it is a good idea, if only because it covers the lower portion of the eyes. If you cheat, you can only look out the bottom of your eyelids. Therefore, a good blindfold would cover not only the eyes but possibly extend down to the cheek. Then, there would be no opportunity for cheating in BLD.

I would stop blindsolving if I got to wear that!

why not just give them a ski mask and sew something over the eyes

Diving mask, remove the glas and put a piece of stiff paper in it's place.

What is wrong with those we uses today? As long as the judge put his hand/paper over the cube, then the problem is solved (and hopefully the cube without cheating).

then why use the blindfold? if the judge is going to keep the hand/paper there all the time...

So you don't get contact with the audience.

Would you like to be the one holding the paper for a 20 minutes 5x5x5 BLD?

or a 40 cube multi attempt...

 

[Inusagi]

I guess there are no one who will try to do 40 multi bld yet.
We could problably find something to hold a paper. Something like a fishing rod... But wearing that is probably making the audience laugh, and you lose your consentration.

 

[Kenneth]

The ordinary blindfolds are equally silly, we are just used to them. Whatever we choose to use instead we will get used to in time

 

[MistArts]

Goggles will work great!

im all with better blindfolds, but id rather use a regular old blindfold that is easy to find (walmart) than something thats not as common. goggles could do, but holding a piece of paper under isnt that hard to do. youd have to stand there anyway if your judging.
