BLD games?

[joey]

We (joey, daniel and ville), did a team-ish 4x4 BLD.
Ville memoed centres, daniel edges, joey corners (yay, i get the easier part; suckers!)
Then we solved it Around 6 mins memo, and 11:15.80 total (3 people, 3 smilies) joey's first 4x4 bld

Wow, real nice. If there had been the case of 2 edges needing swapping and 2 corners needing swapping (a 3x3 style parity), would Daniel swap the 2 edges, and Joey swap the 2 corners? On a 4x4 I guess they can be done separately, although not as efficient as both in one PLL.

How about one person has the blindfold on, and the other isn't allowed to talk or touch the cube?

 

[joey]

They did that at the US nationals! I had no-idea how they solved it!

The "caller" was allowed to touch the "solver". Two techniques I remember was virtually moving the solver's fingers, another was to write the name of the PLL alg on the solver's back.

Another variant I did with Ian was regular team blindsolving, except the caller wasn't allowed to see the solver's cube. The caller had his own cube scrambled the same way.
