Blindfold Champ... The irony.

[TimeFreeze]

I was looking at Dan's sub-4 7x7 solve, so I just went to WCA to check if Nakajima still had the single record. While I was looking through the records, I saw that the record for Blind 3x3 is 35.XX (I'm not sure, I forgot how many, and am too lazy to check) seconds. So I checked the guy's profile, and it's ironic how his regular 3x3 is 41.xx, yet his blindfold record is 35.xx.... Strange, right? And this guy, when I looked at his records, seems to have always had his blind solves around the same time as his regular solves.

If you wanna see his profile, it's here.

From the number of DNF's he has on regular 3x3x3 it seems like he does it too "BLD-style" meaning he seems to use his BLD method for solving the cube normally

From the post where his WR was announced

Hi:I am Hai Yan zhuang from china. It is very nice to have so many friends here!
May be everybody here are confused with my 3*3 speed grade, why there are so many DNF. Because I use Blind method take part in the speed competition. I am very nervous during the competition. I can not stop my hand trembling. I have to give me more chance to make me do not so nervous. So I use Blind method take part in the speed competition. Everybody in china like me use this method. They give applause for me. They do not care if I waste time.

I swear to god this has to be the 50th time it's been brought up. There should be some sort of message on his profile explaining this.

I noticed this too, and didn't understand it, idk why this would happen, lol maybe he should use his blind solving method normally.

There is no need to talk about this any more. Seriously, the search function is there for a reason. USE IT BEFORE MAKING A THREAD.
