blindfold fridrich? :)

[badmephisto]

I was looking at a cube earlier, and I was trying to figure out exactly how far i could plan out fridrich solve. I planned out entire cross and 3 F2L pairs (but got the 3rd wrong in the actual solve). It also took me about 1 hour. Basically I just kept a track of all the moves I was doing, and then for each piece that I was interested in, I went through the entire list and traced its position... I was thinking that maybe its possible to memorize the entire Cross + F2L, and then maybe even OLL and PLL? How far fetched does this sound?

Also, after that I resigned to just counting the minimum amount of "looks" i needed to solve the entire cube, and my best was 4. I wonder exactly how good that is - can anyone do it in 3?


EDIT: ok i'm sorry for posting this... it just didn't at all occur me that this was possible. I'm still in a state of denial

UMM. This is called Speed BLD. Lucas Garron can memorise in about 10 mins.

mátyás kuti once did that in #rubiks, he memorized in about 5 minutes. but i think he used a roux-fridrich hybrid or something like that.

wow i was expecting you guys to laugh at me for even suggesting that. Now that is quite impressive

I made a video of one. I'm not as fast as most others who do this, I've only tried a few times.

thats very nice... how did you do it? just regular way as i did, tracing the pieces and memorizing the sequences? Now that i know its possible ill try extra hard to get one myself

How is it possible to not find this (except if you don't search)?
