MultiBLD: 2/2: 13:01

50.72 corner-only bld solve. memo around 15 sec i think. But i don't know if i can use my 15 sec memo for corners for a whole cube solve. i think i need to memo it a bit longer then. But this is a nice way to learn my letter-sheme-memo.

10:24.35 BLD 3x3x3! It was my first blindfold solve after a month of trying!

^^
congrats man
I think it's quite fast for first BLD solve....Mine was 16 minutes

I'm so glad today to get sub 3 minutes. I got 2:58.34 this morning... and after practise for memo+solve (average 1:10) for corner then memo+solve edge (1:35) I try to do the whole solve together...

Memo was easy, no parity, 2 cycle for edge, 1 cycle corner with one corner solved.... And Woooow.... It's 2:12.02....

Next project, stay in sub 3 should be realistic target for the next few days...

 

[martijn_cube]

wow you're going down in times very rapidly. 2:12.02 is just amazing.
What do you think the memo times was on that? sub 1 atleast i think?

 

[VirKill]

Yea, I think it just because I work a lot on memo separately. For edge, i use person/action memo, I use every person that I know (in my office) and their habbit as the 'action'. So it's quite easy and fast to make story and really imagine it. The problem is on the corner, since the person is like 'bugs bunny' or Ronald Mc Donald, so it's kinda hard to make story and really imagine it.

I have to do double check for edge before i move to corner memo, sometimes my memory betrays me, so I forget 3-4 last target and the other time, it ends with 2 egde flipped.

Since we're in the same average now, I believe we both will get sub 3 minute average in no time.

Last accomplishment : Roughly understand the concept of 4x4x4 BLD center (Mike's Tutorial) and edge (Erik's page), then I realize I have to learn commutator first.....

yesterday l learned corner/edge cummutators/conjugate. but only for 3 cycles. if i scramble all my corners it's alot harder. most of the time it only solves 1 corner . but this is on the 3x3, i haven't tried 4x4.

 

[VirKill]

Since you already know how to use M2, I recommended to take a quick look to Eriks page...... It's amazing to see that the edge works the same as in 3x3x3 M2 method. And the corner have the same concept (we can use old pochmman) Next.... we just need to learn for centre and, BAM... we can BLD 4x4x4. Such a good plan?

You can solve at least 2 pieces at a time with 3-cycles.

yeah i'm trying this now. and i got a couple right, but i think it's alot harder then a single 3 cycle corners. if i try a scramble from the Bayer-corner list, i can solve them without any big problems. But with all corners scrambled i have difficulty seeing with corner is the correctly oriented one. i got one cycle right when i started with a setup move, then doing the comm. but i'm also doing something wrong, because some edges are in the wrong place now. but it's fun to do, a bit like the f2l.

Yes, I think it's a good plan. I was successful with r2 (Erik's approach for 4x4x4 edges) before I was ever successful with M2 - I think r2 is a little easier to see than M2. Like you say, 4x4x4 BLD is not that hard if you can already do M2 on 3x3x3.

I'm very happy about all the people doing 4x4x4 BLD these days. I'm hopeful that 4x4x4 BLD will start to become mainstream this year. It's a really fun event.

Stop caring about orientation and don't cycle pieces, cycle stickers instead.

Yeah i also noticed that it was almost the same as M2, but then just 2 times. only the M layer has some problems. but i haven't looked at erik's site for that.

mm i thought i was . well i will just keep trying.

27.42 with 9.5 memo. Scramble: F D U' L' B' F2 D' F B D' L' B U2 R2 F2 D2 B L D B F U L' R2 D2
I knew it would be easy before trying it. It's on video!

um.... wow anyone?

 

[martijn_cube]

that's pretty extreem? but the UWR was already something like that right? but still it's absurd.

Oh wow Joey, you're catching up!

I got sub-45 memo, and 2:19.21 for total time.
2nd Fastest time ever. Why are 2 of my fastest solves done with someone else's scramble? I never get easy-lucky scrambles myself.

The corners were nice for freestyle, I did do freestyle corners, but I had to think for a while. Several edges were already solved.

decided to try it as well
