32/33 Cubes MBLD in 58:20! [39:43 memo]

PB by 7 points and first sup 30 points!
Really Happy about this

the one unsolved cube was off by 3 edges, forgot to execute a letter pair

some stats:
Memo: 39:43 [1:12 per cube]
Exec: 19:37 [33.84 per cube]
Total: 58:20 [1:46 per cube]

Sub-2nd in the world, nice!

Nice!!! Seems like there are at least 3 contenders for the next MBLD WR (not counting Maskow)

Awesome attempt Shivam!

My accomplishment: 30.66 3BLD NR single, placed me first because Ollie DNFed

Awesome job! Although that is sub UK NR too, so no guarantees he would have beat you either

 

[Ordway Persyn]

5:35.611 3bld single, first one I did in a while and its a PB. I really need to get better at BLD.

Crap performances in comps + somehow 3rd on the Euros '16 3BLD psych sheet -> 3BLD rehab session:

Spoiler: First Ao12 in ages

41.27, 34.53, 40.03, (32.04), 38.86, 37.27, 40.72, 43.91, 34.59, (DNF(57.67)), 45.44, 46.39 = 40.30s

I've thought about switching to edges first, but it's going to be tough to change after 3/4 years of solving 3BLD with comms and with corners first.

Just finished my first full
Gigaminx blind
attempt:

7:35:00

video (only exe):

Memo began at 8:08 am, exe ended before 2:43 pm (execution time: 1:31,38,91). Made some pauses in the memo, e.g. for a delicious meal
I think, a good blindcuber could get the memo in less then 2 hours.

Didn't expect a success, but it's great

Seems to be only the 4th attempt in history, I could only find the 3 DNF of Mike, which are a while ago.

Wow, crazy! What method do you use for memo and execution?

 

[Jacck]

Thanks to all!

It's a slowcuber method: not optimized for speed or movecount (therefore not many algs, not thinking over the entire cube, no extraordinary intuition), but optimized for success - even if it takes longer.

The most important thing is, I guess, that I solve (normally) only one cubie at the time and bring this one to the front with D+ and D- first, so I have quite easy setups. You could solve two cubies at the time, but you would have to think more while setting up (which is upsetting a Slowcuber).

So, the memo is less color-orientated but position-orientated. With the number of the cubie I can say, how many D+ it is away from the front and which setup I have to take.

Spoiler: Memo

White is on top, green in front (it's a Shengshou).

Wings are numbered like the edges on Megaminx (my method), starting Top-Front with 1 (white-green) and counterclockwise to 5. Next "layer" starts with 6 (purple-green), then 11 (brightblue-green), 16 brightyellow-green, 21 (brightblue-brightyellow) and 26 (grey-brigthyellow).
I add a 30, if the wing has to be flipped. But when is it flipped? Not flipped is a wing, that I can bring to the target with my "easy" setup. Look at the 6: it is the lower purple-green and can be brought to the target (1) with a simple F. The setup for 36 (the up-purplegreen) would be D+ F'.
The setups for 6-10 e.g. have only a different number of D+.

T-Centers (between center and midge) with two digits: Face and position in face. White is -, green is 1, red 2 ... brightyellow is 6, brightblue is A and grey is B. Position goes from 1 to 5, so I get something like 1 (the white one in front), 23 (third on the second side, red) or B5 (fifth on bottomside).
I have a major-list, which I extended with A and B. The reason: I am bad with orientation, so I solve the 3x3x3 with orientation first, which leaves 12 edges and so I have one digit for them only.
Edit (2015-07-18): A Minx can be done with a normal major-list, too: instead of A1 to A5 you could take 01 to 05, instead of B1 to B5 you could take 6 to 10.

X-Centers same as the T-Centers.

Corners from 1 to 5 on Top, next "layer" 6 to 10, then 11 to 15 and 16-20 on bottomside. If it has to be twisted clockwise, I add 20, for counterclockwise 40. With new cycles I try to bring in the Top-Corners with the correct orientation, the other Top-corners are orientated at the end. "Orientated" corners are with white side up or grey side down or on front of the upper-face (there could be better systems, but I started that way for myself on the megaminx).

Midges: like the wings.

So there are only two-digit numbers (if you take A and B as numbers), which I memorize in pairs on routes.

Spoiler: execution

wings: buffer is 34 (yellow-white), target 1 (white-green), co-buffer 35 (purple-white)
for the first wing: L' U' L U l' U' L' U' Lw
and for the second wing the inverse
(this alg I found in the early 80s for a LBL-method for the 4x4x4 - spended all my money for the cube and had nothing left for a solution book, and the internet wasn't invented yet.)

T-Centers: buffer is 5 (near purple face), target 61 (brigthyellow near green), co-buffer is 1 (near green)
and this is an alg from this forum:
Lw' Rw f2' Lw Rw' U' Lw' Rw f2 Lw Rw' U
and the inverse.
Sometimes you would not need the U at the end, but all my setups in the upper half would mess the top-face. E.g. a front-T I would bring to 61 by Fs, till it is near the brightblue face and then DLw DRw (and the Fs mess the top-face).

X-Centers: buffer is 1 (near purple-green), target is 2 (near green-red) and I get the cubies there over the 13 (green near red-brightyellow). I shoot to the target from A2 with dr, from 24 with dr' or from B1 with dr2. E.g. A2 (brightblue near green and brightyellow): r' dr r U' r' dr' r U and the second X would be the inverse, that means starting with U'. The main thing is the U' and U. Not shure, whether I explained it right.

Corners: similar as the X-centers, e.g. setup for 7 (red-brightyellow-green): R' DR' R then the U' and back with R' DR R.
You will need a few setups there, but they are pretty intuitiv.
Orientation at the end with: (R F' R' F)*2 and I'm shure, you will guess the rest.

Midges: like T-centers, buffer is 5 (white-purple), target 16 (brightyellow-green), co-buffer is 1 (white-green)
and again an alg from this forum:
Lw' Rw F2' Lw Rw' U' Lw' Rw F2 Lw Rw' U
and the inverse. Just the same as the T-Centers, only an F instead of an f.
E.g. for 41 (green-brightblue, the left one): DL DR alg DR' DL'
or for 11 (green-brightblue, the right one): D+ DL' alg DL D-
Flipped-midges on top at the end: I bring one to 16, take the other as buffer, do the alg, flip the 16 to 46 by D- DR2 DL, do the alg' and then all back.

For all cubies (except wings): if there is a Top-cubie involved, this one will be used as target, co-target or buffer and you will save one alg.

OK, that's it: really not a lot of different algs and the Midges and T-centers are very similar.

Spoiler: Hmmmm,

perhaps it is possible to find a more coherent memo- and exe-system with my ideas. But my goal was not to get a smart method, i tried to find a method with the things I already knew, and which is working. Good luck for you all and I hope, I did not make too many mistakes.
