Funny thing that happened yesterday.

This is probably my best solve so far, splits-wise. The memo is certainly a PB but the real catch was execution.

It had 3 comms I know. Two of which I did without thinking much (albeit playing safe) and one other which I was slow at and had a 2~ seconds pause. And even so I was this close to breaking my PB single.

I can only imagine what it will be like when I'm fluent at more comms, with improved execution and hopefully without many pauses, if any at all (like I already do with M2 and the OP portion of corners, which is still huge). This solve was great motivation.

@Underwatercuber, come to the 3Style side

I shall start learning 3style today.

Holy balls.

Got three sub 60s today!

First had a close call, with 55.88 [19. 32]. Then I broke my PB single with a 50.72 [15.78] and a few solves layer got a 53.59 [15.85].

Was having a pretty bad day, messing up execution and forgetting comms a lot but I take it back. Great day for 3BLD!

I got my first success with M2 edges with this scramble

I've just smashed my 4bld pb. The old one was 8:38.xx and now it is 5:51.56.

 

[Fábio De'Rose]

Memo PB! If not by a slight pause, it could've been overall PB as well. Still, pretty thrilled.

5/5 Multi-Blind in 25:33.37 [18.58.91]

 

[SirWaffle]

So finally achieved a 3bld sucess while memoing in French. I've tried this just twice before and have sorta suceeded in the past but ended up having to use proper nouns to get around some tricky pairs, (typically I'd just become too annoyed thinking of words beginning with certain letters and just use something like an actor or a Pokémon to fill in the blank) but this time I finally managed to have the patience to do a solve without that. The time was slow, 5:13.36, but the point was to ensure it was completely french which is what I did.

Has anyone else played around with using multiple languages in their blind solving?

I think I remember István Kocza telling me that he used a mix of languages (Hungarian/English?) when blindsolving megaminx, so he could have letter pair images for each possible pairing of 30 characters. That would help immensely with megaminx BLD.

 

[sigalig]

Eyyyyyy 27.61 on a 10/8 scramble. Considering that my PB is still 26.80 on a 7/7, this feels pretty nice

I need to think of a way that french or a second langauge could help megaminx blind now. Really using a story only method (or not using that many images) the second half of the megaminx could be in the second langauge just by simply mixing the two. I am gonna play around with this a bit and see, I think this may actually be they key to me finally doing a megablind. Do you know where he may have put more info about this?

 

[Mike Hughey]

Do you know where he may have put more info about this?

I didn't think I'd find it, but I found it:
Blindfold Accomplishment Thread

As I recall, at Worlds 2013 I understood him to mean that he has images for each possible pairing of those 60 characters.

Blindfold Accomplishment Thread

Thanks so much for finding it!

Right now my idea is to letter the mega a-z twice (using 1-4 to fill i the last 4 pieces and then words for these numbers) and then if i get a piece from the upper half to use english and if i get one from the lower half to use french. and ofc two from the same half use a word for both. I am finding so far that although i need to get used to this lettering system i can at least quickly idenifty whether it belongs on top or bottom (only cause i know the mega color scheme by heart). I am finding so far that this method can work (for edges at least that is what i am trying it on). Just to give an idea this is what a memo looks like with what i am doing atm.

I'A T'2 B'V' Y'W' DE IU' R'B X'G' O'V T
un Insect Ate des Tailles to(2) etre BraVo pour Y aller. Wario is DEad in un URus Boat. XérophaGie Ouvre a VeT.

english : An insect ate some thighs to be great for going to that place. Wario is dead in a buffalo boat. Bread opening a vet.

(it's not a complete memo of the egdes just an example until i got to a cycle break) I dont know it seems viable to me if i can work on recollection of french words a bit more since it is my second langauge, and as a slight get around in this case i will asign proper nouns to the french half only just to need less words.

edit: maybe we should make a thread for this convo so we dont clog the accomplishlent thread?
