Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

5x5 bld solve success, virtually though, not on a real cube, I still haven't gotten around to order a V5.

I did it on Hi-Games, and I just used cube rotation moves to examine, then I didn't look at the screen and just looked at the keys (so not blindfolded, but without looking at the cube). At least now I know that I can actually do this, it's really not too hard.

I'm just nowhere near as fast as a lot other people

That's cool - congratulations!

You didn't tell us though - how fast was it?

I dot remember the exact time, but I think it was 45-50 minutes. I know I can go faster on a real cube

Today is the 17th.... or did you do this 2 days ago?

I did that 2 days ago

Congrats on the successful solve! Virtual or real cube, it's still a solve!

You officially freak me out now. That's just insane, huge congrats. I can't imagine being that comfortable with the simulator.

I'd love to see a video of you doing this, it wouldn't have to be a big cube, 3x3 would still be cool to see.

Ehm.. isn't that 28th April 2009? 'cause that hasn't been yet..

He obviously traveled back through time to the eighteenth to post his post after he had gotten his first BLD solve on the 28th.

Today have I blindfolded four times, all while walking, and managed to success on three of them! I'm sure I haven't had that good ratio on a day, and I don't think Iäve ever even done three on the same day.

BTW, I wasn't blindfolded, or eve lcosing my eyes, but I looked only forward, and not down!

For some reason i find the corners harder then edges in BLD solves...i can easily get the memo for the edges in like 30-40secs... But the corners always take at least 2-3mins... I've tried a 3 cycles approach to the cornes but cant keep track, so i have to use the T move to perm 2 at a time which is ok but slow... does anyone have any ideas for me...

I know a full OLL an PLL!!!

I actually have a quite similar problem. Edges probably take 40sec-1min and corners can take up to 1 minute! Although if the corners are easy it can take 15 seconds. I use visual memory, and with a bit of practise this should be really fast.

How do you memo?

you're welcome.

I tested the "too good scramble", and it certainly was easy. I made 3:51, whick is a 90 sec better than my previus record.

i got sub-45... i think it can barely be called a "scramble"
