Multi: 2/2 in 6:38.07, new PB

 

[Yes We Can!]

1:19.28 BLD success
First good time in AGES ^^

EDIT: I will soon get a Haiyan Memory Cube and then I'll practice until I get sub-1

Multiple blindfolded: 7/7 = 7 points, in 26:21.81. Memo was 17:08. Very happy.

Wow.

That's really fast! Well done! What memo method do you use?

 

[aronpm]

Just image pairs and routes.

You have full letter pairs...that's quite a lot of work to learn! Great work...I still use silly made-up sentences

 

[Zane_C]

I wanna do big multi BLD, but I don't think my method is anywhere near good enough. The most I've attempted was 3 and this was my approach.
Silly made up sentences for cube 1, visual corners and wierd sentences again for cube 2 and for cube 3 I used visual. But this should be half decent for just 3 cubes right?

Just use more silly sentences. Place them in a room or on a route, and you can make them stick for a long time. Remember the more cubes you do, the longer you have to memo anyway. I did 8 the other day - 5 with silly sentences, 2 with numbers and 1 visual

Well, I don't have a full list of images. I make most images up during the solves. Some pairs are hard to make on the spot, though.

@Kinch2002: You mean a pre memorised route or I make it up as I go along?

@Kinch2002: You mean a pre memorised route or I make it up as I go along?

A prememorized route works well, but hey, if you make one up as you go along, then the next time you can just use that same route, and it's prememorized! It's easy to make up new routes, for that reason. By the fourth or fifth time you use it, it's as solid as anything else you may have worked to create.

Thanks, btw Kinch congratz on your 8 cubes.

I agree with Mike. When I did my big multi I just made up my route as I went along (just wandering from my house and around town and stuff). Now I'll probably use that same route with the same stops forever.

What memo and execution methods do you use normally? And when's your next comp?

EDIT: Video of 6:27.78 4bld is now on my yt channel

This is very good. What if you try 14 cubes?

Edit: MultiBLD is becoming competitive

 

[MatsBergsten]

MultiBLD attempt today was 7 cubes (did 5 cubes for the first time yesterday).
7/7 44:21.42 [30:13.32] (PB of course)

Wow and congratulations. Doesn't look like my 7/8 this week will get
me nowhere

 

[Feryll]

Just set a nice PB on a slightly bigger cube: 6:52.98 [2:43.32]. First sub-3 memo - doing 5bld and multiBLD has clearly helped my 4bld speed I always work better at bigcube and multi after midnight

You clearly turn into a beast after midnight.

Finally I've got an avg of 5, not the best times but I'm glad I've managed to work up my success.

Avg5 = 2:30.20:
2:17.53, 2:03.51, DNF(2:41.68), 2:19.38, 2:53.69

I made sure to be extra careful on the last one
