Mats, that's a great time. Congrats :)

I did that scramble too and I got 4:44.28, ~2:00 memo so I guess ~2:40 execution. Nice scramble. (I also did 4:00.02 DNF for the second scramble, off by 8 centers and 10 wings, with 1:30 memo. I probably scrambled wrong.)

I just tried it too. I thought it was not an easy scramble - easily the hardest of the three this week (but then, that wasn't hard to do, since the other two were quite easy). 8:38.45. I wonder if you guys oriented it differently from me - it wasn't exactly a bad scramble, but I didn't like it at all. (I got sub-7's on the other two this week.)

Mine was just x. That solved 8 centers.

EDIT: I had a corner twisted too, DFR needed to be twisted clockwise.
 
Thanks for the praise all of you. I for sure know that you won't get 27
minutes on your first official solve :), Aron.

And Mike, I now notice your new signature. I've just looked at the SQ-1
page, it seems a lot, does it not? I will at least make an attempt to learn,
I promise you that much ;). I'll go look for my SQ-1 now. Maybe I can
at least learn to do it sighted in the process...

It is a little involved, yes. One thing I've noticed is that regular big cubes BLD actually seem a little, well, boring in comparison. The intensity of having to juggle the memorization for the case with the memorization that you're creating is quite intense, and requires much more concentration than a normal big cube BLD solve. I often find my mind wandering and have to fight back into concentration, because sometimes it just seems a little too hard. Really, normal big cubes BLD seem very easy to do in comparison.

I think that if you just skim the early parts of my description and then really dig into the sample solve, it will probably make sense pretty quickly. It's really not as complicated as it seems, but it takes a lot of text to describe the lettering systems, etc. But it is really intense concentration work to actually memorize one.
 
3/3 MULTI BLIND in 21:17.84

Feeling like I can put in 3 more cubes soon... I hope. Just never get the time I need to do serious practise. Getting faster with 3BLD, using almost purely visual memo.

New 4BLD PB 4:56.64 [2:01.56] :) First sub-3 execution too. 3rd scramble of weekly comp 2010-38. It's a really nice scramble. Everyone should try it.

Nice! Two people with sub-5 4bld in the weekly comp is awesome! I beat you by 12 seconds though :p
 
3BLD:
Bought blindfold.
First solve 4:12.18 (pb). 2 edges were solved.
Second solve was 5 mins sth~ (mid 5)
Then race against my Dad doing sighted, I got 6:26 and won xD (he messed up)
Very happy with the 6:26, because the story was so hard to memo. It was almost just random words >_<
 
3x3x3 multi: 9:02.46 (5:03).
I didn't feel like doing a real multi this week, so I thought I'd see if I could stackmat 3. I think I've done it before, but it was still nice to do.

Also, Rebecca (who has been doing pretty well with edges, but struggling with corners) got a successful corners-only 3x3x3 BLD solve tonight. Hopefully tomorrow she'll start trying the whole thing again - maybe soon she'll finally get one!

:O Awesome! :D:D

Untimed I assume :P

Yes, I'm afraid so. Actually she was using a stackmat, but she got interrupted in the middle of memorizing for about ten minutes and had to put the cube down and then come back to it. I'd guess it was around 8 minutes actual memorizing/solving time. Too slow, I know, but it was her third attempt that night and she slows down as she goes (she just memorizes the letters directly, and I think it gets overwhelming to her very quickly).

"Trägen vinner" as we use to say!

But that ain't too slow? Nothing's too slow in the beginning.
 
MBLD 3/5 in 51:47.36 (41:xx.xx) first attempt on 5 cubes. Cube 3 was of by a 5cycle, guess I executed wrongly. Cube 4 was of by 3 cycle of corners and 3 cycle of edges, no Idea.

I do not feel overwhelmed, I guess I can still put in one more cube and traing with no less then 6. Used a LONG tid with memo as I was sitting in the livingroom with my whole family, lots of interruptions and smalltalk. Did not know how to go about with revising my memo. I also solve VERY slowly in MBLD for some reason, as if I am scared my cubes will pop. But they never do when I go max speed with single BLD, so maybe I should just hurry up...!

Do you guys think there is any benefit of training MBLD with less cubes then you are capable of? As for example 2-3, instead of having a challenge with 5-6?

Hope to be able to get 6/6 soon.

Is there a way to tell if you have 3bld parity without doing memo
