A year ago or so I started working on 3x3 BLD and thought that I would never be able to do it. I picked up my cube a couple days ago and though I would give it another shot! I achieved my first 3x3 BLD solve today!!!

Awesome :tu, always good to see people get their first success.

41.13 3bld, 1 edge solved, and one corner was permuted. Nothing really easy, it's just the cycles were really easy to visualise for corners, and edge memo was fast. Also, the CO was pi on top, and U on bottom. 17s memo.

Also, I did a 6:50 4bld DNF, off by 2 centers, and 3 corners. I cycled the corners the wrong way, and I shot to the wrong spot when I had to swap 2 centers at the end.

Wow! I didn't know you were this good! Is that your fastest attempt? If not what is your PB and what are the splits?

Tel Aviv student joins Rubik's Cube tournament 2003
By LAUREN KRUGEL
CJN Intern
Dror Vomberg was not even a twinkle in his mother's eye during the Rubik's Cube craze of the early '80s.
Nonetheless, the 20-year-old can solve the puzzle in under three minutes. Blindfolded.
Vomberg, who studies math at Tel Aviv University, was one of hundreds of "cubists" who attended the World Rubik's Games Championships at the Ontario Science Centre Aug. Vomberg has been an avid cubist since he was a child, but it wasn't until he was 15 that he learned how to solve the cube blindfolded.
He once saw a man doing the puzzle behind his back and was inspired to try it himself.
"I thought this guy has to have extraordinary vision or something," he said. "I thought I'd try it."

56.41, 58.11, DNF(53.62), 52.96, 1:13.60 = 1:02.71
The 53 could have been a success, had I remembered to do a U perm on the L face

I have started actually trying to do blind agian. I want to get a successful sub-3 doing only the edges. I did 9 of them in a bit over 3 minutes. Getting closer! I still doubt I will enter blind at MCD, after my terrible failure at MWO.

Hey guys, long time no see!

I have recently done 5 MBLD in the past 3 days, here is a report:

Day1:
2/6 MBLD, many flips and twists and forgotten images/misread images
1/6 MBLD, same as above. Some days memo just does not stick to my brain

Day2:
5/6 MBLD, crazy. Was sitting with Morten at a cafe and getting really good BLD times, so I thought why not try multi? Memoed all cubes once, refreshed once and went for it. The first cube had 2corner twists and 2 edge flips, visual memo,,,, Have to stop with that on multi lol.

Day3:
Don´t have too much time today, so I am only going for small MBLD.
2/4 MBLD in 26minutes, crazy. Was listening to crazy funky music all the time so was not really paying attention.
3/3 MBLD YESSS in 12min56seconds, personal best by 3 min! This was just insane. I know it can be alot faster.
