Dan, was that just the three cubes you're holding, or did you do the other cube and the Pyraminx as well?

I think Mike forgot to add a "" to the end of his post!!

Well, at first I was going to, but then I thought, "who knows, maybe he did?"

I think he did the DNF cube as a Pyraminx as well, but got sloppy on memorizing the tips.

If you're doing a cube as a Pyraminx, are you allowed to have a loose cube and just twist the tips directly?

Non-lucky 4x4x4 BLD: 8:40.60
Memorization time: 3:46

Wow, I can't believe how fast the memorization was! Less than 20% of pieces solved and corners officially non-lucky, so I figure it's not lucky. Given that, it was a pretty easy scramble, though, with 8 centers solved and only 2 cycles for the edges.

In case anyone wants to try it, here's the scramble:

R2 B2 F D B Rw Fw' Uw L U R' D B Fw F D2 Rw Uw' B L R2 B' Fw' R' B D U' B' D R' B2 Fw' F2 D' Uw2 U Rw' R' Fw F

It was really nice because I got a 9:20.41 right before this! 2 Stackmat solves in a row!!

Nice! That's so close to my PB. If you keep with that pace, i will have to practice again .

 

[joey]

Yay (and stuff to make it over 10 chars!)

 

[fanwuq]

High accuracy on edges only (4/5 tries) during a test. Corners I got (3/5). I like practicing 2 Look BLD. My memo is about 1 min for corners and 2 min for edges. I'm going to do this and get higher accuracy and speed until I practice true BLD. Then I'll be sub-5 with 60% accuracy hopefully. My executing sucks. Decoding letters to positions takes too long for me. Must practice more.

 

[martijn_cube]

today, i first memod the corners and solved them. then did a memo of the edges and solved then. so now i have to memo them all at once
still pure visual memo.

edit: almost did my first bls solve. forgot the Odd adge fix. so everything was solved exept the Odd-parity . but it's close.

 

[martijn_cube]

YEAH!! i did my first compleet 3x3 bld solve! around 6 min memo, total time: 9:38.56. i'm really really happy. i used M2/old pochmann.

(visual, memo the path of the stickers), i counted the edges to see that i needed to do an Odd-parity fix. And for me it was 4 cylce edges. 2 longer cycles. 1 cycle of 2 edges, and 1 flipt edge(i used a cycle to flip it.) corners was 1 long cycle. one edge and 1 corner where in place.
scramble: B' R D2 L' B R' F D L2 B' R2 F' D L2 R2 F' D' B2 F' D L R2 F2 D' L'

Yeah!

I got a success on my first BLD attepmt with m2. Time was about 5 mins. I think I'm gonna switch for good.

 

[malcolm]

1:12.88 BLD on easy but not lucky scramble.

 

[Dene]

Oh deary. I think you're getting too fast Malcolm, time to stop now!

 

[malcolm]

Not until sub-1 =)

 

[McWizzle94]

I FINALLY GOT A SUB-2 MINUTE BLD SOLVE!!!!! YEA!!!!!

Btw, the time was 1:48.37, using M2 for edges and 3-cycle for corners. YEA!!!!

 

[martijn_cube]

what was you memo time?

 

[alexc]

7/9 multi bld in 52:52 with 36:40 for memo. Both wrong cubes were off by three edges.

 

[udnab]

Just started to learn BLD 4 days ago and my first solve was about 9 mins, then a couple of DNFs, then finally my PB for BLD as of now 6 mins and 25 secs.

nwei, just learned BLD from video tutorial...

 

[martijn_cube]

wow that's really fast in 4 day's

I got a new personal best of 3:54.71 last Thursday. Before that I had a really fast(3:08) DNF that was off by two 2-cycles of edges. It was (UF UL) (UR UB) which is really insane(could have been solved with a quick Z-permutation) but it was an easy scramble so I was happy I got a sub-4 minute blindfold solve on a non-easy and non-lucky scramble with the 3:54.71 solve. My memorization is about 2 minutes now(permutation is usually memorized in 1:40 and the rest of the time is for memorizing orientation which is usually fast unless I have a hard CO to memorize) with the execution taking up the rest of the time. I try to consciously think about the next pieces I am going to solve as I am solving the current pieces that way I don't have to slow down as much to set-up the next pieces when I finish. My execution definitely needs to be faster but so does my memorization.

Oh, I have a video of my new personal best blindfold solve so I will put it up soon along with some other videos of my latest blindfold solves. Expect a Xanga post with the scramble and details later as well.

what was you memo time?

usually I don't look at the timer when I solve, because then I get pressured to go faster, then my hands start shaking, and then I get a 5 second T perm that should have been about 2 seconds....anyway back to the BLD solve. I don't remember exactly but I think the time was around 48 seconds for memo
