Finally solved a 2x2 BLD Using pochmann. First ever BLD solve.

It is often easier and faster to do a 2x2 blind solve with guesstega(ortega with some educated guessing).

Whats that??? I know ortega is a method, but how would that even work?

To use Ortega for 2x2 BLD, you'll need to trace the pieces after each turn in your head, as if you were doing a regular speed solve.
Congratulations on the BLD solve!

My accomplishment: 29.58, 43.20, (48.67), 37.78, (29.10) = 36.85
Yay, counting sub-30 in an avg5. The first one had 12 edge targets and 6 corners, the last one was a "pwn" scramble with 10 edge targets and 6 corner targets.

On the other hand Old Pochmann on a 2x2 is a real step towards solving a 3x3 bld, while "guesstega" is not.
(I'm just envious because I can't do speedbld ). Anyway congratulations to jla and PandaCuber!

Yep, if you're planning to upgrade your BLD to larger cubes, you really need a true BLD method. Speedblind is juste a dead end.

Back on topic: I won the BLD event at Spols Open with a safety solve

Have you really never tried speedBLD? You really should. I know your "speed" solve is likely to be close to a minute (and therefore no faster than a regular BLD execution for you), but it's a fun thing to try, and it's really more a matter of willpower than expertise. You just need to decide to put in the time and effort to do it (figure on over an hour to memorize on your first try - you might be able to go faster, but it's probably better to be prepared for the worst), and then track the pieces in your head step by step and remember them.

Even with:
- Memo mistake
- 2 big pauses
- newish memo method
- first real solve with 3style corners
- forgetting about parity

...Still got sub 3. Lol pwn scramble.

Next I'm going to try for 2/2 Multi. Wish me luck!

It's not like it is hard to learn and get the hang of. I use it even though I am doing 3 blind. I havent gotten a success but I have gotten fairly close.

Finally managed to get a sub-40 3BLD avg12.

33.37, 35.05, 45.93, 37.77, 39.63, 34.74, 30.92, 36.22, (DNF), (30.28), 44.01, 40.42 = 37.80

Congrats Zane.

I agree with faster, but not easier.

Congratulations, sub-40 by a lot. Good luck on Saturday.

Wow gratz aron , another sub 25 solve since 22.92?

Thanks. I've had other sub25s since the 22.92 I think, and the next solve after that 21.92 was 24.37 (the average was (DNF(35.98)), (21.92), 24.37, 34.94, 31.13 = 30.15 )
