Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

Thank you Now you're not the only African who can do 4BLD How many more successes would you suggest I get before moving onto 5BLD?

I started doing 6BLD and 7BLD at the same time (when the V-Cube 6 and 7 first came out), and got my first successful 7BLD several weeks before my first successful 6BLD. (Due to luck - really good luck with 7, bad luck with 6.) So no reason why you can't start whenever you want, or go in whatever order you want.

And congratulations!

Okay thanks, I think I might go for 2 or 3 more successes before moving on. It is a shame :/ But hopefully there will be big cubes bld at Guildford and I can try then. Plus I'm not sure how realistic it is that I'd get a success at a competition so soon after getting my first success. Now you go for 5bld wr!

Aye, but don't be too pessimistic! I was surprised that I got a 4BLD success on my second solve ever in comp, the adrenaline helps! But no WR for a while, haven't picked up the 5x5x5 for a week or two. 3BLD NR is probably more important atm

Thanks for the advice I guess I'll just give it a go whenever I have time.

Not pessimistic, realistic, there is a difference But I will practice 4BLD and focus on accuracy rather than speed. Ahh of course, what are you, half a second slower than the 3bld NR? Although as soon as Marcell gets a sub-6 official 5bld things will become very difficult for people wanting to get wrs. Good luck with your blindfold shenanigans all the same
