Blindsolving Discussion and Help

Use this thread for short BLD questions.

(I was looking for it but did not see one, if there is? please let me know and I merge).

Well, my question, [wiki]TuRBo[/wiki], is it only a edge method or did anyone develop the same for corners?

(I'm looking at it atm, this is why I'm asking)

TuRBo is also a corner method, it's just not very good nor popular.

Is the problem recognition? (setting up is at the most 2 moves, alg is at the most 10 moves optimal so it can't be that).

If one is willing to go to the effort to learn the cases and build up a skill with recognition, you may as well just learn BH.

How many algs are there for M2?

Depends how many you want to use. You'll need M U2 M U2 and U2 M' U2 M' for shooting to DB and UF but they don't really count as 'algs' Apart from that you can choose to either learn 3 extra algs for M-slice edges when they're flipped wrong or you can just flip them all at the end with a pure-flip. Plus there's U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U for parity but that's another really simple one

I think Kai uses TuRBo corners.

I think Kai uses TuRBo corners.

If this is true, my previous post was a mistake as Kai is very fast.

Ok, Thank's. I know all algs from speedsolving, recognition then... =) =) =)

@Eric, true, it was spelling amnesia

I want to learn BLD.
Which website/youtube video offers the most popular tutorial?

 

[Cubenovice]

Old Pochmann: use the following resources

Badmephisto for video (method, do not use his memo system)
Joel van Noorts written tutorial
Memo method thread for the various types of memo

I'd recommend watching Badmephisto's Old Pochmann tutorial first. He teaches a really easy to understand method that can get you started quickly. However, his memorisation approach is not very good for most people.
You can also try Eric Limeback's tutorial which teaches the same method for corners and the faster but slightly more confusing M2 method for edges. He also teaches (in my opinion) a much better memo method.

Hope this helped, have fun learning

I think Kai uses TuRBo corners.

Ya 'cept his is extended to use DFR corner and maybe a couple of other targets too, not just U layer. Looks fazt.

Cool thread bro!

Question, what's the UWR for Megaminx BLD?

 

[mati rubik]

How can I forget my multiblind memo?

 

[Cubenovice]

Vast amounts of alcohol...

Question, what's the UWR for Megaminx BLD?

I don't think anyone knows. Rumor has it that Chris Brownlee has done it in under 15 minutes, but he has never confirmed it with an announcement of an actual time, that I know of.

 

[RyanReese09]

If I want faster edges instead of M2, should I branch out to Turbo and THEN BH or just go straight into BH.

Which is harder, BH edges or corners?

 

[mati rubik]

Vast amounts of alcohol...

are you serious? I'll attempt 4 cubes again and I really need to forget the last one

 

[RyanReese09]

How long ago was your other attempt?

Try to make more rooms, switch between the rooms, I do that for regular BLD and since I'm concentrating on one rooom, I tend to forget the other.

I realize it's different for multi since the information is being forced in there for longer periods of time, but yeah.

 

[Kian]

i remember multi edges for days afterwards sometimes without wanting to. i just try to drill it into my brain so much that it won't go away. not sure how to get rid of it other than time. I've never tried more than one multi attempt in a day, though, so i've never really considered it much of a problem.
