How do most people
Memo twisted corners and edges for MBLD? I'm finding that just trying to remember whats twisted and flipped doesn't work good at all.

Memo twisted corners and edges for MBLD? I'm finding that just trying to remember whats twisted and flipped doesn't work good at all.

I memo the letters of both stickers of the flipped cubie for edges. And for corners I memo the letter of the sticker that should go on U or D face and then memo the U or D sticker of that cubie, so I know which way to flip the corner...

I have an image for each edge that corresponds to one of that edge's letters. For corners I just memorize the U or D sticker. I use a room for each cube, so my twisted corner locus is right next to my corner locus, and my flipped edges go right in front of the door, so I can't leave the room without stepping on it. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, in 4BLD what commutators do you use for these cases? (UFr-UBl-DFl) ; (UFr-UBl-DBr) ; (UFr-UBl-DLb) and (UFr-UBl-DRf), any help will be much apreciated.

Since I use DFr as my buffer, I'll start each of these with x':

UFr-UBl-DFl: x' y' L' F D' r' D R2 D' r D R2 F' L y x
UFr-UBl-DBr: x' y R' F' D r' D' L2 D r D' L2 F R y' x
UFr-UBl-DLb: x' y' F D' r' D R2 D' r D R2 F' y x
UFr-UBl-DRf: x' y F' D r' D' L2 D r D' L2 F y' x

If you notice, the last two are just the first two without the extra setup move. I believe they're all optimal (they're my "BH algs", anyway), although I could be wrong.

1) r U2 l' U2 r' U2 r U2 l U2 r' U2 (Per's Special for wings)
2) x' l' U2 r U2 l U2 l' U2 r' U2 l U2 x (same as above, mirrored)
3) x' y' F' R2 U l' U' R2 U l U' F y x (a variant of Mike's alg)
4) x' y F L2 U' l' U L2 U' l U F' y' x (same remark)

1. Per special (as TMOY)
2. Per special
3. (F2) l2 U' L2 U l2 U' L2 U (F2)
4. Mirror above.

Tbh I wouldn't actually use any of these because I never remember I can use those per special algs on 4bld. Because I use DFr buffer, I'd never get 3 or 4. But I've written what I'd do now that I think about it.

I'm trying really hard to learn blind, but I just can't seem to understand it. I've already watched Zane's and Badmephisto's tutorials, are there any other good tutorials besides those?

If you don't understand after Zane's and Badmephisto's tutorials, you need to pay more attention...

But to answer your question: Eric Limeback

Of these I highly reccommend Joels written tutorial on Old Pochmann

 

[rubiksarlen]

Sorry, l'm not very familiar with the notation ; l was talking about edges

Oh, you should have stated that

 

[aronpm]

Oh, you should have stated that

He didn't need to. UFr is a wing, Ufr is a centre.

 

[Egide]

Thanks for the algorithms guys.

 

[drewsopchak]

How many people are sub wr 5bld consistently?

 

[Jakube]

Currently, I only know of one.

I`m not the only one. There are a couple of guys, who are constantly sub WR constantly. And most of them are faster than me.
For instance, there`s Zane, Aron, Marcell, Daniel, Ville, Bill, ...

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial to do this (4BLD), that assumes you know how to solve 3x3 blindfolded obviously?

Right Here. Hope it helps.

My average of 3x3x3 bld is 1:45 - 2:00 and my ultimate goal is sub-30 seconds
I found that my memo is very slow (45-60 seconds). I memorize using letter pairs and making stories with images.
I tried to memorize all cube using audio memory but it is hard.
So I came to idea to memorize edges using images and stories and corners using audio.
Does this method have a potential to achieve sub-30 (including execution) one day?
Or only audio memo rules?

Yes. I make a sentence for edges and audio for corners, and my memo is ~9 seconds. If I practised a lot I could be sub30 but I don't have any interest in solving BLD anymore

What? I thought you already are sub-30 and why are you losing interest?!

 

[aronpm]

No, I averaged around 32-33. And "why are you losing interest?"? I just don't feel like doing it any more. I tried practising and 1) it felt like a chore and 2) DNFs, no me gusta
