Blindsolving Discussion and Help

Yeah, it will appear as something like this.

That's great. There's no way I'm getting more than one solve in the 12 minutes allowed. Thanks.

Nooby question: what exactly is RealManBLD? Is it when the scrambling is counted as part of the total time?

Yup. I think so.

Hello, I am new on the forum, and beginner for BLD. I have not yet got a success. I use OP/OP.

For flipped edges, at the end of the solve, is it possible for me to just use the M2 edge-flipper, as it seems very fast?

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

Unless I'm missing the rule is it legal to intentionally twist corners? I was working on blind yesterday and one of my solves could have been solved more easily by just twisting a couple corners.

Also, I fail every attempt. I think I'm too concerned with speed

Yes. Of course.

No, it's illegal. Spend more time on memorisation and don't rush until you start to get faster.

Guys I need Help!

During solving Edges
If the Target is Q or BU and it is an Even target so the M Slice is off by M2, This means that the target becomes K or FD. What should I do now?

Also if the Target keep on becoming A or UB like when A or UB and U or DF are swapped because i do Edges First. What should I do in such case?

Thanks in Advance!

The BU/UB edge doesn't follow this rule. Even if it's an even target and the slice is off by an M2, it stays in the same place, so if your target was BU then you'd still execute it as BU.

Also if the Target keep on becoming A or UB like when A or UB and U or DF are swapped because i do Edges First. What should I do in such case?

I'm not too sure what you mean by this, but if you mean parity, then I think the normal alg is something like [D' L2 D: M2] after solving your edges (but before corners).

 

[Pranav Sindura]

Thanks Man! That Helped me. And I figured that it was Parity and You were Correct!

Thanks Again.

I asked this in the Random Blindsolving thread but there's been no response so I'm trying here

Time to learn M2 (currently on full OP) . What's the best guide? I've only looked at Noah's 4 part guide so far.

 

[h2f]

I've learnet from Noah's tutorial and there's everything you should know for learning M2.

 

[newtonbase]

Thanks

 

[Pranav Sindura]

You can Also Try Zane's Tutorial on Youtube. I learnt from Noah though.

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

So my memo us still quite slow... Usually just under 4 minutes. I'm using classic OP and not M2 for edges.

My question is speed/time if solving classic OP compared to using M2? What do you think the limit might be with solving each method?

 

[h2f]

M2 is faster than OP and equal turbo. Maskow said, the limit with OP/OP is around 55 sec. With Turbo/OP around 30.

I just started blind solving and there are a few things that I still don't understand.
P.S. I used Zane's Tutorial

1) Parity. Why do you need it?
2) Having an edge (or a corner) in the right place but flipped/rotated. Zane's tutorial had one edge that was flipped and left it for the end of the solve, and then just flipped it and the buffer together. But what if you have more?
3) What are some pros/cons to doing edges first then corners and vica versa?
4) I had another question but I forgot it (LOL).

1) If you have an odd number of targets for edges and corners, you'll need to do parity. I don't know what method Zane teaches or what order execution, but if he teaches corners first or OP edges then you need to do the parity alg between executing edges and corners. This is because your algs for corners affect the edges, and vice versa, so if you do an odd number of swaps then your corners/edges (whichever one you haven't solved yet) will be slightly different from how you memorised them. The parity alg puts them back how you memorised them.

2) Repeat the process for all flipped edges/twisted corners. You don't need to keep track of your buffers since they'll be solved after all the other pieces are solved.

3) It makes no difference. For some method the parity algs are slightly faster, but that's not important for now. Do whatever you prefer.

4) I had another answer but I forgot it too! What a coincidence

 

[newtonbase]

1) When you do a corner alg you also swap a pair of edges and vice versa. Your next alg will swap them back but if there are an odd number of edges and an odd number of corners (they are either both odd or both even) then you are left a pair of each to fix that have not been swapped back.

Cool! Thanks guys! BLD is so awesome. I can't wait to progress in it.
