Blindsolving Discussion and Help

Hahaha ok I'll try with my feet. No jk but I'll try that "finger scheme" you use.

I meant repositioning your feet on the ground, not touching the center pieces with them, in case that wasn't clear. I found it helped with the awkwardness of holding at first, but as you get faster it's easier to just remember, I think.

That's actually one really nice idea. I'll actually try it XD
Thanks!

Is there a comm that solves twisted corners at DBL and DBR?

[R' U R U' R' U R, D']

i don't use it tho cuz i'm too lazy to learn it

Hi, I just learned blind a couple weeks ago and I don't really understand how the multi-blind points work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The number of cubes u solve minus the number of cubes u didnt

basically number of cubes you solve minus number of cubes you do not solve
score has to be more than half the cubes solved
shorter time is a decider

Also does anyone know why the scoring works like this? In other memory sports it is just how many items you memorise right. How is 19/20 worse than 19/19?

It's so you can't get an advantage by discarding harder scrambles. 15/20 could mean you submitted 20 cubes then intentionally set aside 5 scrambles you didn't like. 15/15 means you solved even the hard ones so it's fair that it is scored higher.

ah i see, its a good solution

And does points always win over time? Meaning 10/10 in 59:59 beats 9/10 in 23:00?

Yes

Do fast people use the journey method or rooms for 4 and 5BLD? or is it just for multi?

I currently just memo normally using images/audio.

I currently just memo normally using images/audio.

For 5BLD I memorize wings, midges, and corners in locations, but the locations are just directions relative to me and I don't visualize them very much. I memorize wings in 3 groups that are in front of me, above me, and behind me, I memorize midges to the left of me, and corners to the right.

cool! I'll try that

but how do you remember anything if you don't visualize the images?

I use rooms. Wings and midges in room 1, Centers in room 2 with audio corners. I use journey even for 3bld, it's just a short journey given it's about 4 letter pairs.

How do you use images for 5bld without the journey/rooms method? Just wondering.

I'm not very good at visualizing images (a lot of my letter pairs don't even mean anything...) but it just helps to associate the sentences with a location to remember them

It's kind of like remembering a sentence that happens in a certain location but without visualizing it happening

I just memo pictures for each piece type and link them together somehow

and i also specifically remember the first letter of my memo for midges, wings, and corners to help me get started when i do execution

It's kind of like remembering a sentence that happens in a certain location but without visualizing it happening

ok cool. I guess I'll try sentences with locations then

I'm not fast, but here's my $0.02 anyway... I use rooms for BigBLD not just because it helps me remember, but because I can change rooms on each attempt to avoid mixing up memo during a session. I have enough rooms used for MBLD that I can go a whole BigBLD session without recycling.

Does anybody know a stable cube for blind that won't undershoot or overshoot when performing an alg.
