seven out of eight.

what was the time?

About 30 minutes, i forgot to start my stopwatch.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

2/3 multi, and so close on the 2nd one as well. Of by a 3 cycle of edges . Ah well, i wasnt sure of the 2nd one anyway, because i forgot to do one of the letter pairs that i forgot . the time was 11:47, and when I get a 3/3, or maybe a 4/4, ill probably be bothered to start creating letter pair images and roman rooms! memo method is memo all the edges on every cube first, then "quickly" visually memoing the corners.

Weekly competition 4x4 blind, I haven't practiced in a long time. Two DNFs in a row, and I had to get the last solve, so I went extremely slow to make sure I got it right and got a sup-30 minutes. Complete failure. Hopefully next week is better.

3x3x3 single

I made my first ever fully-memorized attempt today, but finished with 2 edges incorrectly oriented

12:30 memo
5:17 solve

I'm using Macky's 3-cycle guide to learn

Don't feel bad...
I out fail you quite a bit.

I had BLD attempt number 6 today.
Failure by two edges and two corners.

Maybe I should try more than once or twice a week.

Had my first try at 5x5 BLD today. 20 min memo and 20 min execution. Two corners were twisted and a 3-cycle of middle edges had not been completed.
I made both mistakes during memo.

The fact that both mistakes were on 3x3 "parts" makes me feel that I'm going to get the next one

I Got The UNW!!!! I first got my cube 3 years ago and memorised then when on holiday and forgot about at home 3 years later or today i found it in my draw and tried to solve it ... i tried.... i failed

just like your english. lql. unless you're not from an english speaking country (but there aren't many of those, are there)

If you're criticizing others about English, use capitalization and punctuation yourself.

Hey, first time in this part of fourms. Just watched some blindfold cubing today. (byu's and badmephisto's....great videos, easy to understand)

1st attempt........failed
Later on, I just focused on working on only edges and got all the edges right a few times. I think I'll work on corners after I feel comfortable with edges.

How long did it take you guys on your first sucessful solve??

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Multi BLD Attempt -
0/2 Off by thee corners on the 1st, and two corners and two edges in the 2nd. I want my first successful BLD to be a Multi BLD...

For me maybe two weeks. "Normal" seems to be a few days up to a month or more.
Of course it depends on how much time and effort you put into it.

But doing edges first and then the corners or vice versa is a good way to handle it. And you can also simplify the learning process by analysing the solve first and write it down and solving it while looking (but using your blindfold algorithms of course). And not until you managed each part you put it all together.

I got my first success two to three days after I learned. Definitely look over corners a bit more.

I seem to be in that category...
But that may be since I'm trying to do Multi first.

I just had my first sub-2 attempt on 3x3 blind. 1:50.87, this was the solve right after my new PB of 2:13. It was a bad DNF. I must have messed up an alg somewhere, I felt like I did everything right though. argh.... sub-2 success coming soon.

 

[McWizzle94]

I tried another 4x4x4 BLD solve, and I was off because of memorization mistakes near the end. Somehow I got confused between UF and FU and then I RD and DR. Most of the cube was solved, however.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

4x4 BLD attempt at the cube meet-up, 9:18 DNF. Off by 2 centers and 3 edges. I didn't memo the edges. Feliks got the last bit of the solve on video.

 

[MatsBergsten]

4BLD

New 4BLD DNF PB I think, 13:07. Just two silly corners twisted, just because I
forgot to start with them. I hate those twisted corners, if one can hate a little cubie
(or two) Memo 6:30, exec 6:37.

(From this weeks contest, 1:st sighted 4x4). Yesterday I had another with two
centers off, that was not as fast though.

3x3 with only know old pochmann
failed....
