I haven't been able to find a place where rankings for delayed blind solves are kept so I figured I would make one here :)

The way that I'm ranking these is similar to mbld but instead of points, we are using delayf time, and instead of time we are using the total time to memorize and execute the cube. So whoever has the greatest delay time is first and for tie breakers fo those who have the same delay time will be total memorization and execution time.

I wanted to do this but I'm afraid that I change my letter pairs between start and end and that that could mess everything up..
I've actually gone and did this by the way. Memorized on 30 June 2020, plan to attempt to solve on 1 January 2021. Will post the final video of both parts here if I succeed.

When I did my year delay I had changed methods from OP to M2 so a week before the execution part of the solve I started practicing with OP again to reduce the risk of errors. I'd recommend doing something similar for your sitution

I'm going to try a small attempt to start. I started today (November 18, 2020) at 9 PM Central Time. I am only going to try 24 hours for now, and maybe I'll do a bigger attempt in the future. The memo time was 8:30.12, and I am from the United States. Let's hope I can do it!

EDIT: It was a pretty easy scramble, and the memo is sticking with me very well, so I’m going to try to up the delay time to a week. (Execution on Wednesday, November 25 at 9 PM Central Time)

EDIT 2: I’m going to extend the attempt to 10 days (Saturday, November 28), just to get up to 3rd place. ;)

Luckily I'm still using 3 style and made no changes to my letter pairs yet, so I'm good to go :)

Great, can't wait to see your result!



I was talking with Andrew Nathanson, seems like he and I this year will do another year delay as well as someone named Aaron Soley who joined the Twitter thread but keeping our memo time a secret until it's time for execution so there will be some suspense as to who will get the best time. Anyone else wanna join in on this? Could be fun to suddenly next year have lots more solves ranked!

I forgot to post about it, but I ended up DNFing by a lot. It was something like 6E and 4C off.

I have completed my 6 month delayed 3bld.
It was a fun challenge, I would recommend.
Started my 2 year delayed 3bld yesterday. Memo was pretty nice and the images are going to stick better than the previous attempt's because of it.
Time: 1:59.43[1:21.60]
Exec: 37.83
Gj. I haven’t practiced blind in like a year so now that I’m working on it I don’t seem to be able to get a success. Once I do get some consistent success I think I might try something like a month or so.
