[Help Thread] Multi-Blind Discussion

Hari said:
Did a multi after a long time and managed a 12/16 in 43:12[30:03]. Satisfied considering my long break and that the DNFs were 3 cycle of edgesx1 and 3 cycle of cornersx3. Next time, I will probably take memo a tad slower. Recall felt good still, but I floundered on the 3BLD cube. And any good image for XV?? :confused:

I use Xavier from X-men. But if you've looked at the wiki you probably don't like that one.

Tbh, I didn't check that before this post :p but I already use XC as Charles Xavier. I like using X-Men for all my X letters but couldn't think of any X-men with V starting names. Ended up using Vinny Jones aka the Juggernaut from X3.

I usually visualize 15 of some other item in that room. Same for other Roman numerals.

Not good for multi, especially with larger attempts :)

If you like football then Xavi is good for XV or xavier from x-men as already said above

I'll probably go with this, thanks. Unless I find a good Xman

Doing a lot of 3bld will help with that!

Thanks for advice! I am not sure though, as I average around 1:30 and if I get some awful cases, I just memorise the letters with no image...
For short term memory it works... Maybe I'll try making a list with fixed words for these :-)

Having a good memory system is for me the most important thing
I don't use letter pairs, instead I just named every single situation
For example, from UB I have 20 colors, from UL I have 20 characters from video games, from LD I have items ...
I practise it by spelling every single word as fast as I can, and from time to time I'm updating the system if I think that some images aren't good enough.
Characteristical images = better memo

I know Maskow does the same... It seems better in some angles of view, but I think one can be as fast using letter pairs as someone using this :-)
And I don't think it's worth the work to build new system for me, when I have used letter pairs for over a year and I am familiar with the scheme. :-)
But your system is very cool, and maybe easier for the brain to recall :-)
 
I never thought i could get sub 30min. i only got it twice at home for 2/4 (sub 30 min) and at comp i pretty much nearly got my overall PB.

next goal is 2/3
 
3rd multi attempt in 3 days: 15/17 50:40[36:46]. Much better attempt compared to the last 2 although it was slower. Scrambles being tough had a bit to do with that. Skipped a room on one cube and realized it after I cast it aside :/ so it could have been easy 16/17. Next try tomorrow.

Edit: What do you guys do with your cubes after solving them? Keep them aside randomly like me or keep it in the same orientation in order, so you can pick them up later if need be?

I keep them aside randomly unless I can't recall memo. Btw nice attempt!

Why aim for anything other than 100% accuracy?

The following is just my opinion on setting goals for multibld.


I personally aim for speed and 50% accuracy.

Why not 100%? I could aim for 10/10 in 20 minutes or I could aim for 15/20 in 1 hour. Both give you the same amount of points however 15/20 well help you push your limits. I am not saying that 10/10 does not help, but you need to push yourself to do bigger attempts which will make smaller attempts feel easier!

I would only start aiming for 100% accuracy once you are starting to hit a level that you are happy with. For example, if you are constantly getting 12/20 or 15/20 in hour (just within the time limit). It would be time to focus on getting accurate.

In other words if you plan to get 5/5 before moving onto a bigger attempt, you are going to waste time (you will still be improving but slowly and inefficiently). Id suggest attempting more cubes once you get at least 3/5 (50%+ accuracy).

Just to clarify I am NOT saying to do your max every attempt! This is just about setting goals.
 
I just did my most stupid mistake ever
Somehow one of the cubes fell out of the table :(
Could have been a PB, but 17/20 57:51 is still quite ok
 
New PB 20/20 58:34 [~42]
PB by 6 points XD
I wasn't expecting it at all, i expected 2-3 DNFs and it was just my fourth attempt at 20 cubes
It looks like now i have to focus on speed :)
