[Help Thread] Multi-Blind Discussion

[Berd]

I decided to put this in the MBLD thread rather than random BLD thread because I thought it fits better in this thread.

Hey can someone give examples of rooms/locations that they use for MBLD because I can't think of any good, compact rooms anymore. Unless I need to go smaller than I already do (I have 3 rooms/locations. 1st is from my room to the kitchen, 2nd is at my school's band hall, 3rd is all of the traffic lights on the way to school.) , I would have to come up with rooms. Any tips on how to either improve this, or how to add more onto it because I would like to try up to 10 cubes at once, and I just don't have 10 locations. Maybe go a route backwards so instead of having 10 rooms/locations, have 5 and just reverse it? Please help.

All my rooms are just maps from the video game Halo: Reach. I don't use any 'real' rooms.

Ok. I'll give my examples.

I do MBLD in sets of 4 cubes and always put edges of each cube in one location and corners of that same cube to next location.

So I have 6 "bigger locations" that each have room for 4 cubes so each of these "big locations" have 8 smaller locations within them.

My big locations are:
My previous apartment
Our guild room at university
My current apartment
My car
My local Pub
My aunts mobile home

And to give some examples about the different smaller locations I have I'll "open" My apartment and My car locations for you in more detail:
So My apartment:
1. As I walk in I come to the Hallway and that's my first location that I store the edges of my first cube. Usually something weird is going on with the hat rack
2. Next I open the door to the bathroom and bathroom is the second location. Corners of first cube go here.
3. Then I walk to the kitchen. edges of second cube
4. Then something is happening at the dining table next to kitchen. corners of 2nd cube
5. After that I continue to the living room and first look at the computer spot in the corner. That's location number 5.
6. Then next is the big couch in the living room
7. Then onwards to our bedroom
8. And finally I go from the bedroom to our balcony.

My car is a little different than that:
1. I look out the driver's window and see something happening. Here I usually place stuff on the parking lot that my car is usually parked.
2. Drivers seat
3. The other front seat (don't know what that's called in english... Odd-jobbers seat?)
4. Back seat
5. Then I look out of the back window. Here I also place stuff to environment that I would see from my normal parking spot.
6. Then the trunk of my car
7. Next the roof
8.And finally under the hood


You at least live somewhere so you can get many places just from there
Hope this helps

I use letter pairs and combine 3 pairs per location.

I use a room of a house I know well as a single location or a large room I split into 2.

Using this method I can fit 1 cube into 3 rooms so even in really small houses I can fit 3-4 cubes when utilising the gardens or parking spaces and door step.

You can use friends/family members houses which you know well or you could fit large MBLD attempts into a route around a school.

Well I never play any type of video games at all, so that is out of the picture.

I will try using more places in my house and try to use my house for 4 cubes. Maybe try to squeeze in 5. I live in a 2-story house so there ought to be a lot of places I can utilize.

I use letter pairs and combine 3 pairs per location.

I use a room of a house I know well as a single location or a large room I split into 2.

Using this method I can fit 1 cube into 3 rooms so even in really small houses I can fit 3-4 cubes when utilising the gardens or parking spaces and door step.

You can use friends/family members houses which you know well or you could fit large MBLD attempts into a route around a school.

Using friend's houses is actually a good idea. I never thought of that.

Thank you for helping guys! I am going to try to push myself to from 5-10 cubes in the near future. Thank you for all your help!

EDIT:I just thought of random places that I know well and could incorporate into my solves, and I just came up with 15 locations, and I'm sure that there can be more, which can fit around 20-30 cubes. I will try using them in my next 10 cube MBLD attempt.

Sub hour tho! Shouldn't you do 17 so you have 4 packs of 4 and a 3bld? ((4x4)+1)

Hmm I usually do packs of 6. This last attempt was like ((2+6+6)+2) doing these last 2 as a 2/2 mbld. But I don't really care that much about these packs
The reason I'm attempting 16 is that the NR is 13, so I need 14 points in my next comp, which I believe is easier to be achieved with a 15/16 than a 14/14. Not too sure about this tho... Maybe I'll change my mind and attempt 14...

22/25 58:38.17[31:47.55]

So I can sub-1 it. The DNFs were quite sad really.

2-flip, 4 edges/corners because of 1 move, and a single corner twist. I felt the corner twist, but I was only 50% sure it happened, and I couldn't tell which corner it was by the time I finished the alg.

Nice! Tighten those cubes! My guanlongs have no chance of popping or corner twisting cause they're so tight.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Awesome! Very well done

Thanks! Still lots of room for improvement on execution.

Maybe if I find a screwdriver that fits. It's pretty rare though. That's the first time it's happened during bld at least.

YEEEEES
1. 13:13.95
1) F B' D' R2 B' U2 B' U L' F D2 F' L2 F D2 B' D2 F2 U2 R2
2) F2 B2 L U2 B' U' F2 D' F R2 U2 D F2 R2 U2 B2 L2 U B2 U

Finally 2/2 success.

Second scramble was hell though

 

[CyanSandwich]

Eek, 22/25 for the 4th time in a row.

57:07.65[32:31.32]

But hey I got sub-60 execution per cube.

 

[the super cuber]

Official Multi blind NR again, 18/20 in 56:20. beats my previous NR by 20 seconds.

The DNFs were because of 1 extra move done in edges and one cube by 3 corners (I think memo mistake)

Even if one more cube was solved it would have been Asr

my next Mbld is at world championship

Nice. Good luck for Worlds, gogo podium MBLD

 

[Berd]

Gj to both of you! I might go for a 15 cube mbld today!

 

[tseitsei]

I'll try 25 cubes today for the first time. Quite sure it won't be sub-hour but I want to see how much faster do I need to be...

GJ! Pls try 4BLD or 3/4 MBLD soon! Remember: you have half an hour for 3 cubes

I sort of learnt the method for 4BLD already, but I'm holding that off till I can comfortable get 3 or 4 MBLD done in a reasonable time.

 

[tseitsei]

Result 21/25 @ 1:02:43

2 DNF was "normal" 2 twisted corners because memoed wrong sticker of right piece and just forgot corner memo of one cube.

Other 2 were stupid. I bumped 1 cube so that it did y rotation and one was a complete mess (must have been some horrible execution mistake. I rarely get execution mistakes during mbld...)

Time was kind of what I expected. I did everything as fast as I comfortably could. Next time I need to do things uncomfortably fast
