3/3 MBLD in 9:45.20! This accuracy is boosting my confidence with my new method.

3rd 29-cube attempt: 20/29 in 1:06:31. Really bad, memo couldn't stick well (like my previous attempts). Wasted like 5 minutes recalling a cube. Most of them were execution mistakes, I think I solved some cubes in the wrong order as well. All by 29 attempts have been horrible so far

10/10... But in 1:01... FML

I forgot some cubes and spent too much time thinking about them instead of moving on and coming back later.

How does one get faster at memo, I take like 43-44 mins for 10 cubes

13/13 MBLD in 45min 42.64s

Attempt felt a little bad because:
A) I spent quite a bit of time on edges audio memo (for 1st cube)
B) I paused quite a fair bit on the last cube

But still PB for 13 cubes and I was pushing to get a 43-44min time

11/11 MBLD in 54:04.65!


Yay! Got it on my first try at 11 cubes too. Still need to work on speeding up my memorization for bigger attempts though.

I've been working on my MBLD memo recently too, and I've found a couple things that have helped me memorize faster

1. Becoming super familiar with my letter pair images - When I do a multiblind attempt, I usually take time to write down my memorization afterwards. Then I look at which letter pairs I had difficulty coming up with a strong image for, and figure out a good image I could use for that case next time. I've found this helps because I can now spend less time time creating the image during memo, and more time cementing it in my head.

2. Do some 3BLD solves beforehand - Usually before I do a Multi attempt, I prep by doing some regular 3BLD solves. It helps me get in the mentality of memorizing fast.

Your 11/11 is 2 minutes faster than your 10/10...

Yeah... my memo on the 10/10 was suuuuper slow. A combination of not having warmed up enough beforehand, and trying to be really safe so I could get a success on the first go. My filming setup is a pain to assemble and take down, so I wanted to minimize the chances of having to do that repeatedly.

Cool tips, even for me

When did you start practicing MBLD? What were your 3BLD times then?

EDIT: You can PM me instead

17/17 MBLD in 1hr 18.83s (Arrgh so close...)

 

[guysensei1]

8/10 in 55 mins
Doing small amounts of 3bld before actually does help the time!

DNFs were 1 slice move (argh...) and 2 corners twisted both clockwise (I misscrambled this cube but I'm 99% sure I did the corners correctly so I must have corner twisted)

Last 2 attempts:

3/4 in 14:01 [7:01]

4/4 in 14:36 [7:58]

It's good to see my execution time slowly going down, I also did a 3 cycle the wrong way so I had to back track and fix it which was awesome. I'm gonna see how many n/n attempts I can get, 25 is the ultimate goal.

Last Saturday night I achieved 14/14 in 57:32 officially at Michigan 2016! It had been so long since my last 100% official attempt (7/7 Worlds 2013) that I felt very happy with the result. It's my competition and overall PB!

32/42 in 1:00:00 [35:41]

couldn't focus well during memo and made some exec mistakes... 22 points though, could have been worse

Thanks for the tips, Shivam!

Glad to help, congrats!

8/11 in 55:35 (about my 10 cube average... Lol)
Dnfs were:
Corner twist (ugh)
Did CA as CT (CAt/CaT)
Didn't undo a setup move, or did extra setup moves... Idk, it was 4 Centers 4 edges

I'm counting it as 9/11 in my head because of the corner twist.
