[Help Thread] Multi-Blind Discussion

I've taken a long break, just less than a month, and getting back in actually didn't go as I thought it would. I did like 2 attempts and then for nearly 2 weeks none again.. Definitely school played a big role, new year, lots of work and stuff, so I get why, but it is a problem. I barely find time during the week to do attempts, but will try harder now to fit a couple in a week.
What's bothering me is that I feel I have made no progress in months. As if I was BETTER in October than I am now. I haven't gotten any good results this year, and I've done around 12 attempts. The best was 14P and the rest are much lower. I can however place a lot of blame on 3 style, as I use it but keep making errors in solves. Memo errors have become non-existent at this point, though I expect at a later stage (perhaps when I try and speed up my memo) I will start making them again. I decided to spend more time on 3blind, as this will obviously fix my problems (eventually). Hopefully I can get this fixed up, at least get my accuracy up high, because I've got a comp with 2!!! multi-bld attempts on the 14th and 15th of March.
I will be doing 21 for the first attempt, safetying it. If it goes really well, and I feel pushing the amount of cubes is my best shot at getting more points, I shall push up to at most 26.

42 by end of the year is still the plan, but it isn't looking good so far..
 
Really sad to see a thread basically dead, but anyway.
18/21 MultiBlind in 50:53[34:33].
Not actually good but the best I've got this whole year, exec went really well. Memo is slow though..
All 3 dnf's were exec errors, 2 cubes totally unknown though. The other was executing HQ corners wrong.
Comp next weekend, not all too positive but I'll try my best anyway. I have 2 attempts.
Going to start doing 8-packs after comp, hopefully can start pushing to 30 cubes soon.. 42 isn't looking possible for the end of the year.
Anyway, thanks for the read, happy blinding!
 
I've had an interesting thought about a question that has definitely been asked before, but...

Has anyone ever attempted 4x4 multiple blindfolded, or 5x5 multiple blindfolded before?

My guess is yes, but I wonder if anyone has filmed the attempt....

It is something I still want to do sometime, just haven't got to it yet..

Just type "4x4 multibld" or "5x5 multibld" on youtube.

Best I heard of (even if it wasn't filmed): Lucas Wesche tried 4 4x4 and memorized in 4 different languages, one of them was an Asian one!
 
Hey everyone. Some of you might know about my whole journey (probably cause I talk about it often on here lol) of multi-blind.
I have made a big achievement this past weekend, by breaking the African Record for Multi-Blind.

I'm really happy with it, tried pushing it up the following day but sadly DNF'ed with 12/25 in 1:00:00 (got stopped at last cube, bad accuracy was the cause)

Next up top 100 in world, and then even higher!
No idea when next comp is though (oof)

On another note, for the curious ones: I am going to start doing 8-packs, and going to try push for larger amounts of cubes sub-hour constantly (similar way Rowe Hessler did).

Back in 2010, I did 4/4 multiBLD in negative time for the negative time solving contest:

The next year, Chris Hardwick beat my time by over a minute.

I tried 7x7x7 multiBLD (just 2 of them) once, and missed by just a couple of pieces.
 
So I'm starting to drill high number of cubes sub-hour, and I'd say it started off really well. Tried 30 today and it went very good.

24/301:03:25[42:41]181:25.3641.462:06.8224 March 2020C8: recalled KQ instead of something else. C9: recalled first two letterpairs swapped in exec. C23: missed BD flip in memo (again). C26: recalled 2 pairs swapped, inversed an edge comm. C28: exec'd 2 corner comms as edges omw. C30: skipped letterpair in exec.
Yeah, accuracy isn't great (2 attempt prior to this were 24/26 and 24/28 (see the pattern?)) but it is still very good for me. Points is based on result only, even though the attempt is over the hour. Accordingly, I do not count it on my PB sheet but still log it in my 2020 Multiblind logs as 18P (click here to view in Sheets). I have to mention that the avg exec/ cube is a PB! Which is wonderful considering such a large amount of cubes had to be executed. I believe subhouring this soon is very possible, I will maybe do some 32 cube attempts as well. Videos of this progress can be found on my channel if you would like to see footage, it is timelapsed. The series is called 'Road To MBLD WR5', yes, I am aiming that high..
Thanks for the read, stay safe, cheers!

C1: no idea, 3c. C2: messed up SO edges. C3: think I messed up DP corners, not sure tho. C4: should've done u E' but accidentally did u2, finger slip. C5:some reason did an extra E move after a comm. C12: messed up D moves on HA corners lol. C21: inversed DN corners.C23: ended edge cycle one target too early, 3e. C30: cube slipped in my hands, caused D layer to move unknowingly
Comment: 23 finished subhoured. 5 solved over, 2 dnfed over
Not good, not bad either. avg exec/cube (42.06) was still very good, it is PB2 infact, BEING 30 CUBES! You would think it would be a lower avg on like 21 cubes but looks not lol. Memo is one of the better ones of the year so I'm happy about that too. Overall 1.5 seconds longer on avg per cube than above post's attempt, but it's okay. Accuracy is lots of tiny errors, those stupid comms I still inverse and so on.
Progress!
