but i agree to have a variation of solving the same cube because some people don't have the money to buy cubes every month. what i would like to see is 3x3 underwater. maybe even 2x2 underwater.

Edit: bring on the waterproof lubricant.
 
It's pretty hard. Three of us did it one week a while ago for the weekly competition. It was fun: you can basically stare at the (solved) cube all you want while looking over the scramble (note you're not allowed to apply a move without the blindfold on), and use that to work out your cycles. Then you pull the blindfold on and write down the moves. You're allowed to make turns on the cube with the blindfold on if it helps; I found that it helped to do so. The hardest part was making sure you kept track of where you had written your answer, so you didn't overwrite part of your solution and make it illegible. The amazing thing - when we tried it for the weekly competition, all three of us got successful solutions!!! So no, it's not practically impossible.
megaminx BLD?
My success rate is terrible at it, and it does take a while. But I think I could get more accurate at it if I did more than one attempt per week, which is what I currently do.
Magic BLD?
That's too easy - I prefer Magic OHITABLD. (one handed in the air blindfolded) Someday I hope to be as good at this as Stachu. Right now I'm terrible at it, though.
