What is the most difficult puzzle ever solved blindfolded?

I'd imagine something like the Golden Cube or Mirror blocks. Anything without colours or raised edges to memorise.

Umm, you don't even have to memorize a Mirror Blocks cube to solve it blindfolded.

I agree with Mats, the hardest individual puzzle I know of solve blindfolded has to be 7x7 or Megaminx, but Mike can tell us which is harder.

Huh? You can solve these without a memorization phase! People were solving mirror blocks blindfolded as soon as they came out.

Mats, I thought megaminx was significantly more unpleasant than 7x7x7, but 7x7x7 is probably a little harder. But overall, we have to consider that different puzzles are simply different. I'm really looking forward to learning my approach to square-1. I think I've demonstrated it will work, and it should be fairly fast, but it will probably be the toughest BLD method I will have ever learned, by far.

Since this is a spontaneous 'post your blind solve' thread, I just tried BLD mirror blocks with no inspection and got 7:01.45. I've done better, but it's fun to do.

sorry about going into this thread,
using pochman edges, what is a simple and effective way to memorise the edges?

I agree about the first part, but for the second part, I think Pyra would be very easy as most human made solutions only contain 8-14 moves, or maybe under 8 if you really planned on a relatively good scramble.
