OMG O_O so annoying scramble xD

1:42.64 [39](1st solve of the day, early morning , memo was quite longer than usual )

Corners... wtf?!

Has anyone else had a dream where you do a really fast blind solve....?

 

[Achifaifa]

I've been trying to learn BLD for the last 2 weeks, and even if I understand how it works, I just can't do a single solve. There is something I'm doing very wrong and that is seriously pissing me off, but I don't know what is it :<

Now it's 4AM, I've been trying for the last 5 hours and feel utterly retarded.

No, However I have had dreams of my Blind memo.
After some of my dreams Hitler doesn't seem like that bad of a guy. (However in real life that is a different story.)

 

[Achifaifa]

It's really easy! Keep trying.

Oh wow, I think I know what was doing wrong now, thank you very much! Zane's tutorial was really good!

I think another tip is testing your memo, and testing your execution. First, try memorizing the cube, and write your memo down. Now put the cube under the table, and solve according to your written memo. This will show if your memo is correct, and if your execution is correct.

Very useful, thanks! I was having trouble with a stupid thing in the method, hopefully I will progress from now on

Hello,
I have decided to try and use the two letter story memo system (dunno what it's called) so I would have to give each letter pair a name. Can you please post your lists? I'm curious to see how other people tackle this problem.

try this scramble. one of the worst scrambles ever.

Spoiler

4 edge cycles.
4 twisted corners.
Only two corners not permuted well, although. :fp

I found this scramble on qqtimer when doing OH. I did corners BLD easily, but I can't BLD fully yet, though I guess someone could get a good time on it.

This is a perfect example of a crazy scramble where i would still just use 3OP because after I quickly orient the corners, I would have five solved corners and a cylcle left.
3op corners
orient corners:
y' (R U' R' U R U2 R' U2)*2 y This looks bad but it's 2-gen and really fast.
x2 left sune, right sune x2
permute corners
D y' (R2 D R2 D' R2 U2)*2 y D'

Weird scramble. Starting from scrambling orientation, I did:
Corners: E perm, 3-twist
Edges: x2 (so I'm in my normal orientation)
M2 sexy M inversesexy M (solves UF and UR)
M x U (R U R' U' M' U R U' Rw') U' M'
2flip then Z perm

Not BLD though. At first I thought I was in the Random Cubing Discussion thread, and realized otherwise after I posted this.

1:22.xx off by 3 corners. Would've been PB (probably wouldn't have counted it though)

Not bad, but I prefer MU -

(U2) [(M' U' M U') (M' U' M' U')]*2
