Random Blindfold Cubing Discussion

[Flame838]

Do you guys think using a smaller cube would benefit memo because you'd have to rotate the cube less to track the pieces? I'm getting a smaller cube for OH anyway so i just thought this could be an interesting idea.

Anyway to execute OP corners first for 4bld and then fix the rotated centres? I guess i could cut around a minute there if i could deal with it. Incase there are only 4 or 8 corners, i execute them before centres. Else it's always after centres.

Also how do i fix parity for midges in 5BLD? Method - m2.

Personally, I prefer just shoot to UBR at the end of corners, then at the end of midges do an extra M2 then perform: F2 Rw2 F2 U2 r2 (Inner slice only) U2 F2 Rw2 y T-perm y' F2

Thanks both of you Hopefully i should get faster with BLD events when i take it seriously.

Former WR holder Haiyan Zhuang (2008ZHUA01) is now cleared of his 3 year ban and can now compete in WCA competitions. I wonder if he'll come back.

(If a mod wants to move this to one of the relevant closed threads, then that would make sense)

I'm secretly hoping that he's been practicing relentlessly for 3 years and he's now sub-15

He posted CCA 24.xx solves a couple years ago.

Good corner comm for ULB -> UFL -> DRB?

u' R2 u B2 u' R2 u B2 seems decent. (I execute like u' R2 u B2 u' R2' u' B2').

[B2, r U r'] is my case, but I'm weird

Spoiler: UBL UFR DFL

U2 R U2 L' U2 R' U2 R U2 L U2 R'

For inverse just put the U2 at the end.

Spoiler: UBL DBL BDR

U R' B2 R U' R' U B2 U' R

Pretty decent + easy to remember. Inverse is okay too.

Spoiler: DF RU BU

M' U M U M' U M U

Super easy.

UBL UFR DFL: standard per special alg, I don't like it for corners but I do for wings: l' U2 2R U2 l U2 l' U2 2R' U2 l U2 (I worked out that hax version and gave it to Ollie, he loves it).

UBL DBL BDR: Cool, you found a way to execute a cyclic shift BH alg that doesn't suck, but I prefer U L2' U2 L D2 L' U2 L D2 L U'

DF RU BU: Not new, but pretty nifty and some people might not know it.

I use l' U2 R U2 l U2 l' U2 R' U2 l U2 for the corner case as well No rotations required and good for big cubes.

What alg do you use? I find this one fast, especially executed something like R U2 L' U2 R' U2' R U2 L U2 R' U2'. I got 1.28 on it.

z R' D R U2 R D' R' U2 R D R2' D' R z', I could never find fingertricks for the other alg that suited me, though I just tried it with a z in front and it's not bad.

In 4bld I hate the cases for wings where I have two l-slice wings (like DFr-FDl-UFl). Can someone tell me a comm that would solve a case where the wings are Diagnol so either BUl-FDl or UFl-DBl. For adjacent I use x': [D2, U' l' U l]
