Random Blindfold Cubing Discussion

Not necessarily. Means weren't ranked until this year, so people were mostly going for a good single rather than 3 successes. There'll be a lot more people going for accuracy now, but not all the time.

Really? Huh. You learn something new every day I suppose...
 
BLD Corners Letter Pair Trainer

A little something I coded up today that could be useful to some: BLD Corners Letter Pair Trainer

This tool gives letter pairs for any corners, or any combination of corners, to make learning 3-style easier. I've currently got my lettering scheme loaded into it, but it's very easy to change.
The next thing I'm working on is saving the lettering scheme with cookies, so you don't need to enter it in every time.

Any thoughts?
 
Nice. Could be very useful.

I've noticed I have some letter pairs that have quite similar images. E.g:
IO = iodine, NA = sodium,
IB = ibuprofen, NQ = NyQuil
VW = Volkswagen, UT = Ute, FW = four wheel drive
GN = gun, AK = AK-47, WP = weapon
NX = nexus, XT = XT (phone company)
IV = IV, IU = ICU, ER = Emergency room, IL = ill
OJ = orange juice, JC = Juice
JI = jimmies, JU = jubes

Also just some quite weird ones
EH = eh?, UH = uh, EK = eek!
Which I'm not too good at visualizing.

Anyone have good words/images for any of these?

EH - Earnhardt (Dale Earnhardt, the NASCAR driver)
UH - University of Hawaii
EK - EKG (that medical machine that goes "boop, boop, boop" with your heart)

First two are kind of American, but I think they are graspable by other people.
 
Just throwing out some random ideas...

IO = Io, the moon of Jupiter
NQ = the national eNQuirer (a supermarket tabloid)
FW = forward / fast forward (as in the button on the remote, imagine controlling time with it)
IV = four of something (and similarly IX, VI, XI if you need those)
JC = Jesus Christ
JI = something jiggling (your choice :p)
 
Are there two types of E perm PLL parities? I know one is dealt with
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' (PARITY) R U R' U' R' F R F'
At times, when I do this I get H perm. Not because I don't execute at the right place. Can someone help me deal with the other case, if there's any?

Thanks for the ideas! I use 9 as IX. I think IV drip would be less confusing than having IX and IV as numbers.
Io is interesting, but it made me realise moon might be a good one for MN (which I normally use men).
I use JE for Jesus, but you inspired me to look at the letter pair list again, and I found Jackie Chan.
Forward could definitely work.

Thanks, I'll definitely use EKG. I Don't think University of Hawaii would be too useful to me.
I thought of Aaron Eckhart, but I think Earnhardt would make a more distinguishable image.

I did a little update, added the possibility of different buffers, and fixed/improved a few other things. Unfortunately, after trying a ton of different things, I can't get the cookies to work. Help?

I use a lot of Universities for U-whatever. Mostly if their sports teams are good though, cause that's memorable for me.

UA - University of Alabama
UC - University of California
UH - University of Hawaii
UI- University of Illinois
UK - University of Kentucky
UM - University of Massachusetts (U-Mass)
UN - Unversity of Nebraska
UO - University of Oregon (my alma mater! Go Ducks!)
UT - Univesity of Utah (I also just think "Utes" cause that's their dumb mascot)
UV - University of Virginia

also
OU - Oklahoma University (not to be confused with my alma mater UO :p )

This is great, please make one for edges too.

Wrong thread.

If you have 2 4x4s you can easily set up both cases and see how they differ...it too had the same problem.
 
i have figured out some edge comms that are not efficient for me . so , i hope top BLDers will help me...

RO , GL , VP , TN , QB , QD , XP , XW , WE , GP , IW , XP , XT , MQ , GR.

you can post other inefficient comms if you can figure out..
 
God, I'm going crazy trying to fill in my word pair table.... I've actually filled a good amount of the list with my friends, family, celebrities, and movie characters. I've found star wars characters and rappers to be particularly helpful for weird combos... It looks like I'm about 80%, then I just have to memorize it all :(
