5x5x5 Blindfolded
From Speedsolving.com Wiki
For the cuber 5BLD, see Alexander Lau
5x5x5 Blindfolded (5BLD for short) is an official WCA event requiring one to inspect a 5x5x5 Cube and once the cube is fully memorized, solve it with a blindfold covering their eyes. The final time includes the time it takes to inspect and to solve added together. The solver may not have any view of the cube during the solving stage. In order to ensure that the solver is unable to see the cube during the solving phase, the judge typically places a sheet of paper between the solver's blindfold and the cube.
Trivia
- Less people have competed in 5BLD and done a successful solve than any other event in the WCA, at only 261 competitors ever successfully doing a 5BLD single (as of 17 Jul, 2017).
