I ran into this on a 5x5x5 BLD solve, and got everything correct except for I did this edge case incorrectly, and got a DNF. (rUF bRD) (lUF bDL) I did the alg...
Hi all blindfold solvers, Yes, indeed, I use a system even to memorise 10 binary digits. I remember I mentioned here in this forum a year back that 3*3*3 can...
Hi John, Chris, whoever is interested, I like using the journey and phonetic/major systems; they're fun. In messages 952,1004, and 1014 I tried to describe how...
Hi Dave, Great to hear from you! Hope things are going well, both with your cubing and everything else. I just read your post, and I too have done something...
Chris, ... down"? ... (I ... Yeah, I agree it's best to use objects. I only use a verb in certain cases with the cube. For fall down, I just picture myself,...
Chris: Memorizing 10 binary digits, while still easy, is still "not easy to do in a rote manner" in a small timeframe, which is why a system is still ...
Dave: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6343/corners8sh.png This is how I approach CO. There's an obvious downside if you don't see these cases on the cube,...
Hey Marcus, ... This is probably true, if you only wanted to memorize binary digits, then yes I agree you wouldn't want to learn a huge system, but those who...
Hey Stefan, These two are very cool, I like viewing the pieces on the b slice as one unit for that "mostly face moves" type of commutator. ... Oh my God, how...
... [b2,L'UF'U'L] That's such an awesome way to do two 2 swaps like that. Stefan does this approach work for any other good cases for doing 2 swaps? I see how...
Hey guys, Sorry for the delayed response. I liek both of the algs that you gave, Per I see how yours bases off the [r l e2 r' l', U2] alg. Stefan, I like that...
Chris, Wow that video is awesome. You can totally see how such a system would work... when he starts slapping down two cards at a time over and over again you...
... Chris, this sounds really interesting. I am a little confused on some parts. Would it be possible to give an example scramble, and what you would memorize...
... Hey Marcus, ... over ... with ... over ... something ... at ... Yeah those videos of Ben totally blew my socks off, enough so that I decided to also use...
... Absolutely I can provide an example. Here is the scramble I used: L' R' B2 D2 U L' U B2 R2 B' D2 U L2 R' F2 D U2 F2 U L2 R' B' F' L R2 I scrambled with the...
... Thanks so much for clearing up a things i was unsure of. It seems like it could be really fast. As for these videos of ben pridmore, where can I find them?...
Marcus, Thanks a lot for the tips. I'm going to practice some with them and see how they work; I'll let you know if I have questions. Thanks, -Dave In...
Chris, Thanks for that example. One thing I always had trouble with when trying to apply images to the cycles was to know when a cycle ends and where a new...
Hey everyone, For anyone following the stuff about using images, I am showing some improvement! I just did 2 solves on the 3x3x3. The first one was 3:35.01...
Hey everyone, I just DNF'd a 5x5x5 solve, but the cool part is that I memorized it, comfortably, faster than I ever have a 5x5x5 before. I was using my ...
Ok there is no longer any doubt in my mind, for the larger cubes, this large image base system is one of the best methods (and probably for me, the best) there...
Chris, Omigod... hmmm maybe this method is totally worth taking up for the larger cubes... hmmm, I wish I understood it fully, haha. Would it be asking too...
Well done Mr.Chris Hardwick! Keep going. Wish you all the very best for US national championship. I lack motivation to restart my blindsolving big cubes. Now,...
Gosh Chris !! That is actually quite spooky!! With more practice u can memorise AND solve it in less than 20 minutes. Highly impressive !!! :D Keep ut the work...
Hi Chris ! How about this one : L2 f2 R' B f2 - (Rr)2 (Ff)2 U2 r2 U2 (Ff)2 (Rr)2 - f2 B' R f2 L2 Yah, seems longish but really it's only a conjugated r2 only...
Hi :-) Or maybe : R2 (Bb)2 R B b2 - (Rr)2 (Ff)2 U2 r2 U2 (Ff)2 (Rr)2 - b2 B' R' (Bb)2 R2 is better? Darn, i'll keep looking for a shorter setup. Seems hard...
Hey everyone, I just got a DNF on a 4x4x4 solve (ended with three corners flipped incorrectly, otherwise solved). However the cool part is that I memorized the...
Hey J. Bernett, I think it's interesting that you say I am an inspiration to you, because you and John Louis have been huge inspirations to me! Bernett, you...
