Just figured it was worth posting -- new personal best of 1:08 3x3 BLD. About 20 seconds memorization 48 seconds execution. Marcus Stuhr Wharton & CAS '09 ...
Well Done Mr.Marcus. Why didn't you compete in US nationals? I was expecting a ding-dong battle between you & Mr.Leyan. I have understood now, more than...
I had work and I didn't have the financial means/ability to make the trip but I will definitely compete next year sometime, most likely (perhaps at Rutgers or...
Currently I use R B' R F2 R' B R F2 R2 and the reverse of this for the other alg. Easier ways to execute these? (they're just a little slow for me, maybe I am...
I do it like x' R U' R D2 R' U R D2 R2 x same thing but easier to execute (for me) Pedro kyuubree <agent_m80@...> escreveu: Currently I use R B' R F2...
... If memory serves, besides doing a lot of public cubing, he also employed hypnosis. I remember Dan competing in 3x3x3 blindfold in Toronto, and like 8 out...
Hey Marcus, A few things helped me to feel more confident about BLD under pressure (in public/in competition). The most important thing for me was to do ...
One issue for me though was that when I cube in public, I wonder how it must look? I mean most people obviously can't solve a Rubik's Cube, so when they see...
Hey Marcus, ... how ... Cube, ... wonder ... I feel exactly the same way. I always feel extraordinarily awkward when I cube in public, which is one of the...
Hello, I am not a master of BLD at all but I noticed a few things : The first time you compete, you usually get DNFs because there is more pressure and the...
Yeah if I do BLD in front of people I get similar comments (I only do the 3x3 in public though -- I'd imagine people don't stick around all the time for the...
Hi again... At Nationals, I was re-inspired to try speed blindfold solving. So, on the plane ride home, I attempted again...and succeeded! This was on the...
Hi everyone, I started a fresh round of the blindfolded cubing competitions: http://www.ryanheise.com/competitions/ -- Ryan Heise http://www.ryanheise.com/...
Hi everyone, I got a number of requests for a website about my big cubes BLD method at US Nationals. I have already posted or written pretty much everything I...
Chris, I'd like to help contribute to such a page if possible -- are there any tutorials for a given concept or approach that you'd like done? Let me know if...
Hello After 2 hours, 5 failed attempts, I have just now done my first blindfold solving (of EDGES ONLY). On the 6th attempt, I went over the story in my head...
Hmm, I was about to say I do, but I don't sorry. I have a nice method that I've developed. It's got the possibility to be fast if memorization and recall can...
The corners method of Pochman really isn't bad at all. I was really confused at first but then I learned the alg in less than 2 minutes. It was so familiar it...
... for not being prepared. Finally attempted a 4x4 today. Guess where I made the mistake? No, not at the centers that always gave me a headache. Not at the...
Bet you didn't beat my 25 DNFs in a row record on 4x4x4 though ;-) Back when I first was getting used to the 4x4x4 BLD with my old storyline method I had 17...
Hey Stefan, I absolutely totally and completely know the feeling. My worst ever DNF, or the one I consider the worst, was one on 5x5x5 where all I had to do...
... Yeah I'm really that slow sometimes, I was an m turn away from solved since I did m, then m2 leaving me with a necessary m turn to solve. Anyway Stefan, no...
Actually that doesn't seem right, I think I must have taken 1.5-2 weeks for that. I certainly wasn't doing over 6 solves a day for a week. I remember the 17...
Ohhhh you're really gonna love this then... my DNF's were on the 3x3x3. Not even the bigger cubes. The measly 3x3x3! I'm pretty sure I kept messing up EP on...
Hey Marcus, Great job on the 1:08, really spectacular! Any more you'd like to share about your memorization techniques in general or on that solve, please do,...
Hey Dave, Thanks for the kudos. My memorization techniques (as well as Leyan's/Tyson's) relies on groups of patterns, I think. Like looking for chunks of...
