Hi !!! Who doesn't love center blocks?? Hehehe ;-) Though not necessarily solely for blind-solving :D Cheers! - Per ... share. ... the ... B2 ... centers ... ...
Yea, Chris, I think we all do. Also, I gave my thoughts about practicing BLD in the memorysports forum. ... to ... up ... as ... r' ... setup. ... need ... up...
Hi everyone, Thanks for the words of encouragement; I'm pleased to say that after ... I spent about 22 minutes memorizing, which is relatively fast for me....
Hey guys, I've been working on getting my BLD times down a lot. I'm learning new things daily, and working on concepts. The fastest Cycle I could come up with...
I'm really liking this. I think 1x direct has the potential to be much faster than Pochmann edges simply because of the shorter algorithm. I'll try using it...
You know setups aren't all that annoying As I said before I was able to do a few successful 2x Indirect solves 1x Indirect could be very very fast 2 setup...
F2 U S' U' F2 U S . U' U S' U' F2 U S . U' F2 These two algs will flip the piece going to the UB and the piece coming out of the UB. That is if UB is the...
Okay, so targeting DF gives less setup moves. I still hate doing the four setup moves for targeting DF when it's flipped so: UB>FD: z F L'R U' R'2 U LR' F' R2...
You beat me to the algs :P I'm not a fan of large BLD system's because I'm too lazy to learn a chunk of algorithms :P If you're willing to put in the time...
The great thing about learning your own work is ... its yours and it sticks to you. I hate learning OLL and PLL, it takes forever. But every algorithm I...
I just applied your alg from a different angle, that's all. What do you mean you'll stick with that other alg? It has a different effect. Stefan ... Pochmann" ...
I know it does have a different effect. However, by using the proper setup and M'U2MU2 (or is it U2M'U2M?) I can achieve the same result as the alg we just...
I just did it today. After I stressed myself so horribly yesterday, I had 20+ DNFs, I decided to stop counting. In a 12 hour period, 20 DNFs I BLDd for like...
Hi, I just had my first successful 3x3x3 BLD solve! The time was 23:52.98. Earlier I had another successful solve, but it was the 2nd attempt for a given...
For more U & R layer turns, you could do the the up-down mirror to twist the D-layer corners... R U' R U' R U' S' D2 S U R' U R' U R' D2 But that part in the...
Hey Bruce, Congratulations on your successful solve, that's awesome! BLD cubing is very addictive so be careful that you don't get sucked in.... too much ;-) ...
I know why images have been much slower for memorizing the 3x3x3 for me! Also, this means that I can speed up my memorization quite a bit for the bigger cubes...
I just did 5 solves on the 3x3x3 using images and not closing my eyes during memorization. It still feels very weird to not close my eyes, but I can still...
Hey everyone, I just tried doing images with eyes open for 4x4x4 BLD and the results are very awesome! My first solve was 8:10.57 but it was a DNF and was off...
Did some 3x3 solves using images with eyes open for memorization just now as well. 2:33.64 DNF 2:14.27 DNF 2:37.40 My times seem to be around what I get when I...
Hey Chris, For what it's worth, I've always memorized with eyes open. I have a problem with distractions though. Visual, noise; both bother me. But I am most...
Hey Dave, That's good to know that memorizing with eyes open has helped you. I posted on the memory sports group about eyes open vs. eyes closed to cement...
... I just got a DNF on 5x5x5 BLD, but it would have been a really good time :-( The memorization time was 10:59.xx and the solve was off by two +centers,...
Alright after this post I promise I'll shut up for a while. I did 3 5x5x5 BLD solves in a row, I'm going to take a break tonight as I'm getting extremely...
Chris, You will get it eventually. Don't always feel so bad at what you are doing. Sit back and think of what you are really doing. Solving a 5x5x5 puzzle...
