So I think I'm done with blindcubing. A preemptive congratulations to who ever next takes the record, I'm sure you deserve it far more than I. Many thanks to...
Why is that? Why would you just quite? I'm sure you deserved the WR, and would deserve if you beat it again... Pedro sccuber <sccuber@...> escreveu:...
Chris, Others feel the same way as you. Lesser people may have given up, and just slipped away in the middle of the night. You breaking the WR isn't enough of...
... you get out of taking off a blindfold and seeing the cube solved. That's the thing, I'm not enjoying it anymore. Perhaps I should move to another event. If...
Hi :-) I'm not a blind-cuber myself. But conceptually those are uquivalent to orienting with U/D stickers on D/U faces, yes. You would only be a cube-turn off...
I can just about solve a 3x3x3 blindfolded (by which I mean 4/5 of the time, I get it wrong :p) and now I'm hoping to at least try to do the 4x4x4. I've got...
Rubiks.has.it has some interesting how-to guides on the subject. http://erikku.er.funpic.org/ describes the r2 method as he uses it as well. You memorize...
I'm a 3-5 minute blindfold cuber, but how can I leap from that to a 2 minute solve? What are your memorization and solving times? When I speedsolve with eyes...
That's a bad case, no? ; ) I think a good way would be using a N perm to swap (1 3) and (2 4) edges...then F2 B2 and a T perm, then F2 B2 back that's how I'd...
Practice, of course. Try memorizing faster. You'll make more mistakes at first, but you'll get used to it soon. Try different memorization methods, find what...
Thanks for the heads up on the r2 method, it is a lot more straightforward than the method I was going to use ;) But for the centres, am I to understand...
I memorize all visually and can memorize a 3x3 in around 90 seconds avg (which is horrible). I basically just picture where the pieces go. It worked pretty...
Seriously, it's all about practice, practice, practice. Some of the best blindfolded cubists in the world memorize visually. That means to see the path of...
I've picked up big cube bld again recently. I don't have a 4x4, but on my semi-functional 5x5 I seem to be averaging in the 22 to 24 minute range. The problem...
Hey Chris, I don't know if this works for your memorization method, but one thing that helped me is to recall the next cycle(s) while executing the current...
Chris, You forget an image. So you can no longer cycle out of the location that you were cycling from. An efficient way to continue solving (counting the...
This post/question is for anyone who solves by solving orientation and position at the same time. I have to ask how you would handle solving an odd permutation...
Hey everyone, I've finally gotten to the point where I've switched to solving the 3x3x3 BLD only with images now. I am not always faster, sometimes I do...
Chris. I use Sune Orientation Conjugations to orient disoriented corners. I understand what you are doing with the cycling method. The good thing about the...
Dear Chris, Thanks for sharing this with us. ( I remember a year or 2 back we discussed the same point). Images for long-term memory and brute rote memory is...
Thanks for your replies guys, always helpful. 'Lookahead' was one thing that really changed my 3x3 bld, only makes sense to apply it to big cubes. That...
