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...
Rowe and I have been working with this a bit. Odd permutations are left to fix all orientations together at the end, while even permutations are done with...
Chris, when I started blindsolving, it used to take me about 9-15 minutes also to do the whole thing. But one month later, without too much practise (like...
my method for memorizing is real easy in 1 week i switched my time from 5 minutes from a constant time now of 3 minutes... what i do is each piece has a...
Hi everyone, I kicked off another round, but with a slight difference this time: The 3x3x3 format is the same as before, but the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 challenges...
... I'm not sure about R2, because I haven't learned it yet. The whole concept of M2 is to use the "algorithm" M2 to switch 2 pieces, FD and BU. You use FD...
Hi everyone, At the World Championships I had several people ask me about my corner method when they saw me BLD cubing. I use commutator freestyle cycling to...
Nice one, Chris I tried it sometimes, but got some hard cases :P One thing I didn't understand is where you say: "Drop-and-catch" : R' D R U R' D' R U' You can...
Hello, I was just playing around with some moves today, and I found this alg for flipping the 4 edges in the E layer: The pure commutator is: [(RUR'F')*3 , E2]...
Is that easier than the setup move plus MU*4 combination? ... Is that easier than the setup move plus MU*4 combination? On 10/17/07, Joël van Noort <...
Yeah, no problems. I was at work and didn't have a cube to try it out so I was just asking. ... Yeah, no problems. I was at work and didn't have a cube to try...
Sure, but it isn't a set up move because it's the same every time. It becomes just another algorithm as a result. ... Sure, but it isn't a set up move because...
At the world competition I was racing Stefan and Joey Gouly using our sighted blindfolded systems. Also I know that a lot of people are switching to M2 for...
speedsolving.com Blindfolded Cubing Section. There is also some how-tos (which actually may need to be updated -- ugh ... that means me) written by Hardwick...
I was just wondering if there is a faster way to bld just one layer ... just to show someone in a hurry how a BLD solve works. I thought it would be easy to...

Memorize the permutation effects of every one of your OLLs and use that information to figure out what the PLL case would be after executing your OLL? I think...
Well my memorisation retention is not 100% everytime. So if i have to show someone how a bld works and after around 5-6 minutes i open my eyes and the cube is...
