hi everyone, do we have to name the cubies with #s? or we can make up whatever is best for ourselfs? can you guys tell me some examples of naming the cubies?...
... Yes you have to. It's the law. And Mr Rubik is watching. ... Since I'm in Germany and Rubik isn't too close, I do use other "names" (actually objects I can...
I tried to memorize the permutations by numbering the cubies. But for some reasin I just cant get them to stick in my memory. So now I just find the...

I just cut a lot of time from my record for blindfolded skewb. But I need some input about how to define lucky cases for this puzzle. My method works as...

Hi Kare, first of all - congratulations! I certainly need to improve a lot to catch you :-) My method is almost the same as yours, though I stupidly ...
I guess I can count this time after all. I was hesitating because it was 40s faster than my second best time. But today I got lots of fast times so its not...

Stefan, that's awesome - congratulations! Did you find it very difficult to remember all the pieces, or was it pretty much the same as a normal blindfolded...
You hopefully only mean for POPs, right? ;-) But yeah, I did use a certain sticker/cubie layout for the DIY I just built and will do the same with the...
... just ... Actually pops were only one of two reasons (these cubes should never pop accidentally, they are just too good). The other reason is that I wanted...
Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to wait until it's included in the speedcubingdotcom list. I didn't want to influence the decision at all of how "amazing" to...
Congratulations Stephan, I am also working on the blindfold 5x5x5 supersolve. I have my system totally worked out and have made a couple of attempts but come...
Hi Rob, can you say why you're off by a three-cycle? Did you forget one or did you do one wrong or...? Let's talk about the difficulty comparison and our...
Hi Stephan, I do think I know what went wrong with the three-cycle. On one solve I had a situation with the X centers that required two pair swaps. One of...
... Hi Ropp... ;-) ... Ouch, yeah, I've done something similar a few times. In the Euro2004 finals for 3x3 BLD my first attempt was wrong by two flipped edges ...
I know this stuff is old-hat to a lot of you by now, but after solving a few cubes without looking at the cube - but with notes, I just attempted to do a real...
Where do you guys get your blindfolds? I want something that I can wear on my head while memorizing and just pull down when I'm done. Also I want it to be...

Hi Kåre, You can buy blindfolds at airports. They are used to sleep in an airplane. Or for blindfolded cubing in an airplane. :-) Have fun, Ron ... From:...
I use bandanas, they are cheap to buy, and you just have to fold them to a band about 5cm thick and tie it over your eyes. It's easy to wear while memorizing...
Hi, i am getting into blindfold solving. I am having trouble with the 2x2x2. Since i am a beginner i am using notes, but i hope later to memmorize every thing....
Finally found my mistake. The alg i was using to switch three corners on the U layer had a cube rotation at the end that was not part of the move. After...
Hey everyone, I recently looked at some of the probability related to blindfold solving in competitions. ... Here is how I looked at blindfold solving. I...
Hi Chris, Interesting post. Do you find that nerves play a role in competition blindfold solves which might reduce your success percentage - especially at...
I didn't mention this in my first post, but I do something similar. The break neck speeds I list for each method are the speeds you should go until you get a...
I apologize for so many posts but I made a typo in my math, and I hate to leave it incorrect. For a 2 cube round, the odds I get are in fact 90% or x=0.9 but I...
... I don't think so. If you have just one solve left and have 79% accuracy then you'll have 79% chance to not be eliminated. Previous results don't matter and...
