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...
A blog is like an online journal - you write every day, or a few times a day, or whenever, the stuff you're thinking about or the stuff you've been doing....

I agree, if you miss the first two solves and still solve at a faster rate (78-80% accuracy only) then for that last cube you only have a 78-80% chance of...
I am currently writing a long list of all the different algs for all the PLL and OLL. Using that list, people can try several of the algs and choose the alg...
Hey all, I am excited to say that I got my first cubic puzzle solve today! :-D I got my first successful solve on the 2x2x2. The times were: Memorization:...
Congratulations. The difficulty in blindfolding seems to be mainly psychological. Once you solved a puzzle blindfolded it's not nearly as much of a challenge...

Is that 5.23 minutes or hours? ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! ...
Don't you think it would be very very stupid to write "5 hours, 23 minutes, *60 seconds*"? Also, even thinking of the possibility that he took 5 hours for a...
... minutes of course! Actually, I beat that time and solved the 2x2 in 3 mins, 21 seconds (inc. 90 seconds to memorize) ...my accuracy is improving, too! :-D...
... Haha, I think that would be a very silly thing to say...the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it sounds. ... Given 5 hours, a person with no...
Blindfold 3x3 Attempt #5 Memorization: 12 minutes Execution: 8 minutes End result: two flipped edges, four twisted corners. All pieces were permuted...
hmm, takes u 12 minutes to memorize? what kinda method are u using? Bob Burton <rubikscubewhiz@...> wrote: Blindfold 3x3 Attempt #5 Memorization: 12...
Bob, I understand your frustration, as I went through it too. The best thing to remember though is don't view your unsuccesful solves as "wasted time." View...
What has helped me a lot, and what may help you, is to practice solving it "blindfolded" while looking at it. That is, memorize the cube, and then solve it...
... I use the method described on Stefan's website. I make some sort of "story" in my head. My memorization skills have improved greatly by practicing the...
Attempt #6 I got my first successful solve on the Rubik's 3x3x3 today! :-D Memorization: 12 minutes 51.83 seconds (actually 8:54 to memorize and 4 minutes to...
Bob, Congratulations! Your times are very good for it being your first successful 3x3 BLD solve as well. I think my first solve took around 1 hour 30...
oh, sorry. i have not been able to solve any cube blindfolded yet (i always mess up the algs somehow), so i dont really know how fast you usually solve it on...
Hey all, Only five days after my first successful 3x3x3 solve, today I got a new personal best of 9 mins 46.28 seconds (done behind my back in a chair). The...
Does anyone know any 2x2 algs that swap 2 corners, 1 from the U layer, and 1 from D layer without orienting the corner pices incorrectly? ... Do you Yahoo!? ...
... layer, and 1 from D layer without orienting the corner pices incorrectly? I'm sure there's something better than this, but this is what I use: (Certainly...
Thanks, but I don't know how long this world record will stand. It seems like records are being broken every day. Congrats on your sub-10. Keep up the good...
