Share your blindfold method :)

Hi! cguro this topic has been a repeat for a lot of times na... tamad lng ako mghanap ng topics haha!

anyway, there are so many variations of either 2-cycle or 3 cycle methods. I originally use pochmann's old method (with T, J and Y perms), where the execution solves 1 piece at a time with its correct orientation. lately ive been trying out hybrids - incorporating pochmann's method with 3-cycle with the implementation of orientation phase.

what i do is orient all pieces, use UBR as a buffer for corners, UR for edges, then execute each step as -> setup corner to UFR, setup edge to either UF, UL or UB, then use either T perm (for the edge setup at UL) or J perm ( edge either at UB or UF). it is essentially a 2 cycle method but it cycles 2 pairs at the same time, so it is (supposedly) as fast as a 3 cycle method.

for me, the downside is sometimes it is hard to remember the memorizations. like for example we use the memo method from macky and got 123458 for the corners, and 92854317 for edges, then what i need to do is setup corner 1 and put it sa UFR ( in this case F2 D' F2), then locate where ive put edge 9 (for me, my 9 is DF). in the setup move from the corner, there was a D' involved, so clearly my edge 9 is transferred to DL, so for simpler purposes i bring it to UL by a simple L2, execute a T perm, bring back the edge with L2, then bring back corner 1 with F2 D F2.


i got the idea from pjkcubed (or something). what's nice about this is that there will never be a case of parity. ever what's hard about this is that you have to constantly switch to your list of memo for corners and list for edges. and honestly, i have never been able to complete a solve.

but i have good faith in this variation. memo is easy, only recall is hard.

my PB was from using the old Poch: 4:5x.xx

so whats ur blind story?

madaming kakabisaduhin jan, haha. lalo na yung numbering. although may pattern yung numbering, napakadami, may corner at edges pa...

i'm currently using the 2-cycle similar to the one you described above. but i use the ULF as the buffer zone for the corners, and the UR for the edges.

and yeah, i also tried hybrid. in fact i studied hybrid first before i shifted to 2-cycle. kaso, ang baba ng success rate ko sa hybrid wherein i make use of 3-cycle for the corners. but when i shifted to 2-cycle, success rate is almost 100%.

my PB so far i think is around 10mins. but i haven't really timed myself yet.

i use 3 cycle with story method... my best time for blindfold is 2:17.32 minutes..

nuod lang kau ng tutorial ke seeursgod sa youtube

ung nga lang 2 cycle!!

pero ok din
mgaling xang magtutor

at ngaun my PB 3x3 Bld is 5.36.xx
aus nga eh!!

sa una tlga nakakawalang gana
nakapiring ka pero pagdilat mo wasak ang cube!!
hehe

bale 4 lang na algo ang lahat2x para sa Bld
ung isa libre na dahil Tperm lang

watch nio nlang dun!!
heheh

CHEERS!!

yay.. ung sakin ke Bill Mcgaugh.. kaso di ko pa kaya mag memorize totally.. haha.. may kodigo pa..

marami bang imememorize s 3 cycle?? kc 2 cycle lng me eh.....and ambagal pa.....taz 1/3 p kpag nagsosolve....

im studying 3cycle ryt now

as in ive never studied any blindfold method

derecho sa 3cycle agad

hehehe

maraming algos pro given na yung iba

like edge perms(U yung common) at corner perms na T, A and the like

sana matutunan ko na siya

paturo brian!

hehehe

Hi, my blindfold method is Pochmann's original method. PB is 1:55.xx. (avg around 2:50). I'm practicing 3 cycling stickers for edges (freestyle, no edge orientation), but finding the transition for the setup moves frustrating and slow during execution since I'm not yet used to it as much as I am with the original method I'm using. Once I'm more comfortable and confident with cycling edge stickers, I'll move on to corners. I visually memorize the corners. If I end with an odd number of corner 2 cycles, then I know I'll end up with a parity. For the edges, I visually memorize the first 4 stickers, then I use one word syllables to memorize the the remaining pairs of edge stickers. I execute edges first, then corners.

ehm i use full 3 cycle.. i mean freestyle 3 cycle... PB is 1:37.xx

trying to memorize that. but the problem is the (0001) (2111)
I just don't get that
and the 6 12 edges

I use 3 cycle except that for the CO step, I use Seerusgod's algos. My PB (which I just got today ^_^) is 6:55.xx . I'm not sure what my success rate is though since I haven't been doing BLD much.

by numbers lng din po yan for corners like
(1234)(5648)

dun sa example mo (0001)(2111)

position 4 is clockwise turn from orient 5 is counterclockwise then 6,7,8 clockwise din..

1=clockwise 2=counterclockwise.. ayun..

I know what you mean, but how do you know when it is turned clockwise or counter

If say the top center is yellow, then you it is oriented correctly if either the white or yellow sticker is on top. If it isn't then the piece either has to be turned clockwise or counterclockwise.

Do (RUR'U') (RUR'U') L' (URU'R') (URU'R') L on your cube with yellow as up and red as front. You will notice that the yellow sticker on corner 1 (or the bottom left top corner if you use a different positioning system) needs to replace the blue sticker which is on U. The blue sticker needs to replace the red sticker on L, and the red sticker needs to replace the yellow sticker on F. If you trace the movement with your finger, you can tell that it has to go counter-clockwise.

Then it's just up to you on how you are going to orient them.

Is anybody using Poch's hybrid BLD method?...yun ang ginagamit ni Kenoidz eh...He said it's orientation and permutation in 1....2 cycle nga lang daw yun

2 cycle lang poh

sa wakas nagawa q rin!!! nood lang kau sa youtube sa tutorial ni kulot!^_^ seeursgod. . . magaling xa magturo dali lang intindihin. . .

Inaaral ko yung guide ni Makisumi na 3- cycle. Generally, orienting ng cubies tapos permutation ang ginagawa dun. Tsaka dapat alam mo yung mga PLL cases. Mas maganda ba yung ibang methods like Pochman, TuRbo, at yung sa stiffhands?

It depends on you really. Each method has its pros and cons. Just try a few and see what's best for you.

memorization techiques ko iba! abakada imbes na numbers.

A - 1
Ba - 2
Ka - 3
Da - 4
Ga - 5
La - 6
Ma - 7
Na - 8
Pa - 9
Ra - 10
Sa - 11
Ta - 12

Sa edges permutation ko ito ginagamit.kaya nakakabuo ako ng words or sentences among this. di ko sinama ang e i o u dahil tayong mga pilipino karamihan sa salita natin ay may "A".

For example: 1, 11, 3, 2, 6 (ASa) (Ka) (bala)

Bahala na kayo kung paano ito gawing words or Sentence

Sa EO, CO, CP mga lines ang gamit ko to memorize it.dapat memorize mo na ang cube in 30 to 40 seconds.dapat kabisado mo na ang mga centers of your cube para unang tingin palang alam mo kung ano ang i-memorize mo.Sa akin blue (front) and white (top)
practice and more practice.Kumain ng gulay para lumakas ang memory or take a Memory Plus.And don't forget smile.
And Always Pray to God.


average blindfold: 1:30:57 (sa bahay lang)
sayang at di ako nakasali noon lalo na sa diliman I have no contact or information na meron na palang competition sa rubik.at kung meron man, di rin ako nakakapunta.Marami akong Schedules.
Ngayon ko lang natagpuan ang inyong website.Thanks!
Please suggests or comments

ang galing! 1:30:57 average gamit ang abakada? wow.

part 2

At kung Mag Blindfold ka dapat kalimutan muna ang problema.Lalo na sa lovelife.
Peace your mind.And Positive thinking.

Thank you sa comments.

may napanood ako sa youtube.. seeursgod ata.. mgaling xa mag explain.. try nyu panoorin..

help me naman kung saan makakabili ng rubik original at yung white yung plastic At magkano naman. Kasi sa akin sira na . Sa trinoma ubos na .

Please help me.
Di na ako makapagsolve nangangati na daliri ko.
kaya Nag yoyo muna ako.Hehehe
