The fact that you can do cube rotations and not lose your place is mind boggling

dont you just love when someone good like graham solves a 5x5 blindfolded on a "BAD" solve faster that your fastest DNF for 3 bld? I need to get better don't i?

Nice save!! similar thing happened to me at Asians, I popped one x Center and did more than half the solve without it, ended up being the winning result at the comp!

great recovery

i did the same thing but twice as slow, 5bld pop strat gives you 100% success rate clearly

Dude, nice save.

Wow great recovery yo!

Talk about clutch

i always woundered if you can get parity on 5bld but i never thought about poped pieces. its insane how you need to find them

SLAY

I will get my 5BLD mean like this

sheesh, you good cubers are just crazy, man!

Wow! Good save!!!

Too good even with the pop

that is such a cool solve, also nice solve!

Yay imma see u at the wcc champs!

thats just determination

Do you practice locating pieces and reassembling blindfolded?

@@Riverish I've never tried anything bigger then 5bld but as far as i know. you only need the same amount of letters no matter how big the cube is. You just end up with more subsets. ex: 4bld had x centers, 5 blind has x centers and + centers, 6 blind has 2 sets of x centers and 2 sets of something like + centers. Each subset uses the same lettering. I could be wrong but that's my educated guess.

That's so gnarly. Hell yeah.

Hey Graham. I'm looking for info no how to do 7bld. I assumed that you would only need 5bld method and adapt it to bigger cubes but I can't seem to figure out the center pieces that aren't x or +. Am I simply applying it imporperly do the non x and + centers have their own algs for the D layer targets and buffer layer targets?

@GrahamSiggins

Жыл бұрын

Hey - I guess I need to ask first: are you using comms? Or just trying to use U2 for all centers? If not using comms, I would highly recommend learning how they work before tackling things above 5BLD. Believe it or not, it will make your life way easier. Centers are by far the easiest piece type to learn comms for, and comms will cut your movecount roughly in half compared to U2. And for 6+ BLD, this is huge, as execution is easily the most problematic part of trying to get successes. If you are intent on using U2, there are some algs you can learn for the D face targets and such, ones that I don’t know off the top of my head, but if you look around or make a post in speedsolving.com, I’m sure you can find those

My 5bld success rate varies a lot, anywhere from 30% to like 60%. My current cstimer session is 32 successes out of 65 attempts, so I guess I'd say most typically I'm around 50% accuracy For 3bld tutorials, I've only ever watched Badmephisto's and Zane Carney's. I was satisfied with them, but I can't really say if any others are a lot better or not. For 4bld, I learned from Noah Arthur's tutorial. Same deal with 3bld, I haven't watched any other tutorials so I can't really recommend anything else, but Noah's was fine for me. For 5bld, a tutorial isn't really needed, because you can just apply all the same concepts from 4bld really

Im still not sure why it wouldnt count as solved if you have two centers of different types missing…like if you finish the solve with a +center and an xcenter missing, that is DNF, but there is only one possible way to replace those pieces

@@GrahamSiggins I confirm as a WCA Delegate According the WCA blindfolded rule; 5b5b) If one part with one colored face is affected, the puzzle is considered solved In Graham case, just a center piece have popped out. So, there's just a only way tô fix the puzzle. So, the attempt was valid.

Does it still count if the piece isn’t on the cube?
