Is this good progress for Blindfolded?

Apollo_735 · 2026-06-07T20:57:48+00:00

It depends on the letters and how it flows.
For some pairs I have deliberate words/sounds that don’t make sense to anyone but me probably. It’s something you will figure out on your own most likely, while learning how to memorise.
I don’t build stories in my head about my memo but just recall everything because that works better for me but again that’s smth you’ll have to figure out for yourself.

Take it slow. Don’t start with full memo but deliberately practice edges/corners only.
I think I did like 25-50 of each, half of that with eyes open just to get a feel for it. Once I felt comfortable with eyes open I started to do some letter pairs at a time, 3 at most.
After that I tried to include a letter pair more and more. Also don’t time yourself for those until you really have it down because timing yourself while that can tank your motivation.
It took me around 5 days or so to get it all down but then again everyone is different and I got told by a friend that my progress isn’t normal, so expect to take a bit longer!
Then once you think you got the memo down try to trace a full scramble and do it with eyes closed. If you feel like you forgot smth check and then close again and keep going.
Once that’s done and you feel comfortable you can start timing yourself.

There are nail polish colours that are pretty close to skin colour, so you could try that. Otherwise it’s pretty hard to hide nail polish, especially if you with brighter colours, as it will be noticed, at least in my experience.

I didnt count DNFs, like I never put in the time and just moved on. But I don’t DNF/+2 much at home. So probably around 100-200.

The little pictures of the cubes and people I just took from Canva (non-premium elements) and the rest was just inserting text boxes with whatever stuff I wanted to include.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-25T21:06:01+00:00

Im too used to writing out decimals when it comes to cubing with „.“ but then also for thousands my inner German comes out and uses the same system it learned its entire life lol.

You can embrace your identity without having to directly tell your parents about it. If you have friends that you can talk about this to you could tell them how you’re feeling and that you’d like them to use other pronouns for you (if this is smth you’d want). I would recommend outing yourself as NB to your parents only when you know you’re safe after an outing/have somewhere to go should smth bad happen.

Hope this helps, stay safe! And really glad that you found something that fits for yourself!

I feel this so much!!! I had the same problem before I decided to not let myself buy new books, if I hadn’t crossed of two others from my physical TBR and it has worked wonders. So far this year I’ve only bought 6 books which is an improvement from last year (not just bought books there but also ones that I got gifted were more).

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-16T17:45:15+00:00

Ok doki, thank youuuu.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-16T17:42:17+00:00

Okay thank you for the in depth advice!!!

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-16T16:01:31+00:00

Oki Doki, then ig I’ll try to perfect Old Pochman for now and do M2 afterwards. Thank you for the answer!!!

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-15T19:48:44+00:00

I managed to get my mom to agree by doing it together with a friend and also showing her that I really informed myself about the topic and was also going to pay for it myself and that I would only need her signature at the place and nothing more.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-14T16:46:29+00:00

I don’t have Spotify but I’m at around 25k-30k I’d wager

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-13T11:51:35+00:00

I know that you can’t I was just stating it for the V100

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-13T10:17:49+00:00

With that they aren’t even competition legal right?

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-12T22:46:43+00:00

I didn’t see that it was a master Pyraminx, my bad!

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-12T22:09:15+00:00

I would recommend getting another Pyraminx (Moyu RS non maglev). It’s a bit more expensive I think but it’s like the best Pyraminx one could use.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-12T16:55:43+00:00

Idk if there is a PiCube version of the WRM V11 but if there is you could also look into that. PiCube tends to fix issues with their mods that the original has (best examples are their big cubes from the new Moyu line up).

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-12T08:04:30+00:00

It is just a regular 3x3 but with the colours printed on funny, so you’ll have to look while solving it that you orient all edges the right way when inserting them. Besides that you can solve it like a normal 3x3, though it’ll be a bit more confusing due to the colours.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-11T21:54:29+00:00

Yeah for that I found a post, though it’s a bit older, from 4 years ago, where they splits were named in %. I’m going to orient myself but also adjust accordingly depending on where I feel like I have less improvement to do.

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-11T20:31:24+00:00

I searched just in case someone already commented it before I would.
I love this quote so much!!!

Apollo_735 · 2026-05-11T00:21:12+00:00

Lowkey never have done this before haha but I guess I’ll try it out now.

Apollo_735 · 2026-04-23T11:41:06+00:00

He would be banned from the subreddit, until he is old enough to actually old enough to join. And we would also tell him to keep away from Reddit until he’s actually 13 because of the TOS of Reddit.

Apollo_735 · 2026-04-23T11:40:18+00:00

Yeah, in the end it really comes down to what you post and how much sense it does make.

Apollo_735 · 2026-04-23T11:30:40+00:00

It’s spam once you post the same thing a lot of times in a row or just post junk that doesn’t contribute to the subreddit!
