i did my first blindsolve attempts after reading stefan's page. and yeah it is quite funny sometimes :-p i'd say just start with the 3x3x3 right away and don't bother about the smaller cube. just make sure you have a good method to memorize. if you are going to use the method stefan explains with the items along a "mental" route, take your time to come up with good items that YOU can remember easily! take your time the first couple times you try. just memorize for an hour if needed. and don't give up if you fail a couple of times. many people fail their first attempt to blindsolve a cube (well at least i did) and you should feel happy if you come quite close, like 2 edges with wrong orientation or 2 pieces swapped, because then you know you can do it :-) !! and you will after some more attempts.
and i'd get a 4x4x4 before getting a 5x5x5 for the simple reason that the 5x5x5 cube is a cube with odd dimension, just like the 3x3x3. the 4x4x4 is a cube with even dimension and has a couple "extra's" because of that (being the parity errors and not having fixed centers) greetz, sander --- David Pritts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your webpage (blindsolving instructions) says that > people should let you know what they think about > your page.
