Tutorial: Solve the Rubik's Cube blind
My attempt at explaining how to solve the Rubik's cube blindfolded (Pochmann method). Its one of the few tutorials on how to do this on YouTube... and now I know why: because its really hard to make one :) Also, you really need to practice this method to get it down, because there are many things to keep in mind. I think I covered them all though. As always, don't hesitate to ask questions, I'm sure I left out some stuff. :(
OUTLINE
start - solving EDGES and all important concepts
9:39 - breaking into new cycles
11:18 - brief summary
13:00 - solving CORNERS
16:50 - PARITY fix
19:00 - Example solve and MEMORIZATION
27:00 - Example solve execution
29:02 - Closing comments
LINKS that explain the same method, but with slight variations:

MEMORIZATION LINK (FORUM THREAD): http://www.speedsolving.com/fo...
ALGS:
PARITY FIX: Ra: y' [L U2' L' U2'] [L F'] [L' U' L U] [L F] L2' U y
--------------EDGES
ALGS:
T : [R U R' U'] [R' F] [R2 U' R'] U' [R U R' F']
Jb: [R U R' F'] {[R U R' U'] [R' F] [R2 U' R'] U'}
Ja: y' [R' U L'] [U2 R U' R' U2] [R L U'] y
TO SOLVE (EDGES):
YO: Jb
OY: l' Ja l
YG: T
GY: L' d L' T L d' L
YR: Ja
RY: l Jb l'
OG: L' T L
GO: d' L T L' d
OB: d2 L T L' d2
BO: d' L' T L d
BR: d L T L' d'
RB: d2 L' T L d2
RG: L T L'
GR: d L' T L d'
OW: l' Jb l
WO: D' L2 T L2 D
BW: D' l' Jb l D
WB: D2 L2 T L2 D2
RW: l Ja l'
WR: D L2 T L2 D'
GW: D l' Jb l D'
WG: L2 T L2
--------------
----------- --CORNERS
ALGS:
Y : {F [R U' R' U'] [R U R' F']} {[R U R' U'] [R' F R F']}
Jb: U2 [R U R' F'] {[R U R' U'] [R' F] [R2 U' R'] U'} U2
Ja: [R' U L'] [U2 R U' R' U2] [R L U']
(note that Jb and Ja have to be executed while holding the cube a little differently.
its as if they required their own little setup moves as well)
TO SOLVE (CORNERS):
YB: Y
BO: F' Jb F
OY: R Ja R'
YR: Ja
RB: R' Y R
BY: R' F' Jb F R
YO: Jb
OG: F R Ja R' F'
GY: F Y F'
OB: R Y R'
BW: F' Y F
WO: R2 Ja R2
BR: D' R Y R' D
RW: R' Ja R
WB: R2 Y R2
RG: D F Jb F' D'
GW: D2 F' Y F D2
WR: D2 R2 Ja R2 D2
GO: F Jb F'
OW: D F' Y F D'
WG: F2 Y F2
number checking formula: #items = (#wrong pieces) + (#cycles) - 2
