I've only been able to do it 5 times so far. All the other times were mostly horrible mistakes that I had no idea what I did. The good thing though, is today I actually managed to solve 2 in a row with no DNFs, which won't probably happen again in a while.
i find that usually i can't go over 4 or 5 solves because my brain tire out, when i do averages (of 5, which i've only done 2x), the 5th one is always a DNF, because i remember so much stuff from previous solves. and i find it really hard to concentrate and do bld, outside (80+% success rate at home vs. 10-15% success rate outside)
I think it's fun to practice 3x3x3 BLD in restaurants and fast food joints, solving under the table. It's a great way to practice in a noisy, distracting environment, and often you even have an audience who's watching you.
It's particularly hard to do when you've brought your family to the restaurant with you, and your youngest daughter is spilling her drink that you have to wipe up with one hand while trying not to lose track of where you are in the solve.
and also when u'r getting into conversations with others.Originally Posted by Mike Hughey

wow MATYAS has gotten 35 DNFS in a row before? wow i though you got perfect most of the time.. apparently not lol then there is still hope for me in BLD cubing lol.
i DNF around 2/3 the time, need to work on it. But its normally in streaks, like 5 DNFs then 3 successes then 2 DNFs and a few more successes.
my accuracy is betting slightly better, but my times aren't improving much. i probably need to practice more
DNF is as good practise as a success. Keep on DNF'ing at 3 mins and you'll eventually get it. There is no point of 100% success rate at 8 minutes.
I think alot of mine are due to cycling the wrong way, or forgetting a piece, but my cube rotations are normally spot on. Infact, i peek after i finish corners and have over a 80% succes rate on them, but a much lower success on edges which pulls me down.
good point
