Blindfold Failures Thread

[Mike Hughey]

First attempt of new year:

7x7x7 multiBLD: 0/2 = DNF (2:22:51.75, 1:18 memorization)

Most frustrating attempt yet. First cube was off by just 3 corners - the first 3 corners I solved. When I solved them, I apparently solved them correctly, but I thought I had done them backwards, so I solved them again. Second cube was off by just 2 obliques, and I don't know where I went wrong on them. So a total of 5 pieces wrong on 2 7x7x7's.

And then I managed a total fail. I forgot I had resolved to have my first successful solve be a 7x7x7 BLD this year, and I accidentally solved the cube with the 3 corners wrong. Which means I failed in my resolution.

On second thought, it means I can now do solves on other cubes - I'm free of my resolution. So change that to a .

Come on Mike, 3 corners off, you're above that... Hangover?

Come on Mike, 3 corners off, you're above that... Hangover?

The funny thing is that on every one of the four 7x7x7 multi attempts I've done, I have always made some really stupid mistake at the beginning. There's something about 7x7x7 multis that just seems to do this to me - I don't know why.

Nice attempt Mike

The one time I attempted 7x7x7BLD I had this rushing feeling of excitement when switching from memoing to execution. Maybe that's what you're experiencing. Although 7x7x7 multiBLD is just regular cubing for you

7x7x7 multiBLD

Wow! 7x7x7 multiBLD Mike, how did you come with such an idea? I like it, though! I am a long way from a single 7x7x7 BLD, but it looks sooo awesome!

MultiBLD: 1/2 in 7:56.16 for me (the first cube was off by only a few edges). I haven't gotten a 2/2 yet but at least I'm getting faster.

[Yes, We Can!]

I also tried Multi BLD for the first time and got really close to 2/2...

Though 2 edges and 2 corners at one cubes were unsolved.
But 1/2 isn't that bad for the first try I think...
The time was 16:34.

Hope to get it next time

how do u memo corners
i ask this because my 1 bld time is about same with you
and i feel like do multi too
usually the memo of corners of mine is very short term
i don't think i can memo for 2 cubes :C,
so im gettin tips from you

you shouldnt ask me about that ^^
i am not really an expert, i memorize the corners with just letters..

but when i do multi, i make words from the letters at the first cube because i forget the single letters pretty easily.

Good luck on your attempt!

school reopening is soo anoying ，
i will attempt tomorrow , probably
omg，u say letters？
8corners X 3 letters -3 letters（buffer coner） = 21 letters ？for corners
so u got both letters for edges and corners?
or what u memo for edges
