11th attempt to sovle 9x9x9 blindfolded: off by 3 obliques
WHY??
I was SURE that tonight I would have success. During the preforming, I was sure that I do not have any mistake.
Maybe I memorized it wrong, IDK.

5x5x5 BLD - 13:52.74 mins

Off by 2 edge pieces. I just forgot to close a new cycle with only 2 pieces. Instead of A-B-A, i did A-B-nothing :fp
I think that would have been PB. Pretty cool, after not doing a 5x5x5 BLD for one year or so. Makes me wanne do that (and MULTI BLD) more often. So much space for getting better..

4BLD off by 2 center pieces :(
I knew I had forgotten something at the end, since my memo finished on a U center, so the centers could not possibly have been solved. After 1 minute or so, I ended up guessing I needed to shoot to L. It looks like I had also missed E.

3x3x3 MULTI BLD - 9/10 - 17:55 mins

This is an accomplishment and a failure at the same time. The time was an accomplishment, because i am getting more "sub-2 secure" for each cube in avg on bigger MULTI BLDs. But its also a failure, because i missed one cube -.-

*hug* looks to me like you cycled them the wrong way :/ maybe clockwise instead of anti-clockwise. Your moment is coming!

My fail (mehh, I say fail, it's still OK) being the time taken to don the blindfold. :fp


EDIT: and another 22:55.73 6BLD DNF, off by three obliques :(

Nooo :( I felt it misalign as I sped up on the final inner wings.

The scramble was amazing - I think there were 15 solved obliques.
