4. DNF D2 B2 D B2 L2 U R2 D L2 D2 U2 R' B U' R' B' U F2 U2 R2 B'

Such an easy scramble, really fast memo... but I forgot the last target, which was BU. I forgot the last letter pair, but I could remember it started with F... I think I remembered 'FaR', but nothing to do with anything being far away from anything - I could have just done fire, which would have been much easier...

It was actually going to be a success as well, and as my success rate is 10-15%, that just makes it even more irritating.

8. DNF R2 F2 D2 F2 L2 F2 L2 F2 U B2 U' R' U2 R L' D R' U F L D U'
another easy scramble... I failed on the second corner target. Did it about three times, undoing it each time, trying to remember whether it was DucK, DuCk or DUck. I eventually remembered it was DUck, and then undid the setup wrong :fp

4/20

Figured I should get down to practicing freestyling corners. The switch from 3OP is tough :(

6BLD DNF - 39:00.15 [17:29] off by 19 centers and 4 wings
Fourth attempt ever, done for the weekly competition. Three minutes faster than my success, and memo two minutes faster than my success.

Also, I've DNFed every BLD event in the weekly competition so far, all that's left that I can do is 2BLD (need to fix 2x2) and multi BLD.

Did a little bit blind last Week and had a safe and fast solve. Forgot a Move at last setup and only done the second move. DNFed with 3 Moves to solved state -.-

Did my fourth attempt at 4BLD today...
during wing execution I did a r2 l' without realizing, but after all the pieces in the l slice were solved, resulting in the whole cube being off by a 180 degree rotation of the U center (from OP corners) and a l

6BLD DNF - 40:49.86 [15:15]
Done for the weekly competition, ended up looking completely scrambled except for a few lines of solved pieces
Center memorization was around 7 minutes, but I ended up finding a memo mistake during review
Messed up during execution because of mixing up right/left obliques, as well as forgetting setup moves. Next time I'll remember to be extra careful on obliques.

3BLD DNF in 3:15, with a 2:15 memo. First solve of the new weekly comp and it was a ridiculously easy scramble. Off by two corners and it would have been PB by over a minute. Only six targets for the corners and I still managed to forget about the last two somehow, even though I do corners first...
