Got 1:30.09 3BLD PB single 2 days ago. I did 50+ more attempts from then but only got a bunch of 1:3x/1:4xs and still no sub-1:30...

Got a 41.13 3BLD single where I did two targets out of order, realized it, undid them, and redid the correct order. i.e. 4 more M2 targets than there should have been. PB is 36.76, I probably would have beaten it without that stupid mistake -_-

 

[Daniel Lin]

off by an edge 3cycle. Would've been UF/UFR PB single

Just had a 5BLD attempt were halfway through my memo I realise I had picked the wrong orientation. I just stopped the timer and gave up on the attempt

 

[OJ Cubing]

Been trying to learn 5BLD by solving it under a table (i.e. out of sight) whilst having the letters in front of me (I know I can do the memo but I want to be confident with execution first). Even still I still DNF'd 11 times before getting a success!!
I reckon I'll just get on and do some proper 5BLD now!

Another 6BLD DNF (41:52), again by two centres.

I went really slow, but I managed to miss a single letter in my memo. The pair was RK, but I for some reason skipped the R and paired the K with the next letter...

 

[OJ Cubing]

mBLD 6/7 (<47 minutes) On my first cube, for edges, my first two letters were CO, which are both in my M-slice. Therefore because O is in the second position of the pair, I needed to execute it as E (which I forgot to do)
So close to having 7/7 on my first attempt but my memo was quite fluid and I had 13 minutes left so I reckon I'm ready to try doing 8 again (last time I got 4/8... #fail )

Sad to hear about the 10BLD DNF after 6 hours of exhaustion for Alex

At the end of the stream he talks about the solve

That is truly the mother of all DNFs. My guess is he forgot to undo a rotation very early on. At 2:44 he tells us he's completed the first centre group, and when he stops at 3:01 to tell us he's done the second, the cube is in a different orientation.

You didn't watch it all did you?

No I looked at his memo to see the orientation then jumped around a bit in the first half hour of execution. You can see in his base orientation the top left 5 stickers of the side facing us are BGGBG or something like that... until about 3:00.

I was half joking but i did wonder.

Just did my first 7BLD attempt - DNF (unsurprisingly)

I was off by a fair bit, but the cube was more solved than unsolved so it's a success in my eyes . Corners were done, and most of my wings/midges were done. I did however end up in the wrong orientaion - I think i forgot to undo an E slice at one point, so quite a lot of my centres were bad.

time was 50:24.00 [22:13]

Decent first attempt.

 

[DGCubes]

Just did my first 5BLD attempt. Off by 8 wings, 4 T-centers, and 8 X-centers, in 39:52.

Not sure what exactly went wrong, but I have the video, so I'll watch the footage and find out where I messed up. I got really confused with wing parity at one point and ended up doing the alg like 3 times, thinking I made a mistake in it, and having to go back and undo those mistakes. Something probably went wrong there.

Are you going to upload it to DGsidequest?

Mayyyybe. I think I'd rather get a success and upload it to my main channel though. I plan on doing another attempt tomorrow if I have the time.

 

[sigalig]

Just DNFed a 4BLD solve by a 2 wing cycle that I overlooked in memo. If I saw it the time probably would have been shorter due to having no wing parity, and I would have had a 4:54 mo3 and 5:15 ao5.

4BLD pb mo3 and ao5 are still 7:01

 

[Gregory Alekseev]

7th attempt 7BLD, stupid DNF.
DNF(51:03.39[28:40.10])
Only 2 middle edges flipped(I did not notice this flip when memorised)
But I am a bit happy, because I solved all centers and wings correctly. Also memo was slow, because I memorised outer wings wrong two times. anyway its my fastest DNF. I will get a sub-50 or maybe sub-45 min success in next 1-3 attempts.

sigh
i recalled a letter pair incorectly on the last solve (i did BH instead of RU). i am very very sad
