Blindsolving Failure Thread

Barely know OP/OP, sat down for the first solve of the night determined to improve some, started memoing edges and the first scramble was ~5 2 swaps, buffer, and a solved edge. Gave up immediately

What are the odds of something like that happening?
 
My first real attempt, got the cycle quickly then memorize it. I'm about to begin when the teacher ask me a question, I answer and then go on execution. After I think 2 long minutes I put the cube on top of the table and see that I was holding it in the wrong orientation, I rotated it when the teachers asked me and I did not even noticed it ...
 
Rocky you and me are like in sync. We started doing bld right around the same time, our bld pbs are very close, and we both just did our first 3 cube attempt!

Woah, yeah we are! You wanna have a friendly race to see who can get a 5/5 multi success and a sub 3:00 3BLD ao5 first? I haven't done any more attempts today due to being busy with a new semester, but I plan to do at least two 3 cube multi attempts tomorrow.

Absolutely, that sounds great! I haven't been doing much bld lately, I'll have to change that.. :P
(I just realized, I have a list of goals for myself, and those are literally exactly what I wrote for bld and mbld! (except for I also put a sub-2 single as one of my goals.)

Awesome! Unfortunately I have done 4 attempts since my last post and have gotten 0/3 on all of them. They are always off by like two or three edges or corners.
 
Tried a 7 cube multi. DNF(37:29.90)[25 minutes].

First cube: two twisted corners
Second cube: edge 3-cycle, two flipped edges
Third cube: two swapped edges, two swapped corners, one twisted corner
Fourth cube: solved
Fifth cube: edge 3-cycle (forgot to do parity), 3 corners, one twisted corner
Sixth cube: solved
Seventh cube: two twisted corners

Time was much better than I expected though, I might try 9 next. Or maybe 7, but actually review cubes this time. I reviewed them in my head to check that I could remember memo, but didn't check whether my letters were right or not on the cube. On the second cube, they weren't.
I've still only had one n/n attempt
