Blindsolving Failure Thread

[G2013]

0/5 MBLD in 17 minutes, then a couple of days afterwards,
2/5 MBLD in 17 minutes too.

Those were my first 5 cubes attempts, so I am not suprised they went like that. Either way, they are failures lol

the unsolved cubes "look" partly solved, though.

7BLD DNF(17:07.11)[7:53.24]
I just missed one letter while memo =(

Spoiler: vid

17 minutes?!?! Blimey.

MBLD: 33/42 in 1:00:42 [37:45 memo]

bad accuracy and slow memo, lost concentration a bit.

screwed up one of the easiest scrambles I've ever seen

Please Be Quiet 2017 was just announced, and I got really excited and decided that my goal for MultiBLD is 20/20. Went for 20 cubes and got 11/20 in 1:13 lol. Going over time was expected, but I felt like I would get at least 15 of the cubes right so that was dissapointing. On the bright side however, all of the DNFed cubes were off by 1 of the following: two flipped edges; two twisted corners; a 3 cycle of corners; a 3 cycle of edges. (with the exception of one with a 3 cycle of edges+parity)
The comp is in 2 months so I definitely think with some practice I can definitely have a chance at 20/20.

Actually that's not bad and a really realistic goal (Given that all I did was spam practice everyday).

Maybe being able to do more than your target goal is also a little safer (i.e. 21 or 22 cubes unofficial)

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but sometimes when i do 3BLD i i use Z as S or C.
So for example if i have ZD i would sometimes use the word sand, but then when i start executing
i'm not sure if the target is Z or S and that can result in a DNF, this is just an example. it's the same for C Q and K. do you have any tips to prevent it?

PS. i use images

Yeah, if I can get 20/20 before the comp I'll try more, that would definitely make me feel a little better about the official attempt. Though I'll have to buy even more 3x3s lol.
On that note, I got 5 mf3's recently for multi, and the mf3 is seriously impressive for a budget cube. It's totally satisfactory for multibld purposes, just in case anybody on here was considering a bulk buy for multibld.

Is this for images or audio?

17 minutes?!?! Blimey.

Yeah blimey indeed. I can't even do a 5BLD in that.

Am I the only one that thinks this thread is redundant? So many of the things posted here are accomplishments not failures, even if they are not technically BLD successes. When somebody misses a sub-30 3BLD ao12 by one DNF I'm afraid that is not a "failure" in my book. Maybe this should be merged with the accomplishment thread to give a single BLD "progress" thread?

bld failures, no matter how good, are failures. Bld'ers are insane. It must be perfect for it to be a success. Failures are a good way to track progress separately from successes. My pb 4bld dnf is a 3:48, but I wouldn't go around people telling that, i'd tell them my pb is 4:19 bc it was a success.

don't trust blders they're cray cray

I think you'll change your mind when you hear this fail:
mean of 3: DNF

Time List:
1. 1:01.79 R U R' B U2 D L' U B2 R F2 L' B2 R' D2 B2 U2 L2 F Rw Uw2
2. 52.98 L' B' U2 L2 B2 L U F' L U R2 F2 B2 R2 U B2 U B2 R2 U' Rw' Uw
3. DNF(1:00.80) F R' B2 R2 D2 R2 F2 L B2 F2 R' D' F2 L' D' B' U2 L2 R Fw' Uw'

DNF was off by two flipped edges. Would have been a 58.53 mo3, whereas my current PB is 1:05.81

1. DNF(20.69) U2 R D2 R' U2 B2 L2 D2 L F2 D2 B U L D' U' B L U F' R2

off by 2 edges
aw man

 

[GenTheSnail]

MBLD PB fail
4/6 57:10.40[48:56.92]

One cube is off by a 3cycle of edges. I don't know why but okay.

The fail is that on my normal BLD solve, I completely forgot to solve corners. After I took off my blindfold, I saw that I hadn't done corners, quickly put it back on and solved the corners. Would have added ~30 seconds to the attempt, but still been sub PB.


If I can improve enough, I really really want to go for 7 cubes at MCC Alpha 2017. (Because then I'm sup Feliks, have a buffer of one cube for Nats qualification, and a very small chance of podium[If I get 7/7])

 

[sigalig]

6:36.15 [3:14.68] 4BLD off by 2 centers
Woulda been PB by 16 seconds

 

[Heart_Johnson]

4bld: 4:11.05
failure bc it could've been a sub 4, but i had a super nasty edge pop. The two edges came out, and then the internal edge wanted to come out too, but i managed to shove it back in (but i had to remove the smaller internal edge and then continue the solve lol)
