Blindsolving Failure Thread

literally. just. got. two. 7. alg. scrambles. in. a. row.

17 on the first solve and DNF on the second one

was so upset that i deleted the scrambles lol, it could've been 14 14 if i was actually focused during that session
 
I DNFed a 24 earlier this month but was so upset I didn't post anything about it yet.
Can't find the scramble in my session but if I do I'll post it.
It was off by a random two edge swap that I missed and UB and UL because I thought I had parity but didn't. :(
I think the scramble was as I executed it [8'/6'] but was suppose to be 12'/6'ish I think.
 
Triple dnf for 3bld at malaysia cube open, oops

Dnfed 5bld... missed a chance for an easy win there, i wish i can succeed at 5bld

9/11 mbld, literally tragic, I just want a perfect result :( this was my fault tbh, didnt do an mbld attempt since my last official one
 
3 corners away from sub 20

6/10 c/e

:( would have been 2nd sub20 ever and also PB (current PB is 19.82)

Fun fact: On BLD I never do +2s..... ever

Still, despite the fail, I'm quite happy with this! Sub7 memo, and sub13 execution (12.4!). Both PBs

Attempted a 36 cube multibld in comp today.......
everything went swimmingly until I skipped 4 rooms in my memory palace during exec :(
Could have been much worse, but I did indeed notice my mistake after applying the incorrect memo to four cubes, so I continued on by applying that same 4 room memo to the next four cubes correctly.

Ended up being 28/36 in 58:29. Could have been a decent result (32/36) if I didn't make that ridiculously stupid mistake on four cubes.
 
went for 1pass memo, accuracy is literally trash. Mistakes are always 3 or less pieces, which is actually frustrating at this speed (for me) fml

Most of my BLD attempts are failures and not really worth writing about, but this one I did earlier gets an Honorable Mention: I was on my fifth letter pair for the edges when I "realised" I might have left out the third letter pair, gave up on the attempt, looked at the cube, and then I saw that I didn't leave it out… The reason I thought I didn't do the edge comm for that pair because I was thinking of the wrong commutator (which I indeed didn't do).

The two attempts before that one were a 4c4e DNF (2-cycles, so probably off by a B2 in execution) and a 3c DNF (recalled one corner wrongly).

The beautiful thing about blind is that no matter how hard you work, how much you learn, how fast you get; you can always find new ways to screw it up.
