Blindsolving Failure Thread

eeerghhhh...
9:11.94 4x4 Blindfolded DNF
A did a setup wrong somewhere at the beginning of the edges I think. Memo was 6 minutes and was really safe. I just executed too fast maybe, because I wanted to stackmat it...

 

[Gunnar]

4/5 in multi. I was just a threecycle edges off on one cube. I shot to UL instead of FL by some reason at one place.

I'd consider that fairly successful!

 

[Cuber3]

NOOO!!!

6:34 3x3 BLD DNF

I just thought I didn't have parity!

Thanks. Now after a few hours I'm quite happy with the result since my record is 3/3, so this is actually much better if one think about the ammount of solved pieces.

10:11.34 [4:35.42] 4x4x4BLD fail. Would have been a record by over a minute, but forgot 1 letter during edge execution so ended up with 2 edges wrong. If I had remembered it I wouldn't have had parity either so my time would have been even quicker (possibly sub-10!).

 

[Yes We Can!]

I have a question.
As in the case above:
Gunnar's previous PB was/is 3/3, and probably faster than this 4/5.
Which result is better?

3/3 = 3 solved - nothing unsolved = 3 points (faster time)
4/5 = 4 solved - 1 unsolved = 3 points (slower time)

I want to know, whether a faster time is better or more cubes solved is better (in competition)

In that case the faster is the better. Check out this page.

New DNF-record, 1:23.22 . That's 13 seconds better than my second fastest solve, but that was a success. I'll continue this fast, and som time I may not DNF.

First full atempt. Off by all corners and 3 edges. Full tap memo

 

[TMOY]

First official 5^3 BLD attempt (and 2nd ever) for me at Toulouse Open: DNF in 37 minutes (12 minutes memo), off by ~12 centers, all the rest was good.
At the same competition, 1/2 in a slow time at multi, would have been 2/2 if I hadn't forgotten parity on the second cube

Unlucky...a few centres off sounds like a pretty good effort! Were there any 4/5bld successes from anyone else at Toulouse?

 

[Yes We Can!]

I just attempted my first 4x4 BLD solve ever.

And, the result is actually pretty good.

All the corners are solved... :rolleyes:

At the edges, I failed by 2 wings. Although I actually already had solved them, and mistakenly swapped them after
(personally I consider it to be my first edges-only success )

At the centers I missed 4 pieces.

All in all, I am pretty pleased in fact, because I only started 3x3 BLD one month ago and 4x4 BLD 2 days ago.

Really, you must be stopped

At 4^3, only Clément. At 5^3, nobody (Sébastien was only 3 centers off...)

15:00.74 DNF
sub 15 fail, with 2 flipped edge pieces, resulting in an OLL parity on my UR side.

 

[Cuber3]

First attempt at 3 cube multi. Around 35 minutes memo. First cube, easy, done without many delays. Second cube, easy edges, on the parity alg, POP. My dad put the piece back in for me. Then I realized that I didn't know what I was up to in the alg. Then I gave up and ripped off the blindfold. The first cube was solved, and, yes, I know I should have tried the third cube to go for 2/3, but I was so annoyed.

Note to self: don't use loose Rubik's DIYs for BLD.

Like me at Aachen Open...

 

[Zava]

last day I had to wait ~2 hours at my university, so 5x5 bld.
it was 15:10 (like 8 min memo, and slow exec) DNF, off by 4 X and 4 + centers, and 2 wings.

 

[Mike Hughey]

I'm still trembling - what an experience.

My first attempt at speedBLD: 34.68 DNF.

Memorization time: 56:47.56.

Scramble: F D L' D2 F' B R B' R2 B' R B' F L U' B2 U2 B2 D' B' F2 R U2 L U2

Just 6 edge pieces were wrong. The problem was that I forgot to align my initial cross with the centers, so all four of those were off by 90 degrees. Then I realized I didn't need to trace the last edge piece for the OLL/PLL, so I didn't notice that I had the parity left for those. It would have worked if I had done the cross correctly.

Oh well - it's an amazing rush when you pull on the blindfold - even wilder than the feeling when pulling on the blindfold for a big multi.

I'll get the next one.
