Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Mike Hughey]

8/10 multiBLD in 28:15.61.

Mismemorized one letter on cube 3. Didn't see a flipped edge on cube 9. No execution mistakes.

This is my second multiBLD attempt since January 29 (day before Washington DC Open 2010). First attempt happened about an hour ago It was 7/10 in 31 minutes (actually, more like 9/10 but I won't bother explaining). My brain is fried.

You have so much talent it's frightening.

I agree with Sarah - you should try at least 17 this weekend.

Just a normal 3x3 blindfolded solve, rubbish time, 7:30.29, off by 5 corners and 7 edges :fp

No idea what went wrong...

 

[MiloD]

1:17 bld DNF off by 3 edges. This is still pretty amazing for me. I had my pb yesterday.

 

[ben1996123]

Another failure:

3BLD in 5:17.44 DNF by 2 flipped edges, current pb is 5:30...

My reaction: YES!!!!!! <does x2 rotation> oh f***

To see the state of the cube after the fale, do:

L2 D2 L D' L' D' L2 U B D B' D' U'

 

[blah]

13/15 in 49:59. Don't have the exact time, but it was clearly sub-50.

Forgot and forgot. No execution mistakes.

I only have 15 cubes

Use big cubes but only turn the outer layers.

M2.

 

[Toad]

Just do 15 plus a 4bld... If you can do that, you can get WR

M2.

You MUST get two more by this weekend. No excuses.

5x5 BLD in 16:56!!!!! (from the weekly)

But AGAIN I slipped at the parity alg. I used edges parity alg instead of corners.
Then a couple of moves into it I realized what I was doing, but was so stunned at the stupidity
that I did not notice exactly where I was so I could backtrack.

It is as if I quit thinking when there's only parity algs left.

Wow! That's insane improvement all of a sudden! That must be so frustrating! I assume it would have been a massive pb?

Yes, it would have been PB with 4 minutes. But I've been practicing a lot of 5BLD last month (more than one each day) and have had perhaps 20 sub-20 dnf:s. But this was the third from weekly and it is easy. You'll see...
(and it was so infuriatingly close).

1:24.15 DNF with 2 edges swapped .

1:24.15 DNF with 2 edges swapped .

What? I assume you also mean two corners swapped as well

or flipped

Yeah basically a tperm away.

 

[@uguste]

I just did 6 solves in a row that were all off by two edges flipped :fp

 

[MatsBergsten]

More 5x5 BLD: 3-C central edges, 3-C wing edges off. 17:13!! (9:20)
This was not lucky. Double parity.
Now there just must come a successful sub-20 soon

 

[Feryll]

I finally solved all fifty-four pieces of the 4x4 Maru cube blindfolded! Wait, what's that you're saying, there are fifty-six pieces? *Looks at BRD and ULF corners*
O...m.....f....

Ahh! I was off by two twisted corners! That is pretty pathetic! I should have realized it wasn't in my corner cycles, and therefore I probably should have checked to see if it was twisted. And it was. I will get a victory soon, mark my words Jin!
