Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Zane_C]

4BLD DNF with 3:40 memo (that's good for me).
Memorised the corners visually to finish the memo, just a few seconds into the execution I got to the third corner and went completely blank on where it had to go. :fp

 

[QCcuber4]

a perfect 3x3x3 solve, easy to memo, easy to solve, i don my blindfold (that was toronto sumer 10 btw) start solving, get to corners, and during a sune, i pop my BU edge... i try and reach for it. fml

 

[Yes We Can!]

4/5 (30:24)
On the second cube my fingers slipped on a U-perm. The second cube was unsolved.

4/5 in 32:04.

Only off by 3 edges on the 4th cube (to memorize).
Although I failed, it's the second time I solved 4 cubes blindfolded

Me and blake4512 double team BLD BLD BLD over tinychat 1/2. My cube was solved, his was off by lots...

18:22.44

So we both did the same scramble on 3x3, then I memo'd the cube like I was gonna do a BLD solve, then we both put blindfolds on, and I solved the cube BLD and said what moves I was doing.

Off by a 3 cycle :confused:

Wow, fast memo.
Did you get a new 4x4? I thought I had your only one (you said you could only practise 5bld now, because I took your 4x4)
I think your memo was 11:xy at MWO, sub 10 solve at Ausnats?

 

[Zane_C]

I've borrowed Felik's LanLan and as for sub 10 at Nats, I don't know, I just would like a success.

MultiBLD: 6/7 = 5 in 20:17.11

Memo was 11:03. The second cube was off by a 3-cycle of corners. I don't know what happened.

 

[cubedude7]

4x4 centers BLD: 15 out of 19 pieces solved in 8:32.72!!
I'm happy, I'm finally totally understanding the method and the mistakes I made in the beginning.
Actually, I don't see this as a fail, but also not as a succes xD. I see it as a level higher for me in 4x4BLD

You manage to transfer your bigcubebld speed to multibld...nice. I like memoing slow in multibld so that everything is safe. How many are you going for at nats? WR attempt definitely

My first attempts at 3x3x3 BLD since Toronto a week ago. I did some races with Joey that day after the competition was over, so those were my last attempts at 3x3x3 BLD before today. I've never gone anywhere near a week between 3x3x3 BLD solves before, so this was scary. I don't think I'll try it again anytime soon - I don't like not doing BLD solves.

16/25 correct, average time on correct solves of 1:46.36.

I guess I'm really pretty happy with the times - I didn't slow down. I just hate seeing all those DNFs. 5 DNFs in a row - absolutely hideous!

I still have at least 2 weeks to go in my promised break from big cubes BLD. I hope I can hold out - going cold turkey is just so hard.

Well obviously it doesn't work linearly, but I think 7 in 20 mins is a good start towards 17 in 60 mins, especially if he keeps improving like he has. Any idea how fast you could do 7?

 

[blah]

Nope. I don't practice multi.

I'm going to try either 7 or 10, I haven't decided yet. 10 is the most I can memo so far.

DNF(8:09.65)
The execution felt perfect, but it wasn't really close at all. The top layer corners were off by a U2, indicating that I didn't execute a commutator correctly. There were only 4 centers unsolved so it must of been one of the late cycles.

You said it wasn't really close at all, but the way you described it sounds close. Good job, unlucky though.

Only 3 corners Close. If you might try 10 at Aus Nats, you better get practising. I hope you get ready for 10 in time for Aus Nats. If you're trying 10, I volunteer to judge xD (unless I'm doing fmc while you're doing multi)

I've borrowed Felik's LanLan and as for sub 10 at Nats, I don't know, I just would like a success.

Well... it seems like you could get there in time

4/7 in 18:58

One cube was off by a 3 cycle of edges.
Another cube was off by 2 twisted corners, a 3 cycle of edges and a flipped edge.
The last cube was off by a 5 cycle and a 3 cycle of edges.

Memo was 9:53

 

[TMOY]

2/3 in 14:48, off by 2 flipped edges...
