Blindsolving Failure Thread

[kinch2002]

10/11 51:33 [33:38] Forum comp 2010-35. Memo went nicely. During execution I kept catching myself shooting to the wrong corner sticker as I was trying to minimize pauses. Spent a minute working out an M slice commutator too (usually I just shoot to the relevant 2 out of UF, DB and UB when both in the pair are on the M slice even if one/both need flipping). Anyway, the unsolved (6th) cube looked like some sort of mistake(s) on edges as a few M slice pieces were out and the centres weren't right either. Overall, happy with memo, but exec wasn't good.

10/11 is still good I'll have to try 10 cubes this week.

1/2 MBLD going to post alot about my progress here... Total time 12:24.98 memo 8min33sec. Forgot to do an image (lol skipped out of memory). Overall happy my memo is getting faster and faster.

7x7BLD DNF, Memo 52, exec 39 = 1:30.44. Not the end of the year yet, Lars

Felt ok, possibly only one mistake with the parity alg. Had the S-slice
+-centers swapped (inclusive the U / D / R / L real centers) on L / R
and two large chunks of centers on U / D swapped. A few edges off that I
suppose stems from the same error. All in all not bad at all, this was my first
"real" try (the first one I dropped the cube after a minutes exec).

Memo no problem at all, surprisingly fast and secure. (I had to add some new
rooms, I have about 30 now).

I am not too happy about what slices to turn, the third and fourth slices are not too
easy to distinguish from each other. Perhaps comes with more familiarity with the
cube.

@Daniel, 10/11 in 51 minutes is good. You obviously got speed for two more .

My first full blindfold attempt. It was two edges flipped incorrectly, and the corners were like TOTALLY stuffed. I failed back then, (and I still kinda fail)

Hey Mats, I was just wondering, how many letters do you normally need to memorize for 7bld?

7BLD, gogogo.

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand your question. I've only memoed a 7x7 twice, so nothing is normal yet.
But 2x24 + 12 = 60 edges + 8 corners + 6x24 = 144 centers/obliques, so all in all 212 pieces.
(Of course a lot of centers are correct from the start (or after reorienting)), so say roughly
190-200 letters = ~100 "words" for me. (P/A/O)

It won't be hard for you

3/6 (44:44)
I think this is my first attempt at 6 cubes, I had some nasty execution errors I had to take precious time to undo.
Cube 1: off by a 3 cycle (I cycled these 3 pieces wrong and thought I undid it properly, obvously not.
Cube 2: after I put it down on my bed I realise I didn't flip the BL edge :fp, so I just estimated what orientation it was in. (I was off by a y' rotation)
cube 3: 2 twisted corners, no idea. :confused:

I thought putting them on my bed would of been a good idea, as they're out of the way and I won't mistakenly pick up already solved cubes (I sit on a swivel chair so i can sometimes swivel and pick up the wrong cubes)

Good to see you trying again, Mats! It looks like you're a little faster than I was when I started - I think it took the third or fourth try for me to get down to 1:30 (if I remember right).

MBLD 1/2 13:23 (9:30 memo) ... One cube off my twisted corner. Shot to wrong sticker, altough my memo was correct! :-/

I really feel a new joy for MBLD!

 

[MrMoney]

MBLD 3/4 43:14 (33:00 memo) last cube off my 3cycle of corners and 3cycle of edges. Not well enough memorized, forgot the images.

FUN!!! But I have used the locations that much that it is starting to feel clustered. Need a little break from MBLD, but It is sooo hard Want to do 6/6...!

 

[Keroma12]

Multi - BLD 0/2 in 19:19.31, both off my 3-cycles, but was my first sub-20 attempt, which is what I'm aiming for of course.

3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 6/10 = 2 in 38:23.19
Comment: One cube was off by 2 twisted corners, another was off by 3 edges, and two others were several pieces off. The memo on this was 19:05. I forgot which order to solve the last 4 cubes in, so if I'd done it right the first time, this could have been 9/10 in like, 33:xx.

Cross-posting ftw.

I need to work on the order of my routes :fp

 

[Zane_C]

You'll get it eventually, just persist.

5/6 in 44:22
The part that fails so much is I know exactly what I did wrong, I missed out on the final corner target of cube 4. At the last minute of revision I did a memo adjustment to fit in that target and still failed.

4/6 in 34:02
Trying to get back into multi >_<
2nd cube was off by 2 flipped edges, 4th cube was off by a 3-cycle of corners.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

I am learning edges for blind. I did the cycle, and I had 6 flipped edges.
