Blindsolving Failure Thread

I did 100 solves in about 3 days a few weeks ago. Didn't make much difference apart from my memo dropping about a second.

The same here. I did 120 solves in the last 3 days and two multi bld attempts. My first Avg5 was 1:32. My best Avg5 during the 120 solves is 1:29. And my last Avg5 is 1:35. So basically no improvement.

4BLD in 6:51 (2:10 memo), off by 2 corners...

It might be that the improvement will show the next time you practice. Because you can't claim that practice doesn't make you better? Or maybe your point is that you're (as a general any one) not improving as much when doing in bunches?

5BLD DNF(23:28)
Off by 2 x-centers and 2 wings. The 2 wings were swapped simply because i didn't see that they needed to be swapped. The 2 centers however remain a mystery.

Wow fast. Unlucky
I had 3 DNFs for the weekly comp, none all that close (last 2 solves had extremely similar corner memo, a little confusing) and first one I DNF'd after 20~s as corners were really annoying

2-5 BLD relay DNF(1:01:17):fp
Quite ashamed of the time and result, hence why I'm posting it in here.
2x2 and 3x3 were solved.
4x4 was off by 3 corners. :confused:
5x5 was off by a lot, must off messed up a center comm.

Amazing job none the less. Great job. Hopefully you get it soon. Maybe I should try a 2x2-3x3 relay

 

[Zane_C]

Thanks, you would definately be capable of doing a 2x2-3x3 relay, give it a shot.

Clock multiBLD 0/2 in 12:33.47

Yeah I cant do multi...

First was off by 1 edge, 2nd was off by 5 edges 4 corners and 1 centre -.-

3bld takes me 5 minutes, but 3multibld (most likely 0/2) takes me half an hour

23 DNFs in a row

 

[Tim Major]

4bld:
DNF 28m. 2 dedges. F2, PLL parity, F2.
This was the second weekly scramble. First was too hard, and gave up after a few minutes. This one, centre memo was really easy to remember, same with edge. Corners, even with hard memo, are a gimme. 4 pieces, out of 56 wrong :'(
I felt extremely confident. I setup to the edge parity alg wrong, so I swapped the other two edges.
Man, words can't justify my extreme annoyance
Oh well... there's always next week... :'(

 

[Zane_C]

Weekly comp 43 results, the event I'm least skilled at (2BLD) is the only event I'm slightly satisfied with.

EXTREMELY BAD BLD RESULTS!!!
2x2x2 BLD: DNF, 1:06.04, 37.98 = 37.98
3x3x3 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
4x4x4 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
5x5x5 BLD: DNF, DNF, DNF = DNF
3x3 Multi BLD: = 6/10 (58:59)
2-3-4-5 Relay: = DNF(1:01:17)

13/14 in 50 minutes (32 minutes memo). Horrible attempt. So many execution pauses. Off by two disoriented edges btw.

Still a lot to practice i guess :/.

Tim: How fast can you do 10?

Tim: How fast can you do 10?

Probably around 30 minutes. I think i know what you're up to btw .

 

[joey]

I don't know what I'm up to!

Except for trying to get you to do 10/10 in 25mins.

This is starting to get a little frustrating.

Square-1 multiBLD, third attempt: 9/10, 1:21:58.36 [48:55 memorization]
Third puzzle was off by just 2 corners.

My second attempt from last week I didn't even bother to report because it was so bad: 6/10 in 1:32:49.55 [55:30 memo]. But one nice thing is that my times are really coming down fast! 10 in an hour might just be possible for me someday. But not by next week, unfortunately. (sad because it means I can't do 10 in negative time - at least not this year)

Man 14 dnf's in a row I suck

 

[~Adam~]

1st attempt at 3x3 BLD. With GF watching to tell me if/where I mess up, I get to the parity and half way through the alg my hands just start free styling.
I couldn't undo what they'd done.

1 more try before bed.
edit - 2nd was a success

 

[Zane_C]

8/11 (55:26.05), memo was around 36.

- 3 cycle of corners
- 2 flipped edges
- 4 edges and 4 corners, something big went wrong here.

Despite the lack of accuracy, I am pretty satisfied with the time.
