Blindsolving Failure Thread

That was last saturday:
multi 19/24 in 2:34:21
Biggest effort so far.

I was a bit unlucky on one cube as a corner twisted during execution (one cube had only one twisted corner). That cube is a new one and I did not knew yet how easy it is to twist a corner.

Wow, that's very nice! I remember when it took me that long to do 15.

Haha, you seem to have no life at all! Seriously, nowadays i have no idea how someone can find motivation for doing so many cubes.

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.

Aron's bests are 7/7 and 7/10 right? So you just got the most amount of cubes right in multi, in Oceania! :P
Good job, and 3rd cube is just a turn off I'd say (as kinch's post). Great job btw, that's insane.
 
4x4 BLD attempt using r2:

19:02.36 DNF.
It was my first attempt since Euro 2010 where I DNF'd both of my attempts. There I used the single-wing-swap alg for edges. Now I finally decided to switch to r2, since it's so easy and I already use M2 on 3x3 anyway.
The cube was off by just 3 edges, the rest was solved. Even though I was a bit disappointed when I saw the cube right after pulling off the blindfold, I'm actually quite happy about the fact that I solved all wings (none were solved by the scramble). Had all possible parities for the method I'm using :p
First weekly-45 scramble. I might do the others as well.

EDIT: I also want to note, that it feels decently fast now when I'm executing my edges. The time is still very slow but once I get used to memorizing the 4x4 again, I will be getting faster, I'm sure. Current PB is 14:2x. :)
 
Are you going to practise now, because I told you about my DNF? :p
And only 3 edges unsolved is pretty good for about 1 month no practise.

Hopefully I will have success at Dutch Nationals!

Today I am 29 years old, so I decided to do this:
multi 25/29 in 3:19:08 (2:30:02)

To start at 9pm was not a good idea... I get tired midway memorization. Look like I got confused during some execution and shoot at wrong place.
 
5bld dnf from last night: dnf 11:25, 5:49 memo. Off by 2+2 x centers and 2 + centers. First attempt in ages.

Happy birthday! And nice try - really a pretty good result! (And no, I'm not going to try 49 in March. :))

Yeah, you motivated me :p
I meant 3 centers, though. (typo) Later the day, I realized that I just forgot to execute them :fp I had memorized them perfectly.
Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, I got a MUCH faster success just now :D:D:D

EDIT: Happy Birthday, Micael. Amazing job, nonetheless!
EDIT2: Just tried the 3rd weekly-scramble. 18:xy, 3 wings off. That was because I executed a wing that I hadn't even memorized (it was already solved -.-). My last 3 attempts:
DNF (3 centers) because I forgot to exec them
success
DNF (3 wings) because I did one wing when I wasn't supposed to even 'touch' it :p

4bld DNF: 4:04.65 (~1:30 memo). Off by 3 wings.

Starting to get back into 4bld after a break for exams. :)
