Blindsolving Failure Thread

I feel for you - those are so demotivating. But in my experience, often a disaster like this is followed by a full-on success. Good luck with your next try - I'm sure you'll get one soon!

Lars those happen, no worries man. Just remember the golden rule for big cube BLD, especially for 6x6 and 7x7: Any practice is good practice, no matter the outcome.

Thank you for your encouragements Chris and Mike. I think I'll reserve a few hours for my next attempt this thursday. I feel motivated already

Isn't this a deja vu? Because I've read exactly this not very long ago!

Then there's the other golden rule; The more you struggle for something, the better it feels when you make it! Keep fighting!

Maybe this is more an accomplishment, but unfortunately it feels more like a fail to me:

7/8 MultiBLD at MPEI Open 2010 in 1:00:00

I had perfectly solved 7 whole cubes and corners + 4 edges of the last cube, but wasn't able to recall these last few edges. I tried to recall them for like 1-2 minuten but was tabbed on my shoulder then because time was over. I'm very angry about this, because Memo felt secure during all the other cubes.

Special remarks:

- This is my first try at 8 cubes. I decided to try 8 after it took me "only" 51 minutes to try 7 (5/7, 2 flipped edges twice) at Dutch Nationals.
- Still my highest amount of cubes tried outside of an official attempt is 3 cubes

 

[tim]

13/15 in 46:15 minutes (29:30 minutes memo).

Again only (stupid!) execution mistakes:
- flipped FL instead of BL with my buffer
- slipped during M2

I really hope this is true

Any practice is good practice, no matter the outcome.

since today i got something like 14 DNFs. Every kind of mistake: wrong memo, wrong memo recall, wrong setups, wrong algs, forgotten parity, edges flipped, corners misoriented... and also once i took the cube with white in F instead of U. Anyway, the last solve was a succesfull 2:45.92, which is a pretty good time for me

 

[riffz]

1:58 DNF at Toronto Fall. I forgot to do the M2 parity fix between edges and corners. Other than that, memo and execution were perfect. Everyone failed their first attempt so Dave let those who DNFed under 3 mins have another attempt but I blew that one as well.

 

[porkynator]

2:42.24 Mean of 3:
2:58.11 2:22.65 2:45.97
Very good for me

ooops sorry

18/20 in 1:05 (40 minutes memo)

I went rather slow for memo. So sub-30 memo should be pretty easy.

 

[aronpm]

wtf

 

[RyanReese09]

using new memo method
12:23.75 DNF (for just edges) (yea i'm slow)
Memo was like 8:30 which is 2ish minutes faster then my previous attempt

2 flipped edges, meh. still debating on a 2nd room for corners, or doing sound outs for them
i'm thinking 2nd room to be honest..such a powerful system it is..
memo will get so much faster when I get accustomed to lettering, right now I have to go through the alphabet until i reach the sticker for my memo :-/

Oh, yeah - nice job! Remember, the 20/20 needs to happen in competition - it's no good getting it at home.

Or since you can sub-30 memo, maybe you should just skip to 24/24 and put that old record out of its misery.

@ Tim: That's amazing! Why did you only do 12 in Munich?
24/24 would be absolutely awesomely amazing, but somewhat unrealistic, I guess.

Thanks, Mike. I can't memorize 20 cubes in under 30 minutes, yet. I guess i'm around 35 minutes on a good day. I said it's easy because it'll just take some practice . Therefore i also started memorizing cards this weekend. First attempt was about 8 minutes and my PB is currently 4:56 minutes (fourth attempt).

@ Tim: That's amazing! Why did you only do 12 in Munich?

Because i hadn't practiced for ages. Ask Kai or Hubi about my performance on Friday evening. I even struggled getting 4/4 in under 10 minutes (my results were 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4).

24/24 would be absolutely awesomely amazing, but somewhat unrealistic, I guess.

Amazing: yes. Unrealistic: not at all. I've recently met a few memory sportsman at the "Memo Masters" (German Memory Championship). Their results are what i would call unrealistic .

Wow, it's nice to see you making such good progress with memorizing cards! Maybe I should try again - I did a couple of attempts a while ago and then decided I was too slow and didn't bother anymore.

And I am looking forward to the 24/24 someday. I know you can do it. The biggest question is whether someone else will beat you to it or not.

Have you tried to get them to learn BLD?
