Blindsolving Failure Thread

My failure: 6/8 in 36:15 (27:01)

The first 4 or so cubes were really hard to memo, and my images weren’t really that “good”. The last ones had really nice images, and my memo was about 2 and a half minutes for each cube, which is pretty good for me.

I’ll type out the memo here because I’m bored.

Cube 1
Edges: GPAUNFLIBCWC Flip T
Corners: WUGANK P needs to be rotated clockwise

Cube 2
Edges: MLBWDEUPI Flip T
Corners: IKXSB M – Anticlockwise P - clockwise

Cube 3:
Edges TNOIVGFNLAK
Corners: JOKPSQCGB V needs to be rotated clockwise

Cube 4
Edges: UEKTCBPJGMWN
Corners: AJROUL G and V need to be rotated anticlockwise

Cube 5:
Edges: DSVGMFPIBXL
Corners HWJPAMC
(Finally no flipped stuff :p)

Cube 6:
Edges: VPSWGBJNEDLM
Corners: JWTGMQ A needs to be rotated clockwise

Cube 7:
Edges: IVASNGKEMDWOC
Corners: Visual, but it was headlights top back, chameleon bottom back
Then D2 R2 E perm R2 D2
Then 3-4-8
Parity was 3-7

Cube 8
Edges: Audio – can’t remember them.
Corners: Sune top front, bowtie bottom left
1-5-6
R2 y E perm y’ R2

Anyway, the 2 mistakes I made were very small, and my memo was perfect, which is good to know.

Cube 7 – KEM
I forgot to shoot to E, resulting in the M slice being off, along with a few edges.

Cube 1- GP
I accidentally mirrored this, for some unknown reason, so instead of shooting to UL – FR I shot to UR – FL, resulting in 6/7 edges being unsolved.

I’ll try this again tomorrow, and if I get it I’ll bump it up to 10 cubes :p.
 
Was attempting a lot of multi today. :fp

3/10 in 29:5x, memo ~20mins:
Couldn't have rushed execution any more, still that's no excuse as to why I got such a terrible result. If I didn't pop the last one, the full time would've been more like 30-31.
6/7 in 20:xx:
Forgot what edges needed to be flipped.

Also, probably half a dozen failed 5 cube attempts averaging ~13mins. The best result was 3/5 in 11:47.49, very happy with the time but the accuracy is what counts.

Oh god..this pissed me off.

7:38.07(3:43.39) DNF by 4 corners. I somehow couldn't remember my corner memo properly and did a little guessing..now I'm pissed I didn't take the extra few seconds to refresh on the memo
 
4 consecutive 5x5 BLD DNFs including all from weekly competition 2001-2.
The first one was off by 2 +centers and wing parity (forgot to do it). Time was 26:49.
Second one was not very close because I messed up a comm for centers. Time was 28:xy.
Third one was exactly the same as the second one (comm fail). Time was 34:44.
Fourth one was 2 +centers off. Time was 32:44.

Also, I DNF'd the first 2 4x4 BLD this week, haven't tried the 3rd one, yet.

I'm extremely pissed and frustrated right now. :tu

EDIT: Make that five. 31:xy off by 2 +centers.
EDIT2: Six. 30:57, 4 +centers. <3<3<3<3 +centers. This time I was 100% sure I got at least them correct.
EDIT3: Seven. 30:22. 2 +centers. This is ****ing pathetic.

To wrap it up:

I did 1 5x5 BLD attempt yesterday.
It was off bye wing parity and 2 +centers.

I did 6 5x5 BLD attempts today.
The first 2 where DNF due to me messing up a +center-commutator.
The next 2 where DNF by 2 +centers.
The next 1 was DNF by 4 +centers.
The next 1 was DNF by 2 +centers.

I have a feeling that I and +centers will become very good friends.

4th and final EDIT: Hahahaha, I'm an idiot, a stupid, stupid idiot. For the U-face +centers (grr I hate that word now) I cycled Buffer-Ulm-Urm/Buffer-Ulm-Urm instead of Buffer-Ulm-Target/Buffer-Urm-Target.
I'm really relieved that it's just such a minor mistake.

EDIT5:
lol, I just did another attempt, not timed... I took it really slowly with memo to make it stick really well in my head.
When I was doing xcenters a wing POPed out... I carefully finished the setup and then started searching the piece. I think it was on the table but then I heard it falling down.
So I had to feel around on the floor which made me feel like an idiot. xD
At least I succeeded the solve. Finally another success.
Got it on tape, too...so, if anybody wants to see me crawling on the ground, I'll upload it. ^^

Ugh, that's the worst! It's agonizing being so close!

I used to make the mistake of trying to fix twisted corners first, accidentally twisting the corner currently in the buffer, and being off by two non-buffer corners... pissed me off so much :P
