When I tried to solve a 3x3 cube blindfolded, I couldn't get past the cross.

You shouldn't solve a cube blindfolded the same way you would solve it normally, far too many pieces are moving all over the place for you to keep track of. I'd recommend watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT2UBYhX5uM

12/16 in 54:43.88 (34:39)
Other than the poor accuracy, I'm quite disappointed with the execution speed.
I did a very brief post-mortem:
Cube 3: Labelled a sticker with the wrong letter (I instead of L). :fp
Cube 7: Memorised WJ (chocalate wedge), but recalled it as FJ (fudge).
Cube 8: Memorised correctly, execution error.
Cube 14: Memorised correctly, execution error.

I've been doing multiBLD for ages, but haven't really taken it seriously, or tried to get better. I want to try 12 at the competition in 2 weeks.
I do 4x4 and 5x5BLD, but I haven't had a 5x5 success yet. (Only done about 6/7 attempts)
Oh, ok.Whats your best result in multi?
Good luck for the 12 cubes then.

3 DNFs at SJC. 2nd cube was closest, 2 flipped edges that were swapped, and 2 swapped corners. Wonder where my memo was incorrect :confused:

14/16 at Aachen Open.
One cube was off by an F turn (+ all corners in that layer were unsolved, so i forgot to undo a setup move in the middle of corner solving). The other cube was off by a corner 3-cycle. I don't know what went wrong. It might be some confusion with the multi attempt from the day before.
5x5x5 DNF in 18:xx. Cycled three x-centers in the wrong direction. Would've been NR.
5x5x5 DNF in 20:xx. Yep, the same mistake :/.
That leads me to another failure: I have way too few journeys for competitions. I had to use half of them twice :/.

14/16 in 50:36.51 (30:47) - weekly comp scrambles.
Cube 4: Memorised correctly, execution mistake. (I slipped on a U perm, I'd say that's the cause)
Cube 16: This should've definitely been a success, I just did a very stupid mistake at the end. I did label a corner incorrectly, but I quickly figured out the error and fixed it. Now for the mistake, (which is worded quite badly):
I had 9 corner targets:
SK AM (a skeleton wrapped in ammunition)
IC JD (A frozen jedi)
The final target was G which shares the same corner as C, thus making the pair GC which is geek. (This geek was inspecting the jedi and rambling about starwars)
To get 9 targets I had to have broken into a new cycle. G shares the same corner as C and F, so this means I would've needed to break into the cycle via shooting to either C or F. I couldn't recall shooting to C or F to break into a new cycle, so I assumed I labelled G incorrectly and shot to the wrong spot :fp.
Obviously I did shoot to C, I don't know how I missed it.

Sorry, but for me, 48 minutes for a serious, possibly successful attempt is what is wow. You and Tim are both amazing.

14th cube of by 3 edges.
I memorised the cycle correctly as UF > FR > BL, for some reason I executed it as UF > BR > BL.
I like it how the memorising and recalling felt really slow, halfway through the memo I was getting worried that this might be a dud attempt - where I barely make the time limit.
