Blindsolving Failure Thread

Ooh, nice try. Hopefully you'll get one before Canadian Open.

Btw, what method and what orientation?

i think ill get it consistently before CO
OP/M2 WR

 

[RyanReese09]

Is MBLD practice allowed? This is tempting, because I'm really just going for any official result, so official fails won't bother me...

Depends. I won't be doing any more MBLD attempts (I just can't be bothered) before Nats.

If you want to do MBLD practice, you can, I guess :3.

Cool, 'cause I need it if I want any kind of success officially. But, no 3BLD...

My failure:

Haven't practiced since my last competition. :fp

I told myself I'd practice lots this summer but I get so carried away with other things that I barely get any in. Oh well.

First attempt: Scramble F2 R2 D' L' U2 B' D L D' F' R F2 D F2 D2 B' F R2 L2 B2 L2 D2 R' B F

Method: Old Pochmann
z2 Rotation
Corners LDB RDB LFD RFD. Top corners were all in position and misoriented. Front two face forward back two face back.
Edges RW GY WG BO GR BW YR WO. GO and WY to be oriented afterwards
Mistake: I sent BW to BY position in my memo, which resulted in mixing BW BY and BR.
Time: 8:54.45

 

[Rubiks560]

1/2 multi blind. Off by two twisted corners, this means my last 5 attempts have been off by either, 2 flipped edges, or 2 twisted corners

 

[Julian]

10:41.96 DNF
Off by 2 centers, memo'd a letter wrong :fp
Would have been PB by ~50 seconds.

 

[aronpm]

4bld: 4:02.87 (success)

(on a more serious note: dnf 2:40 off by 2 2cycles of wings)

I suck so hard at BLD. Can't even do 2x2. Here's 3 epic fails...

 

[BC1997]

I have had 7 straight solves without solving one cube BLD, does this ever happen to you?

 

[chardison1980]

i have a question, ive started to work on bld with in the last couple weeks, and i and using old poch, for my solves, only using the T-perm, for edges, a short m2 perm to finish ub, and uf, and then using the Y-perm for my corners,

what is the best way to try and figure out my mistakes, when posting them on here, do i keep track of my scrambles, and post them with either my successes or failures.
or is there a site i can go to that i can get a random scramble from?
thanks.

i had my first attempt at a full bld solve and DNF, i think i forgot to undo one of my setup moves, on one of my corners.

 

[RNewms27]

Normally you can remember your memo long enough to write it down afterwards, you could rescramble and solve it eyes-open to see if it was your memorization or just undoing a setup move.

 

[cmhardw]

Here is a highly structured method you can use to help determine what you did wrong on a DNF solve.

 

[Tao Yu]

DNF in Mac Donalds surrounded by lots of people.

Lol Blake told me That I got the corners right so its a DNF even if I didn't forget two of my targets.

arrg

 

[Cool Frog]

8:20 DNF (SUCCESSFULLY FASTER!!!)
Failed at a cyclic shift... (one turn)
and didn't do edge flip

Memo(this is so fun haha):
ChEcky (CE)KiBitzers(KB) NaSa (NS) sent the WrongPerson(WP) (E)
GoSh(GS) (AV) PICK JUSTIN!! (PJ) (N)
UL flipped

my method for memo is so lulz

Is it wrong that I am not feeling depressed by all these DNF's?
1/~30 success rate?

 

[Rubiks560]

Four, 4x4 blind DNF's.....I have not stopped since I learned

 

[TheMachanga]

NOOOO

2:03.77 BLD, off by a 3 corner cycle. :fp. Almost my first sub 2.

 

[gbcuber]

first 4bld attempt ever, off by 6 edges, don't know what I did wrong, but not too shabby for a first attempt
