Blindsolving Failure Thread

execution only

Apparently I can't read.

5BLD dry spell with a lot of DNFs, when a week or so ago I was on about 50% accuracy going quickly :/ Had 2 successful attempts from the last 13.

3BLD is still at about 80-90% and 4BLD is about 70% still! I fear I've picked up a bad habit somewhere and I can't tell where. From the damage that's left over it looks like incorrect set up moves, or failing to put back the l-slice properly after a set up/commutator.

5BLD dry spell with a lot of DNFs,

I feel your pain (although in 4BLD..)

Just finished this weeks BLD race: Accuracy 1/8 in 4 BLD
The single succesfull solve was number 7...

BUT don't worry, your accuracy will return eventually.

For me solve 8 was off just by two twisted corners, the next solve (1st of weekly comp) was a succes too.

So after 6 DNF's I just missed a twisted corner in 3 solves total

Thanks for the moral support

For me solve 8 was off just by two twisted corners...

My 5BLD solves are ending like this! And quite a few of the failures have ended when I've left with a two cycle where I've thought to myself "DONT FORGET THAT PAIR" x10. You get caught up in the commutators and thinking about not going wrong that you actually forget it :'(

Time for us to man up and get back on the horse!

Ok so I had three DNFs today off by a total of 2 T-perms, 4 Y-perms, and 4 random moves.

On the first one I finished with two twisted corners as well as two twisted edges.

On the second one I undid the LAST setup move incorrectly (it was only two moves:fp).

On the third one I was off by two twisted corners.

Still using OP, just hoping for my second success. So close three times!

I didn't know you did blind! What times do you get? (You can beat me at normal 3x3 but I'll take blind. )

The times were about 13 minutes for the second two and the first one was untimed. It's still a big improvement over my 22 minute first success though.

After a bit of a dry spell, to ensure a success I just spent 7 minutes on the memorization (as opposed to normal 3-5 for me) and I took off my blindfold to realize that I started my execution with the wrong color scheme

Again???

My failure is that I spent the last hour doing 3x3 solves.

Warmup: sub 1:00 every other solve.

Official: DNF, 1:23, DNF

6:30.11[2:46] Lost the scramble.

Orientation failure. :fp Took about 15s to find one I liked, panicked and changed my mind and couldn't decide until another 12s later. Cost me a PB.

I think I also had a case where I actually asked for an alternative alg on a forum. I resorted to r2 when I couldn't think of it which cost me sub-6.

Not much joy from the success at all tbh, you can see my disappointment.

EDIT: I won't be posting for a while until I've improved memo and execution, I've been excessive with the posts lately.

What were times for DNFs, and were they close to solved state?

1:30s. The first was off by a bunch of pieces. The third was off by a few.

4/11 MBLD....forgot so much edge memo.

 

[Noahaha]

I'm too cool to comment on my 1000th post because I'm Chris Olson, the coolest of the cool. *sunglasses*

1000!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Spoiler

HAHAHAHAHAHA WOW!!! LOLOLOLOL

But seriously, was it because you memorized words instead of images?

I completely forgot it was gonna be my 1000th...and I used tons of images, I just got lazy towards the end and skipped making images for a few letter pairs. Bad idea....

First 5 attempts of the BLD race: DNF(2:06.79)[3 edges], DNF(2:00.85)[3 edges], DNF(2:19.87)[3 corners], DNF(1:46.60)[2 corners], DNF(2:31.06)[6 corners, 7 edges]

First four I was so close... I thought were going to be solved honestly. Last sole I knew I messed up somewhere in the execution.

 

[Rubiks560]

Todays insanely epic failure:

2/10 MBLD...2 cubes were off by 2 flipped edges, one was off by 2 twisted corners, one was off by a M2, two cubes I forgot edge memo, and one cube had no corners solved (Did them in the wrong order) And the last cube I forgot to solve my last edge target.

I really need to get better at making images for my last 5 cubes.

EDIT: Time was 42:48.95

5x5BLD first attempt. 55:47.83

Off by 4 corners, 8 wings, 4 middle edges, and 2 x-centers. I think I would've had everything except for the 2 x-centers if I would've remembered to undo a set-up move during centers.

Yes, that sounds like it probably explains it. Nice first try!
