Blindsolving Failure Thread

[drewsopchak]

You're doing it again. Unless I am horribly mistaken your comment was meant to imply that my advice was useless.

You're horribly mistaken.

 

[Noahaha]

You're horribly mistaken.

Alright, well then be careful what you imply, intentionally or otherwise. When you said "he messed up his parity algorithm" it seemed like you meant "All he did was mess up his parity algorithm, so why are you telling him to do so many sighted solves?" If that's not what you meant, then what was the point of that post?

Just because I might recommend something else doesn't mean that your advice is "useless"

Calm down.

Sub-15 4BLD which went quite well, bad part was the bit i force upon my memo the most, two misorienred corners, near PB by 4 minutes, not a happy cuber me

 

[rock1313]

5th attempt 6x6 blindfolded

DNF (1:05:04.70) off by 31 pieces

A positive thing about the solve is that all the obliques are done. Must of slipped an R during the edges because most of them are messed up. If all the edges were right, it wouldn't of been solved anyway because 7 outer X centers weren't solved as well.

Another attempt tomorrow

 

[PianoCube]

3BLD: Did my first sub 4 minutes memo, then managed to forget some of the edge memo. Result? I sat around two minutes during the solve doing nothing but trying to remember the memo. It became a 8 minutes DNF, while it probably could have been a 6 minutes solve and also a PB by a minute.

pb, but fail @sub1 :/

6th attempt 6x6 blindfolded

DNF (1:04:22.59) by 9 pieces

3 obliques, 3 other obliques and 3 edges

Getting Warmer!

Another attempt tomorrow

7th attempt 6x6 blindfolded

DNF (1:02:20.26) by 25 pieces

maybe another attempt tomorow

EDIT

8th attempt 6x6 blindfolded

DNF (1:15.54.85) RAGE QUIT

I just could not remember anything tonight, I wont do anymore attempts until after Nationals.

So close! Keep going and you'll get it one day really soon!

9/10 MultiBLD in 57:53.45

I will forever be two flipped corners away from 100% accuracy >_________>

 

[Cubenovice]

N8W8 solves:

3BLD:
DNF, off by everything + by not donning the blindfold (that what you get for practicing without...)
3:47.02 official PB
DNF, during memo I found parity in corners but not in centers????? Checked a few times and could not figure it out...

4BLD
1- DNF, off by everything
2- DNF, of by L2 and last edge cycle (missed during memo)
3- DNF by Old Pochman Fail (centers and edges were initially OK, but some paired edges misplaced by OP corner exec failure)

5BLD:
1- DNF, off by everything
Prolly ***ed up at the very beginning; I made two moves, realised they were not right and probably undid them wrong....0
Then at the M2 stage I completely forgot my story... went ahead to corners and revisited midges but could still not recall.
Analysis after the solve showed I also missed the last +center cycle during memo.

MBLD:
DNS by 1h+ traffic jam

Official count: 4x BLD dnf, 1x 5BLD dnf

 

[TMOY]

N8W8 too.

4BLD: three attempts in the high 7-low 8 range, two of them off by 2 centers, the third one off by 6-7 centers or so. GRRRRRRRRR.
5BLD: did only one attempt, also off by a few centers in the sloooooooooooow time of 27 minutes.
Multi: 5/13 in 53 minutes, memo was perfectly secure but I did too many execution mistakes.

At least I won the 3BLD event.

1/2 multibld in 11:29.16

2 twisted corners :/ 4th attempt at multibld ever, every one has been 1/2, but in a faster time. 2nd unofficial attempt at multibld.

 

[CHJ]

4BLD success and decreased time by 6 minutes, wheres the fail? The previous 30 BLOODY ATTEMPTS WITH 2 PIECES OFF EACH!

Multi-5BLD

0/3 56:14.xx :fp

Third cube memorised, solved first: forgot to undo an interchange move of a midge commutator = 7 pieces out. Otherwise would've been solved.
Second cube memorised, solved second: out by 5 centres, 3 midges and a corner cycle which I forgot.
First cube memorised, solved last: 2 wings and 3 midges. Should've remembered the parity fix because I had to save it until the end in order to save the centres (had to revisit +-centres at the end.)

It was hard. First attempt meant that I wasn't sure how fast to go or how often to review. Will try this again tomorrow

WTF? Didnt you solve a 3x3x3 BLD in 2 seconds or something?

Greetings, Dennis

Errm...not that I know of? Also note it said Multi-5BLD
