Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Gordon]

Yes we have them, but I do not like them much. But thats maybe not the point. I'll try to remember them the next time I get an JF.

5BLD attempt 2 : two pieces away. RDB & DFR x centers switched.

So close it stings. At least it's not taking me as Long as 4BLD ( 20+ attempts )

Second attempt at megaBLD today. Off by an edge 3-cycle. So close :/. Video of execution.

Attempted Feet BLD, and here is a BIG mistake: Using M2. I have only memorized the hand motions for the bad cases (shooting to an edge in M slice). I am gonna use old pochmann. The thing I like about this is that it doesn't hurt my head (too much to memorize) because the hard part is turning accurately.

Wow, nice try - and fast too! You'll have one soon, I'm sure!

Ballsed up this 5x5x5 scramble f F D' F B D2 U2 f' R' u2 F D' u F2 U' u R L2 U r2 R' B2 b2 L' r' D2 d' R f' B R2 f2 U2 l r B' f2 b R' l2 d2 B U L2 B2 b u2 F2 b' d' L2 D' L u' R' d2 L2 u l2 d2 with a lot of solved centers :/ Bit of RSI in my right index too, damn 6x6x6.

I am so pissed at myself right now. I was doing a BLD solve in front of family using my phone to time, and got the EASIEST scramble EVER. Literally the easiest I've ever gotten. SO SO SO easy!!!!!!!@@@@

L2 R2 F U2 F' D' B U' D2 F2 B' R' L2 B F' U' D B F' L' F L R2 F' B'

I had 7-8 second memo, it was going to be awesome. I solved all the corners and 4/8 edges. Then, I completely blanked out on the last two letter pairs. MU HaTs, why couldn't I have remembered. I'm pretty sure if I didn't blank out on the those last two, it would have been sub 25. I ended up trying to recall for a whole minute but gave up, ashamed. Before I stopped the timer, I took a picture of the scramble; otherwise it would have been lost.

My memo was so short and easy to remember, but I just flat out forgot.... The background chatter and noise and pressure from family probably had something to do that.

GO SaVe MU HaTs (edges), IK JO PM (corners)

My solution could've been (was going to be) 57 moves total....

Ugh.

thats a really cool scramble, but I think it will take me around 40~60s for memo. I can how it pains to fail easy scrambles, I always fail the most easiest cube in MBLD without particular reason, but you're still awesome.

So I decided to do a 4BLD attempt, and got a DNF as expected. Surprisingly everything was solved except for a cycle of centers. Final time was 17:30.35[9:58.44].

 

[Mikel]

Dixon Winter 2013 3x3 BLD

1) DNF (1:09.xx)
After checking the scramble I am pretty sure my memo was correct. I think I accidentally executed an R2 instead of an R somewhere during corners. This was my fastest ever DNF.

2) DNF (2:16)
I forgot parts of my corner memo and I think I screwed up somewhere with edges too.

3) DNF (2:something)
Was just meh, lots of mistakes.

Pretty bummed about the first solve. It was a pretty easy scramble for me.

SCMU:
3BLD: 1:09 DNF by 3 corners
4BLD: 2 pathetic DNF's (apparently centers were solved on both attempts, and I messed up in a setup)
These failures are acceptable...the unacceptable ones:

5BLD: 23:xx off by 2 twisted corners !!!!!!! I still dont remember executing wrong (memo was right). Third attempt was for speed (after a 28:57 safe solve success). DNF (18:xx), off by quite a bit, looks like i messed up a setup/undo.

Multi: 6/10 in 49:xx
One cube off by 3 edges, one by 2 corners twisted (I had forgotten CO memo on that cube, and just guessed), one I forgot to exec an edge, so off by M2 and that.
4th DNF was the most pathetic of all...T perm off...forgot to do parity ...yuck

Blindfold Failures? 9BLD pop almost at the start of solving.

9BLD?? how long did that take to memo?

 

[Roman]

9BLD?? how long did that take to memo?

I didn't measure the time, but it took me whole evening, 4-5 hours I'd say (this time includes eating, coffee breaks, skype etc.)
I tried to solve 9BLD 4 times (2 pops and 2 understandings that something's wrong at the middle of preforming), it was this summer. After frustration, I left this idea.

You absolute beast! Keep trying, a success = instant BLD legend status.

Sounds good.
Fortunately, I left all my cube collection (except 5x5) at parent's home a mounth ago, how sad =)

 

[CJF2L 1]

3 edges off 3BLD

i think i messed up a setup move by 90 degrees :fp

 

[brandbest1]

First attempt at full 3-style corners and edges.

Off by 2 twisted corners and 3 swapped edges. Time was 4:xx.xx.

 

[JianhanC]

Official comps, probably the only time I do BLD. Attempted 2 cubes for multi, both were off by 2 edges and 2 corners My first multi attempt in 3 or so years.

 

[rock1313]

4th attempt at 7x7 blindfolded: DNF (1:39:01.29)

Horrible just horrible, I was off by over 100 pieces
