Blindsolving Failure Thread

Another disappointing 7BLD DNF. I popped an oblique that fell of my desk and I could not reach it. Everything that I solved so far was correct. I reworked though the scramble and my memo was completely correct. :fp BigBLD is frustrating.

I just had my 10th 7BLD DNF earlier today. It was off by 23 pieces which means I am doing worse than when I started. This is very frustrating. I don't know if I should just quit until I am a better BLDer.

You could try and film it and do 'autopsys' to see where you're going wrong. I did this on a couple and worked out that my main sources of error were doing silly undoing of set-ups and mistaking the correct letter pair for something else, purely through rushing to get finished.

I have filmed every single one(because I want the success on tape). It has occurred to me that camera pressure is probably not helping. I rage quit the 6th one because I memorized Way too fast, then silly stuff like forgetting a setup or missing a 2cycle for wings and for the rest I don't even know what went wrong.
 
My first 5 3BLD attempts today. My last solve last night was my lucky PB (posted it last night, it was 1:31.xx)

DNF(1:43.13)[56.91(2E)]
DNF(2:09.49)[52.92(3E)]
DNF(1:39.88)[51.46(3C)]
DNF(2:26.23)[1:09.72(3C)]
DNF(1:48.88)[44.49(4E)]

On the bright side, all 5 were off by 4 or less pieces and 4/5 were much faster than average attempts.

You should just continue solving. If the whole puzzle is solved and 1 center is popped, it is not DNF, according to the WCA rules.
 
I hate 6BLD and it can go and die for all I care. :'(

On 20+ attempts now. Just got a 16:22.87[8:01] which would have solved if it wasn't for the accidental misalignment right towards the end. I was so careful as well.
