Blindsolving Failure Thread

5/6 in 16:21.18, accidentally did an extra corner target on the last cube. :fp Not bad time though.

4/9 in 57:42.05 - Not only did I miss 5 cubes, I kept executing the edges using the corner memo and vice versa so I kept having to backtrack. Memo was 35, total time should have been low 50s. One cube off by 4E, another off by 3E, another off by 4E and 2C other two off by substantially more.

 

[uberCuber]

failed two 3BLD solves in a row by just forgetting to execute parity :fp

 

[uvafan]

1:11.40 off by two corners, 27.77 memo. 8/12 so NL. SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY!!!!!

 

[DuffyEdge]

4BLD 9:57.13 by two disorientated corners

Failures, failures, failures.
2x2-7x7 relay: lots of mistakes in 6x6 and 7x7. Just bored after so long memorization (over 1 hour)
6bld: 17:14.42 by some wings (just learned speed-optimized 3cycles for them)

If you just learned something, then practice it sighted first. Never rush a BLD solve.

No. Roman practices bld frequently. It is not a first time.

First attempt at 11 cube multi:

8/11 in 47:08 [memo was about 35]

Those times are so fast, just have to get your accuracy up.

Yeah, I'm actually happy with the time. I know I can fit atleast one more in an hour

Also, it's better than NR

3 attempts at multi at my last comp...1 was 11/11 NR
Second 6/15 in 57:xx (one corner twist on a fangshi, yuck. also, towards the end of exec, i accidentally picked up a solved cube and performed another cube's exec on it, so score could have easily been 10/15)
Third attempt 8/13 in 59:59. I'm very disappointed with this attempt in particular. I went extremely slow on memo, and kept making sure I did exec right. I guess I'll take the scrambles and analyse my mistakes

4BLD: DNF (6:44.xx), DNF(8:33.xx), DNF(7:01.xx) First by 4 centers, second and third messed up.
5BLD: DNF(20:xx), DNF(19:xx), DNF(19:xx) First one I seemed to have done an extra D' somewhere in between (anyway, was off by 2 x centers).
Second off by a 3 corner cycle :fp
Third by a 3 wing cycle

So now I have an official 5BLD off by a 3 corner cycle, and also an official 5BLD off by 2 twisted corners (my previous comp)

First 4BLD in ages DNF by 3 wings

7:19

Would've been PB... My memo was 3:15

I've become lot faster at bigBLD and multi... I should do a 5BLD soon again (Maybe be like Ville and sub 10 on my 5th success (I think))

So many pauses that I'm sure I can sub 7 atleast, if not sub 6:30 with a good solve

Yeah, if you can memo at that speed you can easily sub7... My attempts nowadays are almost always sub7 (and often sub-6:30) and my memo is usually 3:00-3:30.
I occasionally get sub-6 solves also, when I can get a sub3 memo. Usually when all the edges are in one cycle... And I still suck hard at center execution :/

Yea, that memo is fast! It's around the average of my memo.

I usually can't memo that fast... Although I did another memo only timed and it was 3:20

55.22 3BLD DNF off by 3 edges . Easiest scramble ever

Shot to v instead of x :fp

D2 L2 R U2 L' B2 R B2 R' B2 D R2 B R' F2 D B D L' R2

41.45 2 flipped edges in that scramble

 

[uvafan]

6/9 in 54:51, one cube off by 2 flipped edges, another off by 2 twisted corners, and last one off by 3 corners. 7 pieces in total from 9/9. You have got to be kidding me.:fp

EDIT: Diagnosed first two mistakes - shot to wrong target located on same piece, not sure what went wrong in the other one. SO CLOSE.

How can you have a cube off by ONE flipped edge or ONE twisted corner?
