Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Roman]

2x2-7x7 BLD relay fail

5x5: off by R-perm :fp
6x6: off by 5 edges

 

[antoineccantin]

51.81 3BLD off by 3 corners and 2 edges. Easy corners.

 

[CHJ]

was off by 3 X-centres on the other side of the cube
oh and was a nubby 16 minutes, like 3 mins too long

dat rage......

1:55.62[0:48] pop on second to last wing cycle. Probably wouldn't have been sub-2 but definitely would've been UWR

Two attempts on solving Rubik's cube blindfolded while riding BMX backwards, sitting on bar (don't know how to explain better, so watch the video )

1)

Haha, nice idea, although I think solving behind your back instead of blindfolded would be less risky

 

[Ollie]

2-6 relay 30:07[19:56] premature stop. 2 3 4 and 5 were solved, mixed up the memo of my obliques straight away. Should've gone back and tried to fix it really but effort. Not sure if fast.

EDIT: oh, and not sure because first attempt. Not bad.

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

6BLD first attempt in a long time, ~40 mins (~22 mins). Mistakes include: getting oblique sets mixed up and realising after memoing one that I had used the wrong buffer and having to start over, having the same letter twice in centre memo, and executing outer wing memo on inner wings (and I think I undid one of the comms wrong when I tried to fix it).

 

[Roman]

would be less risky

and less epic

2-6 relay 30:07[19:56]...

That is cool! I bet you will try it again

6BLD first attempt in a long time, ~40 mins (~22 mins).

I belive you will easily get your success very soon!

 

[Iggy]

4:24.12 4BLD DNF off by 2 centers. Fastest attempt so far.

Edit: 5:19.24, DNF(4:24.12), 5:37.69 = DNF

Could've been a mo3. :/

DNF(54.35) B2 F2 L2 R2 U R2 D' B2 L2 U2 R2 F D' U2 B D L' D B F' 4'/10
Off by two flipped edges because I did the last target wrong.

Not really mad. I'll get sub 1 eventually.

 

[antoineccantin]

5:21.33 1/2 MBLD off by 2 corners

Current 2 cube PB is 8:26... I've gotten many 1/2s or 0/2 close to sub-5 before though.

 

[Iggy]

6/9 in about 25 minutes (I think). Biggest attempt so far. I thought I timed it, but something went wrong with my phone and it didn't get timed.

 

[Iggy]

5/10 in 31:25.23. :fp Totally forgot the memo on the last cube because I forgot to review it. :/ Biggest attempt so far anyway.

 

[TDM]

10th consecutive 3BLD DNF. I haven't had a success since I switched methods, but my execution time has more than halved.

 

[antoineccantin]

9:39.49 2/3 multi BLD

 

[Iggy]

Got a 5/10 again. :fp But this time in 36:27.40.

Easiest scramble I've had by far. 3 permuted corners, all corners oriented on one side and easy CO on the other side. 1 edge solved - no parity. Memo was 3 minutes, not my usual 5 minutes.
DNF. This is my fifteenth consecutive failure since I changed to M2.

This is my first ever execution error - every other DNF I've had has been a 3-cycle of edges off.

 

[Ollie]

Rage quit 6BLD.

Both wing sets, both x-center sets and one set of obliques memorized and reviewed in 4:50. At 5:20 I'm struggling to find my last 2 obliques before corners - after 3 minutes of panicked searching with no result it's time to rage quit, crawl into a ball and weep. It was an opposite 2-cycle on the L and R faces. :fp
