DNF(17.29) R2 F' U2 L2 B2 R2 B D2 U2 F U' L B2 D' R U R2 D U2 F

off by [R U' R', E]

 

[Christopher Cabrera]

7/10 multi in comp
nats qualification = failure
one was off by a flipped edge i didn't notice but I messed up the other two pretty badly

Spoiler

I forgot an edge cycle and an edge flip on one and I appear to have messed up a setup move on the other

 

[Underwatercuber]

Bunch of 3bld solves keep being silly dnfs.
Got a 2:02 but I forgot to execute last letter pair corners
2:04 same as first but with edge instead
1:59 forgot parity somehow
2:08 forgot to undo final setup move

official 4BLD and 5BLD were very bad yesterday DNF by a lot on every attempt, but 2 of my 5BLD attempts were faster than any of my attempts at home

 

[the super cuber]

35/41 MBLD in 1:01:15 [35:53] (34/41 in the hour so 27 points)

Forgot some stuff and couldn't concentrate well

 

[OJ Cubing]

9/11 mBLD in 59:52.262 [45:43] As you can see, I spent too long recapping and had to really rush my execution. Consequently, I wasn't concentrating as I did one of the M slice edges, and I also forgot a letter pair. Since I couldn't recap my last cube an additional time I spent at least 20 seconds trying to figure out my corner memo, and thankfully I did and so was able to finish it with less than 8 seconds to spare!
So overall not too bad, but would have probably been 11/11 if I wasn't rushing to make the hour time limit!!

this definitely could've been a sub 20 mean, but i was super shaky and nervous on the last solve

Mean of 3: DNF
1. 19.50 R U R F2 D2 B D2 L F' U2 L F2 B2 R' U2 L2 U2 R B2
2. 20.69 B2 D2 R2 D2 F2 R U2 L' D2 R B' R2 U2 R' F' R D' L U' L2 U
3. DNF(23.36) B2 D B2 R2 U2 L2 D' R2 F2 R2 U R' B L' B U B F R' D2 U2

Omg I just got a 3bld DNF streak of 11. What was that? I'm not improving very much now

 

[Underwatercuber]

I hit bld DNF streaks all day every day. For every success I get I get like 20 DNFs

Ugh, if anything I've ever done belonged in the blind fail thread it's this:

24/27 multibld in 55:29.45[38:09.22]. Good memo time, really good exec time. The reason I call this a fail is because of how ridiculously dumb the DNFs were.

1 DNF: twisted a corner THE WRONG WAY -_-
1 DNF: shot to the wrong side of an edge, resulting in two flipped edges. Even had the memo correct, just executed to the wrong side of the piece. No idea why my brain decides to do things this dumb.
1 DNF: my finger slipped on a D' on a corner comm, and I wasn't sure if I did the D' or not. So I did it, and turns out I had already done the D'

All the memo was perfect. DNFs purely due to completely stupid exec brainfarts. Coulda been 27/27 in a faster time than my PB, 25/25 in 56:22.

@sigalig, that's the joy of blind...

 

[Riddler97]

Still can't sub-10 5BLD

DNF(9:27.44 [4:10.95]) - Off by 2 wings this time

Still can't sub-10 5BLD

You are doing great. IMHO the hard part is getting it all done within the time. Accuracy will come with practice.

Decided to try 2x2-5x5 blind relay for the first time. Took it really slow and still managed to DNF 5x5 by 3 +centers and a few midges because silly me forgot to do an M2 move -_-
Time was 27:20[17:18]

 

[kake123]

Rip MBLD

23/26 MBLD in 58min 17.88s, off by a flipped edge and a few edge targets (which I missed in execution but not memo?)

I was about going to try this sometime this week, independent of seeing your post.
DNF(33:20.97[21:36/11:44]) (weekly competition 2-5 relay scrambles)
3 x-centers on 5x5, execution mistake which I partially realized at the time, but wasn't sure.
Forgot to delete videos from my phone, so ran out of room to record the ending anyway.

DNF(16.41) R2 U2 R2 D B2 D2 L2 B2 U L2 D' R' B' U2 R D B L2 B' U' B2

off by 3 edges

could've been a 17 on cam with good lighting

 

[FastCubeMaster]

(Was going to be a) 14 second PB DNF. 1:20 with a bunch of twisted stuff

 

[fp4316]

16.65 DNF by 1 move

 

[sigalig]

Fastest attempt by like 45 seconds. Overlooked a 2 comm cycle break, so I dnfed by 3 wings
