Blindfold Failures Thread

[Billabob]

My 2nd attempt at 3BLD was off by 2 flipped edges... I memo'd RM KC BG XL HU - DQ CN OL EM KP AH SH, but I should have had UG at the end

Oh well... maybe I'll get it next time.

Just had the saddest 5BLD DNF ever at UKC today. Not a nice scramble - had to go into 2 rooms for X centres which never happens, 4 cycle breaks in wings, and 3 twisted corners with 3/4 parities. I jokingly said to my judge before the solve that I couldn't remember how to execute parity - at the end of corner parity I went to execute U R U' R' U2 and instead executed U2 R U' R'. DNF, everything else was solved.

1:29 dnf by 3 centers xd

wouldn't have been pb anyway

 

[Julio974]

Just every single attempt at 2x2 Bld I did. I should maybe try to learn the true method.
Also a month ago I judged a DNF by a slice turn. Judging blind is so sad

 

[sigalig]

DNFed a 3:32 5BLD by 2 xcenters which, if successful, would have given me a 3:40 mo3 and 3:50 ao5
(could have potentially rolled the ao5 as well)

How do you even manage to do that?

I'm so gonna smash it next time.

 

[greentgoatgal]

DNF'd all 3 blind solves in comp yesterday

 

[TheGrayCuber]

5BLD Pb is 5:01, just got a 4:53 off by 2 t-centers.

 

[Cale S]

52:02 2-7BLD relay DNF by the 2x2 and 7x7 lol

each was a single move mistake I think

 

[Cale S]

First attempt at 2-8 BLD relay: 2:59:xx off by 6, 7, 8

 

[TheGrayCuber]

First attempt at 2-8 BLD relay: 2:59:xx off by 6, 7, 8

Whoa, good luck with future attempts! Why did you decide to skip normal 8BLD?

 

[Cale S]

Whoa, good luck with future attempts! Why did you decide to skip normal 8BLD?

I might try 8BLD on its own, but 2-8 hasn't been done yet so I'm more interested in getting this

 

[abunickabhi]

Lol

 

[abunickabhi]

First attempt at 2-8 BLD relay: 2:59:xx off by 6, 7, 8

Woah, all the best for your next attempt yo.

 

[Cale S]

2nd attempt at 2-8 BLD relay: 2:31:11 off by a lot on 7x7 and 5 centers on 8x8

on 7x7 I accidentally did a wide move while trying to do F and wasn't sure how deep the turn was

on 8x8 I did a left oblique alg instead of a right oblique alg or vice versa

Holy cow Stanley, take a chill pill and let others catch up a bit XD seriously though your progress has been insane, keep up the awesome work dude

 

[GenTheThief]

I did a 12 corner scramble for megaminx BLD just to remember how it works without investing the 20m that would be required to memo all of the corners.

7m execution because I'm bad at blind, off by 3 corners.

But, now I have the hang of it and can push for a success next month.

 

[JG Cubing]

I was attempting a 2x2-4x4 bld relay and I ended up messing up by only 2 centers on the 4x4!

 

[Connor Yungbluth]

47.87 PB mo3 fail. The 48 was off by 2 flipped edges. Would've been PB by 6 seconds :/

The 38 is PB2 (post in success thread) and was 7 algs lol
