40.64 mo3 fail

I have several sub 40 fails but the DNF was off by 1 move (most likely) so this one really stings

39:04 2-7bld dnf by 2x on 6 and 2x on 7
40:11 2-7bld dnf right after by 3 centers on 4 lol

Somehow 2-7bld is like literally the most frustrating endeavor I've encountered in blindsolving, to this day. Idk why it's so hard to get 100% solved, shouldn't be thaaaat much more difficult than a 20/20 mbld, and I'm safetying memo pretty hard still

2-7 relay: killing BLDers dreams since 2009.
I remember this attempt by @Mike Hughey was one of the first BLD videos I saw, one of those that motivated me to learn BLD :)

This is the worst 3bld scramble ever. (or well that's how I feel right now after messing up the first alg of the solve and then giving up) It has about like 4 cycle breaks for edges. Corners suck aswell, try it.

I'm so bad with bad scrambles. 2:11.66 (1:15.96) At least I got it right.

@Mike Hughey Why don't you try 9BLD? You have an 8bld success and you compete in 6bld and 7bld quite often.
I would, but I haven't ever gotten around to getting a 9x9x9. And because of my having a weird color scheme, I can't just borrow one from someone else.
Someday.
