Blindfold Failures Thread

[riffz]

I literally spend so much time thinking about how I'm going to handle twisted corners. They are such SUCH a weak part of my solve, it's ridiculous. I memo so much longer because of them, and delay in execution thinking about what to do. Ugh. Need a system...

I should be on IRC a fair amount in the next few days. Keep me in the loop for algs/ideas. Twisted corners are not a strong point for me either.

2:05 off by 4 flipped edges (did the wrong final 2-2 edge swap) in bed last night after a lot of 'baking'.

Heh, I've been doing an excessive amount of 'baking' this week.

I now have a somewhat decent way to handle twisted corners. It's all right. I'll be on IRC after 9P.M. eastern to discuss more ideas.

My current way...I'm unsure of what memo method to use to memorize it...

New 3BLD PB for me: 47.19

well, in that case I guess you posted in the wrong thread!

16/17 55:26 [33:43] 2 twisted corners. Wasn't really sure which thread to post this in. Happy with the time, especially memo which was faster than my 16 cube attempt last week. Again, I wrote out a schedule for memo, and this time ended up beating it by over 3 minutes so that's good. Scrambles were all from WeeklyComp39. 5 from 3x3, 3 from 3bld, and 9 from multi (scrambles 17-25 because I did 1-16 for my last attempt). The unsolved cube was scramble 20 from the multi scrambles (20. D' R D B' D2 F2 D R' F2 U L' U2 F L D' L' D U'). You can probably see why one might end up with twisted corners! It was a memo mistake I think.

Ooops sorry. At least I failed in something

7/8 in multi, 50:20. First time doing 8 of 'em, and I didn't know anyone could be that irritated on two corners.

I tried to solve UBR->FDL->BUL with R' U2 R' D R U2 R' D' R2.

three edges wrong

it would be pb by far

1:09.38 DNF because DB was flipped :/

DNF(11:58.80)[5:48] - 5BLD

Didn´t realized that I solved an odd number of midges and shot to Fu instead of Bd. 3 midges off. Damn it, it was so fast!

I´m working on it.

2. 44.36 D2 L' D2 L B F' R2 L U2 B2 F' R F' R2 L D' L R2 U B2 U2 R L D' F2

5. DNF(50.38) L' B2 D' U F L2 D2 U' R' B L2 R D' L' F2 L D R2 D U L B D' B U2

Very easy scrambles, memo times were 9-10-9-11-9.
On the 4th solve I executed DQ instead of BQ, on the last solve I forgot the last 2 letters.

LOL today I made 30 31 DNF DNF 31 30 36 DNF DNF

 

[Jakube]

5BLD: DNF(10:49.97)[5:48]

off by l' and 2 centers

 

[Jakube]

Multi for the wekkly competition 14/18 in 1:00:00 or 15/18 in 1:01:57

The Failures: I forgot to solve the edges on cube 13.

I also recorded this Multi, but probably won´t record it, because of the result.

[Sakarie]

4x4 blindfolded dnf in 5:25, 2+2 centers wrong. Made me very glad and very sad at the same time.

4BLD

Memo was 1:57, first time sub 2, and than => during centers a huge pop, 8 pieces.
