Blindsolving Failure Thread

[szalejot]

I am trying to do corners using commutators only.
Yesterdays session of corner-only solves: 24 solves, 7 successes = below 30% success rate. And times comparable to OP.

It is going to be a long road...

30.54, DNF(35.30), 36.53

Would've been a 34.12 mo3 2 flipped edges

15/17 43:42.75

4e/4c (don't know what happened), Y perm slip up.

Haven't done multi in weeks so I'm glad I'm still faster than what I was before my last 17 attempt.

6x6 BLD DNF(12:26.08)[5:39.19] by 2 obliques

I tried doing a 3 cube MBLD three times over the past week or so (got my first success a week ago) and one of them was 0/3, the other two were 1/3. Recalling my memo was completely fine on all of them, I just memorized the wrong sticker(s) on all of the DNFs except 1. And this never happens when I'm doing single blindsolves.

Also, my first 2/3 attempts blindolving, I only DNFed because I did a U' instead of a U at the end of the R perm.

A 4BLD DNF by 2 twisted corners. I think I shot to the wrong side of the sticker still waiting for my first success. This solve was around 19:xx with a 12:xx memo.

7x7 BLD: DNF(27:30.34)[13:33.98].
I forgot to execute one word, daaaaaamn! 7BLD UWR is very slow according today's tendencies at BLD. Anyone who is more or less fast at 5x5 blind is able to beat it. If only stupid DNFs like this willn't occur. Grrrr

11:58.41[6:05.10] 5BLD DNF. I think I undid some setup moves incorrectly. Fastest attempt by >1 minute, also memo pb probably

 

[MatsBergsten]

Finally tried a 2-3-4-5-6-7-bld. Total time 2:58:35 (exec 53:35).
I forgot to do all edges on the 5x5 (corners and centers all solved) and then the 7x7 was off,
I think by one faulty slice move.

It took very long to memorize, I used the same locations for the 7x7 and the 6x6 and realized
that did not work so I had to invent new locations for the smaller cubes. A lot of rehearsing then.
The actual solving was ok I think, no particular memo lapses. But to forget to solve all edges
on the 5x5...

I will not try this again in the near future...

Wow Mats, that was a nice try anyway. If you will ever try this again, will you film it?

 

[MatsBergsten]

If you will ever try this again, will you film it?

I can only film 30 minutes, then my camera stops filming. That's enough for a 7x7
(solving only) but definitely not enough for a 2-3-4-5-6-7-solve.

I don't have a digital film camera, but perhaps I'll buy one.

I agree with Roman - nice try! The next time you won't make those mistakes, so it will be much easier.

And Roman: nice try on the 7x7x7 too. You're right - I still think you can totally smash the 7x7x7 UWR if you really try. I mean Really smash it, like by more than 10 minutes. (Hey, you're twice as fast as me at 5x5x5; why not 7x7x7? I certainly don't turn any faster on 7x7x7 than I do on 5x5x5 - my 5x5x5 is my single nicest-turning cube, and my 7x7x7 is not all that special.)

2:40.91 4BLD DNF, execution mistake. Memo was 1:03 I suck

 

[CHJ]

first 2 megaBLD attempts ever, 1:00:10.33 (39:50) by roughly 25% then 34:35 (15:25) by 3 corners

dat time change XD

You finally tried it then? Nice. That seems pretty fast for only a couple of tries though ...

4BLD mo3: DNF
DNF(5:28.17), DNF(5:23.51), DNF(4:56.81)
3w+2x, parity, 3w+3x. i suck

first try was the first actual use of the methods i have and memo and targets etc, the second was alot more smoother and it stuck, but i stayed with the two letters per target system

56:17.14[35:32.06] 7BLD DNF

quite a few pieces off, but in strips so i think i just missed a couple setup moves. almost an hour faster than my pb lol
