Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Roman]

I just did one more attempt of 2-7 relay and got the most frustrating DNF in my whole cubing life.
At the very beginning, I was solving 3x3 and some noice distracted me hard, so I forgot whether I did an L2 setup or not. I decided that I didn't and performed it repeately being awared that it's a 50% chance that I can screw up. Of course, I mistaked.
Other than that, everything else was correct.
I never really cared too much about DNFs, but this just depressed me a lot

The 2-7 relay is obviously cursed.

Good luck next time!

You're right. Sort of. My next attempt was my worst yet. Messed up memo and execution very badly so I tried the same scramble again and I got it. I'm not going to count it as it was a retry but I know I can do it.

The vote of confidence is appreciated.

It's kind of funny reading this now that you have a sucess

Aww, that sucks man. At least it's improvement over the livestream attempt even though it was really good as well. Don't give up though!

Wow that's even sadder than Brandon's 2 obliques. Keep tryin'!

Just hope you're never off by the 2x2 or a single corner twist.

All pieces which you can't see, are solved. First 4bld attempt 37 mins [31] I went really really safe but 4 centers and 8 edges are wrong will try again soon!

I'm trying to get a first success too. The last few days I've been playing around with 5BLD, and when I come back to 4BLD it seems so small.

 

[TDM]

Average of 5: DNF
12-16 - 2:05.75, 3:27.95, DNF, (1:56.34), (DNF)

Last solve was a 2:00.99, off by 3 corners I thought it was going to be a success...

Some classmates wanted me to do a blindsolve in school. Was good but 2 flipped edges... One of them was the edge that was solved at the beginning

6BLD DNF - 15:45.44 [6:50] off by 5 centers

Ouch. Keep going!

First 5BLD attempt, epic failure, in ~43:16 minutes. Memorisation took ~21 minutes. Ugh...memory work makes me so tired...I'm 95% sure that it was my execution that got me messed up. I need to do centres-only training before my next attempt...

 

[Cale S]

7BLD DNF - 30:22.60 [13:13] off by an R2 and 27 centers

Now I can easily turn accurately, I just need to stop forgetting to do single moves

Wut? That's still 13 minutes better than my 5BLD time...

Are you doing another livestream 2-7 BLD relay, Roman?

Are you doing another livestream 2-7 BLD relay, Roman?

+1 plz

 

[newtonbase]

3BLD attempt that ended in 1 edge solved and absolutely nothing else.

Beat that!

Edit: new PB - nothing solved. Post mortem suggests that 3BLD and vodka don't mix.
