Blindsolving Failure Thread

I add a Z to the last pair.

That's a good one. I know some people cross their legs or sit on their foot. I'm sure there are loads of methods.

It's flipped edges I tend to forget to do. I leave them to the very end so I don't get confused by the cube rotations but I often completely forget to do them.

I often forget them too - need a better memo system. How do you solve them? Why do you rotate?

I use Berd's flipping algs so for 2 pairs I need them at UF and UB. If I rotate then I only have to set up and undo one pair at most.

Ok, cool. I decided to make up some awful centres method, did one sighted centres solve, one blind edge centres (+centres? Idk the name) and that's all the prep I did for this attempt, so I was completely unprepared. I am extremely happy with the result, although it wasn't a success, it was a lot better than I was expecting. It was 12 centres (4 inner and 8 outer), all solvable with an r move, 4 wings and 3 midges.

Looking at this, it is certain that I made an execution mistake and did an extra r' or missed an r during wings, causing the centres and the 4 wings to be unsolved. I either missed a letter pair during midges, or memo'ed it wrong in the first place.

I was extremely surprised that my centres were solved at one point.

If you've learned U2 for 4BLD yet, you can use a very similar method for +centres. I learned it here: https://youtu.be/w59BgT6piDU

Yeah, I kinda haven't learnt U2 yet...

If you are proficient with M2 you can learn U2 in 20 minutes.

I will get around to it, hopefully sometime this weekend.

Anyway... 5BLD 2nd attempt, DNF by 2 WINGS!!!!!
35:27, idk the memo time.

So sad

2/4 MutilBLD.

- Off by two twisted corners.
- Off by 4 edges.

Guess what I forgot to do in competition at the weekend? I'll get an official solve one day.

Try just memoing as another pair. For example, assuming you use Speffz, you can memo a flipped front right edge as JP. When you get to it during execution, you can either notice it's a flip and do a flipping alg, or if you solve it as two targets (slower) that's fine, at least it will still work.

Notice in the MBLD memo I posted earlier that one of the corner memos ends with TO DI. That's two twisted corners.

First try on 6BLD, pop after 28 min memo and 4 min execution(two cross centres). Much apreciated v-cube :tu

Good part is that memo was so fluid and I could memo more than I thought, before this attempt my brain went dead on +10min memos. I think that without the pop there'd be no memo problems (surely a bunch of exec errors though)

That looks like a safer approach.

6BLD DNF: 46:50.85 (32:20) although a DNF was pretty close! Misaligned the l layers during wings by the looks of the cube and PB in time by 10 minutes!

 

[Hssandwich]

4BLD, would be PB if didn't do an extra U at the end of doing a commutator for centres... 6:59 DNF by 4 corners and 8 wings (all wings solvable with a D'.

Wow you are getting fast...

This solve was completely a one off, memo was just under 4 minutes, which is about usual for me, and execution was pretty much pauseless, so that was what made the solve. I usually get about 9 minutes, but I haven't done as much 4BLD recently, I have main,y been focussing on 3BLD, 5BLD and multi. I usually do an attempt per day.

Go and get 3BLD. All I can manage nowadays is sup-1 (yes. sup.)

 

[gateway cuber]

NO!! first 5BLD attempt off by 2 swapped center pieces and 3 edges. 15:23.98...

In response to a 4BLD attempt:

Wow!! nice job, my brain doesn't have the memo capacity to do that.... I like 3BLD though.

What?
