Blindsolving Failure Thread

4x4 BLD fail off by 2 centers, but would have been another PB by more than 2 minutes:

17:28.25, ~9.5 minutes memo

I'm getting faster! It seems like it's just a matter of getting more used to the center execution for me. As that gets faster, I can make more use of short-term visual memo for centers. Before, my center execution took so long that I needed to brand the memo into my head to the point that I would remember it for days.

I can finally see sub-10 as a possibility! Maybe in the near future I'll get up the nerve to attempt another 5x5 BLD.

Disappointing attempt for 4 cubes MBF, it was my first try btw.
I got 3/4 due to a failed algorithm.
I was just not focused for one second, while trying to plan the next pieces.
I did a T-Perm (at least I wanted to), but I thought, I mistakenly did a J-Perm instead. Somehow the cube was screwed up in the end.

The other 3 cubes were perfect So: 3/4 in 34:31.
At least I know, that I can do it, because my recall of the other 3 cubes was good.

The scrambles were from weekly competition.
I am definately ready for 4 cubes.

My 2nd attempt on Jakarta Open .. fail by 2 corner

i got a solve on first attempt, 21:20, very slow because want to play safe at first and the competition held on a very noisy mall.

Look at chuck's face.. megaLOL

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah, amazing. 1:21.56, off by 2 2-cycles on the corners. *cries*

My second attempt at the Chicago Open for 5x5x5 BLD was a DNF, 15:05.xx. It was off by quite a few pieces, but analysis seemed to show that I was probably off by just a single missed setup move undo. One move away from a WR. Grrr!

Oh, and my second attempt at 4x4x4 BLD was a (not very impressive) 8:20 or so DNF - I forgot to do the corner parity at the end.

Must be heartbreaking to know you were just one move away from the WR. I would mope around for days, that's for sure

How about your first attempt?

It was a success, 16:53. But maybe it belongs here too - I was doing the last pair of corners on it (at the beginning of the solve), and got lost in the middle of the commutator. So I had to stop and retrace it five or six times before I finally convinced myself that I got it corrected. Truth is that at that point, I was pretty sure I had probably messed it up, which had me fairly discouraged (first attempt wasted). But the good thing about it was that then I went as fast as I possibly could, since I just wanted to get it over with and try the second one. That got me in the proper frame of mind to go fast, which is probably why the second one was WR speed. But maybe if I had done the first one as fast as the second one, without the huge pause on the corners, it might have been close too!

I popped my cube during a BLD solve in comp

Yesterday, at school the rubik's cube got brought up into confersation, and anyway a friend wanted me to bring mine to class the following day.
The next day he asked me to do it blindfolded. So it was scrambled, I memorised it, closed my eyes and had a pencil case put in front of me to avoid peeking. I had about 2 corners left to do then it popped FAIL!!!

DNF(1:31.26), (1:32.17), DNF(2:11.18), 2:34.60, DNF(2:15.72), DNF(2:16.67), DNF(2:05.19), DNF(1:42.45), 2:13.35, (DNF(1:39.90))

:S

Good 1:32 though.
Last one I forgot to flip 2 edges.
I guess I'm still about 30 percent accurate.

4x4 blind on 9:29.37..

I think it's the third sub-10 dnf in a row, so it starts to get kind of annoying.. Maybe I should start to just try to speed everything up, since I fail anyway?

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Yes of course. What's the point in getting a success if it's over 4 minutes?

 

[Sakarie]

Yeah! When I get over 4 minutes in competition, I'm very fast at doing a T-perm or something, so I get a dnf.. I wouldn't want to have a lousy 4:12 or something hanging around in my history!

Hi!
Today I participated first time in weekly competition. I DNFed first and third attempt. Amazingli both attempts had two edges twisted. And they were the same edges. Red-Green and White-Blue.
I will get better. I promise!

DNF...

So heres how it went....

-Starts up qqtimer
-Scrambles cube
-Starts timer
-Starts memo
-Done memo
-Checks the time
-Accidently closes qqtimer
-Starts solve anyway
-Finishes solve
-Ends up flipping the third edge wrong, thus making everything after that flipped.
-Also memo'ed a few corners wrong.(I keep getting yellow and white corners mixed up.)

So yeah. The first time I attempted a full BLD solve. I'm satisfied.

 

[blah]

About 20 5x5x5 BLD DNFs in a row today.
