Blindsolving Failure Thread

First full 4x4 BLD attempt, didn't time it, the memorizing was over an hour anyway. The execution 10-15 minutes.

I spent ages burning it into my brain so I didn't forget while solving.

2 CORNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The VERY LAST PIECE I inserted was inserted wrong! I must of screwed it up in the memorising process. :fp

:mad: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

How the hell could I of done that!:fp

The corners are the most easiest thing, it didn't even have parity! :fp

I memorised the incorrect corner like this:
[Shoot to BLD] (representing "M")

It should of been:
[Shoot to LBD] (representing "K')

Seriously though, :fp
 
3x3 multiBLD: 1/2 5:03
Second cube was off by two flipped edges, iirc.

4x4 BLD:
DNF(14:13) - 2 centre pieces swapped.
DNF(11:06) - did an extra r2, did an extra parity fix, (so the centres were off by U2 r2). Otherwise, 2 2-cycles of wings, one of which I didn't see during memo, which is why I did parity.

So does anyone know what the fastest first success for 4bld is? At this rate I'll probably stackmat it before I solve it successfully.

Dunno what the fastest first success was, but it was definitely sub-10. From my rough memory when we were talking about it when I got my first one, it was about 8 mins I think. Nice times btw :)

I know your pain. My last two attempts I think I had were off by 3 corners and 2 corners each. I was so annoyed at myself :p. But dw, you will get it soon!
 
Hah, add DNF(12:45) to my list of 4bld failures! Off by 3 corners and 2 wings this time. I took a while for that one because I forgot centres when I was revising :o
 
Umm... I got the edges part of the Pochmann method.. but I can't get the corners. on Joel van noorts speedcubing page he has a example solve. and the corners won't work for me... can someone with experience try this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?? I guess that's my failure... lol

Well, it's hard to help you if you don't explain the problem. Explain. And we'll try!
 
7x7x7BLD: DNF 2:04:54(1:17:76 visual memo)

Third attempt. The best yet. Only two "small" mistakes.

1. One 3-cycle of obliques. I think I memoed them incorrectly. I'm having difficulties seperating one set of obliques from the other during memo. This time I did a lot better than the other times though. I had this idea of refering one set of obliques as: 1, 4, 7 and 10 o'clock and the other set as 2, 5, 8, and 11 o'clock.
2. I use r2 for wing edges and on the outer wing edges I had 3 edges on the l-slice in a row. I went through them fast, but then lost count of how many I did. I then ended up doing a fourth one resulting in a bad slicemove and a few wing edges in the wrong place. I blame this on loss of concentration during the very last part of the solve.
 
5x5BLD at GO: 38:xy DNF, off by some wing edges. It went like this:
- Solve centers
- Solve edges
- Realize I did something wrong 7 targets ago (confused L with M, I always do that >_<)
- Go back 7 targets
- Fix mistake
- Solve 7 targets
- Realize that when going back I forgot a target
- Go 7 targets back
- Unfix the mistake
- Go 3 targets forward
- Fix mistake
- Go 3 targets back
- Fix mistake
- Go 7 targets forward.

I'm not sure on which of these I made a mistake :p

Multi: 3/4 in 21:39, 2 flipped edges. I didn't memo them correctly, it was a sole 2-cycle. I memo'ed DVD instead of DUD :(

Nice try! You'll get it soon!
 
3x3 MultiBLD: 5/7 in 32:35 (22:08 memo) and 5/7 in 35:05 (23:27 memo)

First was for weekly comp #16. I'll try again after school tomorrow and hopefully get 7/7 >.<

Is there a way to tell if you have 3bld parity without doing memo
