Blindsolving Failure Thread

4x4 BLD DNF in 10:11.00 with two two-cycles of centers wrong :(

I also did a speedmulti yesterday, got 2/5 in 21 minutes. memo in around 10:45. On one of the cubes I did the Classic Pochmann-parity fix and forgot I was using M2. :fp
 
My 4BLD times are starting to confuse me.

Last night, I had a DNF(10:00.73). Then I followed that with a DNF(9:01.60).

And tonight, I just did a DNF(8:03.66). 3:07 memo. wtf.

sub-8 first success? :p
 
22 minute 4x4 BLD DNF.
-Memo was about 12.
-Corner and center execution felt pretty fast then I ran into a couple of dilemma's with the edges. I was expecting just the edges to be unsolved but the centers were off by a bit aswell.

@ Aron, with DNF's that fast it almost makes them an accomplishment. :p

7:41.01 DNF...
I have it on tape, because Faz demanded that I film. 3:10 memo. Off by 16 wings and 9 centres, so that's pretty bad.

I've done at least 35, maybe even 40, DNFs, and not a single success yet. :o

EDIT: Actually, it's probably more like over 50 DNFs.

haven't you considered going slow to practise your accuracy during execution? I know you are going for the fastest first solve record, but your just going to get the "most dnf's before succes" record (which rhymes better ;) ).

I'm not intentionally going for fastest first solve, but I care more about the speed of my solves rather than the accuracy. Eventually I'll get some solves and then I think my accuracy will start to improve. :p

I was stuck at ~5 minutes for 3x3 bld for a while, until I decided to stop reviewing my memory as much. Of course my accuracy was horrible, but I eventually got used to it.

Well okay, if it works for you :) I couldn't take all that dnf'ing. Bld is fun for me because of the feeling you get from a successfull solve.

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