Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Mike Hughey]

I haven't got a sub10 success but all my attempts have been sub10 or sub9 lately

I figured that had to be. Surely you've used up all your bad luck for now? The next one has to be a success. Gogogo!

3:58.25 DNF

All the corners and 3 edges solved. ^^

 

[porkynator]

1:58.63 - first sub2.... dnf by 2 edges it was also very lucky, 4 edges skip

15/18 in 1:54:30[1:17:30]

-3 cycle of corners
-3 cycle of edges
-3 cycle of edges + 3 cycle of corners

Me memo always starts of extremely slow but after the first several cubes I pick up the pace a bit. I videod the execution just incase I got a perfect 18/18. I really don't care and can't be bothered discovering what I did wrong. It's 2:45am and I just want to relax my brain and clean my routes for another time. Although quite a bit of effort is needed, I do enjoy doing big multi attempts.

EDIT: Ok, I had to determine why my first cube was off by a 3 cycle of edges!!! It turns out I forgot to execute the first 2 edges which I memorised visually. :fp

Bad luck

15/18 is still pretty good though!

 

[Zane_C]

Thanks.
I'm determined to solve 18/18. <18 solved is a failure to me.

3x3 DNF
2 corners twisted.
Almost got 5:22.34. (Is this a good time?)

That depends. How long have you been BLD-solving?

That depends. How long have you been BLD-solving?

My first BLD solve was last night.
Today i have succeed 4 times.

Since I'm starting to get faster (for me), around 2:50-3:30, I figured I'd try to get a solve on tape. I literally just had 16 DNFs in a row. Blind is so annoying sometimes.

 

[blakedacuber]

Reading tuis makes me mor inspired to learn BLD lo I can do edges almost... First try was of by 2 permutions btw what's the easiest conErs method??

 

[RyanReese09]

Easiest? Probably Old Pochmann. I use it and I find it easy.

 

[Kynit]

AUGH

4:18.41 [2:15] DNF because I forgot to switch my M slice targets with parity... would have been a 1:30 PB!

(I need to practice BLD more often )

 

[RyanReese09]

4:59.xx DNF. Knew I undid a setup move wrong, tried to fix it but I knew I screwed that up as well, took off blindfold and I could see remnants of my mess. Memo felt solid. Coulda been a PB. Memo'd edges in 1:01. Need to learn lettering for corners..<_<

 

[Shortey]

3:10.91 DNF

Would be close to my PB.

Very slow. I probably should've just went to bed, I was yawning right from the start.
In the execution there were 3 cubes that I wasn't too confident with:

Cube 2: While executing a corner A9 I was counting to make sure I got 9 moves, I lost attention for a split second and I was unsure whether I did a correct U2 or a U.
Cube 4: I use images to memorise twisted and flipped pieces, there was a corner that I recalled seeing flipped but I had no image for it. So I decided to go with my visual opinion.
Cube 18: I thought I may have twisted a corner.

I watched the video straight after and discovered it was the second cube which was a DNF, for the same reason I feared. :fp

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Blargggg... Would have been a new PB by 11 seconds. I was only off by a Y-perm.../rQ!:fp It's a beautiful scramble though. Try it out!

[Zane_C]

I'll upload an 18/18 when I get it, this was too slow and it failed. I deleted it anyway, waste of space.
