39.30 DNF L2 D' L2 D2 F2 U R2 F2 L2 F2 U2 B' U' R2 F R2 D2 L' F D2 B' D2 Would have been PB if success. Memo'd 2 edge targets on the wrong side of the stickers.

First 23 cube attempt though.
2 flipped edges, 4 corners, accidental/missed move, and something bad.

That's still pretty good! What's your 21 cube PB/have you tried 22 cubes?

Thanks. Still 20/21(the one on cam). I've only had 17 cubes since my competition, I got 6 new ones and that's all I've done with them.

Aghh first 5BLD attempt DNF

Off by a 3 cycle of midges and two T centers... This is probably closer than my best 4BLD haha. Hopefully I can get a success in both at Nats. Gonna be a long shot, though.

You have a pretty good shot. That's close, and you also technically solved all the pieces of a 4BLD.

17/21 56:40.36[32:45.13]

4 edges (the first cube :/)
2 edges 2 corners (missed parity seemingly)
5 corners (weird)
And one where all the corners were solved but no edges. It turned out mis-oriented so I must have rotated before edges.

= a bit faster and a bit more accurate.

Edit: omg, there was only a 0.33 second difference in the execution between this and above post.

DNF DNF DNF = DNF

Any of the successes would've won the comp, fastest DNF was 1:30 off by a lot, so regardless your 1:26 wasn't close to beaten.
Last 6 BLD solves have been official I'm pretty sure

4:24.88[1:08.59] L2 B F' L' B2 Fw' F L R' U' Rw' D Fw2 Rw U D Rw' B' Rw' L2 Fw L' D F' B Fw Uw L' Fw R2 L D' Rw Fw B L Rw R Fw L'

DNF by 2 centers. Would've been PB by >30 seconds. Mega easy scramble though.

Hate to post here so much but...

Just finished up memo on a 4BLD (Felt sub-1:20), then I looked up and I hadn't even started the timer.
7 corners, 24 wings, 16 centers. Could've easily been PB.

Do you know how many attempts I did before that 22 minutes 7BLD? This thread had to be clogged by them. But nobody cares about such DNFs, only successful attempts could be cool and *interesting*

I definitely post too much here. I'll try to cut back on sucking at bld and posting about it

I don't know how many 7BLD attempts you did, but I can imagine how painful the DNFs are. When I try 7BLD I'll probably end up clogging this thread anyway.

6BLD DNF (12:55.64)[5:50.79] by three x-centers. Threecycled in wrong direction.

 

[AJ Blair]

4BLD DNF (6:50.30)[3:30.xy] off by 4 centers. Would have beaten my PB by over two minutes.

...
I still haven't got a Mo3 since the first day I got a BLD success. I got this earlier today:

The third solve was off by r2 U' M U2 M' U' r2
Then I noticed this...

Can I count that as a Mo3 even though they were from different sessions?

 

[goodatthis]

I'm currently compiling all of my 4 and 5BLD DNFs and once I get a success in one of them, I'll make a montage of fail and upload it

Also, at Nats, every one of my 11 attempts in a blindfolded event was a DNF/DNS. I just don't do well under pressure, I guess. Plus it was just kinda hectic. Idk how I didn't get a success in 3BLD though, I usually do pretty well at home. Probably the noise.

 

[TDM]

1/3 official MBLD. One cube off by a 3-cycle of edges and a 3-cycle of corners, and another off by two swapped corners and an edge 4-cycle.

E: DNF, DNF, DNF in comp. Second scramble was DNF(2:38); very easy scramble.

 

[Cale S]

4 of my last 5 attempts at 5BLD:
11:38.16 5BLD DNF by 3 x-centers
13:54.94 5BLD DNF by 9 x-centers
12:21.43 5BLD DNF by 3 x-centers
15:29.24 5BLD DNF by 3 x-centers

I think it's obvious what piece type I need to work on.

2-7 BLD relay DNF by a threecycle on a 5x5. The mistake was doing an alg for its opposite case.

No! So close! Question: Is a 9BLD memo longer or shorter than a 2-7? Thanks!
