4x4x4 BLD DNF 15:31.55
I still haven't gotten a successful 4x4x4 BLD solve. It really sucks!!!! This time, I went a lot faster on the memo though, which decreased my time a lot! However, I think I went a little too fast on the last few edges, because I couldn't recall them near the end of my solve.

11 Straight DNFs.
This is starting to get really frustrating.

13. Not going to sleep until this has ended. And in a reasonable time, I'm not going super slow just to bs a solve.
Just don't get it, it's tough when you don't know what you've done wrong. And it's always just a little thing.

Go Kian - you'll get one soon!
As for me:
Megaminx: DNF (1:27:02.30, 38:04)
First scramble for this week's competition. 9 edges incorrect, 4 corners twisted, all corners permuted correctly. I think I may have a problem with my corner orientation calculation method. I'm not sure what went wrong on the edges, but I think I might have cycled a couple of them the wrong direction, which could theoretically account for all of them. Memory was solid, but then again I went over it a bunch of times because I didn't want memory to be a problem. Anyway, it was a credible first try. It's really tough, though, so I don't think I'll try again this week. I'm solving one piece at a time, Pochmann-style, using some algorithms that really aren't very good for this sort of thing, but they work.

Good Mike, you finally tried it. And not a bad result in my opinion. I would have no idea how to use orient first, although I'm getting some ideas while writing this sentence...
Anyway, good job and good luck in your next attempt. I'm sure you'll get sub1 sometime.

Finally got round to actually trying some 4x4x4 BLD, with my eyes actually closed 
Tried solving just centres using commutators as described in Mike Hughey's thread. It was a complete fail, all were incorrect but I filmed it and checked the video and the only mistake I made was undoing the set up move F', with F'... I'll get centres soon, then I'll try edges and then a full solve
Also, my first 3 cube multi BLD attempt. Got 2/3 in roughly 26 minutes (18 mins memo) I was just a T perm off on the first cube.. Video here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3i79DPeo7p0
Was really close

did a 2x2x2-5x5x5 BLD relay and had 2 flipped edges on the 5x5x5, cause i had parity(middle edges and corners) and when i flipped the edge i didnt think about the fact, that i have to wait to the very end, cause the UB and UL middle edges are swapped.
i didnt know that/didnt think about that...normally i ALWAY do it in the very end, WHYYYYYYY NOT THIS TIME????:confused::confused::confused:
and i made a video
WHYYYYY DID THAT HAPPEN???I know i can do it!!!

haha, thanks mike. i just had a bad day. 15 dnfs in one day was pretty rough. i went to bed after a success at 16 in 5:39, which is about my average. didn't post that here originally though, as it wasn't a failure, haha.

I had two 3x3 failures yesterday (i'm still getting into 3x3 BLD), but it was in front of about 20 people. Somehow the one dude knew i was into cubing, and nagged me to do it BLD, so i said i'd give it a shot. The first time was incredibly close, the second time was terrible. What a bummer
1/3 multiBLD. Well, it's my first multi with 2< cubes. Time was 15:4X.
2nd cube was off by 2 misoriented edges. I probably either placed my 3rd cube on my desk wrongly or I messed up my EO a little. Not sure what happened to the 2nd.
Oh well, I don't think I'll be trying another multi anytime soon - at least not until I get used to my letter scheme. For this attempt I used numbers for the edges of 1 cube, and visual for everything else.

5:22.19 DNF. My first attempt at freestyle corners, for Joey's competition. The corners were actually the closest part of the solve. It went surprisingly well.

That's one video I'd love to see (just your reaction at the end).

Similar situation with me only about 5 times slower. 4x4x4 BLD DNF 19:xx.xx. This time was my closest solve ever. I had all of the centers and edges correct, but I forgot to swap 2 corners
! I memo'ed them but I for got to solve them which sucks. I even had recall issues with edges and I had to answer a phone, but I still managed to get that part right.EDIT: 4x4x4 BLD DNF 12:20.16
This one was faaaast! I didn't really have any issues that much with memo and recall, but for some reason I was off by a setup move and if i undid the setup move then I was off by 5 edges xD

I was interviewed at our national TV, asked to solve a rubik's cube, and I did it in 20.12 (a little better than my average).
Then I was asked to do a BLD solve, but wasn't told about a time limit
I was memorizing the edges, and the people were like "GO GO GO!" so I had to go ahead and do it. I only did the edges and the cube didn't look like anything.
WOW that was a DISASTER!
