Blindsolving Failure Thread

I mostly cannot recall corner memo again after a 3bld solve if I go fullspeed...

If you reapply the scramble and rememorize, you can't even recall that, "yeah, that seems like what I had before"? I'm fascinated by that. Perhaps that is a significant difference between a 1 minute solver and a 30 second solver?

Well it might feel familiar if I do the corner memo again for the same scramble but I couldn't necessarily "reconstruct" the memo in my mind just by seeing the first 2 letters of corner memo again. I would have to actually memo the corners all over again and then I probably would find it somewhat familiar.

Unlike in 4BLD if I forget one "image"/sentence from my memo completely then I almost always can easily recall whole sentence if I see what the first 2 letters of that sentence should be.

Audio is just so short term for me that it disappears from my mind almost instantly (which is good since then I can do many 3bld solves in a row without my memo being too "full" from previous attempts...)

I can barely remember anything of 4BLD solves as soon as I've finished, let alone corners on a 3BLD - I think it's because I don't really visualize as vividly as I used to. In fact, on my fastest 4BLD solves I don't visualize at all.

4BLD DNF (20:38.58)

Off by 5 centers. Not bad for my first 4BLD attempt in over a year.

Haven't been posted it earlier because SS didn't work. I made another attempt fo 2-7 relay on winter vacation (I was in my parent's home where I left all my puzzles). This time it was off by 2 centers on 4x4. This event suck.

Keep going [emoji8]

7BLD - DNF (39:00.35 [17:30])

Off by 4 outer +-centers, 2 outer x-centers, 8 inner wings, 10 outer wings, 4 midges, and 4 corners
This was by far my closest attempt so far, even though I thought it would be completely scrambled.

Spoiler

Edit: okay just realized this is post #5000 in this thread

I had no idea you're still cubing. Keep going! No one has ever done it! You can be first first 9BLD and 2-7BLD solver.

 

[timeless]

3BLD - 9:00:78 off by 2 edges/2 corners

 

[the super cuber]

12/16 official multi blind in 1:00

i had completed 13 cubes in 1 hour out of which 12 were solved when the time ran out. it was very cold in the room so my tps was slow which caused the execution to be longer than expected. i will try to attempt 18 next comp

 

[FailCuber]

3BLD off by 2 corners and 2 edges.

 

[penguinz7]

3BLD off by 2 corners and 2 edges.

So close! You'll get it soon.

 

[Berd]

He's right, keep going!

 

[FailCuber]

again, 3bld off by 2edges and 2corners The weird thing is i did 7 targets for edges and 6 targets for corner is this normal?

 

[Berd]

No. You will either have a even amount of targets for both or an odd amount. You must of mis memoed.

First successful attempt in months is sub30 lol.

yet another 7BLD DNF...

38:55.95 [16:55]

Corners and midges can both be solved with a B2, and it's also off by 6 left obliques, 4 right obliques, 6 inner +-centers, 8 inner x-centers, 8 outer +-centers, 10 outer x-centers, 10 inner wings, and 11 outer wings. The unsolved pieces are equally spread out around the cube. It seems like forgetting to undo setups is the main cause of my DNFs (except on this solve I know I also did parity on outer wings in a way that doesn't work).

I'm hoping to get a success before the 28th (5 more days) because that's exactly 1 year after my first 3BLD success

 

[Rainbow Flash]

Two weeks ago my 3BLD success rate was like 1/4, but for some reason it has dropped to 0% and I haven't gotten a single success the last few days. I'm so mad! I think I'm doing my M2 setup moves wrong. I'll keep working on edges-only until I'm confident with that.

2x2 - 5x5 relay
Off by D' and a few midges on 5x5. Forgot to do setup move back in the very end of the solve. 30:23.xy [20:xy.ab]
