0/2 on two of the easiest scrambles I've had.

Managed to substitute the word "mop" in place of the correct word "wash" in my journey. Given that M is my buffer you would think I'd spot the error before I got to the piece.

15/21 in 55:17.69 [34:30]

My MBLD accuracy is so terrible... and I don't even think slower memo would help it, because this was pretty safe

 

[CyanSandwich]

Got a 6x6 today (and 7x7), so naturally I did my first 6BLD attempt.

(48:57.42)[19:39.18]
DNF by most of the cube. No corners correct. Most of the inner-xcenters were solved and some other centers I think.

 

[Cale S]

5BLD DNF - 5:49.68 off by 3 centers + two twisted corners :'(

also would have made a 6:34.13 mo3

So yesterday I did another terrible 2-7 relay attempt off by some centers on 6x6 and 7x7. I tried to make as accurate solve (and memo) as possible, and what I noticed is the more I care about the solve, the more nervious I became and the bigger chance to make a mistake I have. So the moral of the story is YOLO and all my next 2-7 attempts will be rush.

Keep going!

Yes, that has always been my experience. Trying to go careful does absolutely nothing for BLD accuracy, for me at least. Really rushing fast can decrease accuracy for me, but if I just go at a comfortable-but-still-quite-fast speed, that's how I always get my best accuracy, even on the biggest attempts.

That's interesting to know...

Sub-1:30 DNF... such an easy scramble.

Not seeing the easyness of it, I got a 1:42.

 

[TDM]

Not seeing the easyness of it, I got a 1:42.

one solved edge, two twisted corners right next to each other in a really easy case (faster to solve than solving them normally), and the letter pairs made really easy images (I think I had something to do with a PC GaMe that SUcked and a CAr on FiRe, can't remember)

Edit: yeah, that was my edge memo. I never saw the flipped edge...

7BLD DNF(1:10:29.10)[30:33.58]

Off by a lot like my first 6BLD DNF. Hopefully my 2nd attempt will be like my 2nd 6BLD attempt then.

Thank God it's not just me!

Same here. And the only successful 9BLD attempt was also the fastest. So yeap

Another 7BLD DNF by a lot - 55:46.76[25:51.39]

Any tips for turning the correct layer?

Edit: I must've rotated the cube at some point because all the outer x-centers are solved with an x

Roman made a tutorial for 6x6+ cubes blindfolded, and I believe he talks about a technique to turn the correct layer. Sorry, I don't have a link.

Oh cool. Watching it now. I never watched it because I already knew how to solve 6+ BLD.

I was searching for this thread but couldn't find it for some reason
4th 4BLD attempt from yesterday 28:50.28 [20:xx.xx] Off by 2 Centers a a couple of wings.
Centers got destroyed because I used Uw' L' Uw for the LB target. Apparently I only works on 3x3 ... oh well.
Wing memo was correct but I forgot to check for corner parity so the UB and UL edge were flipped all the time.

I went really safe on that one which paid off because the Memo was correct and I didn't forget it
