Blindsolving Failure Thread

[newtonbase]

3 attempts at the same 3x3 scramble during my lunch break today. 3 different results. Execution was appalling on the 1st 2 and then I lost my place on the third (everything I'd done was correct). Granted people were chatting to me during the solve but it's still poor. Blind solving really doesn't suit my lifestyle. I get no me time.

Attempted 4BLD! DNF, but not by a whole lot.

 

[CyanSandwich]

7BLD DNF(1:06:52.26)[29:41.02]

Off by 40 pieces. But that's a whole lot closer than previously.

 

[TDM]

4BLD DNF - 19:53.08. Knew I'd made a mistake during centres, then again during edges. In the end I was off by 12 centres, 12 edges and 2 corners.

Wasted 2 minutes at the start memorising the wrong pieces, so memo could have been sub-12 (or sub-8 not including review).

Another 2-7 relay DNF(1:47:08.16[1:14:58.19]). Long memo (it was a bit harder this time - lots of similar letter-pairs that I need to think of another images, lot edges of cycles etc) and rushed execusion, and this attempt was closer to success than my previous "accurate" attempt. So yes, not to cary about something is the key to succeed in it. Btw, 7x7 execution was 13:xx, which is slightly slower than the 7BLD UWR execution (but maybe this is the reason of DNF )

Damn Roman, you've gotten close a lot of times. Good luck with the next one.

I got a 7BLD DNF that was actually close yay.

55:09.42[24:51.00] - off by 3 left obliques, 2 right obliques, and 3 inner +centers

DNF by a few wings. I'm guessing it was an execution mistake

 

[CyanSandwich]

7BLD DNF by some wings, x-centers and midges. But this is the first time all the obliques were solved.

 

[penguinz7]

4BLD DNF, 17:52.
Third attempt.
2 Centers, 8 wings, and 4 corners off. No idea why.

DNF by 2 corner twists Accidentally twisted the wrong one. Closest I've gotten to a success in a long time

It's cool how I'm starting to like 5BLD again after over a year

The 42.75 was off by 2 corner twists (twisted them in the wrong direction). the 48.52 was off by 2 corner twists as well, but I think I forgot to memo them. The last one was a mess

The first 5 solves make a 35.53 avg5 though, close to PB

My two official 4BLD attempts from the last weekend:

First one: Off by 4 wings I think. On the second to last target I shot to the yellow sticker instead of the blue one on the yellow blue edge. The rest was fine :/. However it was reaaaaly slow because I searched for a mistake during my memo which wasn't there.

Second one: Off by 4 Centers. Must've shot to wrong center at some point. Checked the scramble again and my memo was correct. With 26 minutes it was my fastest attempt yet.

Keep going you tank! What are your splits like?

1:10-1:40 memo, 1:00 execution.
