Three 3BLD DNFs, *sigh*...I think I'm gonna go listen to some music instead...BLD is so tiring.

This is me every time I attempt BLD.

4BLD DNF in 7:43.50. Was my 2nd attempt since my first success.

(Notice how all the orange is solved, LOL...)

EDIT: Orange centres, I mean.

Finally got the 2-5 right in a 2-7BLD relay.

Off by some obliques and x-centers on the 6x6, and quite a lot on the 7x7.

Getting a little faster though haha 1:43:27.70[55:30.92]

Sorry to jump in with a question, but seeing CyanSandwiches posts made me want to know, is the 2-7BLD something that's never been completed before?

Yes, although a few people have gotten very close; Mike Hughey had a DNF by 3 wings on 6x6, Brandon Mikel had a DNF by 2 obliques on 7x7, and Roman had a DNF by 2 centers on 4x4 (also another off by 3 centers on 5x5, one with one move done wrong on 3x3, and some others). For at least 6 years, 2-7BLD has been proven to be cursed again and again.

but I still need to try it sometime soon

 

[CyanSandwich]

Oh man. Didn't know about the 2 centers on 4x4 one. That's rough!

 

[Berd]

Someone will do it soon!

Good luck everyone who tries 2-7 relay. It stopped being interesting for me as it's too long and painful to memorize and the success rate is ridiculously small.

Well... It's Zero

Oh come on, Mr. Strakhov, at least try to get the first ever success! After that you can quit (maybe). Please please please don't stop until you get it!

Failed an attempt to get my first ever Ao12 on 3BLD, on the last solve. Shame...

2:29.13, 3:03.05, 3:36.74, 3:09.25, 2:37.98, DNF(3:18.77), 2:33.29, 3:17.25, 2:32.17, 2:03.63, 2:12.67, DNF(2:49.46)

nooooooo

5BLD - 5:24.68 DNF by 3 wings because I forgot to execute LZ

Ooh, so close! Well at least it was sub-WR, and that there wasn't much off anyway.

EDIT: What's your best unofficial success time?

Good job though. Just a matter of time until you sub-WR.

Keep going!

Tried timing a 3BLD solve for the first time as I have my first comp next month and want to get a solve within the 12 min limit. Took me 13 mins with 8 wrong edges. Not promising.

Tried again. Got it down to 9 mins. Wrong by er... everything.
