Blindsolving Failure Thread

2nd fastest ever 3BLD for me but putting it down as a failure thanks to yet another sub30 fail. Locked up badly on the corner twisting alg at the end :| 30.73 B2 D U2 R2 B2 R2 F2 U B2 R2 D2 B R F2 R' D2 U R F U L2
 
that's how bad my accuracy is... but memo time improved :D

Off by 2 corners. Fastest attempt out of the few 4BLD attempts I did (they were all DNFs :p)

3 X centers, accidentally executed FM as MF :/
 

Once I've adapted to one-pass memo these sorts of mistakes should go away - the first scramble had 4 flipped midges, but I missed the fourth midge at DB and mistook that my buffer piece needed flipping. On the second scramble I missed an isolated 3-cycle during memo, which is easy to do if you're one-passing (counting, ain't nobody got time for dat).

Wow, that's amazing. I guess someday I need to try one-way memo too once I have a free time for cubing again.
GJ!

Inspiring, nonetheless :)

Nice. It's interesting to see how 5BLD memo is progressing to one-passing when I still have trouble not reviewing 4BLD centers :P

10:40 memo, my execution always seems around 5 mins with U2/r2/OP. Is that slow?

4BLD dnf by 3 corners. Did audio for them which was a bad idea. forgot 2 letters, had to guess them and they were wrong obviously :^) executes TI instead of DT

Unable to get a successful 3BLD solve ahead of tomorrow's comp. Best attempt was 3 cycled pieces due to recall error which would have been a significant PB but still more than half the max time allowed.
 
First comp and I took 9 mins to rescramble the cube. Judge said I undid a setup wrongly on the third corner buy I think there were more mistakes than just that. Memo felt good but was too nervous to concentrate.
 
my last 5 4bld solves, epic fail. I should memorise my corners better lel. but I think the key is to just practise, so I will keep going :D btw from 30 mins to ~13-14 in 7 attempts :^)

5BLD 16:16 DNF, first attempt of 2015. At least 2 wrong turns somewhere I think, so can't tell if anything else went wrong. It was meant to be a safe attempt. Also, apparently the timer app I used has BLD mode where I tap after doing memo and again at the end of execution, but doesn't tell me my memo time. Wat.
