Blindsolving Failure Thread

[joey]

I tried to solve it blindfolded without doing memo

? You must have memoed something. If you didn't, and just did random turns... then why are you posting.

 

[jcuber]

I was being sarcastic.

I tried to solve it blindfolded without doing memo or even being able to do it using a blind method w/o a blindfold. I must have messed up at the very beginning, because it went horribly wrong for some reason.

Didn't someone try to do that with a 2x2 and managed to get a +2 on it instead at Boulder 2008?

14:48.95 4x4x4 BLD DNF

This one was really close!!! Only off by a 3-cycle of edges !!!! This might be my second closest solve but I'm not exactly sure.

EDIT: I just went back through this thread and figured out that I have had 17 straight DNF's (including this one) and no successes.

14:48.95 4x4x4 BLD DNF

This one was really close!!! Only off by a 3-cycle of edges !!!! This is probably my second closest and maybe my fastest but I'm not sure.

You're getting closer! Your accuracy is improving as well. You'll have it soon!

Thanks man!

1. Memo: 1:25
Rest: 25hours 20 minutes
Execution: 1:28.43 DNF
Forgot to execute the last corner flip!!!!
I was trying to get it on video and I was too excited to finish that I forgot the last part.
Oh, and I have the video! My mom came in during the middle and distracted me.

18:xx.xx 4x4x4 BLD DNF

I wasn't really focused when I did this and I was also kinda hungry. I got a lot of pieces off too. anyway, this adds to my 18 DNF streak

12 hour memo delay BLD, DNF. Excution mistake off by 3 edges and one move set up.

Ville Seppänens second BLD 5x5x5 attempt at the Swedish Cubday competition. Failure but only only a few edges and centers off!
Total time including inspection was 10:48.xx.
The music is the finnish group Bomfunk MC's 1999 hit Freestyler!

I suck at BLD in competition. Should've slept earlier.

4x4x4 14:03.xx BLD DNF

This one was way off, although I'm certain that I had everything memorized and solved correctly. I think when I have DNF's like this (where I know I memo correctly and solve correctly) it improves my times. When I started, I got times around 24 minutes. 19 DNF's later, I'm at 14. That's 10 minutes off. By the time I actually get one successfully I'll probably have a sub-10 time.

30:33.xx 5x5 BLD DNF.

Second attempt ever! I was off by a few + centers and three wings. I need to learn some better ways to do certain things.

 

[fanwuq]

3:20 DNF and 2:54 DNF in Homeroom.

 

[fanwuq]

Several horrible DNFs ranging from 2:40 to 6:30 on the bus and in my last period class. I just can't seem to focus because I'm so tired. Most of them were around 3:40. It seems that my visual memory gets really bad when I'm tired.

 

[deco122392]

i by far have the biggest dnf ever.... i had 1 edge done when finished...... all from forgeting a single F'

 

[joey]

Hmm, really? That seems weird to have such a bad mistake from a single wrong turn..

 

[Ville Seppänen]

Maybe it's weird because it's impossible?

 

[Derrick Eide17]

Maybe it's weird because it's impossible?

LOL

 

[qqwref]

Maybe he also got half the cube wrong by doing the wrong cycles too >_>

I think a lot of my DNFs are doing a cube rotation wrong somewhere and then ending up with a completely scrambled cube... oh well
