Blindsolving Failure Thread

DNF because I didn't execute 3x3 edges on a 5BLD in comp.

I just did corners, parity, then somehow forgot to execute 3x3 edges and started doing wings instead... Would've been a success.

That sucks. At home I once got most of the way through execution and was just about to start on midges... then realised I had forgotten to memo them .

***, I knew it was gonna be sub 30 but not this fast. Annoyed because I did the inverse of a corner comm twice so had a decent chance at sub 22 >.< still pb 3bld single tho

Guess I'll just wait for another 10/6 scramble to show up

Next two were DNFs. Failure because PB is 38.97, and this should've been an easy roll.

I'm new to 3BLD so my success rate at the moment is pretty poor (maybe 20%), I tend to be pretty close on a lot of the DNFs but a few are completely off. I'm not sure if these DNFs are due to misremembering the memo or the memo being inherently bad.

I never go back and re-scramble to see what went wrong. Do you guy think I should, or I should just move onto the next solve?

Thanks

Just check your memo more. Back when I started I review at least twice before starting the solve.

Yes, it might be a good idea. You don't need to rescramble usually, just see which pieces are off and try to figure out if it was a memorization or an execution mistake. I wouldn't waste much time with cubes that completely off though, you may have just done one ore two wrong moves.

Just check your memo more. Back when I started I review at least twice before starting the solve.

I would advise against it actually. If you have just started BLD it is crucial to get fast quickly, so you can do more attempts without feeling tired. Reviewing memo too much makes solves awfully slow. Accuracy comes with time. Of course if you are quite fast already (what "quite fast" means depends on your goals) you can practice accuracy by double-checking your memo.

I really appreciate you guys taking the time to give me advice, thanks

fuuuuh

guess I'll never get a sub 40 ao12 at this rate (I've had at least like 5 similar fails to this)

off by a wing 3cycle. PB is about 4:30

5BLD in 5:29.89 with a 42 second pause
fun stuff

first sub-6 in forever, done with my new stickerless WeiChuang

mfw 4BLD DNF by 3 wings. never gotten a success before ;-;

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

5:02 [2:27] 4bld dnf by 3 wings, PB is 5:09
14:31[9:11] 5bld dnf by 3 wings and an r slice move somehow

I suck 5bld is my longests standing PB now

ugh.....

First mbld attempt in a couple months: 9/12 55:52.70[37:33.76]. 2 points under PB
Better than my last attempt at 12 cubes though. Still frustrating because one cube was off by one edge target (though for some reason I still remembered to fix parity?), another was off by 4 edge targets, and another off by 4 corner targets. The 4 corners fail was frustrating because it was my most recently memorized cube aside from the short term memo cube (so the 11th one memorized) but I couldn't remember the last 4 letters.
Always feels like ~1 hour down the drain when this happens. Hopefully I get 12/12 next time, though I'm not sure when I'll have time/patience to try that again

UPDATE: Felt frustrated, so I tried 12 cubes again, got 9/12 again. DNFs: 1. twisted a corner the wrong way, 2. Fixed parity and then thought that I forgot to fix parity so I fixed it again lolllllllllllll, 3. probably messed up one comm, top layer is shifted a bit. Deliberately spent more time on memo this time too. Ughhhhhh I just wanna feel that perfect mbld success rush again! Its been too long

 

[Cale S]

first attempt at 4BLD OH: 9:58.79 off by some centers and a 5-cycle of wings
