Blindsolving Failure Thread

[G2013]

Official failure this time!

I've been practicing 3BLD a huge lot lately, had a comp this weekend, DNFed every solve on the 1st round so I didn't make it to the finals next day
Times: 0:52, 1:20 with huge pause, 0:42.
The NR is 50.90 since 2011 u.u

Also, on 4BLD I DNFed a 6:49 because I forgot to undo an R move after executing the final 3 wings, and I DNFed a ~7:05 because of 3 corners and 2 centers. NR is 15 mins XD

But I'll post my official 4bld success on BLD accomplishments!

The worst part of all this is that my next comp is in August :'(

DNF(5:24.67 [3:16.98]) off by 5 wings. I recalled the memo but for some reason I didn't execute it

Just started 5BLD about one week ago, last WE I went on several failed attempts on many pieces, discovered that some of my center comms were wrong and many could be really improved.

So I went on centers-only scrambles in the last couple of days. Tonight first 5BLD attempt since last Sunday, took my time for both memo and solving, I really wanted a success.
Just forgot one flipped midge, that I memoed visually but forgot to execute. Everything else was perfect. 15'46 with 9'24 memo.
Seriously !!!!???

Maybe I should go for it once more this evening.

Got my fastest 3BLD DNF. If I'd flipped the edge it would have been PB2 at worst.

 

[pinser]

DNF(4:20.95) because I forgot to undo a R2 setup. Would've been PB by a lot.

 

[Riddler97]

6BLD DNF (40:57.91) by two swapped centres, just missed them in memo...

 

[joshsailscga]

If you messed up an edge comm but the cube was still solved, you must not have messed up the edge comm lol

Assuming he meant *do wrong comm* *undo wrong comm* *do right comm* *crap there goes my concentration did I do that right after all?*

 

[Scruggsy13]

5:24.167 4BLD DNF by a lot. Memo and centers were amazing, but I think I did an r when I meant to do r2 in wings, and then it just went downhill from there.

This is my fastest attempt though, so hopefully I'll be getting a faster success soon.

 

[KAINOS]

Did my first 4bld attempt and got a 29:19.68 DNF because of 4 centers. Still pretty decent though

Edit: Figured out what I did wrong. I shot to Rbd instead of Rbu and Ufr instead of Ubl...

33.33 DNF, somehow missed the flipped edge in memo...
one of the easiest bld scramble I have ever seen...

 

[Riddler97]

5BLD DNF (10:16.90 [4:29.25]) by 3 centers, think I just skipped a letter pair. Would've been PB by over a minute...

 

[pinser]

DNF(5:40.04) by twisted corner
DNF(5:59.64) by 3 corners
DNF(5:56.61) because I can't execute corners

Time to do some corners only scrambles...

E: 5:28.03 DNF by 3 corners. Would've been PB by 3 seconds

Well RIP my PB mean, last one I went to the wrong side of an edge, resulting 2 flipped edges

I had this scramble in a competition at the weekend (part of a 4/5 MBLD attempt):

D' B2 L2 B2 R2 F2 R' B L' F L U2 L' F' L2 R2 D' F Uw'

I got edges fine, but was left with a 3-cycle of corners. The corner memo, using speffz, was:

BH TN PM VD I

DI was for the UFL corner which was twisted but somehow ended up as part of the incorrect 3-cycle. The other two were UFR and UBR.

This makes no sense to me, as those targets weren't consecutive in the memo.

Can anyone explain how this happened...? It's probably really obvious, but I just can't figure it out.

 

[newtonbase]

It looks OK to me. Might you have mixed up the setup for M and N at the end of the last cycle (before the corner twist)?

Edit: No, I can't replicate it with that.

 

[YouCubing]

18:46[8:21] 5BLD DNF, off by a lot of pieces but at least I know I can sub20

 

[mark49152]

Can anyone explain how this happened...? It's probably really obvious, but I just can't figure it out.

I'm assuming you're using OP, and twisting the corner by solving the targets individually.

You can't have solved D and I consecutively otherwise you would have twisted it OK regardless of other mistakes. On the other hand, missing out or substituting either of those individually cannot corrupt both other top corners. So my thoughts are that you made more than one error, but I have no idea beyond that.
