Blindsolving Failure Thread

yes I do use known scrambles (csTimer) I just don't place them in order but I suppose that would help a lot. Thx, will go try that!

Also recording Can be a big help

 

[Dylan Swarts]

Yeah I do do that too, just decided not too atm cause of reasons hah. I remember I started learning Orozco because of you. Thx very much! Haven't put enough effort in until recently but thanks for the survival guide!

Glad it’s been of help to you

13:56 7bld DNF by a slice lol
I think I did an r where i should have done an r'
6:58/6:57 splits

hopefully next success can be sub-13

I'm a failure too...

 

[Connor Yungbluth]

40.64 mo3 fail

I have several sub 40 fails but the DNF was off by 1 move (most likely) so this one really stings

oof, first 4bld attempt so I guess its normal

 

[sigalig]

37:51 2-7bld relay DNF by a missed move on 2x2 (spent like 30 seconds trying to figure out how to fix the suspected mistake lol), and 2 obliques on 7x7 cus i recalled L instead of K for a parity letter

 

[sigalig]

39:04 2-7bld dnf by 2x on 6 and 2x on 7
40:11 2-7bld dnf right after by 3 centers on 4 lol

Somehow 2-7bld is like literally the most frustrating endeavor I've encountered in blindsolving, to this day. Idk why it's so hard to get 100% solved, shouldn't be thaaaat much more difficult than a 20/20 mbld, and I'm safetying memo pretty hard still

2-7 relay: killing BLDers dreams since 2009.
I remember this attempt by @Mike Hughey was one of the first BLD videos I saw, one of those that motivated me to learn BLD

 

[Dylan Swarts]

This is the worst 3bld scramble ever. (or well that's how I feel right now after messing up the first alg of the solve and then giving up) It has about like 4 cycle breaks for edges. Corners suck aswell, try it.

I'm so bad with bad scrambles. 2:11.66 (1:15.96) At least I got it right.

 

[Cale S]

first attempt at 9x9 blindfolded - 1:27:49 DNF
most pieces are solved but still looks pretty messy

this was a lot harder than I expected and I don't feel confident with the 3 innermost layers, so I'm not sure if I want to try this again soon

 

[Mike Hughey]

so I'm not sure if I want to try this again soon

I just want to clarify that my "like" applies (wholeheartedly!) to all except this part of the post.

 

[Dylan Swarts]

@Mike Hughey Why don't you try 9BLD? You have an 8bld success and you compete in 6bld and 7bld quite often.

@Mike Hughey Why don't you try 9BLD? You have an 8bld success and you compete in 6bld and 7bld quite often.

I would, but I haven't ever gotten around to getting a 9x9x9. And because of my having a weird color scheme, I can't just borrow one from someone else.
Someday.

4bld DNF by 3 centers, would have been PB

 

[Cale S]

9BLD attempt 2:
1:28:23 DNF by 33 centers, 46 wings/midges, and 5 corners (78% of pieces solved, 89% of centers solved)

corners can be solved with L U2 L' U2, not sure what this means

Felt a lot more confident with execution this attempt
