Blindsolving Failure Thread

9/10 - one edge flip...:rolleyes: In 1:37:07
It was close.

Did your cube pop?

I mean "one edge flip" (as an action). It means "2 edges are flipped".
I want to do this for one last time (for a while) on Swiss Open.

1:21.28, 1:22.65, (1:15.57), 1:28.99, 1:36.29, (1:52.33), 1:22.87, 1:48.91, DNF, DNF

Practicing for talent show. The first DNF was a mistake on U-perm I couldn't correct.
I have two sub-1:15's I could pre-roll from the past few days (haven't been doing BLD much), but that's not enough to get an avg either.

Anyhow, much higher accuracy/speed I thought I could do nowadays. 1:24.31 avg of the first 5. :rolleyes:

Darn, 2/3 MultiBLD failure. I don't know how I stuffed up the edges on the 3rd cube (because there were only 3 incorrect), but I feel I could easily do 4 or even 5 without learning roman rooms, which i will eventually have to learn. Yes, the time was in the limit 13:55.95. I don't know why it was so quick.

 

[martijn_cube]

2:32.07 DNF. missed one DB. so that is : M U2 M U2. damn

 

[Pedro]

39/101 streak :/

but cct screwed up, so I can start again...hopefully with better accuracy now

7x7x7 multiBLD:
DNF (0/2, 2:29:52.93 total time, 1:23:10 memorization time)

First 7x7x7 was off by 3 inner wings and 4 obliques, second 7x7x7 was off by 5 obliques (2 left obliques, 3 right obliques). For the inner wings, I missed because I forgot to do an image. I can't figure out what went wrong on any of the obliques - it's very frustrating. At least the time was pretty good.

I've missed all 3 of my attempts at 7x7x7 multiBLD now. Any normal person would give up now. It's a good thing I'm so abnormal.

I used the first 2 scrambles from this week's competition, so unfortunately that means I'm going to have a DNF average this week. I was hoping I'd at least get one right, so I'd have a ridiculously low average. Oh well.

Close D: You will, of course, get it

Only 3 successes today. Granted everyone keeps saying it's because I took a long break from cubing that's no excuse. I shouldn't be so horrible! Why!?

 

[Zava]

galánta open, nearly total bld failure.
3x3 bld: dnf dnf, on the first I forgot the edged, on the second I made an exec. mistake.
4x4 bld: dnf dnf, on both I regripped with bad orientation around the corners part (y', y'x from my original cube orientation)
multi bld: 4/7 in 52:00, one was off by 2 twisted corners, another one by 3 cycle of corners, and one off by 3 cycle of edges, and corners. second try was 1/2 (2 twisted corners) in 7:08

 

[Jhong253]

grrr this is really bad...

I succeeded solving a 3x3 blindfolded for the first time back in early December at my 2nd attempt (on a ridiculously easy for BLD scramble). I've tried about 20 times ever since and haven't succeeded once. I'm not sure what it is -- maybe I don't have the 3OP (which is what I use) down correctly -- because the cube still looks like some randomly looked cube after the attempt. Even when I actually wrote down the cycles, that didn't change anything at all.

 

[Ellis]

First ever attempt at multi-3x3. I tried 3 cubes, I didn't set a timer for 30 minutes because I only thought it would take half that. Memo took about 20 minutes, I was expecting somewhere around 8min. Corners were hard. I still do pochmann corners then M2 edges (cant switch), and on the first solve I forgot I had parity until I was almost all the way through the edges. I had to backtrack my edges to do a y-perm. It was messy, but a close DNF... second two were solved. Total time was around 31 minutes

 

[KevinK]

First 4x4 BLD attempt: 1:07:43.xx. I did well on centers, but I failed at edges.

 

[oyyq99999]

5x5bld DNF
Only 2 wings(uFL and dFL) swapped and 3 plus center wrong(Lu->Rb->Bu->Lu). Time was 38:31.32. My first sub-40 solve. It's a race with a friend. He does 4x4bld and got 29min DNF.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i just did a solve that was of by 2 edges misoriented, which i memoed, but forgot to do, AND THE TIME WAS 1:17!!!!!!!!! GAH, that would have beaten my previous record by 8 secs. Great scramble though. L U2 R F' B2 D' U L D' U R' B2 L2 U2 B' R U2 D2 B' L F2 L' D B L

Wow I think I ran into the same situation because I was off by 2 edges as well. Your time was a lot faster though, I got like a 1:3x.xx.

Super easy scramble, but DNF. I haven't practiced in about 2 months. I'll get back to it during the summer.

NO!
I went to EPGY Stanford today. No correct pieces, completely normal scramble. I was very confident with my memorization, and it was very fast. Execution was fast and I solved pieces quickly without ever stopping. I was at the very end, last turn, and an edge popped out just as I put the cube down and stopped the timer. DNF. The other two solves were also DNFs.

would it have been a success if it hadn't popped?

EDIT: I will beat you to the list!!! muhahahaha!

Yes it would have been a success if it hadn't popped.

7:19 5x5BLD dnf, 3 +centers off. I cycled them the wrong way. Don't know the memo time, probably 3min.
