Blindsolving Failure Thread

First 4BLD attempt had ~75% of the cube solved in 32:02. 2 flipped corners and a lot of edges and the l amd r slices. I think I did the centers correctly.

Here is the scramble
DNF(32:02.31) B2 L2 D2 B' U2 F U2 R2 D2 B' D U' B L' R' D U L' D' Uw2 L R' B Rw2 B' R' F' L' B' Rw2 Fw2 L D' Rw2 D' R' Uw B' Fw Uw' D' R2 Uw' Fw D2 x' @2023-03-23 18:04:18

Second attempt off by 3 edges and a slice move
26:54.29 D2 U2 F2 D2 L' B2 L R2 B2 L2 D2 F2 B' U' F R B L2 U B D' Fw2 R' F2 Rw2 D' U2 Rw2 L Uw2 Fw2 U' R2 F2 Fw U' L2 Fw R2 B Rw2 Uw' B F' Rw z' y2 @2023-03-23 19:17:16

and 3rd off by two flipped edges
picture is 2nd

I was at UIUC Spring 2023 yesterday. Failed at BLD - only one success, 2:03 (very slow), and 7/12 in multi.

But my big fail was not that - it was that I was in the first group.

The third scramble for the second group was crazy good. I just tried it at home and got a 58.91 on it, when I'm currently averaging like 1:40 or so. (It's my first sub-1 3BLD solve since almost a decade ago!) The amazing scramble:
L2 D2 L2 B2 R2 U' B2 F R2 U L' D' R2 U' F L' D B' F' Rw

I guess only Carter Kucala took advantage of it - he got a 17.81 and won the event. But I saw several others who unfortunately DNFed it, with memo times of like 7 and 8 seconds. I feel so sorry for them - it would have been even worse than being in the wrong group like I was.

This is a very depressing thread

 

[abunickabhi]

I am bad yo!
I travel the entire country just to produce DNFs yo.

 

[abunickabhi]

Good try and attitude.
DNF old style attempt nonetheless yo!

I am a BLD n00b. Learned OP corners a year back, too boring and move intensive solves (I use Roux for more interesting 3x3 solves) - and never got to edges.

Now I just started learning intuitive 3-style with simple 4 step commutators (8 moves) - and sometimes too long setups. Sometimes I learn using the cheat sheet. But unless I concentrate, I keep failing, making everything just as well scrambled as before I started.

If I do it with an on-screen solver, everything is fine (algdb.net etc). But it seems like I end up skipping a step/reversing a move during execution if I do not have the letters to look at. Really annoying. Need to try some more. Really like intuitive 3-style corners over OP, even as a beginners method.

14:02.52 4BLD DNF by 2 centers.I forgot a single letter pair during exe.

 

[VincentCuber]

me trying to do 2bld when i can barely do new cycles

 

[Ordway Persyn]

15:28.20 4bld attempt off by 2 wings, missed them during memo. first attempt in a while though.

Got around to trying out this scramble, and got a 32.02 with 11.77 memo lol. My best single is a 38 and I was using a non-magnetic 3x3 lol

 

[fes_77]

Almost got my first success but messed up on the setup moves for the last letter pair
But I got my first success on the weekly comp yesterday!

There's a typo on this reply that you made that you should fix.

Fixed! Soryyy

What a trash 3bld scramble: D R2 B2 D’ L2 U F2 L2 D R2 U’ R’ FU B’ R’ D’ F’ L B’ Rw2

Looks ok to me, if I do a premove.

 

[abunickabhi]

Stanley being his usual beast and bullying over the entire cubing community.

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

Maybe like a U2 premove to skip 2 corners

 

[abunickabhi]

Yes exactly.

 

[abunickabhi]

Sub-1 even after the +2, this is insane yo.

 

[bldcuber314]

Just did an insane 3BLD attempt. For reference, I average 2 mins on a good day with around 1 minute memo and a 1:33 PB. So I finished memoing edges very quickly, and decided to risk it and didn't check for new cycles(the memo was correct). I finished full memo at around 22s, like a minute faster than bad solves. I executed corners first and got them right. Halfway through the edges, I had memorised AI, but forgot to do it so the solve ended up as 1:03 off by 3 edges. Even though it is a DNF it might be my best 3BLD solve ever.

 

[SpeakCuba]

Didn’t know this thread existed. My most recent fail was a 2:03.xx DNF. I DNFed by 1 edge and 2 corners. For reference, I usually average low 3, so a near sub-2 was pretty unexpected.
