Blindsolving Failure Thread

[fanwuq]

2 DNFs before I went to sleep at night yesterday. I'm trying out numbers for corner memo again, visual isn't working for me lately, probably because I'm way to tired.

1/2 multi in 9:33 at the meetup today
Off by a few edges and corners on the DNF
This is a half failure, half accopmlishment.

BTW, paul did a 2/2 in 8:30 just before my attempt.

I just attempted my first multi bld with 2 cubes and got 1/2. The first cube had just 2 edges and 2 corners swapped.

The time was 16:28.17

I was pretty gutted, but at the same time glad I wasn't that far off.

 

[Faz]

MultiBLD: 0/2 in 9:36
Both cubes were off by 3 corners.

3/4 in 14 minutes. Total failure...

 

[tim]

8/8 in 30:13 (18 min memo). I don't know if i'll ever get fast again...

im really really annoyed. I decided to do a 4x4 bld attempt since i havent done one in a while and want to get a success these holidays. The time was 15:04 and all that i was off by was 3 F***ING CORNERS. I AM NOW VERY VERY ANNOYED AT MYSELF THAT IT WAS OFF BY THAT MUCH!!!!!! I got it on video if anyone wants me to upload it with my reaction at the end..... This has to be one of the closest DNFs ever........

matt - edit out the whole solve except for the last minute.

 

[Rubixcubematt]

OMG, i just got an even closer DNF, I didnt think that it was at all possible. 2 corners. DAMN IT!!!!! i did memo them, just didnt remember at the end when i had 2 do it. the time was 14:56, so its fairly promising that i will get a fast first success. damn, why is this happening 2 me....... (this is also on vid if anyone wants it).

Don't worry, you'll get it soon

I totally feel for you. I had exactly that at the Ohio Open on my first 4x4x4 BLD attempt. 2 corners mispermuted, and I memorized them, but I totally forgot to do them. It was gut-wrenching.

Just relax - you'll get it! Your times are really good!

4x4 BLD DNF after 3 straight successes (my first 3). Off by a three-cycle of centers.

Wow that same thing happen to me!!! I still haven't gotten a successful solve either

wowow, that scramble was just 2 good. I did a 4x4 bld attempt, but it was off by 2 3-cycles of edges. The time was 11:06.17!!!!! the scramble is awesome.

Wow, that's only a failure for you

How fast would you do it normally?

I suppose that scramble has a lot of centers solved, but the way I oriented it, it had double parity - it was actually pretty tough for me, despite the centers.

I got a 9:31.96 (3:56) DNF - I had one 3-cycle of edges left. I'm not sure where I went wrong on it.

So you're getting pretty good at this, for someone who still hasn't had a successful solve yet!

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

I have no time for a blindsolve now, but I speedsolved that, got a 52.02

I'll try it blind later...
