Blindsolving Failure Thread

No!
Two DNF's in a row I have failed at visual memo.

1. I inserted the final corner, then thought I put it in the wrong spot and undid it. And of course it was right the first time.

2. I had to twist a corner to what I though was counter clockwise I did that. Would of been solved if I twisted it clockwise.

I haven't had a BLD success in so long and I've been attempting so much!!!

Megaminx?

If so, epic time.

3x3x4

Ah nice, how close was it?

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Middle 2 layers were solved, missed 2 outer edges, and totally screwed up corners :/

Bad times

Have you tried mega yet or given up on that idea?

If he got a time like that on his first megaminx attempt, I think I'd just give up.

Nice job on the 3x3x4, though, Maarten.

I haven't given up, I'm still practising sighted, it's really hard

Oh I'm sure it is haha!!

I thought maybe he'd secretly practised it lots

Clockwise and counterclockwise are easy to get wrong!

Yet another competition with all DNFs in BLD events.

Awwww unlucky . Were you close in any of the big cube blds? And what times were the DNFs?

It's easier to do that when you don't get a shot at 3x3x3 BLD. (Well, for most people, anyway - see my Indiana results for an obvious exception. ) Yes, I'm curious about the details on your DNFs too. Did you almost break a world record?

They were low 7min DNFs for 4x4 BLD (well, one would be, except I gave up in the middle), and then 15:46 for 5x5.

It ends in the m2, and it's scrambled out..

 

[stinkocheeze]

I was blindfold cubing and then I had a small pop (1 edge) and i kept on going.... and then i felt something was wrong so i stopped. Now I can't find the edge !!!!!!!!

1:35.40, 1:34.30, DNF(1:47.26), DNF(1:35.46), DNF(1:50.97)
The first DNF was a massive fail, but the other two were off by 2 misoriented corners each =\

1 corner flipper?
Thats not possible is it?

R U2 L' F2 L' D' U R B' R B2 D' R F2 L' F2 B' L F D U2 F2 L2 B' R'

I was off by 2 corners + 2 edges. The edges in a way don't count though because they were solved but because I use Old Pochmann corners the 2 edges got swapped.
