Blindsolving Failure Thread

Australian Nationals:
5bld: dnf 13:xx, dnf 12:5x (this was closest, about 5-10 pieces), dnf 12:xx (gave up after centers)
4bld: dnf 6:3x (two wings), dnf 6:xx, dnf 7:xx
3bld1: dnf, 1:30, dnf
3bld2: dnf dnf dnf
multi: 1/10

HO 2010:

Yeah, Marcell Endrey got the same result of the same scramble, although his time was sub-9.

I also faliled on bigblind, one forgetabout DNF on 4x4, one 10:04 with 2 swapped centers:S:S
On 5x5, one off by 4 flipped edges (I forgot to orient two, and mismemoed one), and the other was I think off by an unsolved last wing which means an r2, but I solved the midges and the corners after that so it was off by some centers too, but they told me that the centers were solved once.

Corners BLD (freestyle):

number of times: 22/30
best time: 18.87
worst time: 38.50

current avg5: DNF (σ = 23.59)
best avg5: 22.64 (σ = 0.88)

current avg12: DNF (σ = 28.23)
best avg12: DNF (σ = 28.23)

session avg: DNF (σ = 24.87)
session mean: 27.85

Bout 73% success rate..I want something like 90% because I suck at edges Getting faster though

 

[XXGeneration]

off by 2 flipped edges on my first blind attempt

 

[Sakarie]

off by 2 flipped edges on my first blind attempt

That's probably better than most people have their first try, so just keep doing some more's and you'll definitely make it!

 

[XXGeneration]

Ugh, on my second try, I messed up the last 3-cycle...

 

[Kynit]

8 minute memo, was confident I'd finally get my first success... paused in the middle of my 3rd alg and lost my spot, looked at the cube and the first 3 corners weren't solved. How do I forget Y-perms, anyway?

MultiBLD: 6/7 = 5 in 20:17.11

Memo was 11:03. The second cube was off by a 3-cycle of corners. I don't know what happened.

You manage to transfer your bigcubebld speed to multibld...nice. I like memoing slow in multibld so that everything is safe. How many are you going for at nats? WR attempt definitely

lol doesn't work that way

Well obviously it doesn't work linearly, but I think 7 in 20 mins is a good start towards 17 in 60 mins, especially if he keeps improving like he has. Any idea how fast you could do 7?

Just reread this, and just bumping to say he had 1/10
If only he went safe and;
1. Took the full hour.
2. Tried less cubes

Me at Ausnats.
3bld: DNF DNF DNF
One I missed one edge target, but if I had that I think it would've been two twisted corners anyway. The other must've had execution mistake(s) because I was sure on the memo and had gone over the memo many times, so I was definitely shooting to the right targets.
Then 2nd I just DNF'd because of hard memo (I didn't execute).

[15:46:18] < aronpm> dnf 3:43 wtf
[15:46:20] < aronpm> 1:40 memo
[15:46:43] < aronpm> 2 corners 2 centers 9 wings
[15:46:48] < Tim_Major> WAAAAAAAAAAAAT
[15:47:03] < Tim_Major> HOLY ****
[15:47:07] < aronpm> second weekly comp scramble

 

[KJiptner]

sick stuff! Our PBs are almost the same, maybe I can get such times too?

Oh, woops, I forgot to update my sig. My PB's actually 4:41.

You've done sub10 5/5, I'm sure you could do a really fast 4bld

 

[tx789]

I tried 2x2 blind but it was hard. To plan it is hard onne layer can be easy to hard. No wonder you who can solve one blindfolded fail a lot.

WAT.

 

[Isbit]

Had a possible 3x3 BLD PB on the way, but the cube popped

 

[Sakarie]

Just dnf'ed 3x3 with 55.78. I did MV CT instead of CT MV, so a three-cycle of edges wrong. That sucked.

 

[kinch2002]

@aronpm: I might just be blind (forgive the pun), but I can't see any proper info on your multi attempt 1/10. What was the time and where did it all go wrong?!

 

[TMOY]

5^3 BLD in 21:22, DNF by a 3-cycle of wings

 

[aronpm]

@aronpm: I might just be blind (forgive the pun), but I can't see any proper info on your multi attempt 1/10. What was the time and where did it all go wrong?!

The time was about 43:xx IIRC.

There were so many cubies twisted-in-place. I think there were at least 14. I don't really have a system to memorize that many twisted pieces, so I tried to memorize it with letters. I spent so long doing this that I forgot most of the cubes

On some cubes I applied the wrong solution, applied two solutions, forgot to apply a solution, or picked them up in the wrong orientation.

It was very embarrassing and I felt like I wasted everybody's time (sorry TimMc and Dene)

 

[Faz]

Nah, we had an hour set aside anyway. It didn't matter at all.

 

[LarsN]

7x7x7BLD: DNF 1:45:xx(58:xx)

Third attempt. Looked like I forgot to undo an U' setup move early in the solve. The good thing was that my memo felt pretty strong. Full visual.
