Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Shortey]

He said what he meant was 5x5 X-centres BLD

<Toad`> Spef: I saw that post, but that's what makes it funnier
<Toad`> how he conveniently forgot to put the fact he wasn't actually doing 5bld

OF COURSE BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY 20 YOU SCARED OR SOMETHING

I wasn't sure whether I should get Cubetwists or MF8s, so I decided I'd better buy a small number to try them out before I commit to more.

(For those who really question my sanity, I really am kidding - but only on the idea about getting 20. 10 is reasonable; 20 is just crazy.)

 

[Micael]

Aww, so close!

My first try at square-1 multiBLD: 9/10, 1:47:17.06 (memorization time about 1:10:00)

The one miss was off by 4 edges.

LOL, I would have post it in the blindfold accomplishment thread! :tu

10 is a small number?

COMMIT TO MORE?!

36.53, and I was sure I got it. DNF by 3 edges

U R' B2 F' D2 B D2 R B2 F L2 D' U2 B2 U' B2 R U R' D U2 L2 R2 U2 B2

I rechecked my memo, and it was right, must have been an execution error

@Faz Nice scramble! ;p

I only got 49.96, 12 second memo.

I did like, x' U' L2 U U' L2 U U' L2 U U' L2 U U L2 U' M2 U L2 U' x for shooting to BL... that probably wasted like 5 seconds.

Wow, that was nice. I thought I was going to get my first sub-1, but not quite: 1:02.90.

Is this your PB? If not, wat is it?

I think I might have had a sub-1 on a clearly lucky scramble posted on the Forum here, but other than that one, this is definitely my best. A 1:03.xx was previously it.

I'm still not sure I would want to count it as a PB, though, since I knew it was an easy scramble before I tried it. Anyway, it doesn't matter much, since my focus is to get a real sub-1 someday (hopefully soon!).

40.89. If faz get's WR I'll quit BLD and only do feetcubing.

 

[Stefan]

Feliks, how much do you practice blindsolving?

 

[Mike Hughey]

40.89. If faz get's WR I'll quit BLD and only do feetcubing.

What will you do when he starts feetsolving?

Surely it's only a matter of time...

Feliks, how much do you practice blindsolving?

Yes, I'm quite curious about this. It would be great to know how much practicing you've done along the way, from when you've started until now.

 

[ben1996123]

1:53.59 clock BLD DNF by 1 centre on 10

Actually i don't want to know it. It'll just depress me...

 

[Faz]

I did ~ 20 attempts yesterday. I rarely do any more than that. I might keep a log starting from today.

 

[KJiptner]

I don't do feetcubing. So I wouldn't mind
It was part of the joke.

 

[Micael]

Finally got some motivation for bld cubing today. Out of shape deserve me a post here, but still fun to do:
multi 8/14 in 56:17 (37:00)

Regarding Faz training, I am pretty sure if most people here were doing 20 solves per day for one week, it would produce tremendous result. (I have a somewhat feeling that my english is not perfect here...sorry)

I did 100 solves in about 3 days a few weeks ago. Didn't make much difference apart from my memo dropping about a second.
