Blindsolving Failure Thread

First attempt in multi race: 13/15 (39:58.27)[25:xx]

-2 flipped edges.
-Quite a bit. An edge popped out during the corners of the last cube and I lost where I was in the algorithm. I put the edge back in place and finished the execution, I have a good feeling this is responsible for the DNF.

free-3 cycles?
 
Belongs more in a 'FML Blindfold edition' thread than failures, but 2:01.55, with 35 memo. It's night, and I'm at the country, it's too cold to cube. If I was warm that time would be 1:20-1:30, because I had no recall delays or execution stuff ups, I'm just too cold.
Edge memo, bit NSFW:
VIcious OCarina QueeFing on the SaSsy BuM.
Corner is audio that I've forgotten now.
Urgh.
 
Lol. 9/16 in 38:24.19

I uh, kinda forgot what my "routes" were for cubes 11-15. Got confused between them. And on one cube I solved the wrong first pair and (tried miserably) to fix it using pickup cycles or whatever they are called.

The only one of the 7 cubes that looks remotely close to solved, looks like a common error I make sometimes when doing adjacent 2flip (setup: R2 U2 R' U2 R2)
 
first try on 5x5 BLD, I made all the x centers (i know it couse i filmed myself) but + centers conmutators were harder than i thought, i made them like edges commutators but...:S anyway memo was 30, really easy
 
Still failing to get an average of 12.

58.49, 57.33, 54.08, 54.61, 52.28, 50.84, 53.05, 51.73, DNF(55.47)[two corners], DNF(1:58.92)[Fixed memo errors, still DNF'd for some reason] = 54.05 mean of 8/10

The last attempt was extremely off-putting, I memorised wrong - so I ended up with odd edges and even corners. :(

All well: (54.61), 52.28, (50.84), 53.05, 51.73 = 52.35 = pb.

EDIT: Not at all disappointed with this, but still a fail: 5BLD DNF(10:00.24)[3:45]
Execution was slowed down by some mistakes, off by a d' lol.

ARHG, Annoyed. 3BLD in 4:20.24 FAILED, 2 flipped edges including the buffer.
Excellent scramble too. Not exactly lucky, but very nice.

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

10 edge targets, 6 corner targets. 1 twisted corner, one flipped edge, that I obviously missed. (Pure Old Pochmann. Yeah, I know)
ANNOYED as this would have smashed my PB, set only a week ago, by 1 minute and 15 seconds. Wow.

Using a new Lunhui that I've been playing with. Loosened it way up. Very very fast, never pops, but I overshot a couple of times.
Memo was a five-word sentence (backed up with loose visualisation) for edges and audio-loop corners.
Am breaking my times down with ctimer into
first 6-edge memo
2nd 6-edge memo
corner memo
Solve.

Smashed my usual times for all these, if you're interested:
27.01 + 39.50 + 54.32 + 2:19.41 = 4:20.24

Stoked at these numbers. Then again, I've basically put speedsolving on hold for BLD. The only time I solve a 3x3 now is if I'm repairing a failed BLD ready for the next scrample :-P~. Even at work, when I "fiddle" with a cube, I basically do corners-only BLD practice (as corner memo is my big weakness ATM).

Will stick at it. Man BLD is fun.
