Blindsolving Failure Thread

[Mike Hughey]

My second attempt at speedBLD: DNF (24.53, total time 52:59.56). Off by an N perm.

That makes me 0/2. I'm not very good at this, I'm afraid - I make too many mistakes tracing. At least it was close.

Edit: I figured out what I did wrong. Through sheer stupid carelessness, I miscalculated the AUF - I thought I needed a U2 at the end before the PLL, but I really needed a U. Then to make matters worse, I forgot to do the U2 (that was incorrect anyway) when I actually did the solve. :fp

Grrrr....4BLD. 17:54.xx off by 2 twisted corners...in ways I'm happy I didn't get it I guess, because my camera died half way through....

I did this for the Weekly Competition 35.
Cube 11 popped during the last Y-Perm, I put the edge back (but with the wrong orientation) and finished Y-Perm (but of course wrong).
But good result anyway, I did no memorisation mistakes.

2:55.32 dnf..... almost my sub 3 goad but only a twisted corner was left ( i think i twisted it the wrong way....

1 month since my last bld attempt. That is a big failure considering WC is only 6 weeks away :/

-3 edges.
-3 corners.
-4 edges.
-2 edges + 3 corners.
-2 edges + 2 corners.

Disappointing, but this was still some very good practice.

After watching the footage, I realised I wasted 1:50 trying to recall a single edge image. I ended up making an incorrect guess, thus being off by 4 edges.

First 4 blind attempt since nats... Ready for the time? Ready for it? This is SO pro! 1:29:27.15! Oh.. wait..
Memo for Centers: Around 3 mins
Memo for Edges: Around 1 hour 15 mins
Memo for Corners: Idk, really quick
Also, DNF. Center memo was slightly off, but everything else was good. Must have really messed up somewhere though cause there were just blobs of correct colors.
Reconstructionish:

u F2 r2 F2 U' u' B f' D R2 B2 u2 L2 R' D' f D2 B' L' r' F' B u' f2 F r B' u B L2 f2 L' U2 f2 L F B2 L u B2
Rotation: z
Memo:

Centers:
IO JE NL QU SP PX FM CT WH

Problems:
Missed Cycle: FK PF (Somehow.. That really doesnt make sense)
When memoing, I realized that I put a double P. That was all fine and stuff, so I left it. EXCEPT, I use U2 for centers so the C (replacement of buffer) was a U2 away.

Edges:
GI SX AQ LP HM EU VC FT JW OK RN Q
Ok... I did this around 15 times or so which is why the time is so so so long. The result is actually completely correct.

Corners:
CR XU BK C

Very Quick and correct.

Memo amount:48 letters

Wow. I can imagine Mike getting very excited about this

3:04.56 dnf by 2 twisted corners D:

I probably twisted the wrong way..................again.....

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

2:59.xy DNF. Lost the scramble, because instead of hitting DNF in PPT I hit the x and deleted the solve...

The solve was off by six flipped edges. All execution mistakes. I tried to incorporate Uperms into the solve and got this. Maybe I'll just stick with comms for now...

Wow, so fast. Amazing! And all of the bad ones were at least kind of close.

 

[Zane_C]

5x5 BLD DNF(7:32.51), memo was slightly over 3:30. Off by: 2 +centers and 3 wings.
I rushed execution like a mad man , I undid one wing comm.

Wow, so fast. Amazing! And all of the bad ones were at least kind of close.

Thanks! Yes, I'm glad there were no cubes completely scrambled.

I did my first 2 full 4BLD attempts today. Both were DNF.

The first one was DNF because I started with corners first (only solved 3), then realized that messed up my centers, but still kept going. I also had edge parity, and never learned how to solve it.

For the second on, I honestly thought I did everything correctly, but I looked at the footage, and my second cycle of the whole solve (centers first), I undid a set up move wrong (It involved shooting to the bottom centers, which I hate )

I might try another later. The times were both 21's. 15 minute memo, and my x-cube 4 sucks, so I have to go really really slow with it.

 

[aaronb]

Always two flipped edges. :fp

I had a 12:xx 3x3BLD attempt, and it would have been a PB by two minutes.

 

[lucarubik]

9/10 in 37 off by two fliped edges and 4BLD in 6:57 off by two centers
I found some interesting stuff in my head

 

[Pandadudex96]

first attempt to 2 multi bld and failed of course D:

12:42.18

0/2 cubes solved

1st cube off by 2 edges and 2 corners
2nd cube off by 2 edges and 2 corners -_-

 

[TheMachanga]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!

4BLD 15:02

I was 100% sure I memo'd everything correctly. When I took off the blindfolded, everything was unsolved besides the centers. It was a completely scrambled cube with the centers correct. -.-

I looked at the footage, and I found out why. I solve centers first, and my last center case was a switch between 2 oposite centers on U and D. My set-up move was U2 and D2, and I did that, but I forgot to undo it afterwards......

:fp

 

[TMOY]

my last center case was a switch between 2 oposite centers on U and D. My set-up move was U2 and D2

Why not just y2 ? Or better, execute your comm rotated by 180 degrees (which in this case consists only in switching l2 and r2 moves).

 

[cmhardw]

Failed 5x5x5 BLD average of 12. Both DNFs were very close. I will certainly try again at some point for another average of 12, but I'll probably wait until after worlds. Still 10/12 accuracy is about 83% which I can be happy with

13:30.66, 15:24.59, 12:15.59, 16:15.69, 12:29.75, 15:32.00, 15:11.22, 19:10.37, DNF (17:02.72), 18:37.75, DNF, 13:41.07 = DNF
