Blindsolving Failure Thread

I literally spend so much time thinking about how I'm going to handle twisted corners. They are such SUCH a weak part of my solve, it's ridiculous. I memo so much longer because of them, and delay in execution thinking about what to do. Ugh. Need a system...

I should be on IRC a fair amount in the next few days. Keep me in the loop for algs/ideas. Twisted corners are not a strong point for me either.

2:05 off by 4 flipped edges (did the wrong final 2-2 edge swap) in bed last night after a lot of 'baking'.
Heh, I've been doing an excessive amount of 'baking' this week.

I now have a somewhat decent way to handle twisted corners. It's all right. I'll be on IRC after 9P.M. eastern to discuss more ideas.

My current way...I'm unsure of what memo method to use to memorize it...
 
16/17 55:26 [33:43] 2 twisted corners. Wasn't really sure which thread to post this in. Happy with the time, especially memo which was faster than my 16 cube attempt last week. Again, I wrote out a schedule for memo, and this time ended up beating it by over 3 minutes so that's good. Scrambles were all from WeeklyComp39. 5 from 3x3, 3 from 3bld, and 9 from multi (scrambles 17-25 because I did 1-16 for my last attempt). The unsolved cube was scramble 20 from the multi scrambles (20. D' R D B' D2 F2 D R' F2 U L' U2 F L D' L' D U'). You can probably see why one might end up with twisted corners! It was a memo mistake I think.
 
How to fail:
1. 37.66 U2 D2 B L' U R' F D2 L' F' D B U2 F2 L' U' F' L2 F D2 F L U B' R
2. 44.36 D2 L' D2 L B F' R2 L U2 B2 F' R F' R2 L D' L R2 U B2 U2 R L D' F2
3. 42.00 B2 L2 R' B L2 F' B D' R' L' U' L2 F D L' R2 B2 L' R' D2 L D' B' U D'
4. DNF(45.08) U2 D R2 F2 U' D2 F' L R2 F B2 U L D2 B' U R B U' L' U2 R2 F D' L'
5. DNF(50.38) L' B2 D' U F L2 D2 U' R' B L2 R D' L' F2 L D R2 D U L B D' B U2

Very easy scrambles, memo times were 9-10-9-11-9.
On the 4th solve I executed DQ instead of BQ, on the last solve I forgot the last 2 letters.
 
Multi for the wekkly competition 14/18 in 1:00:00 or 15/18 in 1:01:57

The Failures: I forgot to solve the edges on cube 13.

I also recorded this Multi, but probably won´t record it, because of the result.
 
5bld:

some mistake during midges, memo was ~4:20
and

off by a J' perm :( memo was low 5m
