Blindsolving Failure Thread

DNF DNF DNF = DNF

Third one was 50.93 where I memorized GoB but executed GoD. Good news is that I have Princeton in two weeks and Harvard two weeks after that, and hopefully by then that won't be a good time anymore =P
 
Eindhoven open MultiBLD: 1/4 in 30:xx

In no particular order
- solved
- off by two flipped edges (during review i noticed I memo'd the 1st edge cycle wrong but decided to keep memo and just shoot to the 'wrong' sticker, I should have incorporated the flipped edge into my story instead of relying on visual)
- off by D2 + corner cycle ( due to the D2 I guess)
- scrambled (I felt something going wrong on the very first target but wasn't sure how to undo...)

Can't wait to see that.

Just started to practice multi for Harvard: 4/8 in 36min. Outch! I hope two weeks is enough to get back into decent solves...
 
Practicing some stuff in my college cafeteria, decide to do a random BLD solve (keep in mind it's my first in months). Get through memo, pretty fast for me, probably around 55ish seconds. Pull the blindfold down, and start solving. I hear myself gathering a crowd, people muttering stuff. I get nervous. Hands start shaking, losing memo quick. Pushing through it, feeling a bit more confident, stop the timer. Pull blindfold off, look at timer first, it's 1:56.xx. Look at cube, two flipped edges. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 
Waterloo Open:

DNF on both 4x4 BLD, first one I forgot to execute a corner so it was off by 4 edge pieces and 2 corners, second one I did a commutator backwards so it was off by 3 centers :(
Finally got a success in BLD on my third 3x3 BLD, around 4:48, despite not having practiced 3x3 BLD for a year.
