Blindsolving Failure Thread

MBLD attempt :5 cubes.

4/5 Total time : ~23mins memo took ~15mins.
Doesn't have the exact time and scramble as I rage close Google Chrome since the only cube dnf were the cube that I memo last and execute first, yet I forget the cycles for edges.

That's the worst. At Harvard I did that. It's a good thing I got another cube wrong, otherwise that cube would have been the only thing between me and NAR.
 
Practicing Speed Cards recently, today's session:

DNF(1:41.28)[2*2 switched cards]
DNF(1:40.47)[2 switched cards]
DNF(1:39.97)[2 switched cards]

Dammit!
Every attempt would have been PB by far. :(
 
Keep trying. You'll probably be sub-1 in no time...

Tried to solve a cube blindfolded behind my back while juggling two balls (Mike Hughey style): Didn't drop a ball, but was off by an edge 3-cycle and 2 twisted corners. I have no idea why. :/

First serious attempt at 3BLD using images for memo, got the corners no problem but from watching the video back I put the third or fourth edge in the wrong place and don't realise :( I didn't review the memo though so if I can get into a habit of doing that for edges I should have successes in no time :)

Congrats for that. Now you'll start to get better in many aspects of BLD.

Wow. I thought Mike Hughey is the only person who is able to do that!

2x2-5x5 relay blindfolded DNF off by 2 center pieces on the 4x4 (49:57.01)

OK I am getting quite frustrated now, I thought I had this one in the bag. No memory mistakes and no thoughts that I might of not undone a setup move after a cycle. Off by 2 center pieces have happened twice now.

omg so close brock you'll get it soon. im going to try 6BLD start of next month then try this then on to 7BLD then megaminx then the worse of them all square-1 O.o
 
Did 2~5BLD relay.

Last night attempt, off by twisted corner on 4x4, others are fine. 50mins total, 30mins memo.
Today attempt, off by 4wings and 6centers on 4x4, others are fine. 45mins total, 28mins memo.

I think my 4x4 hates me.
 
Failed my second multi-bld attempt by a corner twist.... second cube was completed (even though i messed up my edge memo and worked my way back 3 images) First cube was a failure but i was sure it was right. Oh well. Maybe next time :D
 
Another fail attempt of 2~5BLD relay.
50:56.54[32:24.27]
Only DNf was the 5x5, which I think I did an extra r2 during wings, and messes up a few wings while fixing midges parity. :fp

Of the amount of practice you do, i wonder why you haven't tried a 6BLD yet?

Also 5BLD 15 DNF streak, i dunrike 5BLD, only 3BLD and 4BLD to some extent
