Or if you were in Switzerland (or Europe in general) like I was this weekend, you get 2 negative solves in one year!!!

Even though daylight savings isn't till april here, I did it with some people in Skype chat, and got 10.02.

EDIT: -59:49.98

2/3 on 4x4x4 Multiple Blindfold in a time of -8 minutes 35.95 seconds. I know exactly the error I made on the mistake cube, and when I made it. I wasn't sure if I did a single or a double turn on a slice so I guessed, and I guessed incorrectly I'm sure I could go quite a bit faster than this for both memo and solving if I practiced a lot, but I was shooting for 100% success.

Man, a failure in multi BLD feels ten times worse than a failure in single BLD. I don't know how you multi guys deal with this feeling I think multi is not really for me, though this was fun. Better luck for me next year I guess.

9 / 10 on 3x3x3 multiBLD in a time of - 38.43 seconds. I mismemorized the eighth cube - I had parity left. (I forgot to repeat a piece when breaking a cycle.) My memorization wasn't working well at all, so I took a pitiful -21:27 to memorize. Luckily, I managed to finish solving in 20:44 (after a couple of bad memory pauses), so I still made a negative overall time.

Aww, Chris, it's all in how you look at it. As you've pointed out before, a failure is just a chance to learn from your mistakes - when you miss you improve. But I must admit that a miss on the negative time solving contest feels worse than normal, since you have to wait another year before you get another chance. So now I have to wait yet another year to get that fully successful negative time multiple cube solve I wanted.

You didn't notice that some lines don't have puzzles on them?

I edited the list to remove some long puzzles, new list at http://pastebin.ca/1651300.
