The DNF master

Only 88 DNFs. Someone had 123. I remember. Though they'd been to way more comps.

Edit: ^^^ definitely. He was the only person at the Beijing Comp who DNFed all those events.

Just 123? I have had more than that :eek:

Rubik's Cube: Multi blind old style: 7
Rubik's Cube: Multiple Blindfolded: 6
Master Magic: 8
Rubik's Magic: 11
Rubik's Clock: 19 (I think 3 or 4 of these should have been DNS)
Square-1: 1
Pyraminx: 7 (I think 5 of these should have been DNS)
Megaminx: 1
Rubik's Cube: Fewest moves: 17
Rubik's Cube: Blindfolded: 66
5x5 Cube: 1
4x4 Cube: 2
Rubik's Cube: 3

Total = 149
 
Wow Arnaud, you win. However, I do have more 3x3BLD DNFs than you do (72 DNFs out of 133 attempts). I have a nice DNF streak going for 4x4BLD as well.
 
Questions to discuss after the reading:

1. Does having more DNFs really equate to 'winning' in any way? Explain.
2. Why is BLD so hard? Give examples of things in your life that were similarly difficult, and explain how you overcame them.
3. Should someone who gets all DNFs in 3x3 speedsolve keep going to competitions? Why or why not?

P.S. I have 28 DNFs in speed events and only 21 in BLD. I'd have more in BLD if I kept doing it but I don't like wasting competition time.

Overall i have 168 DNFs in 25 competitions.

Here you can see that i'm the second in DNF/attempt and the only guy who beats me the one who cheated and got all the results deleted.

I'm good. :)

Goes to show why people should not enter competitions unless they are totally prepared. But he's very good at the Rubik's magic and the master magic though.

It costs real money to go to competitions and to justify the cost, you need completed solves to your name, not lots of DNF's.
