It depends on what "succeed" refers to. Does it refer to "fail" or what you're trying to fail at?
If the former, you've successfully failed.
If the latter, you've failed through your success.
Since you used the word "and" I'd lean towards the former case. If you had used "but" I'd lean towards the latter. Both wordings would be open to interpretation, though.

I think your question is misleading. Do you mean you tried to fail and succeeded in failing? Thats a success. If you tried to fail and failed to fail by succeeding, then you failed. Is that what you mean?

If success is an option then certainly failure is always an option as well, so, you've simply achieved your goal to fail. You've failed and, thereby, you've succeeded. Cheers!

WOW Great question! So You've succeeded in failing, but you've failed... I'd say that you have succeeded. Yes. You've definately succeded.

I have been a tremendous success at failure.
I have been a tremendous failure at success.
They both say the same thing, don't they?
Depends on YOUR outlook.

You have succeeded because your desire was to fail, so you have succeeded at fulfilling your desire to fail.
