So, as mentioned in this thread, I think it's a good idea to make a standard notation system for Memorization and Execution order, so it's easier to discuss and figure out which system is best for which sized cube, which memo methods, and which solving methods. So I have designed NBME (Notation for Blindfold Memorization and Execution), to make things easier.
The information is here:
A: Corners
B: Central Edges (3x3 Edges)
C: X Centers (4x4 Centers)
D: + Centers
E: Inner Wings (4x4 Edges, 5x5 Wings)
F: Outer Wings
G: Outer X Centers
H: Outer + Centers
I: Left Obliques
J: Right Obliques
Uppercase letters stand for memorization, lowercase for execution.
A ' symbol after a letter indicates orientation, otherwise permutation (this is only used for methods such as 3OP). So, If I were using 3OP and I do this:
Memorize Corner Orientation
Memorize Edge Orientation
Memorize Corner Permutation
Memorize Edge Permutation
Solve Edge Orientation
Solve Edge Permutation
Solve Corner Orientation
Solve Corner Permutation
We would have your order be A'B'ABb'ba'a
If you used Old Pochmann and did this:
Memorize Corners
Memorize Edges
Solve Edges
Solve Corners
This is a ABba order.
You only need A and B for 3x3, the others are for bigger sized cubes.
For 3x3, I use BAba (trying to switch to ABba, which is symmetrical).
In my opinion, symmetrical orders are faster.
So do you think this notation is good?
