Pochmann Memory Methods

I use Pochmann corners, M2 edges. I started with roman rooms subject-object pairs, but I've switched mostly to journey for single solves and I'm gradually going to mostly visual.

I do Pochmann edges, M2 corners.

Try doing Pochmann on the cube sitting on the bathroom.
You will not smell the poo! And it worked for me.
Try if you are a noob. :)

i hope you are going to edit that.

Why?
bad language?
 
Yes I deleted it. Shouldn't have intervened in the first place, Escher had pointed it out and was handling it beautifully already. My "Sigh" wasn't even funny, should've at least said something like "Now that's creative.". Plus I think happa is right, it must have been a joke (not a particularly good one, though).

Whoa, news conference please. Call CNN.

You know, I really should. You are like my HERO lol. :D;)

anyway what a thread killer xP

I'm trying to do Person Object Action style memo for old Pochmann....never had a successful attempt yet, just trying to get edges down. I like PAO because it only really gives you four "snapshots" to memo for edges

I use LPAO by Federico Soldati and work fine for me. and just 3 stories for edges. Well i use 2 stories and visual memo for last 2, 3 or 4 edges (depends).
 
wow, am i the only one using letters? Is POA that awesomesauce?

For corners, I assign a letter to each one, letters like b,c,d,f,g etc.
Then, for stickers on the right or left face, the letter o, for stickers on the front or back face e, for stickers on the top or bottom face a. So your corner memorisation originally coud look like this:

Bo Ce Fo Go Ca Bo De P
(p for parity)

However, I don't memorise it that way. I make words with the first two letters and start a story. So it'd be something like

BOeing of the CEo crashed on his FOes while GOing to CAlcium land etc etc.

Something like that for edges, except with four more letters and only o and a.
 
I use visual for everything. That probably wasn't very helpful, but I wanted to take the rare opportunity to answer my own question a year and a half after I asked it.
