Right now, you could be learning algorithms

[Zarxrax]

You probably wish you knew more algs.
Currently, you are probably putting off learning more algs, and plan to do it later.
Maybe you have been putting it off for months.
Maybe you have been putting it off for years.

I have been cubing for over 2 years, and I currently know...
PLL.

Did you know
If you learned just ONE algorithm each WEEK, you could know
PLL in about 5 months.
OLL in about 1 year.
CLL in about 9 months.

If you learned just ONE algorithm each DAY, you could know
PLL in about 3 weeks.
OLL in about 2 months.
CLL in a little over 1 month.
2GLL in about 3 months.
EG in about 4 months.
ZBLL in less than 1.5 years.
^^^ALL OF THOSE IN ABOUT 2 YEARS

 

[Krible]

You are so right! I have delayed my g-perms for like a month. I will learn them now

 

[Cyrus C.]

*Goes to memorize 2GLL*

 

[Olji]

whoa, found this right when i picked up learning OLL....
really gives some motivation accually

 

[Godmil]

I burned out on SOAP, thought it would be easy so learned the first 16 in 3 days, but now they're all mixed up in my mind. Really need to get back to them and pace myself.

 

[amostay2004]

Sure, after all, nobody forgets algs right?

Haha I did the same, but I only got through about 8-10 of them.
Decided to go back and learn OLL first though. I've learned about 18 of OLL so far now.

Not realistic at all.

actually it would be exactly 3 weeks, not "about".

 

[irontwig]

Maybe I'll continue learning 10htm LL thanks to this thread.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

What would be the "statistic"(lack of a good term) if I/you/we would learn one algorithm an HOUR?

 

[Ranzha]

PLL - 21 hours.
OLL - 2 days, 9 hours.
CLL - 1 day, 18 hours.
Et cetera and so forth.

when you're cubing everyday, no... I learned full CFOP (except for 3 algs, but I'm lazy ) and for more than month, I didn't have to review any alg... and I guess when you know ZBLL and you do a lot of solves everyday, so at least half of them appear, you won't forget them

 

[frogmanson]

Back when I was learning ZBLL, I used to memorize 12 algs a day. I didn't forget any. ( I eventually gave up though. >.<)

 

[Zarxrax]

LOL

If you learn just TWELVE algs each DAY, you could know
PLL in 2 days
OLL in 5 days
CLL in 4 days
2GLL in 7 days
EG in 10 days
ZBLL in about 40 days

How long would it take to learn 1 look last layer if you learned one alg per week?

 

[Zarxrax]

How long would it take to learn 1 look last layer if you learned one alg per week?

About 20 years
If you started back when the cube first came out, YOU WOULD BE THERE BY NOW

 

[ben1996123]

I dont care.

I started CLL in december 2009 and still only know half

Have been cubing for ~8 years (I dont even know what year I started, it was about 2002 - 2003ish) and still dont know full OLL.

 

[Sa967St]

That's assuming you don't forget them or switch algs. Unrealistic for the most part.

If you forget an alg, does it really take the same amount of effort to relearn it as it did to learn it initially?
When I forget an alg, all it takes to refresh my memory is to just look at the alg and execute it once or twice. I think its unrealistic to assume that casually forgetting algs would greatly impact the pace at which you can learn new ones.
