In Anki (flashcard memory program)

Thanks for the name. I've lately looked for alternatives for jMemorize, but my google skills obviously weren't good enough to find Anki...

Eventually a new 4x4x4 Bld PB: 7:54.48 (3:47.40)
This outperformed my old record by 52 seconds.

While I was sitting in the train (Work), I thought I start practicing my LPL, so I started memorizing the centers, I was so fast (~1:30) that I quickly memorized edges and corners with the old technique and then solved it with speed. I don´t have the scramble, because it was hand-scrambled (It was non lucky, 8 centers solve, none edges or corners).

The funny thing about the solve was, that I didn´t closed my eyes, I just looked around to the landscape, to an old couple, who got into the train, ... I think I get better times with that.
Also last time when I solve a 4x4x4 in a train I was sub 8, but DNF because of 2 swiched center pieces.

With 3OP and M2. Memorization in 35-40 seconds. The corners were very easy.

It's not very good. But after my massive multi break, this is an improvement.
I hope to manage my time and aim for a decent attempt nearly every night and catch up to my old speed.

Old PB was 1:54, and I had a 1:38 DNF once.
This is wow.

Scramble: F2 B2 D2 L F2 D2 F2 L F2 L D' U2 F B R D' B2 L' U R2 B U' F B2 R'
Scramble with your U-colour on D, and your F-colour on L.

53.08 success. Stupid stupid stupid. 2nd sub1 success off 2nd hand scramble. Considering that fact + how easy it was I can't consider it PB. *Sigh*

 

[ilikecubing]

Julian : congratz,keep goin

One corner comm, rest M2/OP.

Not that it's a BIG accomplishment, but I just got my first successful edges bld. I don't think my memo is very good, I need to read and learn about what others do.. But I'm pretty happy that I've done the edges bld!

It's looking not so overwhelming and that this may be something I can do. =D

Nice. Don't beat me next comp okay.

Ok so I just switched my sentences memo from multiple sentences (4 letters per sentence) to one long sentence. Thanks to aronpm.

I decided to time my memo for edges splitting the two memory methods. One sentence was faster by a few seconds.

--> Leads me to do a BLD solve with it, at 1:16 in the morning, and tired.

57.94. 1 edge solved and 1 corner twisted. Did 1 corner comm in it. Hand scramble but NL. New PB. Ah finally sub1 feels so good.

 

[RyanReese09]

56.93. Did 1 corner comm, 1 corner solved and 2 twisted corners to start out with.

This was done multi sentences. I'm not sure which memo method to stick with to be honest. I tried one long sentence but it still in essence comes out to be multi sentences but condensed and with no pausing in the memo, which in turns leads to recall delays.

I think multi sentences has the lead now in my favoring book. One sentence seems to be more efficient, from comparing memos to aronpm in IRC. Which should I stick to??

Aww man, I left right before this didn't I? Anyway, congrats! It feels so nice doesn't it?
