[Help Thread] Algorithm Memorization Discussion

[Ltsurge]

err
4 look ll first don't rush to do 1 look straight away

btw
if you have already started learning olls and plls DON'T SWITCH TO ROUX

One at a time.

(No, really. It's exactly what it sounds like.)

 

[Tao Yu]

I learned my oll and plls by seeing how they broke the first 2 layers and then rebuilt them again in a different way. cubefreak.net is helpful to me because clicking an alg links you to an applet.
Oh and the fact that some cases were particulary nasty(because i sucked at 4LLL) with 4LLL I began to learn them.(G perms, awkward olls)

 

[CubingSpree]

Just take your time, dont rush it. If you look at it as a long-term thing, there's no problem learning them all.

ok guy...im wont rush it and im gonna take my time for it...I will learn it

I'm new to Fridrich too. I have only about 10 of the 78 total algoritms.

You are on your way, but as everyone else said, take it at your own pace. I personally learned two- 3 algs a day for about 3 weeks and i am ambidextrous so I could just mirror the ones that were easier. But most people learn around 1-2 a day and practice them a lot.

Memorizing algorithms?

i am currently learning 2 look OLL and then after i memorize all those algs. i am gonna do 2 look PLL. now badmephisto's videos said dont learn more than one or two per day. i just memorized the headlights alg. and want to know if i try to learn maybe 3 or 4 in one night am i gonna forget it, cause im pretty good at memorizing things as long as a do them a couple times a day. like pi for instense

 

[waffle=ijm]

memo algs into muscle memory not just reading it.

 

[emolover]

And?

If you do learn algorithms then you really should learn them only 1 or 2 at a time. I rarely learn algorithms but I noticed about a week ago that I had only ten OLLs left to learn. I learned them all that day and the algorithms stuck to me fine, the problem was that I can't remember what algs go to what case. Only about a day ago did I get use to what algs go with what case.

So the moral of the story is to learn algorithms slowly so you can get your barings with them.

BTW: Don't type like a damn troll. Even if you don't have proper grammar(I don't), you can still make it look ok if you correctly capitalize and punctuate.

You don't want to just *memorize* algs, you want to *learn* them. Instead of memorizing the notation of the algs, do the algs over and over until they're in your muscle memory so you can't easily forget them.

You don't have proper grammar.

You can learn however many algs you want to learn. Some people have a knack for learning algs. Some don't.

You don't have proper grammar.

Thank you for restating what I already stated.

Where in your post did you state that you didn't have proper grammar?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

That never happened!

I think he proved his own point. It should be "proper grammar, like me, "

 

[RyanReese09]

HERP. That was my point <__________<. You editing your post after I respond to it, to contradict my argument, is very stupid. I have you quoted saying you have proper grammar.

He missed grammar in several spots.

 

[SkaterFly]

My rule is: I if I think I learned an algorithm, I have to use it in a solve a few times (without slow recognition) before I can say I've really learned it. If you can't recognize the case and apply algorithms fast, there's no point in knowing them

 

[kprox1994]

I suck at learning algs. When I do try to learn one though, sometimes I will make up a song

You don't want to just *memorize* algs, you want to *learn* them. Instead of memorizing the notation of the algs, do the algs over and over until they're in your muscle memory so you can't easily forget them.

I prefer to remember the algorithms with the notation as well, I don't want to forget them in case I'm busy and I can't practice very often.
