Well, not until that's my average

Won't be long bro!

I like it!:tu

Oh, Dennis, you'r back?

Yes

Thanks guys =]

If anyone could give me sound advice to getting faster at memo, please let me know =P

You mean memo for MULTI attempts i guess?
If so, i can just tell you this: Its really hard to get faster. When i am done with TuRBo, getting faster in memorization will be my next goal. For MULTI you just have to try memorizing faster. It will feel, like you will forget the images maybe and sometimes thats what happens, but after doing this over and over, your memo will learn not to forget the images, even if you didnt memorize them that good (creating really nice stories and so on).
And of course dont check too often. You have to find your own "rythm" of reviewing. This is the same like the first point. You will be surprised how good your brain/memory will work. You know what i mean?
But like i said. I have to get much faster, too. But right now, I am working on my TuRB-corner method, so i will do that later.
You have to find your own way/style for all that.

Greetings, Dennis

First success with non-optimal BH (3:48.34)!! I say non optimal because although some of my commutators were optimal, one of them was [(R U R' U')3 , D] I also had pretty long pauses during corners.

That's a big accomplishment! I didn't do that until like a week ago lol. One tip is to replace triple-sexy with R2' U R2 U' R2'.

 

[Cubenovice]

You can also perform [(R U R' U')3 , D] as (R U R' U')3 D (R U R' U')3 D' so without using the inverse of sexy move part
Still much longer than Noa's solution but flows better as using (U R U' R')3 in the second half

Two 4BLD successes in a row! 16:00 and 12:42 which is PB, usually i get successes once a fortnight so WOAH! i didn't think caffeine was that effective!

 

[drewsopchak]

I feel comfortable using rUF buffer now! Now my big cube solutions are exclusively comms with the exception of parity.

I've discovered that how good a solve is depends very much on what corner cycles I get =/

3x3x3 multiBLD: 6/8 = 4 points, 25:17.11 [17:05].

Yeah, I know it's only 6/8 (one cube off by 4 edges flipped because I flipped the wrong two, another off by 3 edges), but look at that time! And this is with Marcin's fully linearly scalable memorization approach!

Well, perhaps I should call it Marcin's "beginner's approach"; this is done the way he did 24 cubes - memorize 1, review 1, do 4 cubes that way, then review all 4, then do the next 4 the same way; when done with all groups of 4, gogogo. With 32 cubes, he switched to 2 at a time, then groups of 8. I guess I'm not ready for the advanced approach yet. But I was definitely doing the hand movements. And it really does help! 16 cubes sub-50 suddenly seems possible for me now!

I think I'm going to stick with 8 cubes until I get a sub-30 8/8, so it may still be a while before I start trying more cubes.

Scramble wasn't super-easy or anything - only one solved piece. Just reeeaaally smooth memo

Great solve and reaction! I always wait to take the blindfold off too - adds extra tension

Desperately wanting to try this as soon as I've bought a 6x6x6, what cube was that?

Congrats! I thought you were going to cry at the end in celebration

That's interesting, I review the same way (memo 1, review 1, then review 4) but have never heard of 'Marcin's approach'. Could you link me?

I base that entirely on watching his videos. I might not be interpreting it right, but it's what I think I saw. Upon looking at some other videos, it does seem like he's changed it more than that; I just know that the first one I really watched carefully worked this way (memo 1, review 1, then review 4).

Edit: Actually, it's strange - now I can't even find a video of his that shows that pattern - all of them look like they're review 2, then review 8. I wonder if I just saw it wrong, or if there's one of his videos where he really did it the way I saw it.

Because I never did it in this way.
Now: memorise 2, review 2, memorise 2, review 2... then review 8. After last full 8 I review all cubes. Then I memorise rest of them and solve them first.
Before: look at my 16/16 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJyPsra46Ao) <<< I don't recommend it. It was so strange and I don't understand why I did it in this way

My very old system: Memorise 2, review 2, memorise 2, review 4, memorise 2, review 6, memorise 2, review 8, review last 6, review last 4, review last 2... And never back to them.
