I havn't been cubing much lately. Still interested, just caught up in the holiday madness, work and getting ready to go back to uni.
As a thought experiment I've been playing around with multiBLD memory systems. Thinking of ways I can improve my current method of using letter pair images across 3 loci for each cube. What I'd really like to find is some way I can reduce the amount of images and places to memorize while still having plenty of information. Memo less but solve more cubes. The best I've come up with is a system with 3-4 letters per image. Using a prefix, then a noun instead of just 2 seperate things. For the prefix I would use attributes that add a little more character to a pre-existing image. Things like colors, actions, conditions, feelings. It's essentially adjectives. Haha I'm confused too. We'll try an example =p
Edges: CT JS EV QF MG HX - With my current system I would memorize this as [Cat, Jesus, Eevee, *NSFW*, Mug, Helix] = 6 Images
Corners: GK NK OF - [Gecko, Nike, Offal] = 3 Images. Total of 9.
With the new system I've yet to try out
Edges: CT JS EV QF MG HX -> [Cute Jesus, Eevee *CENSORED*, Magenta Helix] = 3 images.
Corners: GK NK OF -> [Greek Nike, Offal] = 2 Images. Total of 5.
Which is close to half the images to memorize opposed to using letter pair images on their own, if that makes any sense. Plus they become more vivid which should make them harder to forget. The only major problem is if I can be bothered writing the complete thing out and learning it, then getting it up to speed. Also, explaining MultiBLD systems is difficult.
Has anyone else tried to come up with a super efficient memory method that doesn't require too much brainpower?
. Keep us updated with how it goes.
