    [Help Thread] Big Blind Discussion

    https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~krmatthe/BLD-Memo-Tools.cgi You can plug in the scramble and your memo to this site (after configuring your letter scheme, etc.) and see what the cube would look like. This helps determine what went wrong and whether it was a memo mistake (if the result matches your...

    [Help Thread] Blindsolving

    These sites can generate letter pairs for scrambles: https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~krmatthe/BLD-Memo-Tools.cgi and https://scrambld.cubing.net/

    Weekly Competition 2022-31

    I think this might be the first week in nearly 2 years that I didn't compete in multi, oops :(

    Does action/object work?

    As Mike said, the inefficiency is more in memorization than in execution. But if you do 3-style, then you would likely just go from toast to the corresponding alg without 'decoding' it into 2 letters - but that's not so applicable for OP or if you're not trying to be fast. I would highly...

    Does action/object work?

    That definitely works, but it's inefficient. It's basically one thing per letter, instead of per letter pair, and takes longer to mentally 'say' in your head. If you do lots of practice at once, or do multi, then you'll start getting the same actions and people coming up a lot, which can cause...

    Unified BLD Algorithms Database

    Yes, you can ignore the "!"s. I just use them to indicate that the inverse should be in the same direction. So (U2!)' is U2 not U2', and the above becomes R U2 R D R' U2 R D' R2' as opposed to R U2 R D R' U2' R D' R2'. Glad to hear about the script, and that you plan on allowing customized letters.

    Unified BLD Algorithms Database

    Nice! Question: If I update an alg in my sheet, will this database reflect that update? Recommendation: Add in some user settings so that people can specify their letter scheme and see that instead of UFR-notation and Speffz.

    Memory Methods

    I often had trouble recalling people in PAO, and I've had other cubers tell me the same. I think it can work well, but it's difficult. Imagining how the person would react to what they're doing is much more helpful than just picturing them doing it. (The following is more geared towards multi...

    Sums and ranks/means for the weeklies year 2015 through 2020

    I think there's an error with MBld sorting.

    Should events be dropped for the 2021 Weekly Competition?

    I would consider changing the relays to 2-7, 2-4, and 5-7. Maybe the events could be grouped (like, NxNs, Bld, etc.), possibly with a toggle on each group to hide an entire group at once. Although I don't know exactly what the groupings would be.

    How to Memo Letter Pairs

    As others have said, if a pair is 'easy' then you probably should usually just use the first thing that comes to mind during a solve (unless the first thing that comes to mind is hard to visualize/remember or clashes with another pair) and eventually it will be automatic and you can add it to...

    The Layer by Layer Podcast

    @ColorfulPockets I was definitely not asking you to shame Kit lol. It's just that you guys were discussing that you used to keep track of everything in your head and said it wasn't working as well anymore. I also used to keep track of everything in my head too, and it worked fine. These methods...

    Blindsolving Accomplishment Thread

    From the Weekly Competition. After 11 consecutive DNFs, I got 8 successes out of the next 9 attempts. Scramble & Reconstruction 3:20.25 = 1:51.37 + 1:28.88 Former PB was 3:53. PB exec by quite a lot. It just went really smoothly, and I picked a good orientation pretty quickly. And exec is...
