Average solve. Please help me with some tips!


I know about the very long pause, I thought I forgot a letter. Memo was slightly slower than usual.

That memo was SLOW? 40 seconds is great. My PB (1:36) had a ~45-50 second memo iirc. I think you just need to work on TPS which comes with practice. There's really no need to switch method for a loonnng time. This video is so BAUS that I'll let you have a pair of earplugs at tree town. So you should work on execution. And dat memoing out loud is so funny. If I had a memo that fast, I'd get sub-1:30 :P. It's always better to have a good memo like you, but an execution that can improve, because you are always practicing TPS, even with other events!

Ok. Thanks. That'll be nice. Lol I always memo out loud. Helps me think better I guess. My memo for edges was GANdalF's Orange Juice ViDeo was eXtreme. VieW TaB LUL!
Yeah my tps is bad, though I can do a sub-2 y perm maybe sub-1.5.
 
Not bad, you've got the right idea for 3BLD memo now as well (as far as sentences go) - just practice with it and you'll find your own ways to save time and improve your recall. Really picture the images - you could, for example, imagine turning on a TV to see a teleshopping thing where Gandalf is selling OJ. He could be wearing surf shorts or going "blaaahhhhhhhh" into the camera or whatever it is you crazy surfer kids do.

You could try the cut-off game - always stop memo at 30s for example. At first you may not be able to memorize everything - just stick with what's doable at first (i.e. it could be 7 edges and corners) and work your way up to a full cube.

Oh, and in competition you won't be able to speak out loud as you do here on the off chance that someone has the same memo system as you. In theory you could communicate the memo to someone else before they've started, allowing them to cheat.

Ok. Thats a good idea. I'll try that "cut-off game".

I can't? Darn. I'll practice that.
 
At the beginning of the solve, you were worried about a DNF. That's too much pressure. Learn from them and just keep trying. I think that the fastest way to improve would be to either obsessively drill you memory method and/or become comfortable with long sessions(>40 solves). I almost always came out of a long session just a bit better even if I am exhausted at the end.
 
Was bored so doing reconstruction.

I think I scrambled wrong but it was: U B2 U B' U2 B' R F2 D F2 R2 L2 D2 B L2 F U2 F B R2. Can someone find what I did wrong?

Memo: GANdalF's Orange Juice ViDeo was eXtreme. VieW TaB LUL.
About 40 seconds so 2.5 per target.

Exec:
Edges:
M2
[L U' L' U: M2]
x' [U' R2 U: M2]
[U' R U: M2]
[R U' R' U: M2]
[L' U L U': M2]
[U' R' U: M2] x
M2 D R' U R' U' M' U R U' M R D'
M2 D R' U R' U' M' U R U' M R D'

85 moves

Corners:

[Y] is standard Y-perm without F/F' at beginning/end
[L] is L perm starting with R' U L' (with U' at end)
[J] is J-perm starting with R U R' F' (with U' at end)

F3 [Y] F
R2 [L] R2
D' [Y] D
U2 [J] U2
R' F [Y] F' R
D F3 [Y] F D'
R' F [Y] F' R
F' [(U R U' R')2, L'] F

140 moves

140+85=225

225 turns/71.74 sec=3.1363 tps

meh.
