Are there any algorithms that your fingers know and you don't?

[AndyRoo789]

Yep, almost all my algs are in my fingers.

The bad thing is I can't do them at all in OH.

true dat

 

[TheMachanga]

ALL. I can't even write a T-perm without having my cube next to me.

 

[foxdi]

all the algos is in my finger .

i cant do OH too , unless i practice OH algo fingertrick ? .

i cant recite or write out any algo except for those like F (R U R' U') F'

 

[1996iscool]

Well I sometimes forget an algorithim but my fingers remember it's like it has a pattern.

 

[V-te]

All.

I was showing a kid what PLL does, and he showed me the alg, and I tried to follow the paper. Later on when I tried it fast, I forgot it in my fingers. I had to stop for about 5 mins before it came back. It's so strange.

 

[vgbjason]

all my plls, and most of my olls. i have to sit and envision myself doing each move to write it down

R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'

Lol I had to pause like five times to get that down.

I find it incredible how these algs become so second nature, that we barely have to think to execute them. We notice the pattern, and the alg automatically comes out.

 

[spdqbr]

Ask J-Fly, my entire cubing style is based on this phenomenon.
That's part of the reason I really really suck at OH.

 

[Enter]

I only know notation for 10 algs the first 10 I learned and the rest is just muscle memory more than 100 algs in my fingers cool

 

[lorki3]

most of my algs as well but mostly my f2l algs

 

[linkmaster03]

Just about all the ones I know.

 

[Fox]

Hum... yeah, some OLLs and PLLs.

 

[Escher]

I thought this would be more common, but every algorithm I know (about 250-300), I can do slowly, or write down in notation. Almost all are stored in my muscle memory too, but I also just know how they go.
Maybe I learn them weirdly? :confused:

EDIT: It made starting OH easy though!

 

[Novriil]

T perm mostly.. When I try to do it from my head I'm very slow.. and Y perm I can't do by head at all.. but I guess that comes from BLD..

 

[PEZenfuego]

About half of my olls (two look) and plls I can sort of visualize and write down. A quarter of them I can figure out and write down if I move my hands without a cube in them. The remaining quarter I can't reconstruct without a cube.

 

[driftboy_wen]

i easily do fast or slow of all of my algs *_*

 

[PeterNewton]

Every single one of my PLLs. Its sad, I know. xD

 

[iasimp1997]

Both A-Perms

 

[rubiknewbie]

There are algorithms that I can write down without the cube, there are algorithms I need my fingers to execute before writing down. There are a couple where the fingertricks depend on how I place my hand and if I place wrongly I screw up the whole algorithm.

However as I do more one-handed practice, more of the algorithms become logical rather than instinctive because when you do one-handed you really need to know which direction to turn.
