It was something like (may not be remembering this correctly):

Corners: IV (pictured someone on an IV) GM (pictured gumballs in the IV) TN (pictured giant 1 ton weight on person on IV :p) Q (pictured a Q on the weight - not sure how effective that really is.)
Edges: GV (gov) IW (iw (im not good at making words or even sounds, lol) EA (ea XD) BL (ball) HT (hat) H.

Nice improvement. Do you have any sort of system for single letters?

box + stackmat
part of a 16 success streak
 
5/5 mBLD for the fourth time (31:38.964 PB) just 6 days before my competition!!
Got some new noise-cancelling headphones today so that helped!!

Also my first sub 3 Mo3 3BLD (2:22.15, 2:34.61, 2:40.51 = 2:32.423 Mo3) ready to smash that 3 minute qualification time for World's!!
 
After 89 solves, I finally got a 5BLD mean of 3 (scrambles from the weekly competition) and average of 5:

mean of 3: 10:42.96
Time List:
1. 11:30.07
2. 10:25.85
3. 10:12.94

avg of 5: 11:38.14
Time List:
1. 12:58.48
2. (DNF(11:14.09))
3. 11:30.07
4. 10:25.85
5. (10:12.94)

My PB single before this was 11:19 too. Sub-10 will happen eventually.
I forgot to start recording for the first solve of the mean, but the last two were filmed:


I should really switch over to corner comms already...

For single letters I often just imagine the letter on the last object that I put in my image. For example if I had pictured one of those one ton weight things, I would have pictured a Q on the weight. Do you have any suggestions on what would be better than this?
There are a few options but they are only better if they work for you.
  • You could choose a certain subject that you use only for single letters. I use superheroes so in that case it would be Quicksilver, I've known someone use Pokémon.
  • You could have an unused letter as an imaginary 2nd letter to make a pair so if your system doesn't use Z you could have Quiz.
  • You might want to use a letter on the buffer piece as the imaginary 2nd letter. If the Q was in my edge memo I have D/F as my buffer so U and K are available giving Quick or Queue. I'd like to change to this method as there are lots of options and then I get to use more superheroes in my memo.
