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.

I just don't include them in my memo at all. For edges, I note which it is in my mind, often tapping it (I don't touch pieces for the rest of my memo), and for corners I do the same, and sometimes make a twisting motion over it in the direction it needs to flip. This sometimes leads to me flipping a corner the wrong direction if I forget, and I'll definitely have to do something better if I ever start BigBLD or MBLD, but it works for now

Have you been using more corner comms yet? I feel like you could get sub-30 pretty quickly if you dedicated yourself to 3-style for a few months

 

[sigalig]

Can you turn them off and use them as regular headphones?

I actually learned about a minute before my first multi attempt at my last comp that my noise cancelling headphones were not comp legal. However I asked if I could just use them and keep the noise cancelling button switched off and the delegate okay'ed it. Not sure if that implies that it is always legal, but it might be up to the delegate.

That'd but up to the delegate yeah. Must would be okay with it would be my guess. If you can remove batteries, then I doubt there's a delegate that'd disallow it.

These are some good ideas, I'll keep them in mind. I don't think I know enough superheros for that so I'd need to choose a different topic though . Thanks!
